Silver Shortage: Is This the Start of Silver’s Biggest Rally Ever? | Josh Phair CEO Scottsdale Mint

In this explosive episode of Ask the Experts, Craig Hemke for Sprott Money is joined by Josh Phair, CEO of Scottsdale Mint, to dissect the incredible moves in the silver and gold markets this October.

Josh explains the “metal war” now underway — with global buyers outnumbering sellers and supply chains under strain from London to the COMEX. They discuss why silver shortages, refinery backlogs, and high lease rates are shaking the system, and how central banks, BRICS nations, and industrial demand are driving the momentum of both gold and silver prices. Whether you’re looking to buy gold, buy silver, or just understand what’s happening in the physical metals market, this podcast delivers critical insight.

In this episode of the Ask Andrew Podcast, Andrew Sleigh joins Kellen Ainey to discuss Société Générale’s gold price forecast, China’s hidden gold reserves, Canada’s lack of bullion holdings, and how tariffs, BRICS, and hyperinflation could shape the future of global currencies. From why banks downplay gold’s real value to how the U.S. dollar could face its biggest test yet, Andrew breaks down the risks and opportunities every investor should know about.

The Federal Reserve just cut interest rates—and gold is already above $3,500 while silver has broken past $40. In this episode of the Ask Andrew Podcast, Andrew Sleigh explains why gold and silver are poised for massive long-term gains as fiat currencies collapse, central banks buy aggressively, and bullion banks lose control.

In this episode of "Ask the Expert" from Sprott Money, host Craig Hemke sits down with returning guest Alasdair MacLeod, former head of research at Goldmoney, to break down the alarming direction of global monetary policy. Alasdair explains why the real issue isn’t the rising price of gold, but the collapsing purchasing power of fiat currencies, especially the U.S. dollar.

Gold price is moving, and you’re not late. In this episode, we break down why the rally has real footing, clean breakout structure, supportive seasonality, and miners leading the charge. Chris Vermeulen joins Craig to unpack what’s driving flows into precious metals right now, how to read the trend without chasing, and why “keep stacking” is more than a slogan when currencies are losing purchasing power.

In this Monthly Wrap-Up, Craig Hemke sits down with Dr. Nomi Prins to decode the evolving Fed–Treasury dynamic, potential rate cuts and backdoor QE, and what it all means for gold, silver, copper, uranium, rare earths, and junior miners heading into September. You’ll learn why policy shifts: Fed–Treasury “fusion,” appointments, and legal challenges—could be bullish for gold and silver; the realistic path to $5K gold and how a +50% surge can happen from here; the silver breakout setup near its 2011 high and the industrial kicker; why silver and copper landing on the U.S. critical minerals list matters for defense, AI, and energy; how uranium fast-tracking and rare earths factor into the commodity super-cycle; and how yield-curve talk, front-end cuts, and long-end moves ripple through metals.

Central banks just bought 166 tons of gold in Q2 2025 — a 41% surge above average. What do they know that the rest of us don’t? In this episode of the Ask Andrew podcast, Andrew Sleigh explains why gold is the ultimate safe haven, why silver is running out, and what history teaches us about protecting wealth during currency collapse.

Is the U.S. already in a recession? Former Federal Reserve insider Danielle DiMartino Booth says net job destruction began in Q2 2024, meaning the economy has been contracting for over a year despite what the Fed is telling you. In this Ask the Expert episode, Danielle joins Craig Hemke to reveal the truth about the labor market, the 24 downward payroll revisions in the last 30 months, and the real headcount data that points to ongoing economic weakness. She discusses the political pressure on Jerome Powell, the growing calls for a 50 basis point rate cut in September 2025, and why dissent at the FOMC is at historic highs. Danielle also warns about the dangers of increased Fed–Treasury cooperation, the risk of hyperinflation, potential threats to the U.S. dollar, and the possibility of market turmoil if retirees are forced to liquidate stocks. Most importantly for investors, she shares why these conditions are bullish for gold in a time of economic and political uncertainty.
