  1. Silver Squeeze Risk Grows as Institutions Move Into Miners | Peter Krauth

    Silver Squeeze Risk Grows as Institutions Move Into Miners | Peter Krauth

    Silver’s powerful rally may be entering a new phase, and the biggest opportunity could now lie in mining equities. Speaking with Kitco News at PDAC 2026, Peter Krauth, author of The Great Silver Bull and editor of Silver Stock Investor, said the market has likely moved beyond its early accumulation stage and into the awareness phase of the bull cycle. He expects volatility to remain a defining feature of the market this year as prices continue climbing. Krauth also warned that structural pressure may be building in the paper silver market. “If you get some big futures holder that says, ‘I'm standing for delivery,’ and the exchange can't meet that delivery,” he said, “that's when all you know what breaks loose, and then that's a reset.” At the same time, institutional capital may finally be turning toward the sector, with large funds beginning to recognize the need for exposure to resources. Krauth argues that silver developers remain deeply discounted relative to producers, leaving significant upside if capital flows accelerate. Despite silver’s surge, he believes the cycle is still early. “This bull market is just getting started.” Recorded March 02, 2026. 00:58 - Silver Bull Market Bear Trap Explained 02:55 - Geopolitics, Recession Risk and Silver vs Gold 03:58 - COMEX Silver Squeeze and Delivery Risk 05:50 - India Moves Away From LBMA Silver Pricing 07:09 - Industrial Silver Demand and Substitution Limits 09:00 - Solar Power, Batteries, and Silver Demand 11:02 - Silver Miners Scarcity Premium Explained 11:28 - Institutional Investors Enter Silver Mining Stocks 15:12 - Silver Miners Leverage on the Silver Price 16:41 - Offtake Deals and Physical Silver Premiums 17:50 - How to Invest in Silver Stocks Now Special thanks to our sponsors, GoldMining Inc., U.S. Gold Mining Inc., UEC & URC for making this coverage possible.

    Silver Looks Stronger Than Gold Right Now. Here’s Why | Gary Wagner

    The gold and silver markets are hitting a major pivot point as extreme geopolitical volatility clashes with a wave of aggressive technical selling. After gold touched a peak of $5,434 following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, the metal has retreated significantly, testing critical support levels amid massive daily price swings of up to $200.  In this episode of Chart This recorded March 9 2026, Gary Wagner, Editor of The Gold Forecast, explains why he is strictly ignoring the "unsustainable" daily wicks and instead focusing on the "real bodies" of the candlesticks to find the true market floor. We also dive into the 38% surge in oil prices this week—which Gary identifies as the primary "leading indicator" for all asset classes—and the "highly exaggerated" 4% jump in the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) that is acting as a massive anchor on the metals complex.  From the possibility of an "A-B-C correction" to silver’s surprising internal strength, this interview provides the roadmap needed to navigate these unique and volatile times.

    Clem Chambers: 'Gold Is For War' And $6000 Is The Real Target

    Jeremy Szafron, Anchor of Kitco News, sits down with Clem Chambers, founder of anewfn.com, to navigate the latest market volatility and geopolitical risks. Chambers breaks down why the current oil spikes are tactical rather than a long-term strategic shift. He argues that the artificial intelligence boom is a foundational technological leap, akin to the steam engine, which will drive a massive global energy boom requiring all sources of power. The conversation explores the reality of European deindustrialization as surging energy costs hobble manufacturing in Germany and the UK. In the precious metals market, Chambers explains his thesis that gold is for war and serves as a vital strategic reserve for central banks, projecting a long-term target of $6,000 per ounce. He contrasts this with silver, which he dubs FOMO gold. Chambers also addresses the growing stress in credit markets, warning that shadow banking and private credit funds are facing defaults as the Federal Reserve drains liquidity from the system. Furthermore, he dismisses the death of the dollar narrative, noting the currency's continued strength against global peers. Finally, Chambers outlines why Bitcoin is behaving as a liquidity asset poised to drop to $40,000 , and why platinum and palladium offer glaring investment opportunities. Recorded March 9 2026.

    ‘The Guy with the Biggest Military’ | Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson on the Fatal Flaw in Gold

    In this exclusive for Kitco News, Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson, Chief Investment Officer at Lemelson Capital Management, to dissect a global market he describes as 'detached from reality'. Following a historic $36 intraday swing in oil, Lemelson warns that the current volatility is merely a 'tremor before the major earthquake'. Fr. Lemelson challenges the core thesis of the 'gold bugs,' arguing that while trust in fiat is breaking down, gold is not a guaranteed sanctuary. He posits a sobering geopolitical reality: in a global crisis, 'it’s the guy with the biggest military that’s gonna take what he wants'. From the 'capture' of the Federal Reserve to the 'accounting chicanery' fueling a 'house of cards' in the AI sector, Lemelson pulls no punches on the structural rot facing investors. He further details why 'being passive is usually just a euphemism for being lazy' and why retail investors often end up as the 'exit liquidity' for sophisticated multi-strategy hedge funds that are currently getting 'hammered'.

