Today Gold and sliver news 131

Um, where are we now? So, we're like somewhere between 77 and 85 or 77 and 82. The fact that I don't even know where it is within $5 tells you exactly where we are. There's too much happening in the world right now for me to say that this is going to last beyond 2026. Um, it's uh I I don't >> You're watching Silver News Daily. Subscribe for more. >> Silver isn't just a metal, it's a signal. And right now that signal is screaming. For years it's been sidelined, suppressed, and forgotten while gold stole the headlines. But according to Rafie Farber, that's about to change fast. He says the entire precious metals complex is just getting started. But silver, silver is the one that's going to shock everyone. Not just because of what it is, but because of what it represents in a collapsing financial system. This isn't just about charts or technicals. This is about the world waking up to the brutal reality of fiat destruction and the rush into anything real. Silver is positioned like a coiled spring. And when it finally releases, it won't move slowly. It will launch. And if Farber is right, 2026 isn't just the year silver breaks records. It's the year silver breaks the system. Um, where are we now? So, we're like somewhere between 77 and 85 or 77 82. The fact that I don't even know where it is within $5 tells you exactly where we are. Um, I've I've lost track. Um, I'll tell you what it's like over here. Just I'm getting a lot of calls uh from people who don't usually talk to me asking where they can get silver. Um, one guy called me who has never called me before. I had one conversation with him about central banks. I was with him um uh with his daughter and then son-in-law uh over a Shabbat dinner a few months ago and then I discovered that he has some central bank consciousness as to what's going on. But then he he was like really alarmistly alarmfully worried that if he makes the silver order now and um at a at a company that uh imports silver here in a lot that they wouldn't go through because there's China is about to shut down or something like that or they're they're going to shut down exports. And he was really worried about getting a supply. So I was like look just make an order relax. You can do it. You'll probably get it. if you don't get it, they'll give you your your chuckles back. Um, just a lot of a lot of nervousness and people looking at me a little bit differently. Usually, it's like, "Oh, I'm intelligent, but I talk about gold and silver and I'm wasting my time with these little trinkets." But now, it's like they're looking at me and uh they're less laughing. Uh, and I feel kind of bad because I know none of them have the money to stack uh, anymore because it's already like $80 an ounce. I mean, they should have done it when it was 20, but that's that's the thing about hyperinflation. Nobody nobody goes in nobody goes all in until everybody goes all in and then it all happens at once. So, I don't I don't think we're on the verge of of hyperinflation like within days because we still have to uh have one last major bank bailout or whatever the financial crisis is going to be. We haven't had that yet. So, once that once that happens, I do I still expect a huge uh selloff in everything including gold and silver, but it would last maybe a few days or maybe just a few hours. I don't even know. and then the Fed to print like something like $10 trillion overnight and that should be the end uh after that. Uh it should be the end game and I don't know if days to weeks after that. So um we might have one more shot here, but it's we're getting to the you know the two-minute warning now. Now before we get back to the video, I want to take a brief moment to talk about one of the biggest investment opportunities right now which I am incredibly excited about. For those who don't know, gold has been on a generational bull run, reaching over $4,000 an ounce for the first time in history. And experts predict this is only the beginning. Bank of America sees gold reaching $5,000 in 2026. So does JP Morgan and so does Goldman Sachs. These are three of the most respected financial institutions in the world. All saying that the gold rally has just begun and gold stocks are soaring because of it. Everyone is starting to invest in them. The bull market is going to continue and investors are going to miss out if they don't capitalize. This is a massive opportunity which is why I'd like to highlight the sponsor of today's video, Too Good Gold, Mine1 Gold right now. Too good owns 100% of their high-grade gold project in Newf Finland. The team behind this stock has delivered over $3 billion in shareholder returns, including recently Snowline Gold worth over $2.2 billion. They know how to build massive companies. They are currently drilling and initial results show incredible potential. 