Macleod doesn’t do subtle, and he didn’t come to the SilverTrade Insider to start: “China has suppressed the price of silver for decades. It’s acted as a sort of swing factor” (2:05). Seven straight years of Silver Institute deficits (2:26), and the hole was quietly plugged by Beijing feeding metal out of its STRATEGIC RESERVES.
Then September happened. Tariff threats, and within weeks the LBMA got squeezed so hard lease rates hit 40% (3:07). America woke up late and declared silver a critical mineral, and Macleod’s response is the quote of the episode: “Was China actually going to supply America with her stockpile of silver? No way” (3:51).
The scoreboard since: COMEX bleeding roughly a MILLION ounces a day since the January peak (5:32), Shanghai restocking, and COMEX open interest at 20-year lows. A market Macleod calls “already massively oversold” (24:22). His ratio math: gold doubles, silver QUADRUPLES (22:16).
And the line under our headline, in full: “It’s rather like holding a bar of soap in the shower and you squeeze it and it goes like that. That’s what’s going to happen, in my view” (4:11). Recorded May 7. The tape gets to grade him. Watch the full episode below.
