Silver This Week – Higher
Silver has been slowly moving up since 2025 began. After an up month in Jan. It had a flat month in Feb. and is up for the first two weeks of March. It looks and feels ready to attack the previous high around $35.
This week the FED meets and is expected to pause again. Despite having discussed the likelihood that they would be ending QT soon, very few are talking about it happening this week. I expect Powell to announce that on Wed.
Silver is strong and I expect it to continue higher, regardless of what the FED does or doesn’t, do or say. If it breaks out and runs after the meeting, commentators will say that is why and it certainly won’t hurt, but it will do so anyway. The FED and govt. officials often use announcements and data releases to explain inevitable market moves.
Armstrong very very bullish on all the metals for buy op in May. 40 minute mark if u wish.

The last meeting minutes said “survey respondents” expect QT to end by June, iirc, which the Fed noted was later than previously believed.
The fact that they mentioned this survey response regarding QT expectations seems like it could be the Fed’s way of greasing the skids for an actual end to QT.
Who knows at this point. I originally thought years ago that they would never be able to raise interest rates or do QT, and I was 100% wrong about that. What has amazed me is the Fed’s ability to “kite checks” through repo and reverse repo facilities and vehicles like the bank term funding program which loaned money to insolvent regional banks.
No one seems to notice that gold closed above $3,000 today.
I noticed, and so did my shares…
