When analyzing precious metals markets, institutional traders' call option ratios (currently 62,266 calls vs 29,242 puts for silver) indicate strong bullish sentiment, suggesting that despite interest rate increases, supply and demand fundamentals and inflationary pressures are driving metal prices upward; this institutional positioning reflects expectations of persistent inflation from money printing, AI-driven job displacement reducing government revenues, and central banks quietly accumulating gold, making metals attractive investments for long-term wealth preservation.

5.23.26: Unusual FINDINGS in SILVER MARKET, CENTRAL BANKS buying GOLD + News UPDATE, PRAY!Added:
So when when you see activity in call options rising, what is that? What do the traders think, right? What are these institutions thinking? Higher silver prices, that's what they're thinking.
Increased volatility, that's what they're thinking. Or a larger market move. This is not just retail speculation.
>> Folks, we have a lot to get into with Dr. Kirk Elliot. uh especially with the silver markets, some strange things with central banks. But want to bring a short update on what has been going on with President Trump as he skipped his son's uh wedding headed back to DC. Wanted to show you this. He dropped this uh hours ago. While I was very much I very much wanted to be with my son Don Jr.
and the newest member of the Trump family, his soon-to-be wife Betatina.
Circumstances pertaining to government and my love for the United States of America do not allow me to do so. I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington DC at the White House during this important period of time.
Congratulations to Don and Patina, President Donald J. Trump. Now, interesting because he did get back uh President Trump rushed back to the White House cancelling uh his New Jersey plans.
Also, intelligence officials canled the Memorial Day plans. Something serious is brewing. Dance Cavino dropped some B2 uh video clips. One of those was a 17-second video you're seeing on your screen there. And uh we go to Q17. Why does Obama travel in advance of pus to foreign locations? Why is this relevant?
remember uh he just recently was over in Cuba as uh they brought the indictment to uh to Cuba. Remember that uh playing out. So it's kind of interesting the timing on that. Why is this relevant?
Focus on the power of POTUS as it relates to the Marines. And so another thing is we're going to see some connections here with Iran. It seems like something's brewing there. They're probably going to be uh going after them, dropping bombs once again. Maybe that's with the uh B2 bomber showing us that. How can uh military intelligence be applied to prosecute bad actors, avoid corrupt agencies and judges?
Biggest drop on poll. Above is the reason why the shields are sliding. In case you didn't know, shields log and send new info back to ASF for instruction. They use a fiveprong prepackaged injection. Common drive a post they all uh tap into. So another one here is the posting was at $2459. Imagine if the new acting attorney general now releases all previously blocked dock request by the house, including the Rod Rosenstein secondary class scope dock. Stealth bombers fly undetected. The red line months old 4 a.m. narrative should be updated. Remember that was a recording according to the media and how they dropped their information. The pain is coming. He also dropped a another B2 bomber video, Dan Kavino Jr. at 23:43 military time, an Nan's ready or the memes ready. He also posted Nessam Dorma's music with President Trump going into the White House. Average Joe Patriot put this out. Trust the plan was posted at a time 12:45.
Think SA Saudi Arabia order is important. You got uh SA to North Korea, North Korea to Armenia, Armenia to Iran.
Iran. Any other rogue nuclear states?
Define hostages. Define protection. Who is protected by rogue nuclear states?
Trust the plan. The world is connected.
Those who are the loudest. Where we go one, we go all. The great awakening Iron Eagle. And it appears that somebody went after President Trump's daughter.
Ivanka was a target. President Trump's daughter, Ivanka, was targeted in an assassination plot by an Iranian IRGC trained terrorist. It's from the New York Post. Muhammad Al-Sadi, an Iraq national who was recently caught by federal law enforcement, pledged to take out Ivanka and had a blueprint layout of her house in Florida. The plot was part of a revenge against Trump for the killing of General Solommani. A former deputy military atache told the ataché told the New York Post after Casim was killed. He al- Sadi went around telling people we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house. You can imagine that playing out, that information coming in, President Trump leaving the wedding, heading back to DC, the comms coming in that Iran's going to be dealt with. Pathfinder then showed us this as we had the standing ovation for Kevin Wsh brought into the Federal Reserve.
Right. Pathfinder said, "Notice this.
The 16 flags were in the room. Get your popcorn. Get the popcorn, folks. Q16 says this. Friday and Saturday are about to deliver on the MAGA promise.
President's cleaning house to free up real authority and push critical legislation. He's always been in full control. Sessays focused on the bigger mission. President is cleaning house with Kevin Worsh. And that leads us right into our interview touching on some of this today with Dr. Kirk Elliot.
What another amazing week we have had just one day after another. We wake up and there's more news on indictments. Uh let's see. Cuba's up on the radar now.