10 out of 30 drill holes identified visible high-grade gold. More drill results are still pending and at a $14 million market cap, they are very undervalued. Investors should seriously consider investing in too good gold. Now, this is a sponsor. This video is not financial advice. Always do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions, but full transparency. This is a great company with a great team in a very good bull market. I like it a lot. Back to the video. For decades, gold has led the charge whenever fiat currencies started to wobble. It's the metal of kings, the hedge of choice, and the first stop when the system starts to crack. But silver, silver is the one that comes in after gold has lit the fuse. And when it does, it doesn't walk, it runs. Just look at history. In 1980, gold hit new highs, but silver exploded, shooting from under $6 to nearly $50 in months. In 2011, the same story repeated. Gold broke out, and silver slingshoted right behind it with over 400% gains. And now, in 2026, we're watching the exact same setup unfold. Gold already had a record-breaking 2025, but silver is still sitting below its inflationadjusted highs. Waiting. This isn't a question of if. This is a question of when. Because silver always follows gold. And when it does, it moves with a ferocity that catches even seasoned investors offguard. Rafie Farber sees it clearly. Gold has opened the door, and silver is about to kick it off the hinges. I care about it a little bit because I do have a very limited amount of options. I mean, look, I run a newsletter. I can't just constantly talk about monetary philosophy. It doesn't change. So, I do have to trade a little bit just to keep people interested uh on that on that level. But, I don't it's like that's like a cherry on top. I wouldn't even say the whipped cream. It's less than that. So what like for example I spent like a few hundred when when silver first broke 50 on October 9th right I said to my subscribers look you you may if you have a few extra hundred bucks or something you may want to get a few SLV call options on let's say something way out of the money like uh whatever the strike was because once silver breaks 50 it could go much higher very fast because it's done that before. So, we did that and uh you know, it made a lot of money and I I already sold out of most of that position. I still have like just a few just a handful left, so I care. Um but I I'm not I'm not like stressing over it. I made I made some I made some nice profit and that's all. Um, but if you're going to go all in on derivatives and make a bet on how fast Lord is going to get to some uh to some target within a certain short time period because you have a like, you know, $50,000 of debt to pay off and you're relying on that, that's that's a bad it's a bad situation cuz that's what the uh silver short sellers are looking for. You know, if they if they can get you squeezed out, they'll do it. I don't know if they can. Uh, but look, we're in a theoretical, we have to acknowledge, as exciting as this is and all the positive emotions that bring up, we have to acknowledge that we are in very dangerous territory here because the comx could jack up margin rates to 100% if they wanted to, which means that you don't get any leverage exposure. What is it? What is it now? Like 40%. I don't I don't know. It's um I think it's measured in dollar terms, not percentage terms. last I saw was like $30,000 or something. Could be off on that, but they could jack it up to 100% if they feel really threatened. And then that forces a lot of people out of positions because they suddenly have to fund. Like if if you have if you own let's say you're let's say you're a hedge fund and you own contracts uh in long positions in silver 5,000 ounce silver contracts on let's say 30% margin. So that's 70% of the cash you don't have to put into that. And then all of a sudden they're jacked up to 100%. and you don't have the cash, you got to sell those like immediately or or they'll they'll sell it for you by force. This is this is all technical stuff. I mean, it has nothing to do with the inherent value of silver or anything like that. It's just we are we're still in a derivative system. They still got a lot of levers to pull here. You got to be careful. Um so, if you're a stacker, keep stacking or if you had if you have enough, stop. But, um you know, I wouldn't I wouldn't sell here because any anything could happen here. anything. We could go we go to 100 tomorrow. We go down to 50 tomorrow. I really have no idea. >> The silver story isn't just about demand. It's about vanishing supply. And that's where things get dangerous. While most people focus on price charts and headlines, a silent crisis has been building in the background. The physical silver market is drying up. Inventories in major vaults, especially in London, have been thinning out for years. According to analysts, the situation has become so tight that even minor disruptions can trigger violent price swings. And we're seeing it already. Just last week, silver surged past $80 on a weak jobs report with whispers of a supply squeeze echoing across the market. But this isn't a one-off event. This is the start of a structural