Huge Silver News From the Fed! If You Own Gold & Silver, Watch This Now Peter Schiff

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Silver just broke $115 an ounce and most people still don't get it. While the mainstream media is talking about stocks and crypto, the real money, the smart money, is quietly moving into silver and gold. And if you're not paying attention right now, you are going to miss one of the biggest wealth transfers in modern history. Stay with me because what I'm about to show you today will change the way you look at your money forever.

And if you're a returning member of our Gold Rush community, welcome back. You already know we don't waste time. Let's get straight into it. Let me ask you something simple. One year ago, silver was sitting around $30 an ounce. $30.

[00:01:09]And honestly, that price made no sense.

[00:01:11]Not from a supply standpoint, not from a demand standpoint, and definitely not from a historical standpoint. Think about it. Central banks around the world were aggressively buying gold.

[00:01:22]Industrial demand for silver was climbing every single quarter, driven by solar panels, electric vehicles, semiconductors, and defense technology.

[00:01:31]Meanwhile, new silver supply from mining was shrinking. The fundamentals were screaming by silver. But the price stayed suppressed artificially low and a lot of investors got frustrated. They felt the market was being manipulated.

[00:01:44]And honestly, they weren't wrong. But here's what I told my clients during that entire period. Don't get angry. Get smart. If the price is being artificially pushed down, that is not a threat. That is an opportunity. You load up. You stack physical. You be patient.

[00:02:00]And now look where we are. Silver has crossed $115 an ounce. The market is finally waking up. It is repricing silver, trying to find where it actually belongs based on real supply, real demand, and real economic conditions.

[00:02:15]This is not a spike. This is not a bubble. This is a correction. A massive long overdue correction of years of artificial suppression. And the most important thing I want you to understand today is this. We are not at the top. We are at the beginning. The fundamentals have not changed. If anything, they have gotten stronger. And the global economic environment right now is creating the perfect storm for precious metals. In the next parts of today's analysis, we are going to break down exactly what is driving this move, gold's road to $20,000, the dollar collapse, who is buying, the supply crisis in silver, and what the Trump factor means for your portfolio. So, don't go anywhere. All right. So, now you understand what's happening with silver. But here's the bigger picture question. If silver is at $115 today, where is gold going? And more importantly, why does it matter for you? Let me give you the analyst's view.

[00:03:09]Clean, clear, no sugar coating. Now, I want to talk about a number that a lot of people laughed at just a few years ago. $20,000 per ounce of gold. $20,000.

[00:03:19]When veteran economist and longtime gold advocate Peter Schiff first started throwing this number around, people called him crazy. They called him dramatic. They said he was just trying to sell gold. But let me ask you something. When gold was at $1,000 and shift said it was going to $5,000, did people believe him? No. They laughed.

[00:03:40]And then gold went to $3,000 and kept climbing. So before you dismiss $20,000 gold, I want you to sit with that thought for a moment because the same people who laughed at $5,000 gold are now very quietly not laughing anymore.

[00:03:54]Here is the analytical case and I want you to follow this carefully. Gold does not rise in a vacuum. Let me repeat that because it is critical. Gold does not rise in a vacuum. When gold moves to extreme levels, it is not just gold doing something unusual. It is the entire economic environment shifting underneath us. It is a signal, a warning, a measurement of how badly the currency is losing its value. So when Schiff says $20,000 gold, he is not just talking about gold going up. He is talking about a world where the US dollar has lost enormous purchasing power. A world where inflation is not 4% or 6% but running dangerously hot. A world where the faith people have in paper money, in fiat currencies is breaking down at a fundamental level.

[00:04:38]That is the world that produces $20,000 gold. And honestly, when you look at where we are right now, does that world sound far-fetched to you? Schiff has suggested that $20,000 gold could realistically happen within the next 5 years. Now, as an analyst, let me give you my honest take. 5 years is aggressive, but it is not impossible.

[00:04:59]Here is why. 10 years ago, SHIF's original gold price target was $5,000.

[00:05:04]At that time, that number seemed enormous. But here is what happened between then and now. Governments around the world printed money at a scale never seen before in human history. COVID relief packages, stimulus checks, quantitative easing, bailouts, trillions and trillions of dollars created out of thin air, and every single dollar printed quietly stole value from the dollars already in your pocket. So Schiff had to revise his target upward.

