Money Metals Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey isn’t buying the recent bearish turn in gold forecasts from Wall Street. In this week’s podcast, he pushes back against the prevailing optimism in financial markets and lays out a compelling, data-backed case for why gold...

Calls to bring Germany’s gold home are growing, and now voices in Italy are urging that country’s government to do the same.

While most of the attention in the precious metals world is focused on gold and silver, we've seen some interesting trading activity in the platinum market this year.

The Silver/Gold ratio trades, my name for a wider commodity rally, are on the cusp of another leg up. You could call them “inflation trades”, but the post-2021 phase and its heavy inflationary effects * saw commodities generally trend downward as hawkish Fed policy...

We last wrote two months ago that Gold would undergo a correction that could set up an accelerated leg higher. Gold has held up very well over the past few months, consolidating in a bullish manner.

Bloomberg has finally published an article on covert central bank gold buying (mainly by China)—a topic about which I have been disseminating evidence since February 2023.

The recent weakness in the US dollar has reignited the debate over the durability of the dollar’s dominance in global finance. Over the first half of the year, the Bloomberg Dollar Index has fallen nearly 8.5 percent, marking one of the sharpest declines since the...

Amazingly we're almost halfway through 2025, and it's safe to say that the first half had no shortage of activity for the financial markets. But after everything we've seen, including this week's selloff, what can you expect in the second half of the year?

In the last couple days we started to see gold weaken a bit, and miners have sold off a bit. Precious metals, and gold stocks specifically, remain in a correction, and I just wanted to give you an update for the current correction in gold.

If so, what could make it actually rally?... In yesterday’s article entitled Trump’s Art of the USD, I wrote that the Peak Chaos was likely reached and now the markets are likely to react to even moderate levels of chaos as if the latter was gone, or low. On top of...

Should the cost of storing physical gold and silver deter people from considering precious metals as an investment option? Idaho Governor Brad Little thought so.

If I had told you that Israel and Iran went to war and escalated that war throughout this past week, I am sure you would have expected gold to have rallied quite strongly.   Well, the truth is that gold ended the week lower than where it sat before the start of this...

Matthew Piepenburg, partner at VON GREYERZ, joins Thoughtful Money’s Adam Taggart to underscore, in no uncertain terms, that every headline thread—from markets, inflation/deflation and credit risk to social unrest, geopolitical war drums and failed tariff policies-...

Precious metals have been on a tear this year and that is no surprise considering the current political climate south of the 49th parallel, and the geopolitical tensions throughout the globe, particularly Israel-Iran missile strikes and the ongoing war between...

The worst-performing precious metal for the past week was gold, down 2.01%. Gold is set for a weekly decline as easing Middle East tensions and the Fed’s inflation warnings have dampened safe-haven demand and lowered expectations for rate cuts. Despite the pullback...

Price discovery for precious metals is complicated. There are several different markets for gold and silver. These markets include the retail bullion market, the London spot market, and the COMEX futures market.

After setting a record just over $3,500 an ounce in April, gold has consolidated and traded sideways since, and there is some bearish sentiment seeping into the market.

In a wide-ranging interview on the Money Metals podcast, host Mike Maharrey spoke with Philip Newman, Managing Director and founding partner of Metals Focus, one of the most trusted independent research firms in the global precious metals space.

The US did go ahead with its strikes on Iran on Saturday (although reports of how much damage was actually done are mixed).
