How do you read this week’s action for gold prices? Once again, we saw a new all-time high for gold, this time getting over $3,500, a number unheard-of only a year or two ago. But all the volatility with on-again, off-again tariffs and the ever-changing mind of President Trump sparked the spike, then a scary reversal.

The official numbers are in, and industrial demand for silver set a fourth consecutive record in 2024.
Despite record industrial offtake, total silver demand declined by 3 percent to 1.16 billion ounces last year, primarily due to weak investment demand, according to the World Silver Survey 2025 published by the Silver Institute.
Even with the slight decline, demand outstripped the silver supply for the fourth consecutive year. The structural market deficit came in at 148.9 million ounces.

The gold-silver ratio is trading near its all-time high of 125 reached on Jan 1, 2020. As of this writing, it now takes 102 ounces of silver to equal the value of one ounce of gold. The historical average is around 60.
To find the ratio, simply divide the price of gold, currently at $3,020 an ounce, by the current silver price of $29.33.
Historically, when the ratio is this high, silver tends to outperform gold in the following months.

Copper broke out to a new all-time high yesterday, signaling the start of a powerful bull market—one that’s likely to unfold as part of a broader, long-term commodities supercycle.
Of course, I’ve been bullish on copper for several months. My view was that copper would emerge from its late 2024 slump and begin a long-term bull market.
At the time of my initial call, copper was struggling to hold the $4.00 per pound level.

Anyone who’s followed me—or invested in precious metals long enough—knows that silver is one of the most heavily suppressed assets on the planet.
