In this interview, David Morgan speaks with Jan Skoyles of GoldCore about the outlook for gold and silver, central bank demand, physical bullion ownership, and growing concerns about the stability of the global financial system. Their discussion highlights an important distinction between short-term market speculation and the long-term reasons investors hold precious metals.
Despite recent volatility and significant selling in the paper markets, physical demand for gold and silver remains resilient. According to Skoyles, many investors have viewed price declines as buying opportunities rather than reasons to abandon their holdings. Central banks also continue to provide substantial support for gold, purchasing the metal as part of broader reserve diversification strategies. Although individual central banks may eventually slow their purchases, Skoyles sees little evidence of a dramatic reversal in the overall trend, particularly given continuing uncertainty surrounding fiat currencies and global monetary policy.
The conversation also examines the practical realities of owning physical precious metals. Skoyles emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between allocated, pooled, and unallocated bullion, particularly when using third-party vaulting services. Investors should verify legal ownership, independent audits, insurance coverage, storage jurisdictions, and delivery procedures. The discussion also addresses Europe's value-added taxes on physical silver, which can discourage direct ownership and contribute to GoldCore's approximately 75% gold and 25% silver sales mix by value.
Looking beyond precious metals, Morgan and Skoyles express concern about the interconnected vulnerabilities of today's financial system. They discuss currency instability, geopolitical tensions, supply-chain disruptions, and society's increasing dependence on systems that may not function reliably during a crisis. Skoyles argues that too many people expect a return to normal conditions without recognizing that recurring financial and geopolitical disruptions may represent a lasting change. Nevertheless, she remains bullish on precious metals heading into 2027, anticipating renewed upward momentum toward the end of 2026. While she does not expect average 2027 prices to exceed $5,000 for gold or $60 for silver, she believes the underlying conditions remain favorable for long-term investors.
