The Biggest Derivative Shock Since 2008 Feat. Craig Hemke
In this week's Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire reviews what he calls the largest derivative-driven intervention since 2008 before welcoming Craig Hemke, highlighting extreme margin hikes and record bid–offer spreads that hid severe shortages.
Despite the engineered sell-off, Shanghai premiums stayed high, speculative positions were cleared, and institutional buying continued, reinforcing Andrew’s view that gold and silver remain on track within a strong bull market amid currency debasement.
