Fed Cornered Again
Silver Nutshell
May 13, 2025
Good morning, metalheads. It’s time to melt some narratives. Silver Nutshell – May 13, 2025 …
We're the precious metals newsletter that hits harder than inflation at a grocery store and shines brighter than a Fed chair under cross-examination. 🔥
What we’ve cooked up for you today…
🥇 Gold eyes new highs
🥈 Silver’s industrial boom
📉 Fed’s “no-cut” corner trap
🧮 Inflation lies vs. reality
📊 Prices at 4:05 AM ET – May 13, 2025
Gold: $3,252.16/oz
Silver: $33.04/oz
Gold/Silver Ratio: 98.4
THE FED IS STUCK 🏦
BREAKING: Fed freezes rates at 4.25%–4.50% for the fourth straight time.
But here’s the real headline: They’re cornered.
The Fed says inflation is "sticky" but growth is slipping — a classic stagflation signal. While Powell insists "now is not the time to cut," the markets are calling the bluff.
Sound familiar?
It should — precious metals love these conditions. Just like 1979.
“The Fed’s message is clear: They’re waiting for a reason to print. That’s bullish for gold, silver, and anything real.”
GOLD’S GUT CHECK 💰
Gold hit $3,252 today — just a whisper away from breaking its all-time high again.
Why? Because real yield suppression is coming. Central banks are cornering themselves, and institutional demand is quietly ramping.
Don’t let the silence fool you — gold is no longer a contrarian play. It’s becoming base layer money again.
“This isn’t a rally. It’s a regime shift.”

SILVER’S SILENT SQUEEZE 🧃
Silver just hit $33.04/oz — and supply is looking thinner than a central banker’s credibility.
Industrial demand? Surging.
Investment demand? Growing.
New supply? Shrinking.
“The silver market isn’t small. It’s microscopic. When capital floods in, it moves like dynamite.”
Over 65% of mined silver is used in industry, not investment — and that demand is climbing thanks to solar, EVs, and defense tech. It’s a recipe for a historic squeeze.
INFLATION NUMBERS: DO YOU TRUST THEM? 🧨
Official U.S. inflation: 2.4%
Real inflation (Truflation estimate): 6.8%
See the disconnect?
That’s why gold and silver keep climbing even as CPI reports look tame. Markets are pricing reality, not fiction.
