    The classic Downfall bunker meme gets a 2025 twist. Silver has smashed through $50, the short-side generals are panicking, and their trusted market-rigging AI — COMEX-GPT — starts glitching and twitching. Watch the mayhem unfold as the paper shorts crumble and the physical market takes control.

    Gold is in the middle of what looks like an unstoppable bull run. It has already punched through $4,000 an ounce. At the rate the price is rising, it may well go to $5,000 within a few weeks, and perhaps even $6,000 as the next year unfolds. There have been lots of different explanations for this, from the looming collapse of the dollar, to secret Chinese buying, to the conspiracy theories circulating on the wilder fringes of the internet, such a secret plot to re-establish the gold standard, or attempts to replace all the metal that is meant to be...

    The cost of Gordon Brown’s decision to sell the nation’s gold on the cheap 25 years ago has ballooned to £35billion. The then-Labour Chancellor sold 395 tonnes of bullion between 1999 and 2002 for a paltry £2.6billion. The gold price has soared since then, hitting a record high of $4,040 an ounce on Wednesday.

    Comex is effectively the largest gold and silver mine, with stand for deliveries a source for bullion. The conversion of paper gold and silver into bullion is now conspicuous. It cannot last. As our headline chart illustrates, gold and particularly silver have had a good week with prices continuing to rise. In European trade this morning, gold was $3860, up $101 from last Friday’s close. And silver at $47.33 was up $1.30 on the week. So far this year, gold is up 47% and silver by 63%. The question on everyone’s lips is will it continue? The answer appears to...

    Since 2007, major currencies have lost roughly 85% of their purchasing power relative to gold. Whenever gold rises and I get excited as a gold investor, I’m often met with the familiar refrain: “Gold isn’t really going up, the dollar is just losing value.” I used to brush that off as a cliché or a game of semantics, and honestly, it annoyed me. But over time I decided to dig deeper. I started analyzing the data visually, which is my favorite way to learn, and that’s when it finally clicked. They were right. Gold wasn’t truly soaring; fiat currencies were...

    Our headline chart shows silver storming ahead amid reports of backwardations and soaring lease rates. Will it continue, and will gold be next? A graph of a line graph AI-generated content may be incorrect. Driven by poor liquidity, in Europe this morning silver was $45.03, up $2.00 from last Friday’s close. Gold was up a less spectacular $68 at $3750 on the week, but with a firm undertone. In this report, we look at what is currently driving gold and silver prices higher, and whether it will continue.

    Hong Kong’s push to become a global gold trading and reserve hub highlights a sharp contrast between real assets and endlessly printed fiat money. While the United States continues expanding its money supply — diluting purchasing power through debt-driven policies — China and now Hong Kong are moving in the opposite direction, stacking tangible wealth in the form of gold. By targeting storage capacity of over 2,000 tonnes within three years and rolling out tokenized gold investment tools, Hong Kong is positioning itself at the center of a new gold-based financial system. Unlike dollars that can be created with a...

    Beaver Crrek, Colo. – Canadian dealmaker Frank Giustra says the age of paper gold is ending as BRICS nations stand up a parallel financial system that routes around the U.S. dollar and prizes deliverable metal. “We’re now, believe it or not, in the era of hard money,” Giustra said Tuesday in a conversation with Alex Deluce of the Ontario-based bulletin Gold Telegraph at the Precious Metals Summit. “If you own paper gold, you do not own gold. When the crunch comes, it will not be there.” China and partners among the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations...

    The chart below shows gold holdings (in yellow) and US Treasuries holdings as a percentage of foreign reserves. Gold is now a larger holding than US Treasuries for the first time in 30 years. We might be witnessing one of the most significant global rebalancing we’ve experienced in recent history, in my view. Where’s the World’s Gold Really Sitting? This chart shows the official gold reserves by country and the numbers are surprising. US has 8,133 tonnes—by far the leader. Then comes Germany (3,350 tonnes), Italy (2,452 tonnes), France (2,437 tonnes), Russia (2,330 tonnes), China (2,299 tonnes) and Switzerland (1,040...

    Gold prices reached unprecedented territory on Tuesday, breaking through the $3,500 per ounce barrier and establishing a new all-time high. This milestone comes amid a combination of market factors that have strengthened the precious metal’s position as a preferred investment. The price surge occurred as the U.S. dollar weakened against other major currencies, making gold more affordable for international investors. Simultaneously, financial markets have increasingly priced in expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its September meeting. The dollar’s recent performance has played a significant role in gold’s ascent. As the greenback loses value relative to other...

    For the first time since 1996, foreign central banks hold more gold than U.S. Treasuries as the world continues to de-dollarize. Crescat Capital macro strategist Tavi Costa highlighted the crossover moment in a post on X, saying it is “likely the beginning of the most significant global rebalancings we've experienced in recent history.” Central banks have been aggressively adding gold to their reserves over the last three years. Last year was the third-largest expansion of central bank gold reserves on record, coming in just 6.2 tonnes lower than in 2023 and 91 tonnes lower than the all-time high set in...
