Earlier today, both the ECB and Swiss National Bank reduced interest rates. Neither decision is surprising, given concerns about growth, the uncertainty surrounding Trump’s America First policies, and brewing political turmoil across Europe and its neighbors. How have gold and silver responded? At the time of writing, both have pulled back—largely due to a US […]
Last night, I attended the Annual LBMA Dinner in London, joined by representatives from central banks, refineries, depositories, and international bullion dealers such as GoldCore. This event is always insightful, but this year’s discussions were particularly compelling given the significant price movements over the past 12 months. As expected, conversations turned to the role of […]
I write to you less than 24 hours before Ireland heads to the polls to decide who will lead the country, as the term of the current coalition government—comprising Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, and the Green Party—comes to an end. At present, the economy—and by extension, the incumbent government—is feeling buoyant thanks to robust corporate […]
The week began with Goldman Sachs projecting $3,000 gold by 2025. This forecast aligns with predictions from several other analysts in recent months. Why is $3,000 gold on the horizon? Unfortunately, the factors that pushed gold to record highs in 2024 seem unlikely to subside in 2025 and, for many, may even worsen. This reminds […]
What will AI do to life as we know it? This is the question dominating so many platforms at the moment. From company boardrooms to government debates, the power of AI is something that is scaring and impressing in equal measure. So it was with interest when I spoke to James Rickards about his new book, […]
What has President Trump’s victory done to gold and silver? Well, gold and silver both took a pretty big hit yesterday but this is a ‘news driven move’ according to my guest this week on GoldCore TV. Chris Vermuelen joins us this week, and what a great time to have him on. I asked him if the US […]
How much higher will gold go? Yesterday it was within striking distance of $,2800, and whilst it may have pulled back earlier on today on the back of some technical selling, we believe the next week could hold yet more new highs. The coming days will be pivotal for shaping the future of risk sentiment and consumer […]
Just over an hour ago I spoke to the leading economist and geopolitical analyst Simon Hunt. I have interviewed him previously, and this latest occasion didn’t disappoint. Speaking to Simon is a very sobering experience. He doesn’t dress things up. The timing of our conversation was particularly apt given his areas of expertise. From natural […]
Earlier on today, the ECB announced the latest interest rates decision. In line with expectations they cut rates across the board by 25 basis points. At the time of writing gold is at record highs against the Euro. Across the pond it is within touching distance of $2,700 on the bank of US jobless claims […]
Towards the end of last month gold futures passed the giddy heights of $2,700. This move signalled a 42% rise in the price of gold since October 2022. And it wasn’t a gradual climb either in the 6 weeks or so before it had climbed from $2,400. Since then gold has experienced a small correction, […]
