In the year since Donald Trump’s “liberation day” in April 2025—on which he began raising import taxes on Americans —1.2 million fewer Americans are now working, and inflation-adjusted hourly earnings are still below where they were in 2021.
Here are today's videos and charts.
This intermediate term correction in gold and silver just got a lot more serious. And I'm going to tell you why. I'm also going to tell you when the next buy signal is coming for gold, silver, and the miners and where. The key development now for precious metals and...

With the recent action in the Gold market, we will take a look at the current cyclical position in the metal, as well as a quick look at the U.S. stock market.
Again, this week the S&P500, and the big NASDAQ Indexes made not one, but three new all-time highs, as the Dow Jones continues failing to generate a new all-time high since its last on February 10th. What is going on here? This is so bizarre, seeing the S&...
“The trend is your friend.” ‘Tis a time-honoured truism of liquid markets. And as has basically been the case for these past two months — after Gold in mid-winter flirted about in the 5000s — its “trend” on balance has been down.
Two successful professionals—one a semi-retired entrepreneur, the other a top attorney—both had the intelligence and capital to manage their own investments. Yet both watched their portfolios suffer devastating losses, despite doing everything conventional wisdom told them to do...

The major gold miners just reported a truly-superlative-defying quarter, their best ever achieved by far. Q1’s spectacular record gold prices translated into record revenues, record unit profits, record bottom-line earnings, and record operating cash flows among...
Metals and miners are taking a breather after a strong start to May. Continued downside follow-through next week, combined with rising Treasury yields, would suggest the bounce is over and prices are likely heading toward our projected mid-year lows.
In the latest episode of the Money Metals Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey challenged the optimistic mainstream narrative surrounding the U.S. economy, arguing that beneath strong headline numbers lies a far more troubling inflationary and monetary reality.
Oil is approaching one of those moments where the next big move may be decided. After last week’s rebound, both WTI and Brent are now caught between powerful support and resistance zones. Buyers have managed to stabilize prices, but they still haven’t delivered the...
Lower taxes and spending are good for the economy. They produce strong expansion and will “grow” the country out of deficits. These were some of the Trump Administration promises. Those were also the promises of the GOP in the late 1970s in the runup to the election of...
In July 2024, India slashed its import tax on gold and silver from 15 percent to 6 percent. This week, the Indian government reversed course, hiking the customs duty back to 15 percent.
Let us begin with a number that the financial media has chosen, with characteristic cowardice, to bury beneath triumphant headlines about a resilient labor market: 55,000. That is the average monthly job growth in the United States over the past six months. Fifty-five...

There is something almost absurd about a government minting money at a loss. A coin—the most basic unit—becomes instead a confession, not just of inefficiency, but of a deeper fracture between what money is supposed to represent and what it has become.
The dollar is attempting to reclaim lost ground and is now battling with a major resistance cluster that includes last week’s bearish gap and an active island reversal pattern. At the same time, gold has started to show the first meaningful signs of very short-term...
My overarching theme, in the form of a prediction, all of last year was that the Trump Tariffs would take down the US economy and the dollar and cause a significant rise in inflation. I also said we wouldn’t see that happen in any obvious way until the final quarter of...

Today’s session feels like a classic “prove it” moment. Across the dollar and the precious metals, several markets are pressing directly against major support and resistance zones, but none of them has delivered a decisive breakout… just yet. And that makes today’s...
A commonly-held view is that money has value because the government in power says so. For other commentators, the value of money is established because money is accepted. But why is it accepted? Well, because it is accepted!
Are we in the early stages of a fundamental shift in global monetary history? Analysts at Deutsche Bank Research Institute think we are. They see a future where the dollar plays a much smaller role.
According to CNBC, the stock market is not ignoring the Iran War or the sustained soaring of oil prices. Stocks are rising due to magnificent economic reasons! The article, itself, will someday become a classic study of insanely deranged justifications for the market’s...

April CPI came in hot this morning. Headline: 3.8% year-over-year, above the 3.7% consensus. Core: 2.8%, above the 2.7% consensus. Both beat expectations. Oil is back above $100. Gold is falling. Silver is falling after yesterday's 5%+ surge. The dollar is firming.
In the currency market, Tuesdays are often (but not always) a positive day for government fiat against gold and… today is Tuesday.
The best-performing precious metal for the past week was silver, up 6.00%. Silver futures surged to an intraday high of $82.16 per ounce on Friday as hopes for a U.S.–Iran peace deal and the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz lifted precious metals for a...
In a detailed interview on the Money Metals Podcast, host Mike Maharrey spoke with Rhona O’Connell, Head of Market Analysis at StoneX, about the forces driving gold and silver markets in 2026.
The inflation dragon is alive and well. Last November, Donald Trump called himself “the affordability president.” However, it appears that the message is falling flat with your average American. Based on a recent Gallup poll, affordability tops the list of Americans’...

High gold prices are enduring, with the yellow metal consolidating high again. Gold’s durability way up here is remarkable considering the sheer extremity of January’s parabolic surge. Yet this is the fifth time gold has defied serious-drawdown odds in recent years...
Gold has an inverse relationship with US Treasury yields. As yields rise, gold normally falls, as interest-bearing assets become more attractive compared to gold, which offers neither interest nor a dividend.
I seriously had no clue that SPX was even close to target, let alone realized it had hit the 7400 measured target yesterday, until I took a look yesterday afternoon. Though upside targets are seldom stop signs (at least mine aren’t, they are objectives laid out well...
