Gold, Silver Prices Are Getting Hit Today. One Big Thing Is Doing the Damage. - Barron's

Another day, another coordinated selloff in the futures markets. When Barron's talks about 'one big thing' doing damage, they're usually pointing at dollar strength or rate fears. But here's what matters for stackers: physical premiums aren't collapsing with spot prices. Local coin shops still charging $70+ over spot for silver eagles. That spread tells the real story. Paper traders can dump contracts all day, but try buying 1000 ounces of physical at these suppressed prices. Good luck. COMEX registered silver sits near historic lows while industrial demand keeps climbing. These manufactured dips separate weak hands from strong ones. Stack accordingly.
