In this episode of Palisades Gold Radio, host Tom Bodrovics interviews Josh Phair, CEO of Scottsdale Mint and Wyoming Reserve. The discussion centers on the current state of global finance, particularly the role of gold as a reserve asset and its implications for central banks, markets, and investors. Phair highlights that central banks are increasingly turning to gold as a risk-free asset, replacing treasuries on their balance sheets. This shift is driven by de-leveraging and de-risking strategies amid concerns over fiat currency inflation. He notes that countries like China have been leading this trend, with significant imports of gold into the U.S., signaling a global "gold race." The conversation also touches on Basel III regulations, set to take effect in summer 2025, which require banks to hold more capital and physical gold. Phair explains that owning ETFs does not provide the same risk-free status as holding physical gold, prompting central banks to prioritize its acquisition. Phair discusses the recent LBMA delivery issues, where metals were being requested at unprecedented rates, leading to delays. He suggests this was a combination of factors, including tariffs, market dynamics, and regulatory preparedness. Phair also explores the role of gold in a potential monetary reset, suggesting that while it won't happen overnight, gold is likely to play a significant role due to its status as a trusted asset. He advises investors to follow the lead of central banks and accumulate physical gold as a hedge against uncertainty. Time Stamp References:0:00 - Introduction0:48 - Gold Vs.

Silver Bullion founder Gregor Gregersen and The Safe House team have been setting the standard for vaulting and non-destructive precious metals testing for years. As a result, the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) invited Gregor to an LBMA conference in London to speak on a standard for precious metals. Come see what Gregor had to say here.

Mario Innecco thinks the main story to be watching in the precious metals space right now is the massive amount of both gold and silver outflows from the LBMA, leaving inventories dangerously low, just as bullion banks are ramping up their short positions. Mario also discusses why he thinks the UK financial system is on life support, the curious case of Chinese investment companies now being part of the Shanghai Gold Exchange, and much more.Subscribe to the TRENDS Journal: https://trendsjournal.com/subscribe (Use coupon code COMMODITY for 10% off)maneco64 on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@maneco64Follow Mario on X: https://x.com/maneco1964Follow Jesse Day on X: https://x.com/jessebdayCommodity Culture on Youtube: https://youtube.com/c/CommodityCulture

In this episode, hosts John Reade and Joe Cavatoni from the World Gold Council interview Sakhila Mirza, Deputy Chief Executive and General Counsel at the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) to learn more about the LBMA's role in the global gold and precious metals industries.  Sakhila provides a detailed overview of the LBMA's role as a membership organisation for participants in the Loco London Precious Metals Market. She outlines their standards including the Good Delivery List, the Global Precious Metals Code and the Responsible Gold Guidance.  The conversation then moves on to how technology and the GBI programme can support greater transparency across the gold supply chain. Finally, Sakhila, John and Joe dive into the LBMA's sustainability and responsible sourcing programme, which includes a discussion on the Gold Principles Group and pan-industry initiatives, International Bullion Centres, and artisanal and small-scale gold mining.     [1.20] Who is the LBMA and what is their role in the global precious metals industry?

This was something that the LBMA held the pen on when it came to drafting the Global Precious Metals Code, and is enforced by the LBMA and every member must attest to the code… From the LBMA perspective, it's a code that applies to the entire industry, whether you're a member of the LBMA or not.” -Sakhila Mirza “We announced earlier this year, in March of 2024, that the LBMA will be launching the LBMA GBI database.” -Sakhila Mirza “As you said, 20% of the overall supply is ASM (artisanal small-scale mining). If you take that 20%, less than 2% is going through the LBMA refiners.

Tom welcomes back Matthew Pipenburg from Von Greyerz Gold Switzerland for another thoughtful swap-fest. They began by discussing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and its impact on military spending, which has diverted resources away from domestic priorities like healthcare and education. They pointed out that many countries are facing significant debt issues, leading to a shift away from the US dollar as the primary reserve currency. This trend has increased interest in gold as an alternative asset for reserves. The role of gold was a key topic, with Matthew noting that while revaluing gold could offer short-term benefits but it wouldn't resolve the underlying debt crisis. Central banks, especially those in BRICS countries, have been increasing their gold holdings as a strategic reserve, reflecting growing doubts about fiat currencies. Matt criticized high military spending relative to domestic investments in the US, arguing that this imbalance is unsustainable. They also talked about central bank operations and market manipulation. Quantitative easing has led to market distortions and bubbles, while market manipulation risks eroding trust in financial systems. The conversation turned to global shifts, with BRICS countries gaining influence through their increased use of gold as a reserve asset. Tom highlighted the likelihood of significant market corrections due to high valuations and economic instability. Finally, Matthew emphasized the need for informed, fact-based discussions rather than partisan debates, urging critical thinking about government policies and encouraging engagement with diverse viewpoints from contrarian sources like Jeffrey Sachs.

Ian Everard believes that the massive gold outflows from London and 10-year lows on silver inventories at the LBMA are converging to cause a squeeze on the bullion banks shorting the precious metals market that will leave them scrambling to cover.

