Gold is the barometer of current events, and as such, it sends out a very strong signal. At a time when the global economy is reeling under the effects of financial instability, trade wars and geopolitical conflicts, the yellow metal is racking up record after record.

As gold makes yet another All Time High this week and now sets its sights on $3,000, silver remains in the low-$30s with investors left wondering just if and when the metal will start to move. This week, we'll take a look at a couple of ratio charts that will renew your enthusiasm for silver.

Until recently, physical gold used to flow mainly from refineries to the BRICS countries. Now, over the past two months, it's the US market that's acting as a veritable vacuum cleaner, absorbing an ever-increasing share of the physical gold market.

There is an argument against buying gold that really ticks me off (and the same goes for bitcoin): it offers no return, no interest and no dividend, unlike conventional investments (stocks, bonds, life insurance, bank savings accounts, rental property). It would be a second-rate asset, imperfect...

Since the announcement of Trump’s victory, the COMEX has been facing exceptionally high Gold delivery demands.This required a veritable airlift to transfer 393 tonnes of gold from the LBMA’s London warehouses to the COMEX vaults in New York, bringing the New York gold stocks to 926 tonnes. This m...

Physical gold is no longer simply an investment; it is now the ultimate protection, ensuring the smooth running of the economy in the event of a sudden breakdown in the traditional financial system.

This week, we'll look at medium-term charts of Silver/Euro and Silver/FTSE.

Physical gold now plays the same role in the United States as it did in China last year: a safe alternative in the face of economic and financial instability.

Traditional portfolios, divided between equities and bonds, are less resilient to economic shocks than they used to be, as the two assets increasingly react in tandem, reducing their diversification and resilience. Another asset must therefore be included: physical gold.

After successive interest rate hikes, prices finally seem to be slowing down, but there are still many uncertainties. So can we look forward to a return to normal, or should we expect a new economic reality marked by high inflation?

This week, we'll change things up from our usual analysis on longer term charts and instead focus on the short term to see if there are any clues about where gold and silver are headed next.

By bolstering its gold reserves, China is anticipating the risks of a weakening dollar, linked to budgetary pressures and possible monetary expansion needed to absorb the debt wall.

With 2024 now behind us, the year ahead promises to be all the more dramatic. The times in which we live remain historically intense. At this very particular moment when two worlds are separating, the decades to come are being written today. 2025 will therefore be marked by the accelerated develo...

The year 2025 is off to a rough start for the sovereign debt market. Is the resurgence of inflation driving interest rates higher? In Europe, manufacturing activity is slowing, weakening employment, while in the United States, declining orders and consumption are heightening the risks of a global...

What is the future for a country with a debt of over 3 trillion euros, which finds itself sanctioned by a transnational institution - the European Commission - for its budgetary situation? What is the future, finally, for France, which, in addition to this disastrous situation, also finds itself...

The Dow/Gold ratio is currently trading near an historically significant level near the 1929 high. We can see that price has fallen through that level 3 times in history, and when it has, the drop has been dramatic with an 87% decline after 1929, a 92% decline from 1972-1980 and a 59% decline fro...

In this 48-minute discussion, Ronni and Egon cover various topics, including the evolution of gold versus Bitcoin, predictions for rising gold prices, central banks' reserve shifts, and global economic risks.

For the third year running, our forecasts for the price of gold have come true. While a sharp fall in the gold price seems unlikely in 2025, attention is now focused on the intensity of the trend.

The question of the timing of the next rise in the gold price remains uncertain: at what point will a market crash, worsening household fragility or increased pressure on the banking system prompt the authorities to make a decisive pivot in monetary policy to avoid a systemic recession?

This 32-minute discussion between Grant Williams and me covers my 55-year professional journey from banking in Switzerland, building and running a major UK FTSE 100 company (DIXONS), and setting up a major business in wealth preservation based on physical gold.     In the interview...
