Is The Silver Bull Finally Here?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

With silver classically lagging behind gold during the yellow metal\u2019s stunning recent rise, Peter Schiff believes<\/a> the long-anticipated bull market for silver is finally here in earnest. And in a bull market,\u00a0silver tends to outperform gold<\/a>\u00a0– once it finally catches up.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We have covered Silver’s recent run extensively:<\/p>\n

Silver Is Finally Soaring: Here’s Why\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

But, anyone\u00a0watching the gold-silver ratio this year<\/a>\u00a0can clearly see that a breakout was coming for gold\u2019s closest companion<\/strong>. As May turned to June, the market heated up and silver rocketed upward.<\/p>\n

One very interesting aspect of this very recent surge in silver (relative to gold) is that it has coincided with a very heavy period of drawdown for hedge funds<\/strong> as momentum trades have underperformed and most-shorted stocks have soared…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

…making us wonder if hedgies are selling gold to fund margin <\/strong>(or was silver just aggressively shorted<\/strong> and this drawdown in stocks is forcing more degrossing – of those shorts)?<\/p>\n

The gold-silver ratio, which had stubbornly hovered above 80:1 for much of the past year…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

…soared up to a record 105:1 after Liberation Day…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But has since started to collapse back – a clear signal that silver was catching up.<\/p>\n

Silver is finally stepping out of gold\u2019s shadow<\/strong>, and the reasons are as fundamental as they are undeniable.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As Schiff continues to explain, <\/a>silver\u2019s unique dual role as both a monetary metal and an industrial commodity makes it a powerhouse in today\u2019s economy<\/strong>, especially with the never ending obsession with green energy. From solar panels to typical electronics and medical applications, demand has been quietly surging.\u00a0Last year, industrial silver demand hit a new record<\/a>\u00a0when it surpassed 680 million ounces, following three straight previous years of records.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Global silver consumption for solar alone is projected to hit new highs, <\/strong>with\u00a085% of silver paste demand going straight to solar panel production<\/a>. The newer N-type solar panels, which now dominate the market, are more efficient and stable than P-type panels\u2014and they require more silver to produce, not less.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, mine production is flatlining. <\/strong>The world\u2019s top silver-producing countries, like Mexico and Peru, are struggling with declining ore grades and regulatory headaches. Total global mine output in 2024 barely crept above 800 million ounces, while demand is pushing toward 1.2 billion. You don\u2019t need a PhD in economics to see the squeeze coming.<\/p>\n

The U.S. dollar, once the world\u2019s unassailable reserve currency, is losing its grip <\/strong>as\u00a0BRICS nations push for USD alternatives<\/a>\u00a0and central banks hoard gold at record rates. Silver, the more volatile cousin, can benefit disproportionately when trust in paper money collapses. Investors are waking up to the reality that silver, at under $40 an ounce, is still absurdly undervalued compared to gold\u2019s $3,400 price tag. Historically,\u00a0the gold-silver ratio has averaged closer to 50:1 or lower in bull markets<\/a>. If that holds, silver could easily reach $50 an ounce before gold moves higher.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget, you need silver for missiles…<\/p>\n

You need silver for missiles.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t expect the mainstream media or Wall Street to cheer this on.<\/strong> The financial establishment loves to dismiss silver as \u201cspeculative\u201d while peddling overpriced tech stocks and government bonds yielding negative real returns. They\u2019ll tell you inflation is \u201cunder control\u201d while conveniently ignoring that real-world costs\u2014housing, energy, groceries\u2014are rising much faster.\u00a0The CPI is a rigged game, and savers are losing<\/a>. Silver, unlike manipulated paper assets, is a hard asset that can\u2019t be printed or devalued by central bankers. That\u2019s why the smart money\u2014central bankers, hedge funds, family offices, even retail investors\u2014are piling in.<\/p>\n

The silver breakout we\u2019re seeing now was telegraphed months ago<\/a>. Technical traders could have anticipated patterns signaling a major move, and the fundamentals back it up. Add in the geopolitical chaos\u2014trade wars, sanctions, and debt crises\u2014and it\u2019s no surprise that safe-haven demand for precious metals is spiking. Silver\u2019s volatility makes it a wild ride, but that\u2019s exactly why the upside is so explosive.<\/p>\n

The U.S. economy is a house of cards<\/a>\u00a0built on debt and delusion. The national debt is now $36 trillion, with interest payments alone eating up $1 trillion annually. The Fed can\u2019t raise rates without crashing the system, and they can\u2019t cut rates without igniting more inflation. It\u2019s a trap, and silver is the escape hatch. Gold is an enduring store of value, but silver\u2019s industrial demand gives it an extra kicker. As green energy and tech sectors grow, silver\u2019s necessity only increases.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s next? If the gold-silver ratio continues to compress, silver could hit $40 or higher by year-end, with $50 not far behind. <\/strong>The silver market is waking up, and the window to buy silver at these levels is closing fast. Don\u2019t wait for CNBC to tell you it\u2019s time to buy. By then, the train will have left the station.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stack physical silver.<\/strong>\u00a0Central bank balance sheets will remain bloated<\/a>, the fiat system is crumbling, and silver\u2019s breakout is just the beginning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