Tom welcomes a new guest Eric Yueng to explore the current state of the gold market, focusing on the LBMA's physical delivery delays, the surge in physical gold demand at the COMEX, and the implications for investors. Yueng explains that the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) has seen significant delays in physical gold deliveries, increasing from T+2 or T+4 to T+30 or even T+60. This has led to a surge in physical gold delivery requests at the COMEX, with volumes reaching 15 times normal levels in December and January, and continuing to rise in February. He attributes this surge to investors seeking physical metal rather than cash-settled contracts, driven by concerns over the LBMA's ability to deliver. Yueng discusses the role of exchange-for-physical (EFP) trading pairs, where arbitrageurs typically profit from price differences between COMEX and LBMA markets. However, the current demand for physical delivery has disrupted this mechanism, potentially leading to a "short squeeze" as those unable to secure physical gold are forced to cover their positions at higher prices. He suggests that large institutions, possibly acting on behalf of the U.S. government, are driving much of the physical gold demand. This aligns with reports of significant imports into the U.S., which he believes could be part of efforts to repatriate gold ahead of potential audits or revaluation. Yeung also touches on the role of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like GLD, noting that borrowing rates have surged as institutions withdraw physical gold. This, combined with the LBMA's reported attempts to borrow gold from foreign central banks, highlights growing concerns about the availability and allocation of physical gold. Looking at China, Yeung notes that the country is preparing for higher gold prices through initiatives like the Gold Accumulation Program, which encourages retail investment in physical gold, and allowing insurance companies to invest in it. These moves are expected to significantly increase institutional demand for gold in China. Yueng contrasts this with the West, where sentiment toward gold remains lukewarm despite high prices, partly due to competition from cryptocurrencies. He predicts that if gold prices continue to rise, particularly beyond $3,500 per ounce, there could be a significant shift in investor behavior and increased demand for mining stocks. Finally, Eric addresses silver, suggesting that its price suppression may end as the U.S. seeks to support domestic mining interests amid manufacturing reshoring efforts. He highlights the growing deficit in silver supply and questions the LBMA's reported inventories.

Tom welcomes back Peter Schiff, the CEO and Chief Economist of Euro Pacific Asset Management, Chairman of Schiff Gold, and host of Schiff Radio to the show. Peter discusses inflation, central banking policies, and the implications of stagflation on the economy. He emphasizes that inflation is fundamentally caused by an expansion in the money supply and credit, rather than rising prices alone. Schiff argues that the Federal Reserve's actions, including quantitative easing and low interest rates, have fueled inflation and exacerbated economic instability. Schiff critiques the government's handling of inflation, noting that it often deflects blame onto businesses or labor unions instead of addressing the root causes. He warns that continued deficit spending and debt accumulation will lead to higher inflation and potentially a financial crisis. Schiff also highlights the role of tariffs and trade policies in affecting prices and trade deficits, though he doubts their effectiveness in fundamentally altering the economic landscape. The discussion turns to gold and precious metals as a hedge against inflation. Schiff notes that despite record earnings from gold mining companies, investor sentiment remains cautious, with many preferring speculative assets like cryptocurrencies or AI stocks. He believes this presents an opportunity for investors to capitalize on undervalued gold mining stocks before prices rise significantly. Schiff also touches on the potential impact of rising interest rates in Japan and the yen carry trade, warning that unwinding these positions could disrupt global markets. Additionally, he discusses the role of central banks in buying gold as a form of portfolio insurance and predicts continued demand for precious metals as investors seek safe havens amid economic uncertainty.

Gold and precious metals offer protection against inflation, with mining stocks currently undervalued despite strong fundamentals. Economic instability and stagflation risks loom large, driven by debt, deficits, and ineffective monetary policies.

Peter is an economic forecaster and investment advisor influenced by the free-market Austrian School of economics. He is one of the few forecasters who accurately and publicly predicted the 2007 housing market collapse and subsequent 2008 financial crisis. His latest best-selling book, The Real Crash: America's Coming Bankruptcy - How to Save Yourself and Your Country, warns that the 2008 crisis was just the prelude to a larger sovereign debt crisis in the United States that may lead to a collapse of the US dollar. Peter recommends long-term investment in foreign markets with sound fiscal policies, as well as global commodities including buying gold, silver and other physical precious metals.

Tom welcomes back Robert Sinn to share his background in precious metals, junior mining, and biotech investing. Robert emphasizes the attractiveness of gold mining equities due to their underappreciated nature and the potential for significant returns. He highlights that the sector is less competitive compared to mainstream stocks like Apple or Microsoft, offering investors an edge through lower competition and fewer institutional players. Sinn structures his portfolio by considering market capitalization and volatility, allocating smaller percentages to high-risk junior miners (e.g., 2-3%) and larger allocations to more stable major miners (e.g., 10%). He prioritizes risk management, focusing on potential losses before profit opportunities. He also advises against holding overly concentrated positions in volatile stocks, suggesting that investors should cap their exposure based on market feedback. He touches on the macroeconomic backdrop, particularly the secular bull market for gold driven by central banks' increased demand, especially from China and India. Sinn notes that gold's role as a safe-haven asset is becoming more pronounced amid global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. He also discusses the potential impact of tariffs and trade policies under the current administration on gold prices, suggesting that these factors could further drive demand. Sinn critiques the use of ETFs like GDX to gauge the entire mining sector, arguing that such funds are skewed towards larger companies and may not reflect broader trends. Instead, he advocates for a more nuanced approach, examining individual company performance and pipeline projects. He also touches on the importance of China's gold accumulation, which has significantly influenced global markets, and the potential for a physical short squeeze in gold. While acknowledging the complexity of predicting such events, Sinn believes that gold's role as a hedge against inflation and economic instability will continue to drive its value. Finally, Sinn underscores the need for investors to understand both macroeconomic trends and micro-level company fundamentals, emphasizing the importance of staying informed and adaptable in a rapidly changing market landscape.

