Gold, Silver & the Core Signals of an Evolving Global Financial Crisis

In this latest interview with Jesse Day at Commodity CultureMatthew Piepenburg, Partner at VON GREYERZ, breaks down the critical forces reshaping an increasingly fragile global financial system. 

The conversation opens with silver’s longer-term trajectory, all of which remains intact despite short-term price volatility in 2026. Piepenburg further addresses how conflict in the Middle East is distorting – yet not defining – gold’s ultimate and secular price direction north.

Piepenburg then examines why rising bond yields are among the most important warning signals of a systemic economic crisis ahead. Meanwhile, U.S. stocks continue toward unprecedented overvaluation and unprecedented risk, the timing of which is far less important than its preparation.

Matt began his finance career as a transactional attorney before launching his first hedge fund during the NASDAQ bubble of 1999-2001

Thereafter, he began investing his own and other HNW family funds into alternative investment vehicles while operating as a General Counsel, CIO and later Managing Director of a single and multi-family office. Matthew worked closely as well with Morgan Stanley’s hedge fund platform in building a multi-strat/multi-manager fund to better manage risk in a market backdrop of extreme central bank intervention/support. The conviction that precious metals provides the most reliable and longer-term protection against potential systemic risk led Matt to join VON GREYERZ.
