Veteran market commentator Peter Grandich frames silver’s move above $100 as the logical endpoint of years of monetary distortion rather than a sudden speculative anomaly, explaining how paper leverage, currency debasement, and technical exhaustion finally collided. He notes that while the fundamental backdrop of a weakening dollar and constrained physical supply remains supportive, the price action itself now resembles a classic parabolic advance, stretched well beyond historical norms like a market running ahead of its own shadow. Drawing on decades of experience, Grandich highlights the unusual divergence between rising paper prices and heavy physical selling as a sign of late cycle behavior rather than fresh institutional conviction. The conversation then shifts to market infrastructure and liquidity, where he argues that cash and short term instruments briefly regain strategic value when metals, equities, and other risk assets rise together in an all asset inflation. The economic consequence, in Grandich’s view, is not the end of the precious metals thesis, but an elevated risk of sharp corrective resets that punish complacency before a longer term monetary reckoning reasserts itself.