Tom welcomes back Don Durrett, author, investor, and founder of Goldstockdata.com, to discuss the current state of gold, silver, and the broader economic developments. During their conversation, gold reached an all-time high, with spot prices near $2863 and futures above $2900. Silver is trading around $32.26, while the HUI (Hard Rock Miners' Index) stood at 328. The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) reported delivery delays of four to eight weeks, indicating potential shortages. Lease rates have spiked to five percent, a significant increase from the usual one percent or less. Don suggested this could be due to LBMA supply issues. Don emphasized silver's role as a proxy for gold, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty. He warned of potential shortages in silver, driven by competing demands from investors and industrial fabricators. This could lead to dramatic price increases if a fear trade begins. Despite strong stock market performance, Don expressed concerns about an impending "rug pull," where the market could crash due to economic factors like inflation, high interest rates, and tariff policies. He highlighted issues such as consumer discretionary spending constraints, commercial real estate overhangs, and rising bankruptcies in small businesses. The Fed's inability to cut rates due to inflation concerns was discussed, along with potential implications for the economy. Don speculated that the Fed might resort to quantitative easing (QE) in response to a market crash, though he questioned their ability to manage regional bank crises.

How Close Silver Squeeze Came To Breaking The Market | Rick Rule Back in 2021, the silver market had an event that came to be known as the Silver Squeeze. Which led to a brief spike in the price, and a surge in investment demand, that 2 months later would lead the LBMA to say 'had demand in iShares continued at the frenetic rate of late-January/early February it would only have been a matter of weeks before London's existing stock was used up." Yet the lesser known story is what was happening behind the scenes with the Sprott PSLV trust, which was clearing out the existing silver inventories in multiple cities. In this clip, RIck Rule, who had a unique access to the silver market due to his role with the PSLV trust, talks about how close the market came to breaking, and whether he expects it to happen again.

HANetf investment writer Jake Coulson talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about HANetf's partnership with The Royal Mint to bring sustainability into the gold exchange-traded commodity (ETC) market. Coulson highlighted the 2020 launch of The Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold ETC (RMAU), emphasising its distinctive features, such as being 100% physically backed by gold bars stored in The Royal Mint's secure vault in Wales. He explained that the gold used in this ETC is responsibly sourced, meeting post-2019 standards and includes a growing portion of 100% recycled gold, which he noted is “around 90% less carbon intensive than mined gold.” HANetf's approach, according to Coulson, allows investors with sustainability priorities to diversify away from mined gold. This partnership with The Royal Mint ensures close control over the gold's provenance, including the ability to quickly remove Russian-origin bars following geopolitical events. Coulson also introduced HANetf's latest currency-hedged ETCs, available in sterling, euros and Swiss francs, offering investors more options to manage their currency exposure while holding LBMA-approved gold bars. These additions maintain the full transparency HANetf's ETC investors expect, with an audited bar list always available on their website.

