Gold & War: From Headwinds to Massive Tailwinds

In this latest clip, Matthew Piepenburg, Partner at VON GREYERZ, reflects on the longer-term trajectory of physical gold, setting aside the noise of current headlines and market volatility to focus on the broader realities of debt and currency debasement.

At a time when war dominates the narrative and gold appears under pressure, many are asking the wrong question. The focus should not be on price, but on the forces behind it.

As Matthew explains, gold’s recent pullback is not a contradiction but a clear consequence of a system under stress. Forced selling, rising energy costs, and a temporary strength in the US dollar are clouding the bigger picture. But beneath this volatility, the long-term drivers remain unchanged and rotten.

This is not the first time gold has been misunderstood in the fog of crisis. Nor will it be the last. But for those who take a longer-term view, moments like these have historically defined opportunity, not risk.

Watch the full clip now to understand where gold is heading & why this moment matters more than it appears.

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.

The author of the Amazon No#1 Release, Rigged to Fail, Matt is fluent in French, German and English; he is a graduate of Brown (BA), Harvard (MA) and the University of Michigan (JD).
