Silver just broke the $50 mark last week, and it’s stirring up the biggest buzz the bullion market’s seen in decades. From London’s sudden silver shortage to record-breaking lease rates, the pressure behind this move is unlike anything since the Warren Buffett era. Gold’s holding strong near $4,000, and demand from both investors and industry is pushing supply to its limits. Listen now as senior analyst James Anderson breaks down what’s really driving this historic silver surge—and what it means for everyday Americans watching from the sidelines.   Silver hit a historic milestone: Silver officially closed above $50 an ounce 10/10/2025 — the highest nominal weekly close ever in U.S. dollars. It’s a major psychological mark the market’s been eyeing for years. London’s running short on big silver bars: 1,000-ounce bars — the kind traded between banks and refiners — are in tight supply. Lease rates in London skyrocketed to levels not seen since Warren Buffett’s silver play back in 1998.
