In this interview, precious metals expert Rob Kientz breaks down what’s really happening in the silver and gold markets as prices, supply, and global power dynamics shift rapidly. We discuss why paper prices no longer reflect physical reality, how shortages, rising premiums, and export controls are changing the market, and why price discovery may be moving away from traditional Western exchanges. From silver’s growing industrial importance to gold’s return as a monetary anchor, this conversation explores the real forces shaping precious metals—and what investors should understand as the world moves toward regional markets and a new monetary era.
