RE: $300-$500 silver - $8000 Gold23 Jan 2026 13:34
One of the market commentators I listen to, PP, is Michael Oliver. There are just so many factors that will just drive silver higher
- Increased demand from production driven by (in part) new tech like EVs and AI data centres.
- China is controlling what they export…
- and I think March is normally one of the big months for contracts being stood up for delivery. There is every chance that could fail as they don’t have enough silver.
- So what happens to the price of silver if they just can’t meet the demand? If they can’t physically supply the stuff?…
Then there is the increased demand as a monetary metal:
- the Japanese 10 year bonds are rocketing and this kills the carry trade that provided liquidity for the US markets which will take a hit
- markets take a hit - so does the AI tech bubble finally get called out as the overpriced nonsense that it is?… and panic sets in?
- the mag 7 drop, and people bail out the markets (into something more safe, gold, silver?)
-> the capital rotation out the stock market and into precious metals that is already underway will just accelerate.
- in addition, devaluation of the dollar to attempt to devalue the debt…..
There are multiple catalysts at play here so yeah Silver really can go crazy.
$100/oz is not where the silver story ends!!
