Summary
China is quietly buying gold at one of its fastest paces in years, while India's physical silver bullion market is experiencing shortages so severe that local buyers are paying nearly $80 per ounce. At the same time, the Silver Institute expects 2026 to mark the sixth consecutive global silver supply deficit, driven by growing demand from AI, data centers, solar, and electric vehicles. Add renewed Middle East tensions into the mix, and it's easy to see why precious metals remain one of the most closely watched markets today. In this week's update, we break down what these trends could mean for the future of gold and silver prices, physical bullion demand, and global supply. Listen to the full market update to understand the forces shaping precious metals and why investors around the world are paying close attention.
