🚨 HEADLINE :🥈 SILVER ATH - $85 - WHY PEOPLE BUYING INSURANCE AGAINST EVERYTHING COLLAPSING
🥈Silver just broke $85/oz for the first time ever, up 19% in twelve days. It was $29 in January 2025. Now it's $85. That's a 180% gain in one year while the S&P barely moved.
This seems like panic buying disguised as diversification. Its known that when silver moves this fast, institutions are hedging against currency collapse rather than hunting for returns.
Fed cutting rates with inflation still hot, Iran potentially closing the Strait of Hormuz, $700M smuggled out of Minneapolis, Trump threatening strikes everywhere, and gold at $4,500 pricing out regular investors.
Silver is known to traders as the poor man's apocalypse hedge.
Industrial demand's real too - solar panels, electronics, medical devices all need silver. But that explains maybe 20% of this move.
The other 80% is "what if the dollar breaks?"
If you compare this to 2008-2011 where : silver went from $10 to $50 , the period when trust in the financial system collapsed.
The patterns are very similar, just faster in this case. Markets are pricing in systemic risk for which stock indexes are ignoring.
🥇↔️🥈 Gold-to-silver ratio sitting at 56:1.
Historical average is 65:1.
Signaling that silver is even outperforming Gold, which is rare.
Experts even say, "it only happens when people think the industry is either about to boom or everything's about to burn"
