Silver is building up to breaking out above the key $50 level to new all-time highs, a major technical event that is expected to trigger a scorching short-covering rally that will be driven by a massive short squeeze that could trigger a "forcé majeure" event where delivery becomes impossible because there's no silver on hand to deliver, as in "Sorry, we haven’t got any."

Consider subscribing to GATA supporter Mike Ballanger's daily market letter

Section: Daily Dispatches

8:06p ET Tuesday, September 3, 2025

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA long has been reading the daily market letter from our old friend Michael J. Ballanger in Canada, a letter that concentrates on the mining industry but often has a wider focus and, unlike most financial letters, acknowledges market manipulation.

I think you'll enjoy it and find it profitable.

U.S. Treasury bills seem to be losing favour, with the Reserve Bank of India stepping up gold holdings to increase India's foreign exchange reserves. 

India's central bank has shown a preference for increasing gold reserves instead of U.S. Treasury bills to strengthen its foreign exchange holdings, according to recent data from the U.S. Department of Treasury and RBI. This is part of a broader global shift towards diversifying national reserves beyond dollar-based assets.
