A Make-Or-Break Turning Point for Silver Feat. Dave Kranzler

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire and Dave Kranzler examine the accelerating shift in precious metals pricing power towards the East, set against mounting pressures from debt, currency debasement and tightening physical supply.

The two experts highlight silver’s strong long-term potential, note the rising strain on Western institutions holding large short positions and emphasise the importance of specialised research when navigating mining equities in a turbulent market.
