And what does this have to do with gold? In fact, the answers are becoming harder to ignore.

06.06.25- Silver: Money, Markets, & The Metal's Role In The Coming Chaos
Doug Casey: Let’s look at the definition of what makes a good money. There are basically six characteristics. A good money has to be durable, divisible, convenient, consistent, have use value, and some limit on supply. Using those six key characteristics, gold ranks first, silver second, and copper third. That’s why those three metals have been preferred money throughout history. They were superior to seashells, salt, cows, paper, and other commodities. In today’s world it makes sense to bring Bitcoin, which also satisfies those six characteristics into the mix. Read More |

Although both have a long history and understanding of precious metal investing, von Greyerz and Macleod discuss how the golden era for physical gold is just starting, despite a clear historical arc in its favoured direction. Macleod thinks back to the debt and credit woes of the 90s and central bank manipulation of rates, in which the gold cycle bottomed around 300 before Egon began making his first core gold investments. Since then, the price has grown by 10x. Read More |

That means U.S. banks can count physical gold, at 100% of its market value, toward their core capital reserves.

I typically analyze the gold price through a framework of how gold relates to "credit assets" (national currencies, debt securities, equity, etc.). Simplified, trends in the ratio between gold and credit assets tell us where we are in a debt cycle, and where we are in a debt cycle reveals in what direction the gold price is heading. Read More |

Gold, that most divisive of metals, has been much talked about of late as its market price surges, a strange thing to witness considering that it was long ago banished from the monetary system and condemned as a “barbaric relic.” It’s even stranger considering that, in our time, to talk respectfully about gold usually requires seeking out someone dead to do it with, and one such someone is the French economist, Charles Rist. A reading of his History of Monetary and Credit Theory (published in 1938) not only delivers on what its title promises but also includes a strident defense of the gold standard. Read More |

QUESTION: I made a bet that a friend was wrong that Roosevelt also confiscated silver. I never heard of that, only gold. He said I should write to you and you will decide who wins.Thanks. ANSWER: Sorry, you lose. He must have been at one of my conferences when we discussed that if he told you to ask me. Most people have never heard that Roosevelt also confiscated silver – not just gold. On August 9th, 1934, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the seizure of all silver situated in the continental United States with Executive Order 6814 – requiring the Delivery of All Silver to the United States for Coinage. This was the same abuse of executive power as Executive Order 6102, which FDR signed on April 5th, 1933, “forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates within the continental United States” with some differences.

Gold doesn’t succumb to fly-by-night momentum rallies, but price trends that can sustain themselves over time. As Citi analysts data noted in the Wall Street Journal, gold futures that have risen by at least 20% tend to rise again the following year. This occurred in five of the last six years where futures averaged at least a 15% gain. The only time this didn’t occur was in 2021 where the precious metal fell 3.6% after rising 25% the previous year. Read More |

So 8.6x more silver is mined annually than gold. Yet gold trades at about 86x the price of silver today ($2,633/oz for gold and $30.60/oz for silver). What explains this disconnect? The primary differentiator is the fact that central banks buy and hold large quantities of gold. Global central banks and governments hold approximately 36,700 tons, or roughly 17% of all gold ever mined. Read More |

Total global gold reserves allegedly held by central banks (37,000 tonnes) are valued at $3.1 trillion at the current market price of $2,700. That value is absurd when one US company – Microsoft – has the same valuation. Just think about it: Microsoft is as big as the gold backing of the global financial system. Read More |

11.16.24- Trading Gold is unlike
Dear readers! Gold has its own laws in trading. The most emotional of all financial assets is traded unlike anything else. Unlike any other commodity, every ounce newly mined adds to the existing stock of Gold. It moves from vault to vault, in various forms. Occasionally it is melted down and given a new form as jewelry, ingots, coins or something else. It is thus not consumed and is not lost. Every year, around 3,500 tons of new Gold are mined, which are added to the existing stock. Read More |

