Silver bar resting on a dark slate surface in front of a calendar with July 28 and 29 circled in red marked FOMC Meeting, with oil refinery flames visible in the background — silver price today rising despite oil surge as FOMC hold probability shields the metal from inflation pressure.

Silver Is Up 1.5% Today. Oil Is Up 3%. Those Two Moves Shouldn’t Coexist. Here’s Why They Do.

Silver rose 1.55% today even as crude oil surged 3% on fresh U.S.-Iran airstrikes — the inverse of what the standard oil-inflation-hike chain predicts. The reason: the July 29 FOMC hold is already priced above 85%, neutralizing today's oil move as a rate catalyst. Here is the exact mechanism behind the broken correlation....

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
