A month ago, coal and industrial metals were at their all-time highs. If inflation stays at this rate for 5 years, nothing of the purchasing power of money remains.

Obviously, (ex-post) real rates are very important to the gold price. In the 1970s gold skyrocketed when real rates for two times in a row hit -5%. Can it happen again if inflation proves not be transitory and real rates stay negative?

In Part I of this 2-Part discussion with Cambridge House CEO Jay Martin, Egon von Greyerz discusses MAM’s precious metal approach to preserving generational wealth in the backdrop of an increasingly “messy” global backdrop.

Over the next couple of years we are likely to see a stampede into gold by institutional investors which need to have some inflation protection in their portfolios. But even if they increased their assets in gold from 0.5% to 1.5%, there will not be enough gold in the world to satisfy the extra d...

The Fed, for its part, is continuing to print money at the same crazy pace as before. The central bank promised to reduce its asset purchases, but by refusing to hike its rates and continuing to grow its balance sheet, it is exacerbating the rise in prices even more. There is ever more money in c...

This was foreseen by one of the few economic theories th...

The consumer prices index (CPI) published in the United States is a shock for the last of the faithful believers still clinging to the myth of ‘transitory’ inflation.

The Fed’s favourite inflation indicator, the PCE Deflator is at a 30 year high. Since the Treasury or the Fed are never correct in any prediction, how can they now believe with inflation tuning to the highest in 30 years, that this is transitory. Well at least the Fed is consistent in their inacc...

Gold and Commodities in general continue to be too cheap and offer great opportunities to countercyclical investors now. Take precautions now, because this manipulation cannot last.

The rise in the price of gold in a cycle of yield increases is the signal that the monetary authorities are late to act on the inflationary cycle. Historically, gold has never performed so well as when the central banks ‘run’ after inflation, and lag behind in terms of the rate of increase. Today...
