## Resource

Silver just delivered one of its most volatile weeks on record, surging decisively above $100 per ounce as physical demand overwhelmed paper pricing. The move confirms this rally is being driven by tight supply and real-world buying, not speculative leverage. Gold is right behind it, finishing the week just shy of $5,000 per ounce, underscoring the strength of the broader precious metals bull market. At the same time, a clear divergence is opening between the U.S. and Chinese silver markets, with China showing shrinking inventories and persistently higher premiums. Listen to get fully up to speed on the forces driving this historic metals bull run—and why global price discovery is increasingly shifting east.
