He argues that geopolitical tensions involving Iran may be accelerating a shift away from the petrodollar system, especially with reports of oil being transacted in yuan. The conversation highlights how energy markets, including oil and natural gas, are being disrupted by...

Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute warns that escalating conflict in the Middle East could trigger a global economic crisis far worse than most expect. Drawing on the ideas of Ludwig von Mises, he explains how government intervention, war, and monetary inflation are converging into a dangerous turning point. Energy markets, especially oil and fertilizer, sit at the center of a fragile global supply chain that could break under pr...

Andy Schectman warns that the real silver market is not reflected in the paper price, as massive physical demand is quietly draining global inventories. He explains that major players are standing for delivery and moving silver out of Western exchanges while the public remains largely unaware. In places like Shanghai, buyers are paying significantly higher premiums, signaling a growing disconnect between East and West pricing. Sche...

The precious metals bull market may only be getting started. Don Durrett says gold, silver, and mining stocks have already won three major “battles,” but the final battle will come when the stock market rolls over and metals decouple from equities. Despite massive price gains, he argues mining stocks remain historically undervalued due to huge profit margins and extremely low free cash flow multiples. Durrett warns that rising debt...

The global financial system may be entering its biggest transformation in decades. Robert Kientz warns that major banks like Jamie Dimon are now openly embracing blockchain infrastructure that could power a digital dollar, even without a formal central bank digital currency. With cryptocurrencies such as XRP surging and governments exploring asset tokenization, the foundation for a fully digital financial system may already be in p...

Andy Schectman joins Liberty and Finance to warn that physical gold and silver inventories on major exchanges are being rapidly drained as large institutions stand for delivery and remove metal from the system. COMEX silver now shows 9–10 times more paper contracts than available registered metal, while nearly 160% of February deliveries left the exchange entirely. Meanwhile, the largest weekly outflow in the history of the GLD gol...

Precious metals analyst David Jensen warns that the global financial system may be entering a dangerous new phase as rising interest rates collide with a $240 trillion stock and bond bubble. In this interview with Elijah K. Johnson on Liberty and Finance, Jensen argues that escalating conflict in the Middle East and surging energy prices could accelerate inflation and market instability. He says physical gold and silver inventories...

Michael Oliver (https://www.olivermsa.com/) warns that cracks are forming in the financial system that resemble the early stages of the 2008 Financial Crisis. He believes weakness in banks could push the Federal Reserve to cut rates, potentially triggering one last surge in stocks before a major downturn. According to Oliver, this environment would fuel a historic rally in gold and silver as central banks respond by printing more m...

The precious metals market is under extreme stress as physical silver and gold inventories plummet across COMEX, LBMA, and Shanghai exchanges. Ed Steer explains how concentrated short positions and record ETF withdrawals are setting the stage for a historic price surge. Intervention by the Fed and the Plunge Protection Team is only temporarily suppressing market forces. With structural deficits in silver, platinum, palladium, and p...

Alasdair Macleod warns that escalating conflict with Iran could trigger a global financial crisis. He explains why energy prices may surge, bond yields could rise sharply, and why he believes U.S. equities are in a dangerous bubble. Macleod outlines how China may respond not militarily, but financially, potentially accelerating the end of dollar dominance. He also discusses why precious metals were hit initially and why he expects ...

He argues that escalating conflict in the Middle East will ripple through energy, food, debt markets, and currencies worldwide. Mannarino outlines why he believes the Federal Reserve will be forced to expand debt issuance and intervene to maintain liquidity. He explains how war historica...

Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin Precious Metals joins Dunagun Kaiser to break down escalating geopolitical tensions and their potential impact on oil, inflation, and precious metals markets. Andy discusses unusual delivery trends on COMEX, growing backwardation in metals, and why physical demand may be quietly challenging paper price suppression. The conversation addresses viral rumors about silver price floors, tax changes, deale...

Rick Rule argues that the recent surge in gold reflects long building fiscal deterioration and declining fiat purchasing power rather than a short term crisis, and he believes the bull market in precious metals could continue for years. He emphasizes that gold remains historically underowned and that even a sideways metals market could allow mining equities to revalue higher because analyst models assume lower price decks. Rule dis...

Lobo Tiggre, founder of The Independent Speculator, argues that geopolitical spikes in gold are usually short lived and that investors should focus on the deeper structural trend rather than headlines. He believes gold’s strength is driven less by Middle East tensions and more by long term monetary debasement and sustained central bank buying. While bullish long term, he expects a period of correction and consolidation after gold’s...
