The War Distraction: What The Media Is Hiding About Gold

When a Country Considers Selling Its Gold

Gold has long been described as the ultimate safe haven, the asset investors turn to when political tensions rise and confidence in financial systems begins to weaken.

The Real Reason Gold Isn’t Surging Right Now

Unsurprisingly, ongoing events in the Middle East have revived a familiar assumption within financial markets.

In recent weeks, a series of revelations around the world has unsettled public confidence, exposing how influence can blur the boundaries between access, reputation and accountability.

What has changed, what has not, and why gold still belongs in the plan

It has been a lot, these last few weeks, let alone the last 24 hours or so.  Even allowing for the fact that markets have been living at a higher emotional temperature for some time, the opening stretch of 2026 has felt unusually dense.  Gold and silver prices have moved sharply in both directions, sometimes […]
