From paper to physical: Zang says real supply-and-demand is taking back control

This week’s market moves have sent a clear warning across the financial system. Japan’s signal that it may raise interest rates rattled global debt markets, pushing bond yields sharply higher and unsettling investors who have long relied on cheap yen to fund trades worldwide.

At the same time, gold and silver have surged, with retail demand hitting record levels according to the latest report from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. A sign that everyday investors are shifting rapidly toward hard assets.

Economist and market analyst Lynette Zang says these disruptions are not isolated events, but early signs of a deeper shift in the global monetary system — and she explains why gold and silver may still be dramatically undervalued.
