Francis Hunt argues that silver price discovery is shifting east toward China and Singapore, while rising sovereign yields signal a broader debt-debasement regime that ultimately favors gold and silver. He is bullish on precious metals over the longer run, but near term he expects volatility, possible additional pullbacks, and continued pressure from higher rates, oil shocks, and liquidity stress.

This interview centers on three linked themes: silver market structure, sovereign debt stress, and political/financial control. Hunt says the physical silver market is increasingly being priced in China rather than London/New York, citing a persistent spread between Chinese and Western prices, silver leaving the US/UK for China and India, and Singapore’s planned silver futures contract as evidence that price discovery is migrating east. On silver itself, he describes the recent move as a large rally followed by an expected technical correction inside a falling-wedge / reaccumulation structure, with the possibility of another selloff before a breakout resumes. The macro core of the discussion is Hunt’s view that global sovereign debt markets are breaking down. …
Near term, metals still look tradeable but fragile: higher yields, oil shocks, and liquidation risk can produce another dip before the next leg. Watch for a false break in silver or a renewed debt-market wobble as the next catalyst.
Over the next few months, the base case is still constructive for gold and silver if debt yields keep grinding higher and fiat confidence weakens. The setup improves if any correction is absorbed quickly and physical demand from Asia stays firm.
Structurally, Hunt’s thesis is that the world is entering a debt-debasement regime where real assets outperform paper claims. In that environment, physical monetary metals and jurisdictional optionality become enduring advantages.
Physical silver price discovery is increasingly moving from London/New York to China.
He cites a persistent China-West price gap, import flows, and silver leaving the West for Asia.
Singapore’s planned silver futures contract could become a new pricing center alongside Hong Kong and Beijing.
He treats the exchange launch as part of a broader eastward migration in price discovery.
Silver remains in a broader bullish technical structure despite the recent violent selloff.
He describes a weekly falling wedge / breakout attempt and expects another selloff may occur before a larger upside break.
What are the potential implications of rising bond yields across the board, particularly with US 20- and 30-year yields above 5% and Japan's bond situation looking alarming?
Why did Prime Minister Modi go on TV and implore Indian citizens to stop buying gold for a year, and could this lead to a permanent ban or quota system on gold purchases?
What is behind Modi's call for Indians to stop buying gold, and could the government eventually restrict gold purchases further?
The guest says politicians should be read through inversion: if Modi says not to buy gold, it signals pressure on the rupee and a reason to buy gold instead. He frames the move as consistent with a foreign-reserves crisis and argues India is under currency stress, making gold a natural hedge.