Raffiner son or localement est un rêve que de nombreux pays producteurs souhaitent atteindre. C'est le cas du Ghana. En août dernier, le premier extracteur d'or du continent africain a inauguré une toute nouvelle raffinerie. Une infrastructure qui, selon le gouvernement, permettrait au pays de reprendre pleinement la main sur la valeur de son minerai. Mais les obstacles avant d'atteindre cet objectif restent nombreux. Avec notre correspondant à Accra,Une raffinerie dernier cri, capable de traiter 400 kilos d'or par jour, pour un taux de pureté de 24 carats : la Royal Ghana Gold Refinery a été inaugurée en août à Accra par le vice-président Mahamudu Bawumia. « Aujourd'hui, nous ne célébrons pas seulement une nouvelle installation, mais un témoignage de l'engagement de notre gouvernement pour la valorisation de nos ressources naturelles », a-t-il déclaré à cette occasion.En 2023, l'or représentait déjà à lui seul près de la moitié des exportations du pays. Raffiner cette matière chez soi, c'est donc l'assurance d'une stabilité économique renforcée, selon le gouverneur de la banque centrale du Ghana. « Ajouter de la valeur aux ressources aurifères du Ghana nous permettra d'augmenter nos stocks de devises étrangères, d'améliorer notre balance de paiements, ce qui, à terme, nous protégera des chocs et des vulnérabilités extérieures », avance Ernest Addison.Pour vendre son or sur les principales places financières mondiales, encore faut-il que la raffinerie soit certifiée par la London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). Une tâche loin d'être aisée. L'institution attend qu'une raffinerie puisse opérer à un certain volume pendant trois années consécutives. « La raison de cette règle, c'est que maintenir la qualité de raffinage à petite échelle ne signifie pas forcément qu'on est capable de le faire à grande échelle », détaille Bright Simons, économiste et vice-président du think tank ghanéen Imani.Comment intégrer la production artisanale ?La Royal Ghana Gold Refinery est loin d'être la première à tenter l'aventure au Ghana. Toutes sont confrontées au même problème selon l'économiste : le manque de capitaux. « Il y a une douzaine de raffineries d'or au Ghana, certaines plus grosses encore que celle qui vient d'être inaugurée, met encore en avant Bright Simons. Et aucune n'a réussi à atteindre la certification. C'est notamment parce que le raffinage d'or a une faible rentabilité. »Y a-t-il seulement assez d'or au Ghana pour satisfaire la demande ? Le pays a beau être le plus gros producteur du continent, ses principales mines exportent déjà vers des raffineries étrangères, détentrices de certification LBMA. Reste alors les dizaines de milliers de mines de petites tailles. Or, il n'y a aucune garantie. « Si la raffinerie attend des petits mineurs qu'ils lui apportent eux-mêmes leur or, elle n'aura pas les quantités souhaitées. Il faut donner aux mineurs des avantages fiscaux, installer des bureaux près des mines. C'est à ces conditions qu'ils ne vendront leur or à personne d'autre », selon Godwin Armah, l'un des principaux représentants du secteur. Les autorités devront également résoudre le problème de la traçabilité. Un enjeu de taille dans un pays ravagé par l'orpaillage illégal.À lire aussiAu Ghana, «l'exploitation illégale de l'or est une malédiction environnementale»

Tom welcomes back Steve St. Angelo of the SRSrocco Report for a discussion on the record-high prices of gold and silver. St. Angelo suggests these levels for silver could be a new floor as they've historically returned to production costs following price spikes. The average cost of primary silver production is around $26 an ounce, taking taxes and developmental costs into account. St. Angelo stresses the importance of distinguishing investment demand from industrial demand when analyzing the silver market dynamics. A decade ago, there was a significant silver surplus due to decreased industrial demand which has since reversed with increased investment demand. Industrial demand is expected to consume all available supply, making additional investment demand potentially price-volatile. Steve explores the impact of energy scarcity and continued money printing on production costs, driving up gold and silver prices due to inflationary pressures. They discuss the possibility of a market correction offering the last chance to buy silver at present rates. Steve and Tom delve into the relationship between expanding money supply, debt, federal funds rate, and silver price. Looking towards the period leading up to 2025, a market correction is anticipated due to increasing unemployment and possible employment data revisions. Economic weakness could lead to reduced interest rates and more money printing, instigating inflation and purchasing power reduction. However, Commitment of Traders reports may not accurately reflect demand. The global silver mine supply and output have been declining since 2015, necessitating existing inventories to bridge the deficit. This imbalance could lead to a substantial correction when prices significantly surpass production costs. Concerns about marginal silver supply include transparent and non-transparent inventories, solar industry demand, and copper prices as indicators of industrial demand and potential recession. Steve discusses the shift from LBMA to ETF silver inventories. Pre-pandemic, there was significant physical buying leading to expanded ETF inventories. However, in 2022, overall LBMA inventories decreased due to Indian purchasing and ETF withdrawals. Finally, Steve discusses the merits of assets such as Bitcoin, gold, and silver. While some view Bitcoin as a digital counterpart to gold, Steve contends that saving in Bitcoin is not the same as saving in precious metals. This is due to Bitcoin mining causing considerable share dilution and due to the energy costs. Steve advocates understanding asset worth based on economic progress versus past activity, emphasizing energy's role in asset value, and preparing for future energy realities. Talking Points From This Episode Silver's new floor could be around average production cost ($26/oz). Industrial demand vs investment demand crucial in analyzing silver market dynamics. Economic instability, the energy cliff, inflation, and supply concerns may lead to significant price volatility.

In this week's #LocationWeekly episode, we discuss the state of the industry and our plans for the LBMA for the rest of the year and for 2025.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back mining executive and metals analyst David Jensen. Together they revisit concerns around the London gold market's dominance, estimated to account for 91-92% of the global gold trade. This is thanks to the Bank of England's 'regulatory oversight' since 1986, permitting unallocated gold contracts instead of physical bars. The market trades $500 billion of gold daily and and 2.9 billion ounces of silver. However, only around 3.5% of London's vaulted gold is actual physical. They contrast the LBMA with the Shanghai gold market and point out the key differences. David argues that the London market functions as a price-setting mechanism rather than one of price discovery. They discuss Gibson's paradox, where interest rates follow price levels rather than inflation rate. Central banks benefit from this control scheme due to their control over monetary policy and debt levels using gold and silver as loose policy indicators. David delves deeper into the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), which regulates through a voluntary code of conduct called NIPPS which is under Bank of England oversight. The metals market are dominated in London, with around 90% global cash trading occurring there. David raises concerns over the transparency and authenticity of silver holdings in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), questioning claims against metal, sub-custodians, potential rehypothecation or selling. The actual amount of silver held and its implications for interest rates and the economy if pricing proves fictitious are discussed.

