    Central Banks No Longer Trust Each Other: The Global Rush To Gold | Mark Thornton

    Mark Thornton called the housing bubble in 2004. For four years, he was told he was wrong. He now says every paper-dollar asset you own is facing a very difficult future, and the AI buildout is the clearest warning sign he has seen since. In this interview with Jeremy Szafron, the Mises Institute senior fellow and author of The Skyscraper Curse explains why AI data centers are this cycle's record-breaking tower, why the bonds financing them run decades longer than the hardware, who gets stuck with the cost when a tenant stops paying, and why central banks no longer trusting each other is the best sign he has seen for gold. Thornton also reacts to the Federal Reserve's report on Silicon Valley Bank published this week, Chairman Kevin Warsh's first rate hike in three years, and the drone attack on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline that cut Aramco supply to European buyers.

    Credit Stress Is Here And The Only Place Left To Hide Is Precious Metals | Danielle DiMartino Booth

    Bank of Dallas, argues the opposite. She says US small business bankruptcies are up 64% year over year through August, that more than 200 companies have closed every month for five months running, and that 57% of Americans who took cash out refinancing in Q2 accepted a higher mortgage rate to do it. On the data behind the decision, she says the seasonal adjustments at the Bureau of Labor Statistics are "clearly broken" and the official numbers are "at best misleading." On where that leaves investors, she says that whenever there is stress in credit markets, the only place you can hide with any certainty is precious metals.

    One Fed Hike Isn't The Mistake, Five Could Break The Economy | David Rosenberg

    The 10-year Treasury yield touched 5% as markets priced a greater than 90% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike. David Rosenberg says the market may be making a much bigger mistake by assuming the Fed will keep going. Rosenberg, founder and president of Rosenberg Research, joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron to explain why he questions the latest payroll and core CPI readings, why slowing wage growth complicates the inflation narrative and why an oil shock is not necessarily durable inflation. He also explains why he is buying 10-year Treasuries at 5%, what could trigger a major short-covering rally in bonds and why he believes the U.S. dollar is entering a long-term bear market. The conversation covers gold’s resilience, hard assets and the investment thesis behind the newly launched ROSY ETF with Corton Capital.

    Rate-Hike Odds Went From 48% to 88% in One Month | This WeeK

    The Federal Reserve decides Wednesday. On Friday the market put a rate hike at roughly 88%, and a cut at zero. It would be the first increase since July 2023. Over nine days, three guests sat down with Jeremy Szafron and made the case that higher rates are a problem the debt can't carry. Ran Neuner on September 3, Brien Lundin on Tuesday September 8, and Ron Paul on September 9. Neuner argued the inflation is a supply shock from the war and that rates are the wrong tool for it, while saying he wasn't ruling a hike out. Lundin argued a sustained campaign of rate hikes cannot be afforded, with debt service already running above national defense. Ron Paul argued the debt and malinvestment have to be liquidated eventually, and that there is no painless way to get there. Friday's CPI came in at 0.4% for the month and 3.4% on the year, with core at 0.3%, hotter than the 0.2% economists expected. That's the Labor Department.

    Gold Must Hold This Level Before the Fed, or $4,000 Comes Back Into Play | Gary Wagner

    Gold is sitting on a technical fault line ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September decision. Gary Wagner, editor of TheGoldForecast.com and Kitco News technical analyst, puts support for December gold futures near $4,350, with major support just below $4,000. He also identifies resistance for silver near $71.50 and explains why corrections that once took years may now unfold in months. Wagner joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron after August inflation rose 0.4%, market-implied odds of a September rate hike surged to nearly 89%, and gold rebounded after briefly falling below $4,300 in overnight trading. They examine the changing relationship between gold, oil and the US dollar; the record 4,189 tonnes held by global gold ETFs; silver’s sharper volatility; and what the charts say to investors who bought near January’s record prices. Wagner also explains how he dollar-cost averages physical metals, why he believes precious metals should represent 10% to 15% of a portfolio, and why he may never sell his own holdings.

    Ron Paul: The People Ought To Own The Gold, Not The Government

    Former Congressman Ron Paul joins Jeremy Szafron on Kitco News to discuss the Treasury's expanded bond buybacks, who should actually own the gold in Fort Knox, and why he says the affordability debate is really a debate about the value of the dollar. Dr. Paul explains why he wonders whether the current buyback program could become another round of quantitative easing, why he considers government equity stakes in private companies a form of corporatism, and what his grandmother told him about war and money when he was a boy during the Second World War. He also revisits the 42 years when Americans were not permitted to own gold, why he says a restored gold standard would fail without deeper reform, what would make him sell his own gold, and the night in 1971 he watched Nixon close the gold window.

