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...
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...

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...
Here are today's videos and charts.

I believe this 20% correction in the price of gold was only to be expected, in fact overdue. Don’t believe me. Take a moment to study gold’s BEV chart going back to 1999, how the other advances, as seen in clusters of BEV Zeros above, all saw deeper corrections in...
After going negative in March after the outbreak of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran, flows of gold into ETFs flipped positive again in April, with all regions reporting inflows of metal.
The lower Gold levels we’d anticipated two weeks ago (price having dropped from our 25 April penning at 4725 by as much as -4.6% to 4510 this past Monday) clearly panned out.

Three US Navy destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz yesterday evening. Iran fired missiles, drones, and sent small boats to attack them. The US struck back, hitting three Iranian ports: Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, and Bandar Kargan. CENTCOM said it targeted missile launch...
Gold and mining stocks now appear vulnerable to a May rollover as momentum fades, seasonal weakness develops, and rising energy prices add pressure to the sector. Current cycle analysis points toward mid-year lows.
In this latest interview with Jesse Day at Commodity Culture, Matthew Piepenburg, Partner at VON GREYERZ, breaks down the critical forces reshaping an increasingly fragile global financial system.
Gold demand was up 2 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, setting a record in value terms. Including over-the-counter (OTC) selling, gold demand came in at 1,231 tonnes. Volume growth, coupled with the surging gold price, drove a 74 percent jump in the value of...
Government red tape is creating havoc in India’s gold market. For the last five weeks, gold imports have virtually stopped. According to the Economic Times of India, this is pushing domestic gold prices higher and threatening shortages in the world’s second-largest...

The market is starting to reveal where its real strength - and real weakness - actually sits. After several sessions filled with failed breakdowns, reclaimed gaps, and aggressive counterattacks from both sides, the metals market is entering a much more technical phase...
US public debt has reached 100 percent of GDP (gross domestic product) for the first time since the aftermath of World War II. Just because we have been here before, and we managed, doesn’t mean we will do so again. This time is different in important ways that are...
Gold and silver exploding higher as India's five-week bullion import freeze tightens physical supply, pushes premium sharply upward, and adds another layer of stress to an already strained global metals market.

Project Freedom lasted 36 hours. Sunday evening: Trump launched it with 15,000 troops, 100+ aircraft, and guided-missile destroyers. Monday: two ships got through, Iran fired cruise missiles at US destroyers, attacked the UAE with 19 projectiles, and set fire to the...
