In this video, Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg squarely tackle the global banking crisis from Credit Suisse to Silicon Valley. Now, more than ever, clear analysis, honest math and historical context are needed to prepare investors for what is happening in real time, as well as addressing wha...

Are central banks panicking? The Fed's surprise intervention to try to stop the contagion linked to the SVB bankruptcy was not enough to stop the global run on bank deposits.

The former head of the JPMorgan Chase & Co. precious-metals business and his top gold trader should get multiyear prison terms after they were convicted of spoofing the market for years, the US government said in a court filing.

The financial system is terminally broken, toast, kaput! Anyone who doesn’t see what is happening will soon lose a major part of their assets either through bank failure, currency debasement or the collapse of all bubble assets like stocks, property and bonds by 75-100%. Wealth preservation in physi...

Between bullish real estate, a currency that is slowly but surely devaluing and a sovereign wealth fund that will not be as promising as expected, the choices become more complex for the Norwegian saver. Physical gold should be reconsidered as an investment.

The bankruptcies of Eurovita and SVB, while waiting for the next ones, are linked to a bond crisis. It is not a question of fraud (FTX, Madoff), toxic assets (subprimes), or adventurous management (LTCM in 1998). No, the problem is the huge bundle of sovereign bonds that form the basis of the balanc...

Since 2018 we have again seen a series of impulse moves higher followed by bullish consolidations. Gold price in euros appears to be breaking out of one such consolidation now that began in February, 2022, and the next impulse move higher may soon be upon us.

Matthew Piepenburg joins Michelle Makori to discuss the ongoing Silicon Valley Bank collapse, and what it means for markets, gold, and Fed policy. Topics cover inflation, gold price, de-dollarization, Central Bank Digital Currencies and risk.

The latest headlines, of course, are all pointing toward the ripple effect of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), and they should be. This banking metaphor for the tech sector in particular and the previously described disaster in California as a whole or the matter of banking risk as a theme, require unders...

The failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the 16th largest US bank by assets, has put the financial markets under pressure. Beyond the systemic risk to the US tech ecosystem, the bank run phenomenon could spread to the entire banking sector.

In this interview with Chris Waltzek of GoldSeek Radio, Egon von Greyerz, covers a wide swath of global financial issues—from inflated asset bubbles and macro inflationary forces (and hence declining currency power) to stressed pension funds, fantasy CBDCs and unsustainable debt levels. All of these...

Rates have gone from 0% to 5% in a few months! This new rise in rates is putting pressure on the price of gold. The yellow metal is holding above $1,800, en route to its support just below that level.

A powerful endorsement for gold as money came this week from a member of the Executive Board of Germany's Bundesbank, Joachim Wuermeling, who spoke at the press conference in Frankfurt presenting the Bundesbank's annual report for 2022.

The debate about central bank losses (which applies not only to the eurozone but to many countries in the West) shows us more than ever how much our system of unlimited debt is suffering. A new paradigm must be opened as soon as possible, where money creation would be rethought in depth to truly ser...

The World Currency Unit is a blend of the world's largest currencies and represents a unit of real global purchasing power. Measuring Gold and Silver in WCUs helps to reduce the volatility of individual currencies and their inflationary impacts on the charts.

Central bank gold demand in 2023 picked up from where it left off in 2022. In January, central banks collectively added a net 31 tonnes (t) to global gold reserves (+16% m-o-m). This was also comfortably within the 20-60t range of reported purchases which has been in place over the last 10 consecuti...