    Gold Drops Every Time Warsh Speaks, Then Buyers Bring It Back | Brien Lundin

    At $4,400 gold, almost every mining project looks better. Brien Lundin says that may be exactly what makes this market dangerous. Lundin joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron to explain why soaring gold prices are reviving previously uneconomic deposits, attracting money back into junior miners and transforming the balance sheets of major gold producers. But high prices can also conceal weak projects, excessive dilution and risks investors may not see until the cycle turns. Lundin lays out the one obstacle even $4,400 gold cannot overcome, why explorers are typically the last mining stocks to move and why major producers could now offer three-to-five-times upside with less risk than junior exploration companies. The conversation also covers China’s gold demand, record copper prices, the coming competition for new projects and why Lundin believes today’s copper price could eventually look like a discount. He also explains why gold initially falls whenever Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh sounds hawkish—and why buyers keep stepping back into the market. Lundin is editor of Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference. Kitco News will be reporting from this year’s conference, taking place October 28–31.

    Gold Stopped Following The Rules | This Week In Focus

    The market now puts the odds of a Fed rate cut this month at zero, with a hike and a hold running roughly even. Gold came off its best month since January anyway, up more than 10 percent, though still about a fifth below its record. This week Jeremy Szafron sat down with a man who spent 15 years inside the room that sets rates, and two others who trade on what it does. None of them spoke to each other. All landed on the same problem: the rules that used to explain this market have stopped working. Plus two stories nobody else covered: the metal you can't build a Tomahawk without, which has no futures market, and why America still values its gold at $42 an ounce. Jim Bullard, who ran the St. Louis Fed for 15 years, on the committee split and central banks moving out of Treasuries into gold. Phil Streible of Blue Line Futures on why a rate hike would be a policy mistake and the wrong kind of inflation.

    Gold Runs First, Then Silver, Then Copper | Ran Neuner

    Gold has stopped taking its orders from interest rates. It should have fallen about 55% between March 2022 and October 2023 as real yields rose more than four points. It rose 7%. Then real yields fell less than a point over two years and gold rallied 110%, according to UBS Investment Bank. Ran Neuner ( @CryptoBanterGroup ) says the reason is the debasement trade, and that we have entered what he calls scarcity season. He walks through the $40 trillion US debt financed near 3.5% against a 10-year Treasury yield at 4.75%, the Treasury's buyback of its own long-dated bonds, and why he is long gold, silver, platinum, palladium and bitcoin at the same time. He also tells Jeremy Szafron the gold levels he needs to see, why silver always lags before it moves fast, and how he caps every position after losing $130 million in four days.

    No ETF, No Futures Market: Why 17% Of His Money Is In This Metal

    Newmont generated a record $2.2 billion in free cash flow last quarter. Barrick generated $515 million, and just $141 million of that was attributable to its own shareholders. John Feneck of Feneck Consulting Group explains why he owns Newmont and Agnico, and won't own Barrick. He was a net buyer of mining equities every week through July and August, taking his cash from 12-14% down to 8-10%. He's sticking with his bottom call, though he accepts gold could test $3,900 again. Also in this conversation: -Why he sold silver above $100 and where he'll buy it back -Why more than 17% of his portfolio is now in tungsten equities -What he learned in three meetings with the US government -His checklist for picking a junior, and how to size a position when you're already down 40% -The worst mining stock he ever owned Recorded September 2 2026 Follow Jeremy Szafron on X: @JeremySzafron (https://twitter.com/JeremySzafron) Follow Kitco News on Twitter: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://twitter.com/KitcoNewsNOW) Follow John Feneck on Twitter: @FeneckConsult (https://twitter.com/FeneckConsult) 00:00 Newmont Made $2.2 Billion, Barrick Made $515 Million 03:29 The Carnage in Mining Stocks This Summer 04:13 Only 0.1% of the World's Money Is in This Sector 05:58 Was That the Flush?