crunch. Mining production is down. Industrial demand from solar panels to EVs is hitting record highs and yet there's less and less metal to go around. Rafy Farber has been warning that the physical market would be the Achilles heel of the entire system and in 2026 that warning is coming. True. Because once silver becomes hard to find, price doesn't just go up, it goes vertical. >> Yeah. So that I did a top 10 and I would recommend your viewers to watch it. I think I did. It came out pretty well. I think um a lot of what I say subverts even what stackers like to say like gold and silver are a store of value. I don't like that language at all. I mean, you could technically say it's a store of value, but that's just a function of the liquidity of these metals, right? The a money is just the most liquid commodity that exists. There's nothing else to it. We're overthinking it by saying that it's anything else than that. It's a thing that changes its price relative to every other thing the least. And that's why people hold that's why it's a store of value. Though value isn't a thing that can be stored. It's not you can't put it anywhere. It doesn't like live in the atoms of a gold bar, right? It's a it's it's a subjective thing. But the the material of the gold itself has people subjectively thinking what its value is changing the least relative to everything else because the most people want to buy and the most people want to sell at the same time. Well, what you were touching on was the the the myth number 10 that that uh you can invest in gold and silver, right? You can't you can't invest in gold and silver. You can only divest your credit go back into money, right? The the only way to get out of credit is to go into money. There's nothing below uh the the simplest form of credit is the dollar because all other credit is based on the dollar. The only way to get out of the dollar is to go underneath it and that is gold and silver. So, it's a divestment. Uh when you when you have currency, a currency is just an a liability note, a liability that's a ticket for Pratta, everything that's on whatever central bank of whatever bal uh whatever balance sheet of whatever central bank is issues that currency, a dollar, a euro, a a Japanese yen, it all goes back to that central bank. So owning that currency, whether in digital or physical form of uh literally cash in your mattress or a CBDC, if god forbid that should ever come to fruition, that's all just a liability note of a central bank. So owning currency is an investment in the panic into silver isn't just about metal. It's about what money is becoming. As confidence in fiat currencies continues to erode, investors are no longer just hedging. They're fleeing. Central banks have quietly turned their backs on bonds and equities, shifting trillions into tangible assets like gold. But silver, silver is what comes next, especially when fear spreads from institutions to the public. Inflation may have eased in the headlines, but in the real economy, prices are still rising, purchasing power is still collapsing, and trust in the system is breaking down. Add to that the geopolitical chaos from Venezuela to the Middle East, and what you get is the perfect storm for a hard asset rush. Rafie Farber doesn't just see silver as a metal. He sees it as the final escape hatch from a fiat system in terminal decline. In this environment, silver isn't just a hedge. It's a lifeboat. And in 2026, that lifeboat is getting crowded. The move we're seeing isn't technical. It's psychological. It's monetary. It's the beginning of a complete repricing of reality. Those central banks. In order to divest from those central banks, you have the only way to go is gold and silver. Because if you go higher in the pyramid, let's say you you own debt, uh Japanese debt or treasury debt or whatever it is, that just goes higher and higher up the credit derivative. And that's like that's like a leveraged investment in the central bank, right? So, for example, if you're going to if you're going to own gold, fine, you own gold. If you're going to own a gold derivative, you maybe maybe you'll own GLD, which is less safe and and it's not going to do you much good if uh everything goes down. But even worse, even more leverage than that would be the 2x uh gold uh ETF like what what's it called? Um UGL I think. Uh something. So the higher you go in the credit derivative, if you go into debt or you go into stocks or you go into um whatever it is else that central banks buy um tech stocks, whatever um I think they even buy options now. So that's all that's all an investment in the central bank. The only way to get out of it is to divest. And the only way to divest from the credit system is gold and silver. Um because what happens when credit collapses is that that credit is credit is only in our minds. It's that the credit is the invention. Money is not an invention. Money is a natural thing. That's all it is. Um and the fact that we are exchanging and economic beings that we trade with each other rather