Um some folks that uh got away with fraud. Um not anymore in Minnesota. And boy, things are heating up in California. just uh just wow one thing after another am andow.com/gold in the description box below and you guys can reach out to Dr. Kirk Elliot and his team and they will work with you and pray with you also. Uh just an amazing company. We thank you for coming back.
>> Well, it's so great to be back and all the news that you just mentioned plus about dozens of other stories. It's like welcome to the clown show.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean this is so crazy. Although you've called it for a long time, we expect this to happen is you start to dismantle the apparatus, you're going to have a clown show.
>> That's right.
>> And but you know, so one of the clown show things that I'm kind of seeing is is this whole experiment with the Fed, right? It's like, so we we've all know what Trump is doing behind the scenes, right? and and you know the things that he said, the things that he's doing >> simply kind of preconditioning us um that that that is irrelevant.
>> That's right.
>> Right. I mean, and we're going to go back to real money at some point. Right.
So, but here we are right now. We're not at that point yet. And this is where it's a clown show. So, Kevin Worsh goes in. Here's here's where I I just want to say I don't know what I don't know, right? Trump knows a lot more than than we do. But, you know, before Worse goes in, he says, you know, he's completely on Trump's page, right? And it's like, okay, we're going to lower interest rates. We're going to stimulate the domestic economy. Three days after he goes in, it's like, well, actually, maybe rates higher for longer. It's like, what is this opposite now? Is this part of Trump's plan to make the Fed look um irrelevant? Mhm.
>> Um but but what's this going to do the to the domestic economy, right? Because this is where I want to bring some sense of peace to the whole situation here because normally when interest rates go up with with wars saying, you know, rates higher for longer, gold and silver would come down. So it's like it is not going to like we talked about last week, commodity prices rising across the board because inflation is having a a larger weight on the scale than interest rates are. Supply and demand always is going to hold true, right? So so as we kind of look at at what's going on, this is just going to bring volatility, right? And volatility is good for us who are allocating into metals right now because it's making the consolidation last a little bit longer. Which means fundamentally, did the trend change?
Nope. Still the same as it was before the Iran conflict started. Still the same as it was before the consolidation time that we've had over the last few months.
>> Right?
>> So it'll resume, right? So this is this is the exciting part. It's going to resume. So, what this is happening, it's almost like God's just giving us a little bit longer time to allocate into lower prices before they do go up, right? Because >> here's what I want to want to talk about is is we talk a lot, you and I, LT, about >> the fundamentals of the markets and what causes gold and silver to move or what causes stocks and bonds to move, right?
And then we see the charts and that's just a reflection of the fundamental forces. Well, one thing that we don't talk about very often, which I do want to talk about is is today is is the futures market, the papers market in in silver in particular.
>> Okay.
>> So, so the futures market, who invests in futures? It's not necessarily people like you and me. It's going to be big people, right? It's going to be hedge funds. It's going to be institutional traders. It's going to be volatility desks. Um large speculators, banks, right? So that's who generally invest in futures markets. So >> when you look at the options on SLV, there's a call and a put. So a call means you would expect the price of silver to go up. A put option means you expect it to go down. Well, what's the ratio right now today as we record this?
The ratio is 62,266 contracts that are call options. These institutional traders, these hedge funds, these speculators, these volatility desks think that the price of silver is going to go up. 29,242, so less than half, think that silver is going to go down. M >> it's like interesting because what we started with right when when interest rates go up it generally causes gold and silver to come down >> right >> here's where we have Kevin War saying higher rates higher for longer and yet more than double the amount of institutional traders hedge funds volatility dexter saying no silver's going to go higher >> this is where why I say who cares what the interest rate noises, right? Just because that's been kind of the norm in the past, we're living in in a new normal, which is purely supply and demand, manufacturing.
Things need silver, right? And so those inflationary pressures are outweighing the interest rates, right? So, >> so here's where you look at you look at this. And so we have to ask ourselves and I want to just give like a little little lesson here.
So when when you see activity and call options rising, what is that? What do the traders think, right? What are these institutions thinking? Higher silver prices, that's what they're thinking.
Increased volatility, that's what they're thinking. Or a larger market move. This is not just retail speculation.
>> Okay? And so so they're all thinking exactly what you and I have been talking about.
Now the futures markets are confirming what we've been talking about on the physical side. Right? So this is this is pretty interesting. So these these options which are usually like um 30 60day contracts you know what is the massive amount of them in the the majority is in anywhere from 80 to $84 calls.
>> Okay.
>> What's silver at right now? It's in the upper 70s. So they're thinking it's going to go up a decent amount over the next month or so. Okay.
>> I think it's going to go up much higher than that. As soon as the Iran conflict is over, boom, it's probably triple digits within a month, right? So, so here's where the inflationary pressures, this is what I want to focus on, the inflationary pressures that are causing this move, what causes inflation really, it's printing of money. It's what causes inflation around the globe.