Silver prices shot up from $9.40 per ounce in October 2008 to over $49 in April 2011. It was a beautiful run, but ended much too quickly for my liking. Silver stayed above $30 for almost two more years, but as the economy improved, investors lost interest for a time. Read More |

The last data point for the net long position for hedge funds was 17 September (COT report) due to be updated on Friday. Since then, open interest has increased by 28,256 contracts on preliminary figures for yesterday (Tuesday). That implies that this category of trader (managed money) is net long of about 240,000 contracts and therefore highly vulnerable to a bear raid by the swaps (bullion bank traders and market makers). And note how the rise in their net position is in lockstep with the price. But there is other evidence which we cannot ignore and is a new factor in the market. Read More |

09.26.24- Gold Repatriation Shifting From North To South
Perhaps no other country (except maybe Zimbabwe) understands the value of bullion as a store of value than Germany. Hyperinflation during the Weimar Republic of the 1920s had citizens piling near-worthless Deutsche marks into wheelbarrows just to buy bare necessities. During the Second World War Nazi Germany looted about 4 tonnes of gold and stored it in the Reichsbank. But in 1948 the allies recovered it and gave it back to its rightful owners, leaving Germany’s bullion vaults bare. Read More |

This may seem high until you look at Spain with 500% of GDP, France with close to 400%, or Germany with close to 350% of GDP. Read More |

I say “unusually” because the gold price could - in normal times - be relied upon to give a measured view on the state of the world - both economic and geopolitical cycles ; so, over and above its own supply/demand fundamentals, it is regarded as a scorecard of sorts. Given that the gold price reacts to a very wide selection of economic indicators has prompted the comment that it represents “the sum of all fears”. As a gauge, it shoulders quite a lot of responsibility. Sometimes a little dull, but often reliable. Read More |

In early 2002 we made major investments in physical gold for our investors and ourselves. At the time gold was around $300. Our primary objective was wealth preservation. The Nasdaq had already crashed 67% but before the bottom was reached, it lost another 50%. The total loss was 80% with many companies going bankrupt. Read More |

Comex volumes in both contracts were heavy, but the startling increase was in gold’s Open Interest, which has surged by 100,000 contracts since 20 February: Read More |

02.21.24- Justification For Gold
Fundamentally, there is only one basic reason to own gold – to protect and preserve wealth; but, why should that be the case? Seemingly, there must be some “value” associated with gold ownership that justifies holding it. There is, and there is historical precedent to help explain that value and its applicability to us today. Read More |

