About this episode
In today’s weekend deep dive, we’re breaking down the chaos in the silver market.
Silver prices went on a historic run before crashing more than 30% in a single day. So what happened?
We'll breakdown:
- Why silver rallied so aggressively in the first place
Silver’s critical role in AI, data centers, solar, and EVs - The tight supply dynamics that make silver uniquely volatile
- Why some analysts think we’re entering a commodities supercycle
- How Trump’s pick for the next Fed Chair helped trigger Friday’s crash
- The bull case vs. the bear case moving forward
- Whether this was a healthy reset or the popping of a bubble
- And finally, Zaid shares his take on silver, commodities, and whether this crash could be a buying opportunity
