In this new episode, Jan Skoyles separates myth from mechanism to explain what’s really happening behind the headlines. Silver’s recent surge isn’t a scandal it’s a system under strain.

Jan explains how the century-old silver market clears demand, why shelves can look empty when bars are plentiful, and what backwardation, lease rates, and spreads are really telling us.
In this video:

Why spot silver is trading above futures and what “backwardation” means

Why lease rates, spreads, and airfreight all signal the same thing: stress, not scandal

How retail shortages differ from wholesale supply

Why industrial demand is colliding with investment demand

What to watch next as the system rebalances

This isn’t a tale of villains or manipulation it’s a practical look at how real metal moves through a complex global network under pressure.

On Tuesday, 21st October 2025, we’ll be hosting a live conversation about what record-breaking gold and silver prices really mean. It’s titled “Gold at $4,000, Silver at $50: Peak or Turning Point?” which captures the mood of the moment.

Gold has climbed more than 50% in a year and silver has broken through levels not seen for more than a decade. Some say this is the peak. Others believe it is the market quietly rewriting the price of money itself.