[00:05:31]Not because he was wrong, but because the currency debasement went far deeper and lasted far longer than even he originally predicted. That is actually a critical point. The original $5,000 target was not wrong. the problem got worse and now that same logic, that same monetary math points toward $20,000.

[00:05:50]Now, here is where it gets really interesting for us as silver and gold analysts because gold and silver do not move independently. They are connected.

[00:05:58]Historically, silver follows gold, but silver moves faster, silver moves harder. Right now, with gold already on a powerful upward trajectory, the question for silver is not if it goes higher, the question is how high. Schiff himself has pointed out that the market is still trying to figure out the right price for silver. Is it $150? Is it $200? Honestly, at this stage of the repricing, nobody knows the exact number. But what we do know as analysts is that the direction is clear up significantly and for a sustained period of time. I want to pause here and ask you something directly. Do you currently hold any physical gold or silver? Drop a yes or no in the comments right now because your answer is going to determine how the next part of this analysis applies to you personally.

[00:06:43]Whether you're already stacking or you're just getting started, what I'm going to cover next is going to be critical because we are now going to talk about the real engine behind this entire move. The thing that is going to push gold to $20,000 and silver well beyond $150. And that engine is the collapse of the US dollar. Stay with me.

[00:07:02]So now you understand the $20,000 gold prediction. You understand why Shiff is saying it? And you understand that silver is directly connected to that move. But now the real question is what is actually causing all of this. What is the engine underneath this entire precious metals rally? Because if you understand the root cause, you will never panic sell. You will never second guess your position. You will hold with confidence. So let me break it down for you simply clearly. As an analyst, let's start with the most important chart in the world right now. Not the gold chart, not the silver chart, the US dollar. The dollar has been the world's reserve currency for decades. Every country on earth holds dollars. Every major commodity, oil, wheat, copper, is priced in dollars. The entire global financial system was built around the assumption that the US dollar is strong, stable, and trustworthy. But here is the problem. That trust is breaking down.

[00:07:58]And it is not breaking down slowly. It is accelerating. When a government prints trillions of dollars out of thin air, as the United States has done repeatedly over the last two decades, every dollar in existence becomes worth a little less. Think of it like this.

[00:08:11]Imagine you have a pizza, eight slices.

[00:08:13]Each slice has real value. Now, imagine someone secretly adds four more slices, but the pizza stays the same size. Every original slice just got smaller. That is exactly what happens when governments print money. Your dollars, the ones sitting in your bank account, your savings, your retirement fund, they are getting smaller quietly every single day. That is inflation. And that is what is driving gold and silver higher. Now, let me give you some perspective on how serious this actually is. Since the year 2000, the US money supply has expanded by over 900%. 900%. In plain English, there is roughly 10 times more money in circulation today than there was 25 years ago. But did the economy grow 10 times? Did your salary grow 10 times?

[00:08:58]Did the value of real goods and services grow 10 times? Absolutely not. So what happened to all that extra money? It went somewhere. And where it went is into the price of everything around you.

[00:09:09]Your groceries, your rent, your gas, your insurance. Everything is more expensive because the dollar is worth less. And gold and silver, they are simply measuring that loss. They are the honest mirror that the dollar does not want you to look at. Here is something very important that most retail investors completely miss. Gold and silver are not rising alone. Look at copper. Copper is pushing towards $6 per pound. That is not a coincidence. Look at wheat. Look at oil. Look at agricultural commodities across the board. Everything is going up and that is the key signal. When a commodities rise together, that is not a supply problem in any one sector. That is a currency problem. That is the dollar losing purchasing power across the entire economy. Peter Schiff has been very clear about this point. Gold at $20,000 will not exist in a world where everything else stays the same. In that world, copper will be dramatically higher. Wheat will be dramatically higher. Oil will be dramatically higher.

[00:10:09]It will be a world of significantly higher prices across every sector of the economy. And in that world, the people who held paper assets, cash savings, and bonds, they will have lost enormous amounts of real wealth. But the people who held physical gold, physical silver, and quality mining stocks, they will have protected themselves. And in many cases, they will have come out significantly ahead. Now, as an analyst, I want to draw your attention to something historical. This is not the first time in history that a major currency has been debased. It happened in Rome. It happened in VHimar, Germany.