This week a China refinery was just added to the LBMA's Silver Good Delivery List, which serves as just the latest step towards their growing involvement in the precious metals market. And Vince explains why he sees it as a significant step, and what that means as pricing power continues to shift east.

Tom welcomes back Alasdair Macleod to the show. Alasdair notes that gold prices rose significantly last week, but the miners did not hedge their positions. He belives this is because mining boards have come to realize that it is the weakening US dollar, not gold, that is the cause of the price increase. As a result, they have decided to hold off on hedging their positions. However, energy costs are still a concern as they can rise unpredictably. The commitment of traders report shows that many derivative markets are held by bullion banks in short positions. The open interest on COMEX is currently high, and Alasdair believes it could increase further. He sees COMEX as a key indicator for the gold market and believes that the bullion banks are facing a challenging situation with significant short positions. The reverse repos facility provided by the Federal Reserve has seen a decline in usage as money market funds have shifted to investing in Treasury bills, which offer better interest rates. Despite the rising government debt, funding frustrations have been avoided as money market funds find alternatives. However, this could put pressure on the bullion banking community if liquidity dries up and makes it difficult to fund government debt. There is speculation that a significant amount of gold, half of the world's total reserves, may no longer exist due to leasing and potential disappearance from the New York Fed. The Fed's announcement of a dovish pivot has caused the US dollar index to drop, leading to a decline in the yen carry trade. Investors are seeking alternative investments like gold. The Middle East conflict, particularly due to Houthi-Iranian aggression, could introduce further instability to the credit market. The Federal Reserve's priorities are shifting to focus on job creation for the upcoming presidential election. This shift has resulted in a fall in profits for the carry trade and a decline in the US dollar's trade weighted index. Central banks, including the Federal Reserve, have become more focused on funding governments rather than protecting the public from inflation and devaluation. The banking system, particularly in Europe, is highly leveraged and vulnerable to rising interest rates. The return of free banking is advocated by many, where banks are responsible for their own problems. The LBMA is experiencing a decrease in market share due to the popularity of places like Dubai, where gold is sold based solely on weight at the gold souk. The LBMA's efforts to gain preferential treatment from the Bank of International Settlements have been unsuccessful. Gold's value has been denied and downplayed by the US government, as a rise in gold prices would not be geopolitically beneficial. The situation in Argentina, with its President Milei is worth watching. Escalating tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine are also impacting energy prices and geopolitical dynamics.

#Gold & #Silver Imports To India Surge In October One of the biggest drivers of demand in the silver market in 2022 was a record-setting year of imports into India. That fueled a drain in the silver inventories on the #COMEX and LBMA, although the inventory levels were somewhat static over the past year as Indian silver demand in 2023 has been almost non-existent following the surge of demand in 2022. However after months of low figures, both gold and silver import numbers surged in October, with India importing almost 4 million ounces of gold and 60 million ounces of silver. At the same time, the LBMA showed its first inventory decline of the year, as 39 million ounces of silver were removed from their vaults. In today's show we look at the precious metals flows over the past month, and talk about how the gold and silver prices have responded since the breakout of a new conflict in the Middle East. Steve Cope of Silver Viper Minerals also talks about some of the latest projections from the Silver Institute, and where we stand with the potential end of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hiking campaign.

#RafiFarber - Record Gold Drain From LBMA, Silver Drains Down to Lows The national debt just ballooned another $100 billion in 6 days, just like the creation of the world. Arguably, the Federal government's accomplishment in debt accumulation is even more impressive. With the Treasury announcing $1.6 trillion in new borrowing by March and only $1 trillion left in the reverse repo facility, it looks like government borrowing needs and monetary reality are about to bash into each other. As this is happening, we are seeing record monthly physical gold drains from the LBMA, and physical silver stocks in London are back down just above all time lows.

#VinceLanci: What The #Silver Vault Levels Are Telling Us There's been a lot of attention placed on the #COMEX and LBMA silver vault totals over the past year, as both levels have declined substantially ever since the silver squeeze weekend at the end of January of 2021. But while the totals are going lower, what does that actually mean, and how should investors place that in context when they're analyzing the silver market? In today's show Vince Lanci looks at the changes in the levels, and puts into context what they actually imply, as well as what takeaways can be drawn. He also talks about some new uses for silver, a list that seemingly continues to grow by the week, and he comments on some of the silver trading patterns to start the week.

On this week's episode Carsten and Asif share together about the future of The LBMA, the issues and opportunties ahead for our industry in AI, modeling, privacy, etc. and talk about the upcoming events for our members to get involved.

#RafiFarber: #COMEX Registered #Silver Falls To 28 Million Ounces The big news in the silver space this week was that there was another large withdrawal from the COMEX registered silver supply, bringing the registered category down to 28 million ounces. There's been a steady drop in that inventory ever since the silver squeeze of 2021 (along with a drop in the LBMA vault supply, and now Shanghai's as well), and one can only wonder at what point there begins to become some concern in the broader investment community. As the Silver Institute reported that there was a 237 million ounce deficit in the market last year, which was likely funded in part by the decline in the warehouse stockpiles, and leaves the open question of where the silver is going to come from. Rafi looks at these developments, as well as the debt ceiling agreement and more, in this week's silver report.

