Jan. 19/26 Update to Silver Purchases

Site icon for Guardian Gold

We are Buying ONLY SELECT Silver Until Further Notice

January 19, 2026

As of today we are now purchasing:

  • All silver bullion from LBMA certified makers.
  • 50 Ounce and smaller bullion from non-LBMA makers.

Our silver refining partners in Canada have temporarily frozen their payment mechanisms. This is a global issue in response to current market stressors. Elevated lease rates on silver have now made it impossible for Guardian to settle transactions under normal terms.

At this time we cannot purchase these silver products:

  • Jewellery
  • Silver flatware, tableware, and collectible items
  • Any Coinage
  • Non-LBMA certified makers bullion larger than 50 oz

These are temporary measures. Unfortunately, we cannot predict when circumstances will change, however, we will review this policy as conditions stabilize. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

Geopolitics

All eyes remain firmly fixed on Ukraine again this week. Gold has slipped a bit from Friday’s close on word that French leader Macron may have brokered a summit meeting between Putin and Biden. The buildup of troops on the Ukraine border is now thought to be numbering 150,000. War games between Russia and Belarus were scheduled to end yesterday but have now been extended indefinitely. It is thought that the Russians have committed approximately 60% of their forces so far.

Peace is far from breaking out at the moment. If rhetoric is an indicator that things are much closer to hostilities than not. Diplomatic missions are closing down in Kyiv. Western airlines are cancelling flights to Kyiv and adjusting flight paths to avoid Ukraine airspace. Foreign nationals are being told to leave Ukraine while they can as they might not be able to if fighting starts.

Supply chain shortages continue to affect global trade and energy prices as most of the northern hemisphere goes through the winter months. This factor

This week could be critical in the grand scheme of things. One thing that no one can control is the weather. Spring will soon be becoming to the Ukraine steps and that will make moving heavy military equipment a logistical nightmare when the ground is no longer frozen.

If hostilities start gold and silver will rally strongly. If a peaceful resolution comes about, gold and silver will see a big sell-off.

Last Week in Review

Both gold and silver had similar trading patterns last week taking a drubbing on Monday and rallying over the rest of the week. These kinds of mirrored movements indicate the level of fear that has permeated the markets.
