Physical Flows Signal a Shift in Gold and Silver. Feat. Andy Schectman

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire welcomes Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin to examine the widening gap between COMEX and physical metal flows, highlighting record deliveries and unprecedented sovereign accumulation. 

The two friends examine the erosion of trust in Western systems and the influence of key players, including China and central banks, quietly absorbing substantial quantities of gold and silver and altering the dynamics of the metals market.

In this video, Andrew Maguire and Andy Scheckman discuss the significant divergence between paper and physical gold and silver markets, arguing that recent price corrections are structural rather than fundamental. They suggest that while paper prices have been suppressed by Western institutions through margin hikes and exchange-traded fund rebalancing, major global players like central banks and the Chinese market are aggressively accumulating physical metal at record levels. The speakers highlight that the depletion of physical inventories on exchanges like the COMEX signals a shift towards a trustless system where tangible assets are becoming more valuable than paper promises. Ultimately, they view the current market environment as a strategic opportunity for informed investors to position themselves against a backdrop of global de-dollarization, rising debt, and the eventual failure of Western price manipulation.
