Gold’s Price Is Not Natural – Someone Is Steering It
In this week’s GoldCoreTV episode, we examine recent analysis from Société Générale along with the interpretation provided by VBL on the GoldFix Substack. Their work suggests that gold demand has become more segmented and that each segment now responds to price in a different way. The most notable development is the rise of inelastic demand […]
Will This Private Company Move the Gold Price?
Gold and silver are both stronger this week, with gold above $4,130 and silver near $51. Markets are bracing for a wave of US data over the next 48 hours, from inflation numbers to GDP revisions, and it is already shaping sentiment across currencies and commodities. There is also movement on the geopolitical front. US […]
The Real Cost of Not Holding Gold as 2025 Ends
For many years the mainstream’s principal argument against gold was that it paid nothing. This was repeated often enough that it acquired the status of received wisdom. Investors were invited to observe the metal, observe the income generated elsewhere, and conclude that gold was an interesting but essentially idle asset. That view belonged to a […]
Why Do People Forget This About the Gold Price?
The gold price has continued to hold comfortably above the $4,000 level, even as the latest United States employment figures finally emerged after the 43-day government shutdown, the longest in the country’s history. The delayed release has produced an unusual situation. Investors are being asked to interpret labour data that reflects conditions from September rather […]
Algorithms, Confidence Games and the Fragility of Big Narratives
Every era has its preferred prophets. In the 1920s it was journalists urging households to buy stocks on margin.

Today we have traded tarot cards for algorithms and convinced ourselves that the […]

Silver’s addition to the United States’ 2025 Critical Minerals List marks a quiet but important shift in how governments view this versatile metal. For decades, silver has existed in a world of its own, part monetary asset and part industrial material. Now it has been elevated into the same category as lithium, copper, and rare […]

Gold and silver prices are climbing again, reaching three-week highs overnight as traders digest signs that the U.S. government shutdown may finally be ending.

A government reopening would restart the flow of key U.S. […]
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 […]