>> Well, how much money are they going to have to print globally to keep the economy stimulated? A lot is the answer.
Because after the Japanese yen carry trade went to oblivion because the Japanese yen interest rates are soaring, >> right?
>> Like is anybody else going to actually take that on? Well, nobody wants to be the carrying trade for the world because they can't because there's too much debt. You have to have 0% interest rates for that to happen or close to. Well, what are yields in America doing right now? Yields are now over 5%. It's the highest they've been since 2007.
See, the bond market is toast.
Bond market's toast because interest rates stay up there, >> the value of bonds comes down.
>> Okay?
>> So, all these insurance companies and pension funds, they're going to have to ultimately liquidate their bonds at lower prices because interest rates are higher. that that's just how the mechanics of it. So if the bond market's toast, ultimately that's going to impact the stock market because there's going to be flight capital out of things that are coming down. And what is going to cause the stock market to come down?
Well, let's look at this little story of um it's a polling of CEOs. So earlier this week there was there was a polling of CEOs on they are not going to be hiring entry-level employees so much anymore.
73% of CEOs pled said, "Yeah, we're going to we're going to put a halt. We're putting the brakes on hiring any new entry-level employees." Why?
>> Because of AI.
>> Oh boy.
>> I mean, this is what Elon Musk said a year to a year and a half ago that we talked about. It's like society is not ready for AI because it's going to displace jobs. And and even back then, I remember the show that we did like it was yesterday because the the the research behind it said within a decade 50% of jobs in Europe would be replaced by computers. Onethird of jobs in America would be replaced by computers.
We thought this is massive. This is huge, right? And is this real? Well, I I mean what I do, I do research every single day, right? And >> and I had to put together this report, charts and graphs, pull some data in, make it look nice. Um, normally what I was doing would take me two to three weeks.
>> Mhm.
>> Anthropics clawed. I just typed in what I wanted in about 3 minutes. And you know what? 10 minutes later, spit out exactly what I wanted. A perfectly formatted report. It looked nice. It was amazing. Had a lot of good, valid research in it. 10 minutes, which would have normally taken me weeks. So, somebody like me, it's like, wow, this just increased my productivity a ton.
>> Right. That's right.
>> What did it not increase? The potential for jobs, right? Because if Anthropics Claude could do this for me and make me more productive, you actually don't need people, >> right? So, so this is where my brain starts going. It's like, no wonder CEOs are saying, "We're not going to hire entry-level jobs. We're only going to hire experienced workers moving forward."
>> Hey, what's this domino effect? How do you get experience if you're not being hired in the first place?
>> That's right. Exactly.
>> Do you see where this is going? Right.
So, as the economy shuts down and consider the ramifications of this, you don't have to pay a computer. So therefore, there's no income taxes that are going to be made by the government.
There's no sales tax revenue because computers not going to get up from the desk at the end of the day, go to the coffee shop, go out to eat, and go to Best Buy to buy something on the way home. They don't make money. They're computers, right? So, so government revenues are going to be squashed now.
They're going to have to print their way out of it. This is where inflation is going to persist because the uncarry trade is over. Yields are already high in America, highest point since 2007.
Countries are going to be forced to print. This is where I think these traders that are putting call options on silver are saying this inflation is going to persist, right? And money as we know it, you're going to have to start looking at it differently. Maybe this is the catalyst for change that makes the Fed irrelevant, right? Is is these inflationary pressures, all of this stuff, governments aren't going to have enough money and and why Trump over the years has been saying, "Oh, let's let's get rid of the IRS, right? Let's lower taxes. Let's get rid of taxes for people that make less than $200,000 a year.
Let's the Fed is irrelevant." Blah, blah, blah. Right? Maybe this is all part of the plan, right? But but what we what all we know right now is that this is happening right underneath our nose >> and government revenues are going to get squeezed hard because of AI.
>> Well, >> so that's the trend, right? So what does AI use? Silver >> in the AI cryptocurrency mining uses silver.
one of the stories I read this week which tells me kind of what the next technology trend is going to be. So in 2000 it was the internet. It was tech stocks, right?
>> And then 10 years ago crypto started. Well then maybe five or so years ago it was AI chips. What's going to be the next technology move? Here's my prediction.
Quantum computing, right? It's something even faster and >> possibly more beneficial or possibly way more scary >> than even AI chips, right?
>> Because truly a a quantum computer could probably crack the cryptologology behind Bitcoin, right? It's like, oh boy, like this problem. But this is where we're going. Well, what company is kind of leading the charge with quantum computing? It's it's IBM, right? So now other companies are going to try to get onto the quantum computing train. That's probably the next trend in AI. What does that need? Silver and a lot of it for these really fast chips that need it, right? So So here's where I I'm looking at this trend and what's going on globally and something big and unusual is starting to happen in silver. And I don't see the demand decreasing for the second most valuable commodity on earth. Oil is number one and silver is number two.
