Silver’s Sharp Pullback Raises Bigger Questions About the Global Economy

Published: Sun, 03/15/26

Silver had a volatile week, and it raised some important questions about where the broader market may be headed.

In the latest Weekly Perspective, David Morgan breaks down the sharp move in the silver market during the week ending March 13. Silver dropped roughly ten dollars in a single week, falling from around $90 to below $80. While the move surprised many investors, Morgan explains that a short-term decline does not necessarily change the longer-term outlook. A large sell order appears to have triggered much of the move, though the exact source has not yet been confirmed.

Morgan also addresses an issue that deserves attention within the precious metals industry. He explains that he has been offered substantial money to promote certain IRA companies he considers questionable, and he cautions investors to be careful about who they trust when moving retirement funds into metals. Instead, he emphasizes working with reputable dealers who maintain transparent pricing and strong integrity in the business.

The update also references a recent discussion featuring Dana Samuelson, Andy Schectman, Russ Gray, and others that focused on how the COMEX metals exchange actually operates. Morgan explains that COMEX is primarily a derivatives market structured around paper contracts rather than large-scale physical withdrawals of metal. While some commentators claim exchanges are on the verge of running out of silver, historical data suggests that inventory levels and metal flows have remained relatively stable over many years.

Morgan also discusses claims that the London Bullion Market Association or COMEX could collapse due to metal shortages. Referencing commentary from Bob Coleman and data compiled by analyst Nick Laird of GoldChartsRUs, he explains that metal often moves between exchanges based on arbitrage opportunities and price differences. Although metal does flow in and out of exchanges, the majority of activity occurs within the system rather than through large physical withdrawals.

Finally, Morgan highlights a positive development for sound money advocates. A Maryland Senate committee recently passed legislation to eliminate sales tax on gold and silver purchases, a step supporters believe moves precious metals closer to being treated as money rather than taxable commodities.

Are You Positioned for the New Reality?

We are no longer in a normal bull market; we have entered an "acceleration mode" where prices are seeking a new reality to compensate for decades of artificial restraint. See the graphic above in full size.

Gold hits above $4,500 and has held that level for months. Silver has pushed above $75 in the same pattern. Anyone who has followed my work knew this move was coming. Central banks shifted out of dollars. They bought gold by the ton. Silver demand surged across industry, technology, and investment. Many banks are buying Silver right now! Inflation stayed high. Confidence in US fiscal policy weakened. The direction was clear.

Higher precious metals prices.

That is exactly what unfolded. Gold climbed to record highs. Silver broke resistance levels it held for years and broke new highs.

But the real opportunity was never the metals alone. It has always been the companies that dig them out of the ground. Their costs stayed stable while margins widened. Their earnings moved higher quarter after quarter. The strongest gold and silver miners, with no debt and steady cash flow, have already returned 4x, 5x, even 10x.

Yet many still trade as if the cycle never changed.

That gap will not stay open. The market still acts as if gold will fall back to $1,800 and silver to the teens, even while these companies post record results. Earnings rise each quarter at gold above $4,200 and silver above $50.

You are looking at a market that has not recognized the new reality.

Silver producers show the same setup as gold miners. Strong margins. Strong cash flow. Cheap share prices. They fall on small pullbacks even though the businesses stay healthy. That disconnect is rare and powerful.

This is exactly where The Morgan Report focuses its attention.

We identify the strongest companies early. We look for clean balance sheets, smart leadership, proven assets, and profits at the bottom of the cycle. You get the information before the crowd arrives.

Here is an example. Three of our top producers we highlighted are up over 1,000 percent. many doubled fast, doubled again, then kept climbing.

Even after that move, they are still a buy. These are the setups that can change your financial future.

There are more. The next wave is already forming and has not caught up with physical gold and silver prices.

Inside The Morgan Report you will see:

Now is the time to act. Both gold and silver have entered a new phase. The next wave of investors will chase the miners after they move. That is when gains shrink and late buyers scramble.

You want your position set before that rush.
