Accusing the United States of using Ukraine and other satellite countries of gaining up on Russia shows just just how close we came to WW111 before the election of Donald Trump. It didn’t look like he was too worried about Europe’s roll at the time. About a minute video.

Stupid wall street trying to sell into it. As gold moves to the US maybe there’s a renewed interest in what’s going on with the prices. I heard but can’t verify that 1000 oz silver bars have a higher premium than lower weights because of the demand and availability.

it would be a great week.

Ligher volume and absorbing the move higher is good I think.

What a great transition from Monday’s bloodbath.

They’re not just loose cannons who’ll turn on anybody and shouldn’t have the aircraft but can’t even take care of them. Their hopeless. Like failing companies losing investors money, they’re a on going concern.

Re Potcho’s……They are the ones that Vlad really shiites himself over…..such a fearsome fighting force.

JUST IN: Politico reports that Portugal’s defense minister has ruled out buying the F-35 fighter jet due to issues relating to ‘the recent position of the United States’ and concerns the US could ‘bring limitations to use, maintenance, components, and everything that has to do with ensuring that aircraft will be operational’

Incredible note from Jared Woodard, the Head of Global Research at Bank of America:

He says the risks of Trump and Bessent’s plan are worth it, status quo is unsustainable.

In the Dutch Financial Times: repatriate the Dutch gold before Trump freezes it in economic warfare.

Especially with the metals a little soft.

Nice when we go up regardless of what the SM does. We’ve waited an awful long time to see this.

They just engineered a dump to try to stuff silver again, but the way the shares are holding, it makes me wonder if the metals aren’t going to come back.

I didn’t check the figures. “30,000 net short” does seem low. It is “net” so I dunno.

Relevant-KGC I seem to remember something about this but did not dig deep. Is Relevant a good one? Nice to have the backing of a major.

Does that 30K short contract by JPM and UBS seem right to you? The COT report shows 100K short position on silver, that seems to be a steady level for the banks week in and week out. Is Columbo talking about something new?

Also – for you or anyone else? I see that KGC has taken a big position in Relevant Gold, do you know anything about it?

… $382 … right now … if it didn’t trade during New York/Comex hours.

And if you go to CME you can see why today in spades as they added over 4k new contracts yesterday to keep the price contained. (and 25k for gold)

Thing is, there are also idiots shorting record amounts of the silver in the EFTs (is it the banks?) – making for a truly explosive situation in spite of the usual rinse/repeat Comex cycle looking like it’s preparing for another go soon.

I don’t know what’s going on, but this has never happened before – so maybe the outcome will be different this time.

Silver only has $300+ worth of catching up to do.

Many thanks for posting this link – Much appreciated – I owe you one!

Plan to finish watching it over the weekend.

€4.4 billion from the Global Gateway package will go to projects supporting a clean and just energy transition in South Africa.

It’s a significant first pledge in the context of the Scaling up Renewables in Africa campaign.

I hope it will inspire many others to contribute!

One of the key factors keeping silver’s price suppressed over the past year, even as gold surged, has been the heavy short-selling of COMEX silver futures by swap dealers—primarily the trading desks of bullion banks such as JPMorgan and UBS. This was a deliberate effort to cap silver’s price (check out an egregious recent example of this kind of manipulation). In the process, they amassed a massive net short position of 30,233 futures contracts, equivalent to 151 million ounces of silver—nearly one-fifth of the annual global silver production. This staggering figure highlights the immense downward pressure exerted on the silver market.

What’s even more astonishing is how much of this massive short position in silver futures is naked, meaning it isn’t backed by physical silver. It’s merely “paper” silver being dumped onto the market to suppress prices. However, once silver finally breaks out, it could trigger a wave of short-covering—when traders who bet against an asset through short-selling are forced to buy it back as prices rise to limit their losses. As the price climbs, these traders become increasingly desperate to close their positions, further fueling the rally.

If the buying pressure is intense enough, it could even lead to a short squeeze, dramatically amplifying silver’s upward momentum. Given the sheer size of their short position, bullion banks stand to lose approximately $151 million for every $1 increase in the price of silver—a setup for a major price surge. Now, just imagine what will happen as silver climbs by $5, $10, $20, and beyond from this point.

Course, he’s using charts. OTOH, what else is there in this tough little market?

I myself looked at some pm share charts, and boy do some of them look ready to explode.

https://www.zerohedge.com/precious-metals/why-its-silvers-time-shine-now

We had $3K and $34 but we’ve lost it temporarily. GLD, SLV and the shares are all up in the pre-market. Shares especially.

SM trying to bounce off its oversold position, but lately the bounces don’t stick so well.

Dollar down a little.

Looking forward to the break of $34-$35 area so we can truly launch this rocket.

There was no war of the machines today, maybe because it’s Friday. Slow and steady is better than short term panic buying that doesn’t last I hope.

This is a Yearly chart of Au on Log chart….the current rally is not anywhere near as fast as previous ones….though the scum didn’t exist in the
past….that said there is no blow off action yet.