What is the gold standard definition? Many readers would consider this a simple question and perhaps even an obsolete one. It is for precisely this reason that a mere definition is inadequate as an answer. A definition conveys no understanding and thus does nothing to eliminate the many misconceptions surrounding this concept.
“Gold never settles.” The phrase sounds absurd – until you understand the modern financial system. In this Rio Reset exclusive, Dr. Ron Paul explains why settlement matters – and the motive behind the BRICS dedollarization plan…
For the past few years, the world has been infected with a common strain of tech stock fever.
Last week was a wild one for investors, with stocks whipsawing in a storm of volatility and uncertainty. When the dust settled, gold was the last safe haven standing.
Global markets have reached a day of reckoning. This has been decades in the making. Now, massive changes are sweeping the world.
President Trump just declared “Liberation Day” and launched sweeping new tariffs. Investors panicked worldwide as corporations published dire predictions of the bumpy road ahead. Today we take a deep dive into the pros and cons of Trump’s “Liberation Day” strategy – and reveal the secret back door to the financial bomb shelter the President left unlocked specifically for us… 
Gold has broken above $3,000 and appears poised to push even higher. So far, platinum has not followed gold’s lead but seems to be watching from the sidelines. 
Silver has ripped 40% higher over the past year. It currently trades at $34.33 per ounce.
In 1971, the US abruptly went off the gold standard, and in making the public announcement, US President Richard Nixon looked into the television camera and said, “We’re all Keynesians now.”
As we’ve 
Today, we’ll discuss gold, which recently crossed the historic threshold of $3,000 per ounce. There’s more price upside over time, I believe, for both the metal itself and definitely for mining companies. That is, even at this new high, and seemingly lofty price, the yellow metal strikes me as dramatically undervalued.
Over the course of COVID, the U.S. government spent absurd amounts of money to prevent a total financial collapse.
Well, you've probably noticed the fireworks in gold and silver this week -- with gold touching $3,000 an ounce and silver pushing up above $34.
On March 6, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a 
International Man: For decades, mainstream financial commentators have dismissed gold as a “barbarous relic.” Federal Reserve officials and policymakers routinely downplay its importance, insisting that fiat currency and central banking make gold obsolete.
Headlines blamed yesterday’s crash on Trump. It’s the tariffs!
VON GREYERZ partner, 
There aren’t too many upsides to the widespread loss in confidence currently underway. It would be far better if major institutions were trustworthy, competent, and efficiently run. But fixing these institutions first requires recognition of the problems.
Even casual observers know that gold has been trading near all-time highs lately. The dollar price of gold has been trading around $2,955 per ounce, quite close to the all-time closing high and near the recent intraday high just below $3,000 per ounce. Since November 1, 2022, gold has rallied from $1,650 per ounce to $2,955 per ounce, an 80% gain in 28 months.
A recent piece in 
I’m all in favor of a thorough and public audit of the US’s gold reserves. This includes the gold, not only at Fort Knox, but also at the other gold storage facilities at West Point, Denver, and the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Ron Paul was right when, in 2011, he tried to force the federal government to be transparent about its gold holdings.
If gold flows into ETFs are any indication, North American investors are finally hopping on the gold bandwagon.
Most of the time, when you see a large consolidation pattern under construction, it can seem like an eternity before you actually get to see the breakout. Sometimes, a year or two can pass by with no sign in sight that the breakout you’ve been looking for is going to take place, but then you see a subtle low form and think, “Is this going to be the rally that finally completes the consolidation pattern?” 
Since the start of this century, gold has outperformed stocks — despite stocks being in an epic bull market:
If there is gold in Ft. Knox, whose is it? 
Despite massive outflows in the mid-20th century, the U.S. still officially has the world’s single largest gold reserve. About 8,100 tons of gold altogether – or 3.3% of all gold ever mined in human history. Today we ask, can the federal government mobilize the nation’s gold reserve to patch up our fiscal position? What could we gain – and, equally importantly, what might we lose by trying? 
Topics like bond yields, dollar debates, or yield curves can be admittedly, well, 
One of the biggest questions over the past 50 years is whether the gold at Fort Knox, Kentucky is really there, or if it's been plundered. 
A constant stream of Boeing 737s packed full of gold are flying into America.
Gold continues its push towards $3,000 per ounce. Has it risen too far, too fast?
You have a choice…
The silver market has always fascinated me, particularly because of its dual role as both a precious and industrial metal. What many don’t realize is that we’re heading into what could be the most significant silver bull market in history – one that could make the 1970s look like a mere preview. Let me tell you why, but first, let me share a revealing story from my time at Sprott that exposed just how fragile the silver market really is. 
China's futures traders drove a remarkable $400 surge in gold prices this past spring, and now they are positioned to propel it to $3,000 and beyond.
Gold is smashing through all-time highs, inching toward $3,000, but Todd “Bubba” Horwitz warns, “We’ve gotten ahead of ourselves… expect a pullback before gold moves to $3,200-$3,300 in 2025.” The real message? Inflation isn’t cooling—it's accelerating. “Eggs and milk aren’t getting cheaper, because the government needshigh prices to collect more tax revenue.”
Because we tend to look at gold's performance in dollars, it's easy to forget that it is also priced in other currencies.
During precious metal bull markets, silver tends to significantly outperform gold.
In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire is joined by renowned precious metals commentator Bill Holter to discuss how foreign investors pulling back from US Treasuries, with the Fed as the sole buyer, is fuelling an unsustainable debt spiral.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow strip of water that links the Persian Gulf to the rest of the world.
On a recent episode of the Money Metals podcast, host Mike Maharrey sat down with David Morgan, founder of The Morgan Report and author of The Silver Manifesto. 
Just three years ago, BlackRock’s Larry Fink and the current White House’s Donald Trump openly declared that BTC was a scam.
The gold miners will soon report their best quarter ever, smashing all records! Profits will skyrocket on the highest gold prices ever witnessed combined with stable or lower mining costs. Yet gold stocks are still trading as if both their earnings and gold were way lower, an extreme valuation anomaly. Upcoming stellar Q4 and 2024 results should help reverse that, growing investors’ interest in this high-flying sector. 
Money managers invested in the US stock market don’t care if US borders are open or closed. They don’t care if elementary schools teach wokeness and critical race theory. They do care about taxes… and whether they are implemented with carpet bombing madness or a reasonable strategic plan.

