SD Bullion

Gold and silver prices pulled back sharply last week as hawkish Federal Reserve messaging weighed on investor sentiment, but many long-term bullion advocates see the decline as an opportunity rather than a warning sign. Behind the short-term volatility, central banks continue accumulating gold at a historic pace while concerns over rising government debt and currency debasement remain unresolved. In this week's market update, we examine why precious metals investors are staying bullish despite weakening prices, what major central banks are signaling about the future of global reserves, and why silver's supply-demand fundamentals continue to attract attention.

Silver price just went through one of the wildest 2-week stretches we’ve seen in years — ripping to ~$125 and then plunging ~30% in a single day before printing a sharp $64 spike low and bouncing hard. In this episode of SD Bullion market news, SD Bullion CEO Chase Turner sits down with Senior Market Analyst James Anderson to break down what actually drove the move (hot money + leveraged options flow), why the selloff accelerated so violently (fear + margin calls), and what the charts and fundamentals suggest could come next. We also zoom out to the big-picture cycle: gold’s leadership, silver’s long-term breakout context, and why physical demand/warehouse draws matter more than the day-to-day paper price noise.
