In this conversation with Craig Hemke of TF Metals Report, we discuss why gold and silver have held up far better than many expected despite inflation pressure, rising oil, and central banks being trapped between a weak economy and higher rates. Craig explains why he believes negative real interest rates remain the key driver for gold, why silver may be acting differently this time, and why the lack of mainstream interest in mining stocks could mean this bull market still has much further to go.
We also get into the January silver spike and why this cycle may not be playing out like prior blowoffs, how China and India may be changing the silver picture, why retail still has not shown up in size, and what it would take for mining shares to catch up to the move in the metals.
