The London precious metals market is seeing significant outflows, with 10 million ounces of gold leaving the Bank of England vaults and 130 million ounces of silver withdrawn from London vaults since December. Listen to David Jensen & Craig Hemke break down the latest market data and trends:

Why the Bank of England is leasing gold;

Rising Concerns about the actual state of London’s gold reserves and whether they can sustain long-term demand;

Silver lease rates have jumped to 20%—a historic high, indicating that supply is extremely tight;

February saw an all-time high of 77,000 gold contracts settled for physical delivery on the COMEX. Why are more investors demanding physical gold now?

Despite these shifts, central banks still control much of the gold market through leasing, while the silver supply remains under pressure without central bank reserves to stabilize it.