    Luke Gromen: Gold To $6,000 By Midyear As US Faces 1956 Suez Moment

    Luke Gromen, founder and president of Forest for the Trees, joins Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron to analyze the macroeconomic fallout from the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Gromen explains why the bond market is the real battleground right now and how foreign investors are being forced to sell US Treasuries to finance their energy deficits. The conversation explores shifting global power dynamics, with Gromen drawing direct parallels to the 1956 Suez crisis. He details the vulnerabilities of a 100 year sovereign debt bubble, the potential for an AI driven consumer credit crisis, and why trust in sovereign paper is rapidly declining. As global liquidity risks rise, Gromen highlights why institutions are increasingly treating gold as a final settlement asset and outlines his forecast for gold prices to reach $6,000 by midyear if current geopolitical and energy constraints persist.

    Willem Middelkoop: Why $500 Silver is Possible as Comex Inventory Drops 30%

    Willem Middelkoop says the monetary reset is no longer a forecast. It is unfolding now. Speaking with Kitco News at PDAC 2026, the Founder and CEO of Commodity Discovery Fund reiterated his aggressive silver outlook. “It was 2021 when I called for $100 silver,” he said. “Now I'm calling for $500 silver.” Middelkoop argues that historical benchmarks still matter, noting the gold-silver ratio “traditionally has been one in 10 for over 2000 years,” while physical supply continues to tighten. He added, “If you look at the silver production in Peru, it's down 40% over the last five years.” Beyond price targets, Middelkoop believes the global financial order is shifting east. “The price discovery mechanism for gold and silver is moving from Chicago to Shanghai,” he said, adding, “I think this is Bretton Woods 3.0.” He warned that “the next crisis could be a sovereign debt crisis,” but maintains that despite volatility and geopolitical tension, “We are just starting.” 01:06 - Silver Squeeze Setup 02:47 - Comex Credibility Cracks 04:18 - Shanghai Takes Over 07:36 - Mexico Mining Risk 08:50 - Fed No Longer Matters 09:53 - Bretton Woods 3.0 11:32 - Sovereign Debt Reckoning 13:39 - Middle East Political Fallout 17:20 - What It Means for Miners 19:01 - M&A and Copper Deals 23:06 - Portfolio Positioning 25:44 - Black Swan and Stacking Special thanks to our sponsors, GoldMining Inc., U.S. Gold Mining Inc., UEC & URC for making this coverage possible.

    Rick Rule: The Easy Silver Trade Is Over. The Real Money Is in Stocks

    Rick Rule says his silver position “as a speculation, has run its course,” and he is now looking for opportunity in equities, discoveries, and consolidation. Speaking with Kitco News at PDAC 2026, the President and CEO of Rule Investment Media explained why he exited physical silver after a major move. “I bought silver some years ago because it was hated,” he said. “I was wrong. It quadrupled.” Rule said he redeployed about half of the proceeds into silver stocks, arguing that parts of the equity market still reflect more conservative pricing than the metal itself. He also said the industry is entering a new phase as older exploration spending begins to bear fruit. “We’re coming into a very, very, very exciting period throughout the value chain and mining,” he said, adding that when a real discovery is made, “it will be bought for eye-popping multiples.” Rule expects consolidation to build, and he challenged official inflation data, saying, “I think the conventional measures of inflation are lies.” Recorded March 02, 2026. 00:54 - Silver to Stocks 02:34 - Exploration Payoff Cycle 03:50 - M&A and Takeovers 06:50 - Royalties and Consolidation 09:33 - Institutions and Dumb Money 13:18 - Dividends vs Sustaining Capex 16:11 - Taking Control 18:41 - Silver Squeeze Reality 20:04 - COMEX Force Majeure 23:44 - Borrowing Against Bullion 25:16 - Rule Symposium Breakdown 29:53 - Uranium Copper Inevitables 31:37 - Copper Pretenders Warning Special thanks to our sponsors, GoldMining Inc., U.S. Gold Mining Inc., UEC & URC for making this coverage possible.

    Frank Giustra & Ian Harris: $6.00 Copper, $1.5B Buyout & The "Gun-Shy" Majors Paying The Price

    Copper has hit a record $6.04/lb, but the physical market is reaching a breaking point. On the opening day of PDAC 2026, Hudbay Minerals ignited the M&A cycle with a US$1.48 billion acquisition of Arizona Sonoran at a 30% premium - a move that confirms the "gun-shy" majors are officially losing their window to buy cheap metal. In this exclusive Copper Panel, Jeremy Szafron sits down with Frank Giustra (Fiore Group) and Ian Harris (CEO, Copper Giant Resources) to discuss a global "Black Swan" event: a bridge collapse that has severed the DRC’s main copper export corridor, effectively cutting off the world’s second-largest producer. With only four "billion-tonne" near-surface assets left undeveloped in the world, the guests break down why the current $6.00 price is just the baseline for a decade-long supply squeeze driven by the AI power crunch and the $1.4 trillion decay of the U.S. electrical grid. The 14¢ vs. 1¢ Valuation Gap The Hudbay deal valued Arizona Sonoran at roughly 15 cents per pound of copper in the ground. Meanwhile, Tier-1 assets like Copper Giant (TSXV: CGNT) are trading at just 1 cent per pound—a massive valuation gap that Frank Giustra calls a "no-brainer" for investors watching the majors scramble for replacement reserves.
