re: Silver Bugs thread: Silver up 12% for the week on Black Friday started the journey

Samsung is working on a solid state lithium battery for EVs that will require a kilogram of silver per battery.
C’mon, do people believe that? Everyone complains that EV batteries are already $20k and they only have a couple ounces of silver. In what scenario do people opt for the upgraded battery that requires 35oz of silver?

From what Samsung has said, I guess it would be people that want a 600-mile range from a 9-minute charge.

I don’t disagree they need silver. But, any battery that needs two pounds of silver is DOA. People stopped buying EVs after they couldn’t get a tax credit. No mainstream consumer will buy one if a single precious metal adds $3-5k to the build cost.
I do find the thought of silver bugs single handedly killing the EV industry pretty entertaining.

I am not privy to their plans or requirements. It doesn't make any difference to me. I have a Tundra. It will last longer than me.

The worries about Japan's inflation, bond sale, election, etc., are putting a hammer down on everything. I think metal's pain is short term. It may not sky like it has been, but it will not feel the same pain as stocks will if Japan's bond sale goes south.

This is about Trump’s fed chair pick.

I wouldn’t regret that pickup at all. Im definitely buying over the next few days. Good opportunity to increase physical holdings for me. I’ve got a ways to go to catch you guys there.

It is. And the funny thing is that his pick will drive PM prices UP when he continues Trump policy: printing money with nothing to back it.
You can’t take water out of one end of the pool. What’s coming is physics, and there are rules in physics.

Allegedly Warsh wants to draw down the balance sheet more aggressively. I’ll be genuinely impressed if he accomplishes that without crashing the economy. The banking system was starting to crack again when Powell ended QT late last year.
I think the idea that he can engineer that is nonsense but it would absolutely be a headwind for asset prices if he could do it.

Warsh is hugely against QE

Same. A problem right now is that PMs are behaving ultra-hedgily, meaning that demand for treasuries are likely dropping (watch for an increase in the 10yr) as investors turn away from the USD. If this continues, auctions may become more and more dependent on the Fed riding to the rescue (which is the opposite of what Warsh wants to do).
If an auction fails, especially because the Fed doesn't step in, the USD's value is going to drop like a lead balloon.

That’s because he knows that the Fed is already out of ammunition … they are trapped.

Trump picked a guy against QE? Isn't that what Trump has been cheerleading for? That and lowering rates?
