The Madness of Money
There was a time when the word “millionaire” carried a certain weight. It described an achievement that was unusual, almost mythical. Today, it is the inevitable outcome of rising house prices, easy credit, and years of quietly compounding inflation. To own a modest property in a decent postcode is, in many cases, enough to join […]
The Truth Behind the Crash in the Gold Price
Gold and silver prices firmed in early U.S. trading on Thursday, lifted by a weaker dollar, stronger crude, and a mild easing in Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Washington’s attention turned to tariffs. The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on President Trump’s trade powers, with several justices expressing skepticism over the use of emergency authority to impose […]
Will This Bailout Save The US Dollar?
Argentina’s recent $20bn bailout has already faded from the news cycle, yet the implications for the international monetary system are significant. The intervention was less about stabilising Buenos Aires than it was about preserving the credibility of the dollar, which increasingly depends on visible acts of support rather than assumed authority. What might once have […]
The People’s Gold Standard
Across Russia, household wealth is undergoing a transformation. Citizens who once saved in euros and dollars are now accumulating small bars, coins and jewellery.

The New Gold War: Why Countries Are Fighting Back
Gold prices declined again early today, following a shift in tone from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Although the Federal Open Market Committee lowered interest rates by 0.25 percent as expected, Powell cautioned against assuming further cuts this year.

In this week’s update, I join Jan Skoyles to discuss whether this is the end of gold and silver’s remarkable run or the beginning of a new phase in their long-term bull market. We explore: Buy […]
Friday Read: Everything Else Is a Promise
Jan Skoyles and I have been discussing an idea that has shaped much of our recent work, and it is one that grows more relevant as each new crisis unfolds. The modern financial world, for all its complexity, rests on a very simple foundation. Almost every form of wealth today is a promise. Gold and […]
Gold and Silver: The Great Liquidity Squeeze
Gold is recovering after one of its hardest drops in years. At the time of writing, prices are up $62 to about $4,126/oz, while silver has climbed $1.25 to $48.93/oz. Platinum jumped 6.4% in London to $1,646/oz, its biggest move since 2020, as traders rushed to secure physical metal. Oil is also rising. U.S. crude […]
This is REALLY why Central Banks want all the gold
Gold has been experiencing some volatility these last few days. After surging above $4,350 an ounce earlier this week, the metal has since retreated to below $4,150. Silver is now trading closer to $48. Such wide intraday swings are a clear sign that this is not an ordinary market phase but one defined by uncertainty […]