>> Right? So, so now what what else is happening in the metals markets, right? So, central banks are buying and have resumed a lot of buying of gold under the radar. Oh, >> it's not being reported, right? So, so here's where you know according to some big bullion banks, right? So, Goldman Sachs, they they talking about, wait a second, LBMA is being bled dry of gold.
>> And but where's it going? It's not on the books. But you should be able to see if it's if inventory is leaving and and the inventory is being bled dry. Where is it going? You should be able to see who the counterparty is. They're not. So that's got to be central bank gold demand is materially stronger than previously thought, right? So they're possibly buying it over the counter OTC markets, which doesn't necessarily go through normal channels, right? So, so this is really interesting because maybe, you know, we've we've heard stories that, oh, China's not buying gold. Maybe that's all a bunch of hogwash.
>> I think that they're still buying it.
Why would the inventories be coming down, right? And where is it going? You know, if you're selling to a normal bank, that that can't really be hidden.
The only thing that can really be hidden is like sovereign governments and central banks buying it under the radar.
So, here's where we start looking at these trends and it really excites me >> because we're in the right place at the right time. LT, >> that's right. That's right.
>> Taking advantage of these trends and trying ever so diligently um to listen to the things that you're talking about, which does what? It reduces the noise that's clouding our judgment. That's >> right.
>> Let's focus on truth. Focus on when when the world doesn't make sense. God always makes sense. And just sift through that noise. Sip through the madness and try to understand what's going on. Right.
And I look at this, it's like this is becoming more crystal clear every single day.
>> Yeah. And when whenever I I notice uh you know the trends moving around uh up and down whatever when you say volatility I mean we we've seen silver uh just in the past few months you know um drop down to like 60s something and then it went back up to 70 and then 80 and back to 70 and so you're you're saying you expect it to shoot up after Iran and and what's the reasoning behind that again real quick? So the reason why because metals usually come down in price when interest rates go up.
>> Okay.
>> So the inflationary pressures that are coming from the supply chain disruptions in oil and the high price of oil at over $106 a barrel. Um you know the the general kind of mainstream media financial news thought is hm this highriced oil is going to cause interest rates to go up so they can tame this inflation beast.
Right? So, so therefore metals come down because there's something that has higher yield that does better.
>> Now, now as soon as the Iran conflict is over, what starts to happen? It's not in reality. It's more in perception because it's going to take a while to unwind the backlog in the straight of Hormuz.
>> Yeah.
>> Perception is going to be okay, this is over and so the price of oil is going to start coming down.
>> Right. the supply chains are going to start opening up so the oil that's sitting there and all these big tankers can actually get to the rest of the world. Right. So, >> right.
>> So, I mean the reality is it's a perception thing, not necessarily a reality thing for a while because the moment the conflict started, what happened to gas prices in California?
They shoot up. It's like, well, they've got oil sitting and gas sitting in at the refineries and they probably have forward contracts on it. They they've locked in their price for the next 90 days.
>> Mhm.
>> A one-day move is it's a perception thing and they use that to gouge a little bit, right? Because it their inventory didn't change. They still have forward pricing, but these these that's why it's more perception than it is reality sometimes. But ultimately it I'm not saying that that the oil in the tankers is going to get where it needs to go. The fertilizer the fertilizer is a bigger issue >> getting to the world because it's growing season and it's going to take a while for it to get there. So this is where I see food come. The moment that this is over, perception is going to be prices can come down. Inflationary pressures are easing off and that's when gold and silver I think will actually rise a lot and and quickly.
>> Yeah, that makes sense more on the side of when President Trump the other day was on the tarmac um right next to the plane and they asked him about the future and again he kind of talked about Iran. and he goes, "Yeah, when it runs over," he goes, "You wait the next 3 years after that, you're going to see America things happen in America that are going to be so amazing. Um, you won't even be able to to really understand it." In a sense, that's what in a nutshell how he was talking. And so, he brings that up a lot too about, you know, after Iran, wait till you see what happens in America. So, it's just amazing how how you guys catch on to all all of this and how you see it. and uh we we have a hard time understanding but boy thanks to you we we can kind of get a a better grasping on these things and we man we really appreciate it. Um you guys are great amwino.com/gold that's uh below this video just click on that link folks you can hang out with Dr. Kirk Elliott and his team and uh they'll work with you and get your IRA over get away from that fiat currency and bring it to precious metals. It'll be a lifecher for many. So thank you so much for this update. We really appreciate it. Yeah, it's my pleasure.
We'll talk to you soon.
