Is The Silver Bull Finally Here?

With silver classically lagging behind gold during the yellow metal’s stunning recent rise, Peter Schiff believes the long-anticipated bull market for silver is finally here in earnest. And in a bull market, silver tends to outperform gold - once it finally catches up.

We have covered Silver’s recent run extensively:

But, anyone watching the gold-silver ratio this year can clearly see that a breakout was coming for gold’s closest companion. As May turned to June, the market heated up and silver rocketed upward.

One very interesting aspect of this very recent surge in silver (relative to gold) is that it has coincided with a very heavy period of drawdown for hedge funds as momentum trades have underperformed and most-shorted stocks have soared…

…making us wonder if hedgies are selling gold to fund margin (or was silver just aggressively shorted and this drawdown in stocks is forcing more degrossing – of those shorts)?

The gold-silver ratio, which had stubbornly hovered above 80:1 for much of the past year…

…soared up to a record 105:1 after Liberation Day…

But has since started to collapse back – a clear signal that silver was catching up.

Silver is finally stepping out of gold’s shadow, and the reasons are as fundamental as they are undeniable.

As Schiff continues to explain, silver’s unique dual role as both a monetary metal and an industrial commodity makes it a powerhouse in today’s economy, especially with the never ending obsession with green energy. From solar panels to typical electronics and medical applications, demand has been quietly surging. Last year, industrial silver demand hit a new record when it surpassed 680 million ounces, following three straight previous years of records. 

Global silver consumption for solar alone is projected to hit new highs, with 85% of silver paste demand going straight to solar panel production. The newer N-type solar panels, which now dominate the market, are more efficient and stable than P-type panels—and they require more silver to produce, not less. 

Meanwhile, mine production is flatlining. The world’s top silver-producing countries, like Mexico and Peru, are struggling with declining ore grades and regulatory headaches. Total global mine output in 2024 barely crept above 800 million ounces, while demand is pushing toward 1.2 billion. You don’t need a PhD in economics to see the squeeze coming.

The U.S. dollar, once the world’s unassailable reserve currency, is losing its grip as BRICS nations push for USD alternatives and central banks hoard gold at record rates. Silver, the more volatile cousin, can benefit disproportionately when trust in paper money collapses. Investors are waking up to the reality that silver, at under $40 an ounce, is still absurdly undervalued compared to gold’s $3,400 price tag. Historically, the gold-silver ratio has averaged closer to 50:1 or lower in bull markets. If that holds, silver could easily reach $50 an ounce before gold moves higher.

And don’t forget, you need silver for missiles…

But don’t expect the mainstream media or Wall Street to cheer this on. The financial establishment loves to dismiss silver as “speculative” while peddling overpriced tech stocks and government bonds yielding negative real returns. They’ll tell you inflation is “under control” while conveniently ignoring that real-world costs—housing, energy, groceries—are rising much faster. The CPI is a rigged game, and savers are losing. Silver, unlike manipulated paper assets, is a hard asset that can’t be printed or devalued by central bankers. That’s why the smart money—central bankers, hedge funds, family offices, even retail investors—are piling in.

The silver breakout we’re seeing now was telegraphed months ago. Technical traders could have anticipated patterns signaling a major move, and the fundamentals back it up. Add in the geopolitical chaos—trade wars, sanctions, and debt crises—and it’s no surprise that safe-haven demand for precious metals is spiking. Silver’s volatility makes it a wild ride, but that’s exactly why the upside is so explosive.

The U.S. economy is a house of cards built on debt and delusion. The national debt is now $36 trillion, with interest payments alone eating up $1 trillion annually. The Fed can’t raise rates without crashing the system, and they can’t cut rates without igniting more inflation. It’s a trap, and silver is the escape hatch. Gold is an enduring store of value, but silver’s industrial demand gives it an extra kicker. As green energy and tech sectors grow, silver’s necessity only increases.

So, what’s next? If the gold-silver ratio continues to compress, silver could hit $40 or higher by year-end, with $50 not far behind. The silver market is waking up, and the window to buy silver at these levels is closing fast. Don’t wait for CNBC to tell you it’s time to buy. By then, the train will have left the station. 

Stack physical silver. Central bank balance sheets will remain bloated, the fiat system is crumbling, and silver’s breakout is just the beginning.