2024 was an eventful year in politics. Around half of the world’s population was called to the polls for presidential or parliamentary elections. For the first time in the history of Western democracies, every governing party lost support in the elections. Among all the changes of government, Donald Trump’s return to the White House stands out, especially as the Republicans also hold the majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives. A few weeks ago, the German traffic light coalition collapsed after long squabbles. Germany is now voting prematurely at the end of February. 
Following more than two months of stagnation after the U.S. presidential election, gold is now breaking out decisively, signaling its readiness to resume its 
Gold has been grinding sideways for the better part of several months now, weighing on sentiment. Late October’s mounting bullishness is long-gone, deteriorating to apathy. But gold’s recent high consolidation is actually a remarkable show of strength, defying a massive US-dollar rally. Such big-and-fast gains on a higher Fed rate trajectory have mostly exhausted the dollar’s upside, paving the way for gold to surge again. 
Over the past month we’ve written about how there’s been stress in the gold and silver markets ahead of Trump implementing tariffs, evidenced by two surges in the spread between the spot market in London and the futures market in New York.
Not two weeks into the year, and we’re seeing that the increases in 
The past few years have been unusual for gold and interest rates.
Gold and silver have traded quietly but with a positive bias this week, and it looks like we'll be closing out the week on a positive note.
Some of gold’s most-volatile days erupt after monthly-US-jobs data is released. This granddaddy of all economic reports can really move markets both ways. Gold can surge on substantial downside surprises, or plunge on big beats. Gold and gold-stock traders really need to understand the dynamics fueling these big jobs-reports reactions. That not only psychologically girds traders, but helps them game likely outcomes. 
Despite a resilient US dollar and gold’s spectacular 2024 run, we think its price could go as high as $3,100/oz in 2025. Central bank buying remains strong; consumer demand from India and China is growing; and we see more investors seeking gold due to expected rate cuts (with financial positioning not stretched, historically or normalized), geopolitical tensions, and worsening fiscal deficits. 
Every year, we hear these phrases: “Sell in May and go away,” “January Effect,” “Monday Effect,” “Santa Claus Rally,” and so on. The problem is that none of these patterns is supported by solid evidence.

