Blog posts of '2026' 'January'

At ASI last Friday, phones were ringing off the hook.

Investors were clamoring to take advantage of a nearly 10% dip in gold and nearly 30% in silver.

It's a welcome change from other steep drops in this bull market, which had far fewer clients reacting to big opportunities.

Investors are starting to recognize something...

It's something we've been saying all along.

But the most recent rally has finally garnered enough attention for it to click.

With gold trading near all‑time highs, investors who stay on the sidelines risk missing the bigger story.

Today’s record prices are not a reason to avoid gold—they’re a signal of deep, structural stress in the global financial system. Persistent inflation, rising geopolitical risk, ballooning government debt, and ongoing concerns around global currencies are all driving investors toward tangible stores of value.

In other words, gold isn’t just going up. It’s repricing the risk in the system.

Gold at All‑Time Highs Can Still Be a Smart Entry Point

• New Floors, Not Just New Highs
  Historically, when gold breaks through previous highs during periods of monetary and geopolitical uncertainty, it often establishes a higher long‑term floor—not a short‑lived spike. Investors who wait for “the perfect dip” frequently end up buying later at higher levels, or not at all. Don't be like them.

• Diversification When You Need It Most
  Portfolios concentrated in stocks, bonds, and other paper assets are increasingly exposed to interest rate policy, political decisions, and market volatility. Adding a measured allocation of physical gold can help stabilize long‑term retirement savings and reduce overall portfolio risk.

• Protection Against Currency and Policy Risk
  Persistent erosion of purchasing power and aggressive fiscal policy are precisely the conditions under which gold has historically shined. Buying when gold is confirming its role as a global store of value—rather than fighting the trend—can be a rational, disciplined move.

• Demand from Institutions and Central Banks
  Central banks and institutional buyers continue to accumulate gold to strengthen reserves and reduce dependence on any single currency. That steady demand creates a powerful underlying support for prices, even at or near record levels.

The Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR), which reflects the amount of silver its takes to purchase one ounce of gold, has completely reversed over the last six months. But that's not the full story...

For silver, the sky is the limit.

Silver spot prices increased 141% last year and silver is still surging.

Less than a month into 2026, silver has DOUBLED the record spot price from the previous bull market in 2011.

It has gained more than 44% so far this month.

And last week it smashed through $100 an oz.

Analysts say this is just the beginning.

Don't wait to buy silver. Take advantage of silver at these levels—call ASI at 1-800-831-0007 or email us today.

And don't forget about gold as it reaches above $5,100 an oz.

Retails investors are finally starting to pour into precious metals as a safe haven for global tensions and in anticipation of further U.S. interest rate cuts later in the year. Silver's faster rise is due to supply shortages as manufacturers rush to meet the increase in demand. Silver is a more thinly traded market, so price moves tend to swing wider than the gold market.

Investors should be making sure they have BOTH. 

We're still offering one of the best deals for physical silver available now...

In today’s environment of persistent inflation, currency uncertainty, and elevated market volatility, leaving your portfolio anchored solely to paper assets is a risk you do not have to take.

A year ago, they would be calling us crazy for even suggesting it.

Then, silver spot prices increased 141% last year after rising 21% in 2024.

And silver is still surging.

Only two weeks into the new year, silver is already up roughly 20%.

Gold has climbed slower and steadier, resulting in a Gold-Silver Ratio around 50 to 1. The narrowing of the Gold-Silver Ratio is typically a sign of the top, and investors are starting to ask if the peak is in sight.

Yet, none of the other key technical indicators are showing signs of a peak.

It's true that the current surge won't last forever, but the long-term fundamentals for upward momentum are firmly in place.

Here's why silver is going to keep going up in 2026:

• Anticipated future interest rate cuts

• Chinese export restrictions on silver

• Rising industrial demand, such as AI data centers

• 5+ year silver mining supply deficit

• Persistent geopolitical uncertainty

Based on silver's recent performance, analysts are already changing their forecasts for 2026, with some predicting it will potentially rise well into the $350-400 range by mid-2026. $200 silver is comparatively conservative as far as estimates go.

So don't wait to buy silver.

Take advantage of the light dip silver went under this week as U.S. held off on a tariff on critical minerals.

Alert: get ready to buy this dip!

The annual rebalancing window is open.

From January 8 to 15, funds that track commodity indices are expected to sell about $6.1 billon in silver and $5.6 billion in gold.

Benchmark commodity indices have to rebalance their weightings once a year to maintain target allocation levels. The funds that track these indices have to buy or sell holdings as a result.

It's all going down this week.

Most years, the market impact is minimal, but the massive price action in gold and silver in the last few months of 2025 means that this sell-off could have a huge, but short-lived impact on precious metals spot prices.

So if you have been waiting for dip, this is likely it.

Last year, during the 2025 rebalancing window, this enforced selling was met with even greater buying, boosting spot prices after the rebalancing window closes.

"Gregory Shearer, an analyst at JPMorgan, said silver would see the biggest sales of any commodity during the rebalancing. He estimates net selling of silver equivalent to about 10 per cent of the value of all the open derivatives contracts on trading venue Comex," according to this Financial Times article.

Silver rose 141% last year, with most of that movement in November and December, so silver is likely to dip significantly on this index sell-off before rising to new record highs, if historical patterns hold true. With that in mind, we're offering special pricing on 5 oz. America the Beautiful silver coins.

Got silver?

Silver soared 24% in December alone, building on gains of 19% in November and 3.3% in October.

In total, silver climbed 141% last year.  Check out the chart below to marvel at silver's outstanding 2025 performance.

Silver was one of the best performing assets in 2025.

It hit its final peak last Monday, cracking $83.62 an oz., then backed down before the ball dropped on December 31st, ending the year around $70.

But it hasn't stopped there.

Silver's rally has extended into the new year, kicking off 2026 with a surge upwards. And there are no signs of stopping.

Investors betting on further interest rate cuts and acting on safe haven demand have extended silver's 2025 rally into January.

Plus, silver industrial demand is battling against a sustained supply deficit.

2025 was a great time to own silver, but 2026 is offering an excellent opportunity to take advantage of silver's positive price action.
