About this episode
In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire is joined by Alasdair Macleod to reveal how silver is quietly moved through private channels - largely controlled by China - keeping real supply and demand hidden from the open market. As silver approaches a critical price point, two old friends explain how major market players may soon lose their grip, opening the door for a sharp rise in silver and a fresh wave of interest in precious metals, unwinding decades of price control.Check out Alasdair: https://alasdairmacleod.substack.com/_______________________________________________________________Timestamps: 00:00 Start02:20 Andrew introduces Alasdair Macleod03:55 Silver breaks out as warehouse stocks reach critical lows10:55 EFP values distorted; China continues strategic silver stockpiling18:50 Major Asian buyers quietly acquiring precious metals by the billion27:25 Echoes of the 1970s: Historic parallels in gold accumulation32:25 BRICS currency risks and the rise of an East Asian supergroup37:05 What the whales and central banks are really doing behind the scenes43:30 How central bank leasing and double-counting threaten a crisis47:15 The Fed’s covert borrowing of gold from the BIS51:40 Alasdair’s journey: Decades of decoding precious metals market behaviour_______________________________________________________________Ask your questions for Andy here: https://forum.kinesis.money/forums/qu...