Gold’s break out of a 13-year cup and handle pattern is likely the start of a new secular bull market.
Gold stocks remain big bargains, still priced for bygone much-lower gold prices. Gold miners are earning enormous record profits, fueled by gold’s powerful bull market. Yet traders have been slow to recognize this, leaving gold stocks seriously undervalued relative to their underlying earnings. This striking anomaly won’t last, as eventually stock prices always mean revert to some reasonable multiple of corporate profits. 
Bitcoin’s record ascent beyond $100k captured headlines worldwide. But what does this so-called digital gold have to do with the real thing? If you take a closer look, it’s plain to see that the forces driving the crypto market higher are very similar to those driving the gold market… 
With less than two months until his inauguration on 20 January 2025, US president-elect Donald Trump is ramping up the rhetoric on tariff threats to unprecedented levels – even by his own “all guns blazing” standards.
As December begins, financial institutions and market analysts are unveiling their 2025 forecasts, with gold attracting significant attention. Predictions are shaped by a variety of factors, with the new US administration naturally playing a prominent role. However, it is crucial to remember that this is just one piece of the puzzle influencing the global metals market. What truly matters is not what leaders say they will do, but what they actually do, and how markets respond. 
Tariffs. President-elect Donald Trump loves them. I’m not just saying that. He has literally 
In a region fraught with geopolitical turmoil, Eastern European central banks are loading up on gold.
There was an irrational knee-jerk reaction to sell gold and silver after Trump won the presidential election, but they are now stabilizing and setting up for a continuation of their prior uptrend.
In 2023, global silver production was approximately 26,000 metric tons. During the same period, gold production was around 3,000 metric tons.
Have you heard the news? America is going to be great again! The people have spoken and the man with the simple but catchy buzz phrase is back in office.
Gold broke out from a 13-year cup and handle pattern earlier this year to a new all-time high and advanced to $2800/oz.
Could the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution boost gold demand?
Gold bugs were rattled by the drop of more than $200 over the past two weeks, but this week's big rally has clawed much of that back in one fell swoop.
Below we look at the direction of gold in the context of announced Trump policies, the USD debate and comical debt markets.
In our analyses, we regularly examine current movements, identify possible influencing factors and assess the general market situation. However, these are not recommendations, but merely opinions and food for thought.
The s- ell-off in the precious metals sector since the election has nothing to do with Trump’s victory. That thesis is based on the price-action in the precious metals sector when Trump was elected in 2016. But the sell-off that year followed a move straight up starting in January 2016 that lasted nearly eight months. The sector began heading south in late August that year. It was going to at least undergo a correction in spite of Trump. There’s some other factors back then that are not present currently. 
Gold is on the rise, and so is the typical 
Countries outside the eurozone but inside the European Union, i.e., those that one day might join the eurozone—like Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, are positioning for a new gold standard.
Silver used in the industrial and technology sectors accounts for more than half of the demand, and the uses for silver continue to expand.
In this week’s Money Metals Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey dives deep into the broader economic landscape as the U.S. approaches another pivotal election. 
As industrial demand soars and physical supplies dwindle, the silver market approaches a historic breaking point. Could the looming 'silver squeeze' create the investment opportunity of a generation?
After shattering 30 all-time high price records, global demand for gold also hit an all-time high this year. Is massive demand causing record high prices? Or are high prices causing fear of missing out? Let’s dive into the forces behind record gold demand…
A reader recently asked me which presidential candidate would be more bullish for gold.
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time in over four years in September, sending gold past a record-setting $2,500 an ounce. The aggressive half-percentage-point reduction was in response to the Fed’s significant progress in bringing down inflation, as well as a slowing US economy evoking recession fears.
Gold demand set a third-quarter record, driving the price to a series of record highs.

Silver and Gold have been on a wild ride, and it’s not stopping anytime soon. Let’s dive into why these shiny metals are becoming a favorite for investors.
Unusually, gold is not itself these days. 
There are many ways to invest in gold — bars, coins, exchange traded funds and even stocks in mining companies — but only if it aligns with your long-term strategy.
This week, Your News to Know rounds up the latest top stories involving gold and the overall economy. Stories include: Morgan Stanley's views on gold and the U.S. dollar, gold's correlation to bitcoin and copper is misunderstood, and why is the Royal Mint downsizing despite record demand?

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Gold is approaching its record highs, rising 50% from its 2022 lows and 25% since mid-February.
The rise in the gold price this spring was undoubtedly spectacular. In just a few weeks, the gold price rose by almost 20% in USD terms, with a gain of 21.7% for the first half of the year alone. In EUR terms, gold increased 16.4% in the year’s first six months. 
(Reuters) - Gold prices rose more than 1% to a near two-week high on Wednesday, driven by increased bets for a September interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve after recent U.S. data suggested that the labor market was softening.