than um strictly fight with each other. Of course we fight with each other. We do that all the time. But we have the ability unlike any other animal to trade with each other and we do that with liquidity. So we discover what the most liquid commodity is wherever we were. It doesn't have to be gold but in a global economy it's gold. And uh that's that's what we use. And then credit is is an invention. When credit goes away the all the stuff that's here is still here. So so that you if you can no longer buy anything with credit you have to be able to buy something with something. and that the answer is you buy you buy it with what credit is based on, which is money. >> Rafie Farber isn't speculating. He's sounding the alarm. His call for a silver breakout in 2026 isn't based on hype or hope. It's rooted in a monetary philosophy he's been championing for years. To Farber, silver is the canary in the coal mine for fiat collapse, and the signals are no longer subtle. He believes we are witnessing the death spiral of paper currencies and that central banks are trapped, unable to hike rates without imploding debt markets and unable to cut without unleashing hyperinflation. In this no-win scenario, confidence unravels and silver, real tangible monetary silver, becomes the escape valve. And this isn't theoretical anymore. The moves we're seeing in silver's price aren't speculative bursts. They're the early stages of revaluation. Farber has said repeatedly that silver isn't just undervalued. It's systematically suppressed. And when that pressure breaks, the market will overcorrect violently. 2026, in his view, is the year suppression ends, confidence dies, and silver reclaims its role. Not as a commodity, but as money. >> Yeah. I I when back when I was on Seeking Alpha and I before I even started the Endgame investor I think this was in um maybe maybe 20 it was maybe 2019 maybe 2020 shortly after co so I don't remember when but uh I was hearing a lot about manipulation in silver and I have a nuance take on that I don't deny that there's manipulation in silver I just I don't think it's a conscious activity mostly uh you know every now and then you could have like a team of spoofers that get in trouble and JP Morgan, they get fined $100 million or whatever it is. That's that's nothing. That's just like air. It doesn't really affect much. The the re the real manipulation is the existence of silver, gold and silver futures themselves. That is the manipulation because that that allows people to um to sell more silver or gold than actually exists. And the the exchanges justify that by saying, well, it doesn't matter if they have the silver. If they have the dollar equivalent of the silver contract in their account, then they can settle that in the dollar equivalent of the silver. Who, you know, if they have the silver, great. If they don't, at least they they we we require them to have if they're shorting a contract cuz I I had to I had to sell a contract once, right? But to to cover my long, I had to go the other side. Uh, so they they require the full dollar amount of that contract. Even if you have the silver in your account, even if you have the the warrant, right? You still have to sell a contract short to deliver the warrant to somebody. So technically, I had to short silver ones. And I know what's involved to do it. Uh so um the the the reason that it looks like manipulation is that that you know any other futures market let's say oil or wheat or whatever right th those are those are consumed and higher prices for wheat they encourage people to consume less because they want to save money right there's on one side you have money which is the the dollar isn't really money but it's more it's more moneyiness than the wheat. It's more liquid. The in the in the dollar/wheat equation, you have dollars on one side, you have wheat on the other side. So the higher the price of wheat goes, the more the the less people want to buy it or any other commodity like oil or lumber, whatever, right? Uh cuz these things are actually used. But but for a money commodity like silver when you have dollars on one side and silver on the other side you have uh if you're talking about industrial silver then yeah on that equation the dollar is more liquid than the silver but if silver keeps going up and up and up and up the moneyiness of silver starts creeping into people's consciousness and the money in that equation becomes the silver. So that becomes the opposite of a consumable commodity. The higher the price goes, the more people want instead of the less people want it. And that creates a very dangerous potential for a positive feedback loop, which will spell the end of all futures markets very quickly. Uh and so what what happens then is again this isn't conscious, but once this the silver price keeps going higher and higher and higher and higher, it locks up more and more money there and and more and more dollars at least. And then all other futures markets get, you know, whacked out like we saw on was it March 7th, 2022 