Jeffrey Christian: Silver Market Outlook 2026. Prices, Demand Surge, and CPM’s Silver Yearbook

In this in-depth interview, Michael Fox sits down with Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group to break down the latest insights from the Silver Yearbook, a globally recognized source of independent silver market research. Christian explains how rising investment demand has driven silver prices from $20–$35 to highs of $121 before stabilizing near $70, and why investor behavior—not industrial demand—is now the key price driver. The discussion covers silver’s unique role as quasi-money, market “velocity,” shifting fabrication demand, geopolitical influences like the Iran deal, and near-term price forecasts ranging from $60 to $90 with potential spikes. Jeffrey also shares long-term expectations for elevated prices amid global instability and highlights CPM’s upcoming 2026 Platinum Group Metals Yearbook release.

Chris Temple: The “New Sheriff” at the Fed: Inflation Battle & Global Energy Shock

The Prospector Podcast Michael Fox and Chris Temple of the National Investor break down the latest Federal Reserve meeting through a “spaghetti western” lens, contrasting the “old sheriff” Jerome Powell with the incoming “new sheriff,” Kevin Warsh. They explore Warsh’s sharp focus on inflation control, his critique of past Fed decisions, and what a more disciplined monetary policy could mean for markets, interest rates, and everyday Americans. The discussion dives into rising inflation pressures, the Fed’s shift toward a neutral stance, and the potential for future rate hikes amid a volatile global energy crisis driven by Middle East tensions. They also examine how higher energy costs are rippling through global economies, the risks facing countries struggling with imports, and the broader implications for treasuries, metals, and long-term yields. With comparisons to Paul Volcker’s era and skepticism around international negotiations, this conversation unpacks the high-stakes transition shaping the future of the U.S. economy. #FederalReserve #Inflation #KevinWarsh #JeromePowell #InterestRates #Economy #MacroEconomics #EnergyCrisis #OilPrices #TreasuryYields #MonetaryPolicy #GlobalEconomy #Finance #Investing #MarketAnalysis