#AndySchectman: #SilverPremiums Drop For 2nd Week In A Row The recent bank failures during March and April sparked a rush into gold and #silver, that resulted in a spike in premiums, and delays in certain products. However in the first 2 weeks of May, premiums have come back in as a sense of normalcy has returned to the market in the absence of any new failures. Which is perhaps not to say that the banking issues have been resolved or are behind us. Especially with the debt ceiling deadline looming, that so far has shown little signs of being resolved. So in this week's physical silver report with Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin, Andy describes what the conditions have been like in the physical silver market in the midst of the latest financial developments. He talks about silver premiums and availability, the inventories on the COMEX and LBMA, how people around the world are viewing the financial stability of the US system.

According to Lisa Koenigsberg, it's about much more than the materials used. As founder of Initiatives in Art and Culture (IAC), Lisa has organized dozens of conferences to encourage people to explore sustainability, stores of value, visual culture and more, all through the lens of jewelry. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about what visual culture is and why it's significant; what it means for makers and jewelry professionals to maintain purpose; and what we can expect from IAC's upcoming conferences.

Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week. Today, my guest is Lisa Koenigsberg speaking to us from New York and environs back east. She is the founder of Initiatives in Art and Culture, which is focused on a number of issues such as women in western art. There's also a conference, which I just noticed, on arts and crafts in the art world. She is an internationally recognized authority on material culture. This July, she is chairing an important conference called “Maintaining Purpose” with a focus on how to make something we all love, jewelry. We'll learn more about her jewelry journey today and hear more about the conference. I didn't go into all the details of the conference and her background because it would take too long. Lisa, welcome to the program. Lisa: Thank you. It's so nice to be here. Sharon: Tell us about your jewelry journey. Were you a jeweler? Were you educated as a jeweler? Lisa: No, I am not a jeweler. I am the child of two people who are very object-driven and, of course, a mother with extraordinary taste. But in terms of how you might say I studied jewelry, jewelry was part of what we looked at when thinking about—a term I find not felicitous, but I'll use it for the moment—decorative arts, so fitting into the range of the useful and the beautiful. Silver, for example. Jewelry certainly had a space there, and that was the earliest point for me that was non-life-driven. One of the great blessings that happened to me was that I did my graduate work at Yale. That was when the arts and crafts movement wasn't codified in the same way it is now. We sat around and talked about it in the back room of the American Arts office. There were objects there, and we had the opportunity to hold, see, explore. At the time, I also used to wash silver and jewelry for an extraordinary dealer who wrote a wonderful book, Rosalie Roberian. One of the things that did was give me a sense of weight, dimension, proportion, of engaging closely with materiality. Although the arts and crafts is one dimension, I think that illustrates well one of the things that has been so important for me, which is looking for the opportunity to hold, the opportunity to talk with makers. For example, every year, The Goldsmiths' Company in the U.K. does something called the Goldsmiths' Fair. At the Goldsmiths' Fair, there is one week with 67 or so makers. During that time, you can go and speak with any of the makers, explore the work in your hand, look closely at it. I think the journey of looking is probably one of the most important things. I've been interested in jewelry as a manifestation of the aesthetic of any era for a very long time as well. My background and training are cross-disciplinary. I'm an American studies person. For me, one of the things I always look for is what we are seeing as characteristic of an age, for example. I see jewelry as very much a part of the tangible expressions of an era. For example, if you're talking about a brooch, you can be working on a sculpture for the body, similarly with neckwear. It's one of the most intriguing forms of expression there is. Making jewelry, the impulse to craft out of whatever the culture sees as precious material, is one of the innate impulses we have, along with the urge to adorn. If you step back and think about it, jewelry is intertwined with so many events of state, events of faith, events of heart. The Pope, for example, wears the Fisherman's Ring, and at the passing of each Pope, that ring is shattered; a new ring is made. We're all currently fixated on the crown jewels as Charles' coronation comes up. All of that is actually jewelry. It's jewelry indicative of state, of lineage, obviously of aesthetics. The band that many of us wear on one left or right ring finger, as simple or as elaborate as it may be, that is jewelry. It's a signifier. It's also invested with tremendous emotion. Jewelry plays an enormously powerful role in culture. It's another kind of historical document. So, if we look at jewelry, we can learn things. For example, you can explore the kinds of ornament it was thought only men wore, but by actually going back and looking, as it was done in the exhibition “Golden Kingdoms,” you can see that women also wore certain kinds of major ceremonial ornament. You can learn from the inscriptions. You can learn about stylistic transmission from the aesthetics. One of the things we don't think about so much is what we leave behind. When we go and look at how we have explored previous cultures, past cultures, one of the things we see is that the documents are often what have been termed luxury arts. They are art that are made of objects that are deemed precious within a culture. They demonstrate a certain egis over resources and talent, but they also serve as documents of that culture. They tell us things about religion, about aesthetics, about faith, about ritual. We need to be thinking about that with regard to jewelry in our own age as well. What are we leaving behind? Sharon: You cover so many things in Initiatives in Art and Culture. You talk about gems and sustainability and art. It's so many things. How did you start this, and what is the conference about? Lisa: I founded Initiatives in Art and Culture in 2004. One of the reasons it was started is because I had developed a series of conferences that had, at their core, a concern for visual culture. What does visual culture tell you? Because there is much to be learned about materiality. What's it made of? How do we get those materials? And that opens the door to discussing sustainability. Then, what's done with those materials? What are the forms? What are the means of expression, whether it's three-dimensional, such as a ring, or two-dimensional, except that it really has a third dimension, however subtle it may be. So, within the category of good, better or best, what differentiates an object from another? Then taking it a step further, what does that object mean in terms of the way we use it, in terms of its place in society, in terms of what it says? Beyond that, how is it linked to the time, or does it presage the future in some way? I'm sure I've left out some foci related to political and social concerns, but it's that wholeness that is inherent in visual culture. That is the focus of what IAC does. We have deep commitment to artistry and materials as well as a commitment to responsible practice. Sharon: Several questions. Were you always interested in all of this, or is it something your professors taught you and you learned as you read? It's not the way I would look at something. I think it's really interesting. How did you start looking at this? Lisa: I was born into a family that was and remains very visually engaged and involved with art, very involved with looking. Well before I had what one might think of as a professor, I had my parents, who in effect included me in their world of looking from moment one. My experience of art, of objects, has been part of my life since the very beginning. For us, a shared experience