[00:10:41]It happened in Zimbabwe. It happened in Venezuela. Every single time without exception, the pattern is the same.

[00:10:48]Government overspends. Government prints money to cover the gap. Currency loses value. Prices rise. People lose faith.

[00:10:56]Hard assets, gold, silver, land, commodities. They surge in value as people desperately seek protection. We are not at the end of that cycle right now. We are in the middle of it. And the people who recognize where we are in this cycle and position themselves accordingly are the ones who come out on the other side with their wealth intact.

[00:11:14]Let me ask you a direct question right now. Are you still holding most of your savings in cash or in the bank? If your answer is yes, I want you to think very carefully about what we just covered because cash in the bank during a dollar collapse is not safety. It is a slow loss. Drop your thoughts in the comments. I read every single one. Tell me are you worried about inflation right now? What steps have you taken to protect yourself? Because in the next part we are going to talk about something that is going to completely change the demand picture for gold and silver forever. The institutions are coming. Pension funds, endowments, mutual funds, investors who have never touched precious metals before in their careers. And when that wall of money hits this tiny market, everything changes. Stay right there. So now you understand the dollar problem. You understand inflation. You understand currency debasement. You understand why commodities across the board are rising together. But here is the question that every serious investor needs to ask right now. Who is actually buying gold and silver at these levels? Because understanding who each O is buying tells you everything about how much further this move can go. And what I am about to share with you is frankly one of the most exciting and powerful developments I have seen in precious metals markets in a very long time. Let's start at the top. Central banks around the world have been buying gold aggressively for several years now. China, Russia, India, Turkey, Poland, and many others. These are not small purchases. These are massive strategic acquisitions.

[00:12:44]Countries that once held their reserves in US dollars and US Treasury bonds are now quietly shifting those reserves into gold. And ask yourself, why would a central bank sell dollars to buy gold?

[00:12:55]Because they see what is coming. Central banks have entire teams of economists.

[00:12:59]the smartest financial minds in the world access to data that you and I will never see and they are buying gold. That tells you everything you need to know.

[00:13:08]But here is the critical point and this is something Peter Schiff has emphasized very strongly. Central bank buying is just the foundation. It is the baseline demand that is already pushing prices higher. But it is not the thing that is going to send gold to $20,000 and silver to $150 or $200. The real explosive force is still coming. Right now, as we speak, the majority of institutional investors have zero exposure to precious metals. Think about that for a moment.

[00:13:38]Pension funds managing trillions of dollars, university endowments, insurance companies, mutual funds, sovereign wealth funds. Most of them right now have 0% allocated to gold or silver. Zero. And here is where it gets incredibly important from an analytical standpoint. When these institutions decide and they will decide to move even just 5 to 10% of their portfolio into precious metals, the amount of money flowing into this market will be absolutely enormous. We are talking about trillions of dollars chasing a market that is by comparison tiny. The entire above ground investable gold supply in the world is worth roughly 5 to6 trillion. The global pension fund industry alone manages over $50 trillion. So when even a fraction of that institutional money rotates into gold and silver, there is simply not enough supply to absorb that demand at current prices. Prices will have to rise dramatically, rapidly and sustainably.

[00:14:35]This is not speculation. This is basic supply and demand mathematics. Now beyond the institutions, there is another layer of demand building, the everyday retail investor. For most of the last decade, retail investors were focused on stocks, on crypto, on real estate. Precious metals felt old-fashioned, boring, something your grandfather talked about. But that narrative is changing fast. As inflation has eaten into savings, as stock market volatility has increased, as people have watched their purchasing power quietly disappear, a growing number of everyday investors are asking a question they never asked before. Should I be buying gold and silver? And the answer increasingly is yes. We are seeing retail interest in physical silver and gold rising significantly. Coin shops are reporting strong demand. Online dealers are seeing increased traffic.

[00:15:27]The conversation around precious metals is entering mainstream financial discussions for the first time in decades. This is extremely important because retail demand when it reaches a tipping point creates momentum and momentum in a small supply constrained market like precious metals creates explosive price moves. So let me paint the full picture for you as an analyst.

