Silver’s Supply Crisis: COMEX Halted, CFTC Gutted & Physical Taking Over | David Morgan

With silver at $86 and gold above $5,100, David Morgan, founder of The Morgan Report, returns to Wealthion to reveal what's breaking inside the silver market. Morgan walks through the mechanics of January's 70% spike and sharp reversal, the suspicious COMEX trading halt that settled half of open interest over the counter, and the CFTC's loss of all enforcement attorneys in its Chicago office. He explains why physical silver demand is finally overpowering paper derivatives, why Shanghai has become the real price-setter with a persistent $10 arbitrage gap, and why retail dealer spreads have blown out to $25. Morgan also covers the impact of new 401(k) precious metals rules, a potential U.S. government silver stockpile, and why mining shares remain deeply undervalued for investors looking to gain exposure.