was very often looking, whether it was going to an exhibition or a trip planned specifically to see certain things. This was very much part of my world, or the world I was lucky enough to be born into. That included the people that were friends of my parents, and that included curators and collectors and people who were very engaged in the world of looking. My mother herself is a very well-recognized either fiber artist or artist who does sculpture using wire to explore grid and void. I say that to avoid the nomenclature wars. I was very lucky to have some extraordinary teachers, but one of the best teachers I had was in high school. We reenacted the Ruskin Whistler trial. I was the attorney for Ruskin, so I had to know all about each one of the witnesses, each one of the people who appeared and testified in the trial, and that made art come alive in a way that was exceptional. Another thing was that during those years, there was something called the myth and image school. It's the idea that an era has emblems that are representative, that are invested with particular meaning. There may be a flip side to that emblem or a parallel that represents its opposite, but this idea, one which is very cross-disciplinary and often ranges through literature and art, was incredibly formative for me. This is the stuff my teachers exposed me to when I was 13, 14. I was reading these books because they had read them in school, in college, and they shared them with us. For me, going to university—I went to Johns Hopkins and did a BA/MA in history—it was, on the one hand, a new chapter and transformative, but on the other hand, it was in some ways a continuation of what I had been doing all the way along. Sharon: Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like—I've watched your conferences for a long time, and it seems that you focus on art and gems and other things. This idea of maintaining purpose and an emphasis on sustainability seems to be in the last few years. Am I incorrect? Do you just put on a conference when you think it's a really important subject and it's coming to the fore? Lisa: Sustainability is a dicey word when it comes to what exactly that means. At root, it is to survive, but in our thinking, sustainability is linked to responsible practice, which can involve how you source materials, how you make an object, what the circumstances and conditions of that making are. We actually have been interested in that since the first project. It was called “Green,” and it was in 2008. The reason that happened was there was an increasing concern with what was then called sustainability, which was often associated with the color green. We had something I definitely want to revive, which is a conference of 20 years of looking at fashion jewels, the zeitgeist of culture, photography, literature, etc. This term sustainability was being used, green was being used, and one of the things I didn't want to do was a superficial one-off. So, we decided that for the 10th year—I think it was the 10th year—of that conference, we would do something called “Green: Sustainability, Significance, and Style.” In that conference we looked at color, of course; we even looked at green diamonds, but we also looked at coral and organic material that's made into jewelry. The issues pertaining to coral were at peak interest at that point, and we did quite a lot in that conference with gold. That was the first time I worked with Toby Pomeroy, with whom I've been fortunate enough to be both friends and colleagues since then. At that point, Toby had done something that was then radical, which was to approach the refiner Hoover & Strong to see if it could be demonstrated that the materials, the scrap, that he came in with was the only material that was in the batch that was refined and that it remained segregated from everything else. That was what you might call an exploration in chain of custody, in the sense that he had a sense of origin of these materials and he wanted to ensure that he could attest to their integrity. Hoover & Strong met the challenge. At that point, Toby was making quite a lot of jewelry, and there was a term that was being used called Eco Loops. Toby has since gone on to do remarkable work with regard to mercury elimination, and he will be involved in the conference, “Maintaining Purpose,” that we are doing. With “Maintaining Purpose”—and actually with the “Green” conference, we had Mike Kowalski, who was then the chair of Tiffany, involved in the conference. There was a great deal of focus on things like land reclamation and after-mining and that sort of thing. Having said that, one thing I'd like to stress is that one of our speakers, who at that point was the head of Bono's RED, got up and said, “I know you're all wondering, ‘What's a red person doing at a green conference?'” I felt as if I had been hit over the head with pipe, because I had never thought about environmental sustainability or integrity as being isolated from social condition and well-being. Now, when you look at the 17 SDG, you'll see so many different issues broken out, but one of the things I thought was, “Gosh, we've got to do red now,” because this is a split I wasn't thinking about or perceiving. Green and red basically led to the creation of a conference. Our initial thinking was to do a conference that would look at precious substances. We did a coral conference; we did a diamond conference, which we were very privileged to do. We had wonderful support from Sally Morrison for that project. Then I woke up and realized we had never done gold, so effectively what happened is that the conference on precious substances became the Gold Conference. The Gold Conference is now entering its 13th year. We broadened gold to include gold and diamonds because we wanted to draw people's attention to stores of value, which these materials are, and also comparative approaches to things like mining, whether it's formalized or otherwise. And also because, of course, metal and stone go together. That's not to say we do not explore and include focus on other stones. We're very proud that Cruzeiro Mines, which is a tourmaline and rubellite mine from Brazil that has exemplary practices and absolutely beautiful stones, is participating in this year's conference. But the way the Gold and Diamond Conference evolved was it came to use jewelry as a lens for a 360-degree approach to the life and the issues associated with the material in question. On the one hand, you have great artistry, like Giovanni Corvaja. We were privileged to have Daniel Brush speak, whose loss I feel keenly. Every year we welcome wonderful jewelers. At the same time, we think about the issues related to extracting material or recycling material and what those words mean. What is recycling? We have repurposed since the dawn of time, so what gives something that halo of recycling? Do we have to think about what we're using? And, of course, jewelry is a created object. What are the environmental ramifications of extracting, creating the jewelry business writ large? Often in our heads, we think about jewelry and we see a craftsperson, a maker. That aspect of things is very dear to our hearts, and we're keenly interested in artisanry. At the same time, you have other aspects to this jewelry industry, large corporations that produce for particular market segments. You have the luxe maison. In some ways, they're all compatriots in a world, in other ways competitors in a world, and yet bound together by a common concern for ensuring that this world we have continues. Without this world, without this air, without this earth, we are nothing. We can't make anything. We have effaced ourselves. I think there is a point of critical mass that's been reached where there is a deep and general concern. One of the things I fear and that I hope I can help with is building community to encourage people to keep going forward despite the fears that we may have about doing something a different way. Last year our conference was “Boldly Building the Future.” How do you boldly build the future? We have many declarations that have been stated about gold, for example. There was a declaration drafted and shepherded through for the gold industry by LBMA and the World Gold Council. They have principles. Principles are not blueprints. How do you get from that vision, the abstract vision, to its implementation? How do you transform? We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to TheJewelryJourney.com to check them out.

