Alasdair Macleod provides insight into the long-term suppression of silver prices, focusing on China’s covert accumulation of silver since the 1980s. He explains how China, leveraging its position as a major refiner and miner of silver, amassed significant undeclared silver reserves while keeping prices suppressed. Macleod links this price management to global silver futures markets and suggests that it was driven by China’s desire to acquire silver without triggering price increases. He also touches on the broader economic impact of this suppression, noting that as global economic conditions worsen, silver may soon see its value rise as it becomes freed from past price controls. Finally, Macleod predicts that as gold prices continue to climb, silver will likely follow suit, making it an important asset for investors to watch.