with the nickel whole nickel scenario. There's a short squeeze there. So this this could happen and not by anyone's conscious activity or conscious thought. It could lock up the entire futures market and that's when the comics would have to act not out of any uh malice or anything towards silver stack. >> The gold silver ratio isn't just a technical curiosity. It's one of the clearest signals that something massive is coming. Right now, that ratio is screaming that silver is deeply undervalued. Historically, when the gold silver ratio climbs above 80, it doesn't stay there long. It snaps back violently. And when it does, silver doesn't just catch up to gold. It often overshoots. In early 2026, that ratio hovered around 85, flashing one of the strongest reversion signals we've seen in decades. Rafi Farber has pointed out that every time this ratio reverts, silver goes vertical. And this time, gold has already done its part, surging to new highs, reclaiming its role as a global monetary anchor. That leaves silver massively behind. If the ratio simply falls back to historical norms, say 50 or even 40, silver isn't going to just creep higher. We're talking about a surge toward triple digits almost overnight. This isn't a fantasy. It's math. And when that ratio reverts, the move will be sudden, aggressive, and irreversible. Farber calls it the great silver slingshot, and the cord is already pulled tight. Do anticipate it being in 2026, but again, I caution. I've been wrong about that every time I've said it's going to be this year. Um, but I can't but if I see if I see it, I can't say I don't see how it can keep going. I mean, I'm looking at at international developments. Uh, Venezuela, the Trump administration just trying just I'm not for or against it. I'm just saying like kidnapping the head of the state is that's a very extreme act. And we now we have um hyperinflation in Iran. Suddenly the real is that what they call it the real um uh collapsed and now there's revolution in Iran which you know I'm I'm happy about but other people aren't. Um so uh I mean I don't think it's a coincidence that Maduro is kidnapped and and Iran is under a hyperinflation revolution at the same time. I mean these uh they're part of an axis and the US is also part of of a group and both are disintegrating at the same time. Uh there's too much happening in the world right now for me to say that this is going to last beyond 2026. Um it's uh I I don't I don't see how it could. >> Silver isn't just volatile. It's leveraged chaos in disguise. And when leverage floods into a thin market, you get fireworks. In late 2025, the CME hiked margin requirements on silver futures after an eruption in volatility. A move that always signals too many players are piling in too fast. But here's the thing. Rafie Farber sees that not as a warning, but as a confirmation. It's a sign that the price action is no longer being driven by calm accumulation. It's now being driven by fear, FOMO, and momentum. And in a leveraged environment, small catalysts don't create small moves. They create whiplash. A weak jobs report. Boom. $80 silver. A surprise Fed comment. Another breakout. This is how silver behaves at the edge of a regime shift. Farber argues that we're witnessing the early tremors of a market losing control where price discovery is being overwhelmed by panic buying, short covering, and forced liquidations. And as that storm builds, every uptick becomes more violent. Every dip more shallow until we reach escape velocity. When silver enters that phase, nothing holds it back. Not technicals, not resistance levels, not even logic, just raw unleashed energy. the it it will always be the most liquid commodity. I don't think we're going to discover an element that's more liquid than gold. I think we've discovered as much as we can that we know all the periodic table so that we know all the elements in the universe except for I don't know maybe after 116 we weren't able to put any more atoms together in a in a super collider to make a new element. But I think we're done with discovering liquidity in the entire in the entire universe known or unknown. You know the the periodic table is the periodic table. So there's nothing more liquid than gold. There will nothing there will be nothing more liquid than gold. So it will always be the best money no matter what happens. We're we're not going to escape being economic beings. Um and if you're going to tell me, oh AI is going to take over, well I have some good news that uh that AI is also a function of the bubble, right? Uh a lot of it hurts productivity. It doesn't help it. Um I I noticed I I I see that even with a situation that my son was in just yesterday taking some kind of test for a program and it was all uh it was all operated and translated by AI and there were so many bugs in it that he couldn't do the test because uh this happened to a lot of kids because the system wasn't working and the AI was being stupid. So, a lot of kids like lost about like 20 minutes of testing time and they