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 […]
The Signal in Gold’s Rally: Lessons from History and Professor Ferguson
This week I listened to a podcast featuring Professor Niall Ferguson, the financial historian whose understanding of the past often sheds light on the present. As ever, it was interesting to hear another perspective on what is happening in markets, particularly from someone with such a deep sense of economic history. Much of what he […]
The Great Flip — Gold’s Quiet Return to Power
Over the past half-century, the world has built a financial architecture on the assumption that trust could replace collateral. Today, that assumption is being tested. Gold above $4,200 and silver beyond $50 do not mark a bubble; they record a change in the world’s balance sheet. In our latest video on GoldCore TV, Jan Skoyles […]

Is this the top of the market? In truth, gold’s most recent rise has less to do with excitement and more to do with […]
Security Theatre and the Fragility of Modern Money
When I opened my first bank account, the process was straightforward. A signature, a form of identification, perhaps a conversation with the local manager, and one was welcomed as a customer. Today the same relationship requires considerably more formality. Proof of identity, documented addresses, background checks, and rightly so. Any responsible financial institution must verify […]
The Truth About The London Silver Shortage: How Long Will Stocks Last?
Every so often the silver market attracts claims that the vaults in London are about to run dry. It makes for a dramatic headline, but the reality is less dramatic. The latest data shows that silver holdings in London have declined by nearly a third over the last five years. That is not the same […]
Labrador Economics