    Gold Has Rallied Into October in 13 of the Last 15 Years | Phil Streible

    Gold fell more than 3% after Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech and kept falling Monday, even as American forces struck Iranian rocket launchers near the Strait of Hormuz and crude climbed above 90 dollars. Phil Streible of Blue Line Futures says a September rate hike would be a policy mistake the Fed has to undo, and that the undoing is when gold accelerates. Streible told his clients to take money off the table on Friday, before Warsh spoke, and explains exactly what he saw: silver stalling at the 100-day, gold teetering at the 200-day, and a dollar getting a relentless bid. He gives the level that would change his mind on gold, the August 18 low he calls the line in the sand, and why 150 dollars off a 600 dollar run is a correction rather than a top. On inflation, he argues the Fed is aiming the wrong tool at the wrong problem. Tariffs, Iranian strikes and an attack on a Black Sea port are supply shocks, and rate hikes cannot manufacture more oil or wheat. On silver, he lays out the structural deficit, why 70% of supply arrives as a byproduct of copper, lead and zinc, and the levels that matter on both sides. He also walks through how he actually sizes a silver position using average true range, which is the part almost nobody explains. Plus platinum and palladium, why he'd short them against a long gold and silver book, the miners, gold seasonality into year end, and why after 25 years on a commodity desk he has never once used Bitcoin. Phil Streible is chief market strategist at Blue Line Futures and has written commentary for Kitco since 2007.

    Foreign Central Banks Chose Physical Gold Over Bitcoin | Former Fed President Jim Bullard

    Gold, the Fed and a September rate hike: former Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President Jim Bullard on Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech, why foreign central banks found physical gold more desirable than Bitcoin, and why he thinks the FOMC is split pretty much down the middle. Warsh told Jackson Hole this morning that responsibility for 65 months of inflation sits squarely with the central bank. Markets moved a September hike from a long shot to the base case inside an hour. Bullard puts the committee divide at roughly 10 to 9, explains why a hold could still be hawkish, and lays out the trap the dot plot creates for a chairman who won't give forward guidance. He breaks with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the long-end bond buybacks, aligning himself with Stan Druckenmiller and arguing the intervention won't shift the long run trend. On the fiscal side he warns of 6% deficits as far as the eye can see, with debt heading toward 120% or 150% of GDP. On gold, he says foreign central banks have been diversifying away from Treasuries, that physical gold proved more desirable than Bitcoin over the past year, and that gold running up signals eroding faith in the Fed, something he says is on the central bank's radar. Asked about the statutory $42.22 book value on America's 261 million ounces, his answer was simple. Why not mark to market. Jim Bullard ran the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis from 2008 to 2023 and is now Dean of the Daniels School of Business at Purdue University.

    Gold Dealers Can’t Afford to Hold the Metal Coming Back | Jeffrey Christian

    Gold is near $4,600 after its strongest month in decades, and investors around the world are selling into the rally. Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group says the coin sellers are late and the ETF buyers are on time. In this Kitco News interview, Christian explains how much of the world's gold is genuinely available at today's price, why dealers and refiners are quoting discounts on bars and medallions, what bank credit lines have to do with it, whether central bank gold buying is as strong as the headlines suggest, and why his firm does not see a silver deficit at all. He also breaks down what Shanghai Gold Exchange withdrawal figures actually measure, why the platinum premium over palladium has not yet triggered a switch back in autocatalysts, and the single thing he watches to know whether this precious metals move has another leg in it. Christian has been in commodities since the 1970s. He ran the commodities research group inside Goldman Sachs and took that team out of the bank in 1986 to build CPM Group. He has advised the World Bank, the IMF and the United Nations.

    You Bought Gold for Protection But Your 401k Owns the Same AI Trade Twice | Felix Prehn

    Gold has had five straight up weeks and is heading for its best month since 1999. But former investment banker Felix Prehn ( @FelixFriends ) says most people who bought physical metal to protect themselves have left the bigger half of their money completely exposed. Speaking with Jeremy Szafron on Kitco News, Prehn puts typical retail AI exposure at 60 to 70 percent and says a plain index fund or 401k is likely around half AI already. His warning is that people then buy the same handful of companies again on top of it. He explains why gold fell when the war in Iran began, why the Treasury's expanded bond buybacks from September 9 matter for savers, and why he thinks the mining story has longer legs than most people expect. On his numbers it takes fifteen years or more to bring a mine into production, so record producer cash flow does not translate into new supply. Prehn also names what he has actually been buying with his own money, why he holds physical metal as insurance rather than as a growth asset, and what he would tell a 70 year old sitting on a retirement account. On gold, his line is direct: "Gold doesn't go up, the dollar goes down. So it protects us, but it doesn't actually make us wealthy."

