Wealthion continues its August Silver Interview Series with The Market Sniper, Francis Hunt. His message is clear: silver’s time is here.

In this powerful conversation with Wealthion’s Trey Reik, Hunt warns that the global debt crisis is spiraling into a full reset, but also explains why silver may be on the verge of its most important breakout in decades. He shows how silver could soon slingshot past $40, break through $50, and race toward triple-digit territory, all driven by fiat debasement, surging industrial demand, and tightening supply.

Francis doesn’t just share his views, he walks us through his technical and chart analysis on screen, breaking down silver, gold, the U.S. Dollar, and more in detail. His analysis reveals both the short-term risks of pullbacks and the long-term explosive potential for precious metals.
