In this monthly wrap-up, Craig Hemke for Sprott Money is joined by Bob Thompson, senior portfolio manager at Raymond James in Vancouver, to break down the massive macro trends reshaping the gold and silver markets in early 2026. With BMO now forecasting a silver price of $150 and a gold price bull case of $6,300, this conversation reveals how Western investors are only just beginning to understand the shift already well underway in the East. Bob and Craig discuss ETF flows, the underappreciated leverage in mining stocks, and a capital-rotation event that could inject billions into the sector. From the TSX Venture to the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, and from central bank gold accumulation to generalist investor hesitation, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
