I have used this line from Sherlock Holmes previously, and it is appropriate, once again. While we did get a small pullback yesterday in the metals after the 30 day pause was announced, it wasn’t the usual smackdown we would have expected based on past manipulative behavior.

Either the bankster shorts have changed their playbook, or they are saving a smackdown for somewhere in the future. I would say they covered a large amount of their shorts back around and below, $30 on silver. What the lack of a significant pullback in gold and silver prices means, is the tariffs were only a small part of what is driving prices higher. So even if the tariffs never get implemented, (which I hinted at yesterday) the metals are going higher.
