Silver’s 40-Year Breakout

Gold has topped $3,500… and silver is finally moving along for the ride.

The metal topped $40 on Friday, its highest close since 2011.

That’s 14 years of sideways trading.

Even though silver has strong industrial demand on top of a historical use case as money. And on August 28, silver was listed among the Trump administration’s classification as a “critical metal” for the US economy.

We’re writing about silver today for a different reason.

One key technical chart suggests that the breakout is the start of what could be a multi-year rally, because it’s a chart 40 years in the making:

We generally use technical indicators to determine short-term momentum in specific stocks are sectors. Today’s silver breakout reveals a longer term trend.

Silver first reached a peak of $50 per ounce in 1980. Then, it languished and hit $48 in 2011 during the last peak.

After adjusting for inflation, silver still needs to soar closer to $200 per ounce to make all-time highs.

With a cup-and-handle breakout now in the cards, it’s possible that in the next few years, the metal could do just that. In the shorter term? It could jump to $50 per ounce.

Real assets in general tend to hold their value during inflationary periods — because they’re not just paper promises. They’re tangible. They’re productive. They’re the raw inputs the economy is actually built on.

One of the most obvious opportunities right now — possibly the most mispriced sector in the entire market — is energy.

The world does not exist without energy. Full stop. People have been fed a ridiculous lie that oil is going to disappear and we’re all going to drive solar-powered EVs and Exxon is going to go out of business.

In the U.S., stablecoin rules remain tangled between crypto exchanges eager for new customers and small banks afraid of losing deposits.

China’s Ant Group is filing trademarks for “Antcoin” while the Party debates whether digital dollars threaten national sovereignty. And in Singapore, StraitsX cofounder Samson Leo frets about regulatory fragmentation: “If every jurisdiction requires us to split reserves across their banking systems, customer protection will diminish.”

Stablecoins today are where email was when businesses still faxed each other printouts of their inbox goes an apt analogy suggested by Bloomberg’s Andy Mukherjee.

The rails are there — the habits aren’t. But the shift is coming. And when it does, it won’t just change how we pay — it’ll change who gets paid.

Anticipating a sluggish labor market, the Fed has cut rates twice this fall.

Unfortunately, you can’t fix a reorganization with cheaper money. AI will eat the easy tasks first, so the pain you see — pink slips — is only half the story. Those jobs will likely never return.

If you’re from New York—or know anyone there—you’ll probably agree: most New Yorkers are fed up with crime, the outrageous cost of living, government incompetence and corruption—and, yes, the rats.

But the fact that a hard-core socialist like Mamdani is their favorite pick to solve those problems tells you that most voters have no idea why any of it is happening.
