Silver is up more than 40% over the past 12 months – outpacing gold and nearly every major asset class. Now, a new grassroots movement online is reigniting the silver narrative. Dubbed Silver Squeeze 2.0, social media users are calling for a mass physical silver buy on March 31, claiming the market is rigged and ripe for disruption.
Is this a real market threat – or just online noise?
In this interview, Peter Krauth, author of The Great Silver Bull and Editor of Silver Stock Investor, joins Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron to break down what’s really happening. Krauth outlines how over 223 million ounces of silver are short – nearly 25% of annual mine supply – and why “the market is tight” with rising lease rates and depleted inventories.
Krauth warns, “If we get a surge in investment demand, there’s less physical silver available than there used to be.” He also explains silver’s long-term breakout potential, manipulation tactics in futures markets, and why $50 silver may not be far off.
Key Topics:
– What is Silver Squeeze 2.0?
– Why March 31 could matter
– Are bullion banks manipulating silver?
– Why lease rates signal tight supply
– How tariffs and trade risk are affecting silver flows
– Price targets: Could silver hit $50… or even $300?
