    Banks Are Squeezing The Physical Gold Supply: Daniel Oliver Explains Phase Two Volatility

    Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Daniel Oliver, founder of Myrmikan Capital, to analyze the shifting mechanics of the global gold market and the approaching private credit cycle. Oliver argues that the smooth accumulation phase of the gold bull market is officially over. He details how the market is now entering a volatile second phase driven by stress spreading throughout the U.S. credit system. During the interview, Oliver outlines the specific pressures facing the Federal Reserve. He highlights a $10 trillion maturity wall and explains the mathematical impossibility of the central bank shrinking its balance sheet while simultaneously attempting to lower interest rates. He further explains how the private equity industry's massive leverage is setting a trap for policymakers, noting that printing money cannot solve underlying insolvency in sectors like commercial real estate. The conversation also uncovers a hidden squeeze in the physical market. Oliver reveals how nervous banks are tightening margin requirements on smelters. This action forces these entities to shrink their processing pipelines, which directly restricts the physical gold supply entering the broader market and exacerbates price volatility. Finally, Oliver unpacks the historical relationship between central bank balance sheets and gold reserves. By applying 19th-century banking standards to the modern financial system, he lays out the exact math that points to significantly higher gold valuations. "Gold has to go to a price that rebalances the Fed's balance sheet, and $8,000 currently gets you to about a third, $12,000 gets you around a half," states Oliver.

    CME Halts and Silver Volatility: Peter Schiff on the Shift to Physical Demand

    Silver speculation reached a fever pitch this week following a 90-minute CME halt that hit right as prices surged passed $90. While the exchange cited technical issues, the timing - occurring just ahead of the first notice day for March Silver - has sparked intense debate over market liquidity and delivery mechanics. Peter Schiff, CEO and Chief Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Asset Management, joins Jeremy Szafron to cut through the noise. Schiff questions whether the "technical issue" was a "coincidence" or a move meant to diffuse a deeper problem, suggesting the official explanation is "better than telling the truth". In this wide-ranging interview, Schiff breaks down the "math problem" facing Washington as the administration pledges to protect Social Security while proposing to replace income taxes with tariffs. He warns that failing to cut entitlements will lead to inflation that "reduces the value of those entitlements" regardless of the pledge. Schiff also explores the "killer use case" for gold: bypassing the legacy banking system. He explains how tokenized gold and India’s massive regulatory shift - allowing 35% flexibility for equity funds to allocate into metals - are fundamentally changing price discovery and removing counterparty risk.

In this deep dive, Jeremy Szafron, Senior Anchor at Kitco News, sits down with Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of U.S. Global Investors and HIVE Digital, to map out the capital rotation into hard physical assets and the industrialization of the AI revolution.

    The Banks Have ‘Lost Control’: $300 Silver, India’s Bid & the End of Western Pricing - Eric Sprott

    In this Kitco News exclusive, Senior Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with billionaire investor and Sprott Inc. founder Eric Sprott to break down the unprecedented breakout in the precious metals market. With gold establishing a new normal above $5,227 and silver surging past $92 an ounce, Sprott details why the physical short squeeze is unfolding in real time. We dive deep into the recent CME Globex technical interruption, the drain on Western physical inventories, and why Eastern markets are now fully dictating global price discovery. Sprott also reveals the strategy behind his aggressive capital deployment, including his massive low 40 percent ownership stake in Hycroft Mining, and his recent multimillion dollar sweeps across the junior mining sector with names like Rio Silver and Highlander Silver. From systemic risks mirroring 2008 to quantitative funds fleeing US equities for hard assets, this interview provides critical insights into the resource sector's historic rotation.

  5. Uranium Supply Gap Deepens as Nuclear Demand Rises | Scott Melbye

    Uranium Supply Gap Deepens as Nuclear Demand Rises | Scott Melbye

    A 50 million pound uranium deficit exists today, and Scott Melbye says it could expand dramatically in the years ahead as supply tightens and nuclear demand accelerates. Speaking with Kitco News at PDAC 2026, the Uranium Energy Corp Executive Vice President said, “The reality is we have a 50 million pound deficit in the near term, going to 1.7 billion pounds by 2045.” He argued that Western utilities are returning to long-term contracting after years of below-replacement buying, just as available supply narrows and new production remains years away. With uranium trading off its January 2026 high above $101 and the Russia ban fully kicking in at the end of 2027, market conditions are shifting. “That deficit has to show up, and it will eventually,” Melbye added. He also discussed US efforts to rebuild domestic uranium production through strategic reserves and faster permitting, as well as rising electricity demand from data centers and AI infrastructure that could accelerate nuclear expansion.