    Why Gold Can Fall When the Next Crisis Begins | Steve Keen

    Professor Steve Keen says the AI bubble has less than a year to run, with revenue from serious users running at roughly one fifth of what these companies are spending. Speaking with Jeremy Szafron, Keen argues the debt that matters is private debt, not the $40 trillion everyone is watching, and explains why companies that have serviced their loans comfortably for 15 years could start defaulting. Keen was voted first by readers of the Real-World Economics Review in 2010 for having warned earliest and most clearly about the global financial crisis, ahead of Nouriel Roubini. He wrote Debunking Economics and built the economic modelling software Minsky and Ravel. He explains how commercial banks create money when they lend, why he says more than 90% of the money created since 2000 came from the private sector rather than government, what the Federal Reserve's bank stress tests miss, and where he parts company with Ray Dalio on sovereign versus private debt. On gold, Keen calls it a speculative commodity that does well when people distrust the financial system, while warning it is "not a one-way bet" because leveraged holders get forced to sell into a crisis.

    Why Gold Can't Replace The Dollar | The Man Who Wrote The Book

    Gold, the dollar and de-dollarization, with the historian central banks actually read. Barry Eichengreen says the dollar is losing ground, and that gold is not what replaces it. For years Eichengreen was the calm voice on the dollar. Slow erosion, about half a percentage point of global reserve share every year, no crisis coming. In this interview he tells Kitco News that has changed, and he names the exact day it changed for him. He also explains where the dollar's losses have actually gone. It isn't China. It isn't the euro. The euro has gained zero of the ground the dollar has lost this century. Barry Eichengreen is a professor at UC Berkeley and wrote the standard history of the international monetary system. His new book is Money Beyond Borders, from Princeton University Press. IN THIS INTERVIEW -Where the dollar's lost reserve share actually went, and why almost nobody has noticed -Why China's renminbi push has stalled and its share is now falling -Why central banks are buying gold in record quantities, and why he reads it as structural catch-up rather than a vote against the dollar -What a country gives up when it repatriates its gold, and the Marine Le Pen letter that started the European wave -Why the US helping prop up the yen with euros instead of dollars was a signal that foreign dollar reserves are less usable than advertised -Why America's bet on private stablecoins may be the wrong one, and whether the Fed would ever bail out a stablecoin issuer -Whether Barry Eichengreen owns any gold himself Recorded August 21 2026 Follow Barry Eichengreen on X: @B_Eichengreen (https://twitter.com/B_Eichengreen) Follow Jeremy Szafron on X: @JeremySzafron (https://twitter.com/JeremySzafron) Follow Kitco News on X: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://twitter.com/KitcoNewsNOW) CHAPTERS 00:00 The dollar's real rival is not who you think 02:07 Where the dollar's losses actually went 04:00 Why China's renminbi push stalled 07:12 The euro's fatal flaw 11:09 Why central banks are really buying gold 15:14 The new gold buyers nobody expected 17:40 Record buying, weakest net in four years 19:44 The hidden cost of bringing gold home 21:17 How US sanctions are backfiring 23:02 Why gold can't be money 26:20 Why Shanghai's gold hub isn't ready 28:30 So what is gold actually for 32:10 Does he own any gold 33:44 The day he changed his mind 34:53 Answering Ray Dalio on 10 to 15 percent gold 37:00 What the dollar bulls get wrong 38:38 The reserve currency history everyone forgets 46:24 Stablecoins vs CBDCs, is the US betting wrong 54:09 If dollar confidence breaks 56:05 "I was wrong" #gold #dollar #kitconews __________________________________________________________________ Like, share, and subscribe to Kitco News—and turn on alerts to stay current with expert interviews, market insights, and breaking news coverage.

    "They Will Take It From You" | A Billionaire's Warning To Gold Investors

    Gold has pulled back from its highs and silver has given up a large piece of a record run. Dr. Thomas Kaplan has seen this before, and he called it in advance. In this exclusive interview with Jeremy Szafron, the chairman of the Electrum Group, NOVAGOLD and Sunshine Silver Mining and Refining says the drawdown is a "1987 moment" for precious metals, and that another tenfold move in gold is "not just likely, but inevitable." He also explains why he sold his energy company in 2007 and moved into gold, why jurisdiction became his first worry instead of his tenth, what he means when he calls an asset a Rembrandt, and what he would say to somebody who bought silver during the surge and is underwater now. Kaplan has been an investor in precious metals for more than three decades. He pointed at the Sunshine Mine in Idaho in 1993 and told his fiancée he would own it one day. His company bought it in 2010, and it began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 4, 2026.