didn't get it back because the people that were that were administering it, they just wanted to go home. So, like it just messed up the whole thing. You know, this is going to happen a lot. So a AI is just uh it's a function of the bubble and it will go away with everything else because there's a lot of silver that goes into all these chips that uh run AI, gold and silver and other metals and people will need that when credit goes away and uh they'll be hacking away the machines so that they can have some uh actual liquidity and uh we'll we'll be in a different space. I don't think AI will go away completely, but like the the the hype and the insanity surrounding every new thing um w will will go away as people um need to eat and don't have any credit because uh the credit is dead. It's going to be a very different reality. >> There's a pressure cooker under the silver market that almost no one sees and it's about to blow. For years, large institutional players have been quietly shorting silver, using paper contracts to suppress price and maintain the illusion of stability. But Rafi Farber has long warned that this game has a limit. And in 2026, we're nearing it. With physical silver inventories vanishing and demand hitting multi-deade highs, the paper market is running out of room. All it takes is one spark. A delivery default, a surprise Fed pivot, a sudden rush for physical, and the entire stack of leverage collapses. What happens next? A short squeeze of historic proportions. We've seen versions of this before. Silver in 1980, silver in 2011. But this time it's bigger because this time the suppression has gone deeper. The leverage is larger and the physical scarcity is undeniable. Farber believes that once the squeeze begins, price will go vertical. Not over weeks, but over days. and the institutions holding those short positions, they won't have time to unwind. They'll be forced to buy into a market with no sellers, and the result could be the fastest and most violent move silver has ever seen. >> Uh yeah. Um and and here I I can definitely see that people are getting poorer. Uh there's there's also some major protests that are that are breaking out here. Um, you know, the the ultra orth there was a there was a huge event yesterday. It's very rare in Israel. Uh, there was a huge protest in the in one of the ultraorththodox neighborhoods in in Meim in Jerusalem and and an Arab bus driver ran over and killed one of the protesters. Um, you know, this this could lead to like mass, you know, Jewish Arab riots at any point here. Um, I'm I'm kind of out of the picture. I I don't live near any Arabs. It's just us and the Jews up here and we get along fine. There's really no tension between us. But even even here and where things are much better than Iran, I mean things are very tense. And I I saw someone was passing around an an interview of the bank of the the Nagib Bank is the the chair what the the equivalent of the the Israeli Fed chair of the Bank of Israel. He was asked about gold. And uh this is the first time I ever heard him feel this kind of a question. And he said, "Does uh the question was uh does the Bank of Israel have any plans to acquire any gold? Are do you regret that you don't have any that you're one of the very few countries in the world that has no gold, no real assets on your balance sheet at all?" And so he gave this kind of waffling answer of uh you can always uh in hindsight is 2020. If we had known that gold would go up, he would have bought it. He was like treating gold as if it was some kind of like stock pick, right? Um but I was I was listening to this interview. I'm like the the shekele is toast. Forget it. It's it's going to die cuz the these guys have no idea what's what's happening. And they they don't know that that that gold could just explode higher uh you know in in days. And all all the bank of Israel has is dollars and a few other collections of foreign currency. That's it. They've got nothing. >> Everything we've discussed leads to one simple unavoidable truth. Silver's breakout in 2026 isn't just likely, it's already in motion. From the gold le setup to the collapsing supply, from fiat instability to the mounting pressure in the futures market, every signal Rafy Farber has warned about is flashing red. This isn't a speculative trade. This is the monetary system screaming that something is wrong and silver is the release valve. Farber's thesis is brutal but clear. When trust in fiat dies, silver doesn't rise. It detonates. And what we're witnessing now is only the beginning. Price targets of $100 150 or even higher aren't fantasy. They're the logical consequence of decades of suppression, exploding demand, and collapsing confidence. The smart money is already moving. The question is, are you watching it happen or are you preparing? Because once silver breaks through its final resistance, the opportunity to get in at these levels will be gone forever. Make sure you subscribe to stay ahead of this unfolding story. And remember, this is not financial advice.