  6. Silver Collapses 10.5%: Forensic Autopsy of the $75 Flush with Robert Gottlieb

    Silver Collapses 10.5%: Forensic Autopsy of the $75 Flush with Robert Gottlieb

    Gold and silver were hit by a sharp liquidation, with silver plunging more than 10% intraday and gold falling nearly $150 before stabilizing. Jeremy Szafron speaks with former JP Morgan bullion desk executive Robert Gottlieb to break down what drove the move. Gottlieb argues the selloff was structural, not conspiratorial. With gold rising from $2,600 to around $5,000 and silver surging from $28 to above $70, volatility mechanically reduced allowable position size across banks and funds. “The allowable positions based on navar become significantly small,” he explains, as value-at-risk limits tightened and banks stepped back from warehousing risk. In a crowded, leveraged trade, “selling begets selling in a market like this.” His warning to traders: “You never catch a falling knife.” He also pushes back on manipulation claims, stating, “The banks are not short,” and emphasizes that central bank demand remains policy driven: “A central bank never makes a decision based on price. They make a decision based on policy.” Recorded February 12, 2026 Follow Jeremy Szafron on X: @JeremySzafron (https://x.com/JeremySzafron) Follow Kitco News on X: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://x.com/KitcoNewsNOW) 📘 Mastering Gold and Silver Markets (Released February 18, 2026): https://a.co/d/0auCvu7R 00:53 - Geopolitical Headlines, Dollar System Talk & Market Reaction 01:23 - Robert Gottlieb on the Silver 10.5% Collapse 02:22 - Algorithmic Trading, CTAs & Volatility Spikes 03:20 - Chinese New Year Liquidity & Pre-Holiday Selling 04:18 - VAR Limits: How Risk Models Shrink Positions 08:42 - COT Report: Managed Money & Swap Dealer Positioning 13:05 - CME Silver Withdrawals & Physical Market Flows 22:31 - Margin Increases & Volatility Amplification 24:19 - “Bull Markets Don’t Die From Corrections” 25:41 - Hedging, Leasing & How CME Futures Work 27:01 - Inside Mastering Gold and Silver Markets 31:07 - “Central Banks Buy on Policy, Not Price” 34:26 - Dollar Strength, Interest Rates & Gold 36:06 - Excess Leverage, Blind Consensus & Investor Mistakes 41:03 - “The Banks Are Not Short” Addressing Manipulation Claims #Silver #Gold #MarketVolatility #ForcedLiquidation #PreciousMetals __________________________________________________________________ Like, share, and subscribe to Kitco News—and turn on alerts to stay current with expert interviews, market insights, and breaking news coverage.  FOLLOW US:   X: https://x.com/kitconewsnow   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kitconews   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KitcoNews   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kitconews Visit: https://Kitco.com/ for live gold, silver, and crypto prices, the latest mining news, and macroeconomic insights.   Live gold price and chart: https://www.kitco.com/charts/gold Live silver price and chart: https://www.kitco.com/charts/silver Live crypto market data: https://www.kitco.com/price/crypto Learn more about Kitco News: https://www.kitco.com/news/about/  For more information on advertising, sponsorship and marketing promotions – please visit our online media kit at: https://www.kitco.com/advertising   Disclaimer: The videos are not intended to provide trading advice, and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Kitco Metals Inc.

    Silver is witnessing a profound structural shift as the physical market begins to exert dominance over paper pricing mechanisms. In this deep-dive interview, recorded on February 11, 2026, Jeremy Szafron, Anchor of Kitco News, sits down with David Morgan, publisher of The Morgan Report, to analyze the "plumbing" of the global silver market. Morgan breaks down the sustained $10 Shanghai premium, the impact of the CME’s margin hikes on COMEX volatility, and why the silver market is entering a "cash-only" phase. They also discuss the massive 40-million-ounce silver accumulation in India and why platinum is currently offering a rare 25-year value opportunity relative to silver.

    EXCLUSIVE: Texas Launches Gold Coins: More Than Just Commemorative?

    In this Kitco News exclusive, Jeremy Szafron sits down with Josh Phair, CEO of Scottsdale Mint, live from the Texas State Capitol to break down a historic shift in state level finance. Texas has officially launched its own state branded gold and silver bullion program, integrating physical metal directly into the state economy through a first of its kind dot gov storefront. Phair explains the mechanics of the new program, including the issuance of official Texas gold bills and commemorative coins tied directly to the Texas Bullion Depository. With gold pushing 5,100 dollars and silver at 83 dollars, this move marks a transition from passive storage to active state distribution. The interview also covers the impact of Basel Three regulations, which now classify physical gold as a 100 percent risk free asset, and how other states like Wyoming are positioning themselves in this new sovereign metals race.