    The Treasury Tried To Stop This And It Didn't Work | Gold Above $4,600

    A war didn't lift gold. The highest long yields in 19 years didn't sink it. And the US Treasury, which has spent decades promising to be predictable, surprised the market on purpose. Gold finished the week above $4,600. US public debt passed $40 trillion for the first time. And Kevin Warsh gives his first Jackson Hole keynote as Fed chairman on August 28. Gary Wagner, Ole Hansen and Thomas Kaplan each sat down with Jeremy Szafron this week. None of them spoke to each other. All three said a rule they had relied on for years has stopped paying. IN THIS EPISODE Gary Wagner of TheGoldForecast.com on why geopolitical risk stopped moving gold after forty years of doing exactly that, and the level he says decides the next leg. Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, on AI borrowers competing with governments for the same lenders, and why roughly 70 percent of exchange copper is sitting in a country that consumes about 7 percent of it. The phrase that frames the whole week is his. Copper is a shortage of things. Gold is a shortage of trust. Dr. Thomas Kaplan, chairman of the Electrum Group, NOVAGOLD and Sunshine Silver Mining and Refining, on why he calls this a 1987 moment, why he sees another tenfold in gold, and the warning he gave that had nothing to do with price. Plus Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the buyback expansion, his call on oil, and the fiscal plan he says is coming. CHAPTERS 00:00 The week nothing behaved 00:50 A war broke out and gold fell 02:40 AI borrowers versus your government 05:00 The Treasury stopped being predictable 07:20 Most of the world's copper is in one country 09:20 The level that decides it 11:20 Silver, and who got hurt 12:40 Why this is a 1987 moment 15:20 What Warsh walks into COMING MONDAY Barry Eichengreen on the dollar, central bank gold buying, and what the historical record actually says about reserve currencies that lose their grip.

    Nearly 70% of Exchange Copper Is Now in America: Here’s Why | Ole Hansen

    Gold's path to $5,000 is open as a $40T debt burden hits bonds, while 70% of exchange copper risks being stranded in the U.S. Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, joins Jeremy Szafron to break down the severe dislocations happening across physical metals and sovereign debt. Hansen explains why gold is rallying despite 30-year Treasury yields sitting at multi-year highs, arguing that investors are demanding a premium to hold long-term government paper. In the base metals market, Hansen breaks down the massive $535 LME copper backwardation, warning that tech hyperscalers building AI data centers are now competing directly with governments for capital. He also provides an updated outlook on silver's structural deficit, mining supply constraints, and exact portfolio allocation targets for hard assets.

    The $6,000 Gold Call Is Dead, Here's His New Target | Gary Wagner

    Gold's $6,000 target is off the table and Kitco technical analyst Gary Wagner has put a new number in its place. Wagner, editor of TheGoldForecast.com, lowered his own $6,000 call on this show a month ago. He returns with $5,000 to $5,100 on the high side before the end of the year, and says the correction that took gold under $4,000 is finished. "We definitely hit a bottom," Wagner tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron, pointing to a six week base that broke out in the first week of August. "And it hasn't looked back since." Wagner maps the gold price levels that decide it from here. He puts major support at $4,200, short term support around $4,350, and Fibonacci resistance at $4,644, with $4,500 as the next challenge on the way up. On the pattern itself, Wagner says the chart set up as a descending top with a flat bottom, a formation that usually breaks lower inside a downtrend. It broke higher instead, and in his words it did so "really with fury." He also flags a signal that has stopped working after four decades of reading these markets. "The one that used to work that doesn't seem to have the same punch is wars or geopolitical uncertainty," Wagner says. "The US went to war with Iran and gold went down, silver went down." On the Fed, Wagner is anticipating a quarter point rate hike in September and possibly half a point in total by year end, and argues that is not as hawkish as the market has been treating it heading into Jackson Hole. Asked how he is positioned, Wagner says he has spent roughly the last ten months accumulating physical metal for storage rather than trading it, having bought at $1,500 and again at $2,000 and held both. He has traded futures since 1990. Silver's outperformance, the gold to silver ratio, summer liquidity in the gold market, moving averages, rising long yields and what a hawkish surprise would do to $4,500 gold are all covered.