We're very proud that Cruzeiro Mines, which is a tourmaline and rubellite mine from Brazil that has exemplary practices and absolutely beautiful stones, is participating in this year's conference.    But the way the Gold and Diamond Conference evolved was it came to use jewelry as a lens for a 360-degree approach to the life and the issues associated with the material in question. On the one hand, you have great artistry, like Giovanni Corvaja. We were privileged to have Daniel Brush speak, whose loss I feel keenly. Every year we welcome wonderful jewelers. At the same time, we think about the issues related to extracting material or recycling material and what those words mean. What is recycling? We have repurposed since the dawn of time, so what gives something that halo of recycling? Do we have to think about what we're using? And, of course, jewelry is a created object. What are the environmental ramifications of extracting, creating the jewelry business writ large? Often in our heads, we think about jewelry and we see a craftsperson, a maker. That aspect of things is very dear to our hearts, and we're keenly interested in artisanry. At the same time, you have other aspects to this jewelry industry, large corporations that produce for particular market segments. You have the luxe maison.    In some ways, they're all compatriots in a world, in other ways competitors in a world, and yet bound together by a common concern for ensuring that this world we have continues. Without this world, without this air, without this earth, we are nothing. We can't make anything. We have effaced ourselves. I think there is a point of critical mass that's been reached where there is a deep and general concern. One of the things I fear and that I hope I can help with is building community to encourage people to keep going forward despite the fears that we may have about doing something a different way. Last year our conference was “Boldly Building the Future.” How do you boldly build the future? We have many declarations that have been stated about gold, for example. There was a declaration drafted and shepherded through for the gold industry by LBMA and the World Gold Council. They have principles. Principles are not blueprints. How do you get from that vision, the abstract vision, to its implementation? How do you transform?   We will have photos posted on the website.

#AndySchectman: #SilverPremiums Are Lowest Since 2020 #Silver premiums went to some of the highest levels in history towards the end of 2022. Although in the end of the year, and into 2023 they've dropped to the lowest levels since 2020 reports Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin. While the premiums on the American silver eagles still remain elevated, the premiums on almost all of the other silver products have continued to stay low, even as sales volume has picked up over the past week. Andy reports that the lowest of the premiums remains on the 10 and 100 ounce bars, and that's what many of his customers who are just looking for the best deal have been gravitating towards. He also talks about what's entailed if people ever want to sell their metals back. Which is a question that doesn't get talked about as much, but is good to be cognizant of. And to finish off the call, Andy talks about some of the larger macro flows in the gold and silver world on the COMEX and LBMA.