[00:15:49]You have central banks already buying consistently strategically. You have institutional investors on the verge of entering with trillions of dollars ready to deploy. You have retail investors waking up for the first time in decades, adding physical demand at the ground level. And you have all of this demand converging on a market with a fixed and shrinking supply. This is what analysts call a perfect demand storm. Three separate waves of buyers all moving in the same direction at the same time. And the supply side, as I am going to show you in our next segment, cannot respond the way other commodity markets can. You cannot print silver. You cannot manufacture gold out of thin air. The supply is what it is. And it is not enough. I want you to do something right now. Go to the comments section and tell me, are you more interested in physical metals, gold coins, silver bars, actual tangible assets, or are you looking at mining stocks, companies that pull these metals out of the ground? Because in part five, we are going to talk specifically about the silver supply crisis and why the mining sector right now is sitting on one of the most undervalued opportunities I have seen in years. The market has not priced this in yet, but it will. And when it does, the move will be fast. Don't go anywhere. So now you understand the demand side completely. Central banks buying, institutions preparing to enter, retail investors waking up, three massive waves of demand, all converging at the same time. But now I want to talk about the other side of the equation, the supply side. Because this is where the silver story gets really, and I mean really interesting. And this is the part that most mainstream financial analysts completely ignore. Let me start with a fundamental truth that every serious precious metals investor needs to understand.

[00:17:33]Silver is not like wheat. Silver is not like corn. It is not like soybeans. It is not like oil. When the price of wheat shoots up, farmers respond. They plant more wheat. They convert other fields.

[00:17:46]They increase production. Within one or two growing seasons, supply increases and the price begins to stabilize. That is how most commodity markets work.

[00:17:54]Silver does not work that way. You cannot plant silver. You cannot grow silver. You cannot manufacture a silver in a factory. Silver has to be found. It has to be discovered underground. It has to be extracted through a long, expensive, technically complex mining process. And here is the critical thing.

[00:18:12]Finding new silver deposits and bringing them into production takes years.

[00:18:16]sometimes decades. So when silver demand surges as it is doing right now, the supply side simply cannot respond quickly enough. The result prices have to rise significantly and for a sustained period. This is not a temporary spike. This is a structural supply deficit and it is getting worse every single year. Now here is something that makes silver supply situation even more critical. Silver is not just a monetary metal. It is not just something people buy as an investment or store of value. Silver is an industrial metal and one of the most important ones on the planet. Solar panels, electric vehicles, semiconductors, medical equipment, defense technology, 5G infrastructure, all of these industries require silver.

[00:19:01]And all of these industries are growing rapidly at exactly the same time that investment demand for silver is surging.

[00:19:08]So you have two completely separate demand forces, industrial and investment, both pulling from the same limited supply pool at the same time.

[00:19:17]This is extraordinarily bullish for silver prices going forward and the mining industry as large as it is simply does not have the capacity to fill that gap quickly. Now I want to be transparent with you because that is what this channel is about. I have personally been building positions in physical silver and silver mining stocks for a significant period of time. My silver holdings have increased dramatically, five to six times in value over this period. But here is the honest truth. If someone had told me a year ago that silver would be at $115 today, I would have expected my mining stock positions to be performing even better than they are right now. The stocks have not fully caught up yet, and that from an analytical standpoint is not a warning sign. That is an opportunity.

[00:20:01]The market is still in disbelief.

[00:20:03]Investors are still waiting for the pullback. And while they wait, the fundamentals keep getting stronger. Let me ask you something important right now. Are you currently holding any silver or gold mining stocks? If yes, which ones are you watching? Drop them in the comments. Let's build a conversation around this because in our final segment, part six, we are going to bring everything together. The Trump factor, the dollar endgame, and my final analyst verdict on exactly where gold and silver are headed and what you should be doing right now to position yourself. This is the part you do not want to miss. Stay right there. Every day that passes without positioning yourself in real assets is a day that the purchasing power of your paper savings quietly disappears. You have worked too hard for your money to let inflation silently steal it from you.

[00:20:50]Gold and silver are not just investments. They are financial self-defense. And right now, the window to position yourself ahead of the institutional wave, ahead of the full dollar repricing is still open. But windows do not stay open forever.
