Schectman explains why Singapore’s new physically deliverable silver contract and Hong Kong’s expanding gold clearing system may represent far more than just regional competition. He argues that the world is witnessing the construction of an entirely new financial architecture centered around physical delivery, BRICS payment rails, gold settlement systems, and declining trust in Western exchanges like COMEX and the LBMA. In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori: - Why Andy Schectman says “the price of gold in the West is not real” - Singapore’s new silver exchange and why physical delivery matters - How Hong Kong is building an alternative gold clearing system - Why BRICS infrastructure could challenge Western financial dominance - The growing divergence between paper metals and physical metals - What happens if COMEX and LBMA lose credibility - Why China’s commodity strategy matters for gold and silver investors - How tokenized gold and blockchain settlement systems may reshape markets - The risks of a bifurcated global financial system 👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay Informed Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.
