The “match” between the two camps (the inflationists versus those who are convinced of the transitory impact of the rise in prices) is leading, as one would logically expect, to this very volatile phase on the gold and silver metals markets.

The price of gold rose above $1900 at the start of the week and has since stabilized around this level. It is the first time this important threshold has been reached since last January.

Faced with this brutal and disorderly rise in inflation, the Fed no longer really has a good solution open to it: either it stops monetizing the debt and provokes a financial crisis, or it carries on monetizing the debt, thereby risking a monetary crisis.

The investors who are buying gold today are protecting themselves from both of these risks: the risk of currency devaluation (gold is a safe haven when fiat currencies lose their value) and the risk that this bubble will burst. In relation to this last point, it should also be noted that gold has on...

The Silver Short Squeeze movement has shaken up all of the custodians of the metals, who must now respond to clients who are increasingly anxious about the authenticity of their metals accounts.
