The Sun Shines Bright on Silver

Gold set multiple records last year while silver remained well below its all-time highs. This created the impression that silver underperformed even though it was up over 20 percent. But we’re starting to see some bullish sentiment for silver, even in the mainstream.

In fact, some people are projecting 2025 could be silver’s year to shine.

In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains why the supply and demand dynamics, along with technical indicators, justify this bullish sentiment.

Tariffying: Tariff Worries Create Possible Opportunity in Gold and Silver Markets

Worries about tariffs on importing gold and silver into the U.S. are creating a potential opportunity in the gold and silver markets.

As Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey explains, the movement of metal into the U.S. incentivized by tariff fears is depleting London vaults and setting up a potential squeeze. This has ramifications for the price of gold and silver. 

In this episode, Mike also points out some things investors should keep in mind as we move into the Trump era.

The Federal Reserve – Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has indicated interest rates probably need to stay higher for longer. President Donald Trump says we need deeper rate cuts now.

Who is right?
