RE: Interest in gold and silver could cool...2 Jan 2026 07:38
Where the mainstream media miss the mark is they fail to grasp that gold is primarily reacting to fiscal policy, and the age of fiscal dominance has been upon us since Covid. Its effect is being increasingly felt now, and this will continue certainly as long as Trump is in the White House. That narrative is all about loosening monetary policy no matter what. This is being mimicked by many western governments (including our own) who are simply letting inflation run hot and to hell with the consequences. Not to mention that published inflation figures are skewed by utterly flawed accounting methods (real inflation, in my view, is way higher than the published headlines, if actually living in this inflation reality is anything to go by).
Wait til Bessent is ousted and a stooge put in his place, things will get scary as far as inflation goes, and it’ll be a currency race to the bottom from there on in.
Until the west becomes more hawkish in its monetary policy, I only expect gold to go up. I always see wars etc as a false flag for gold in terms of being a true price driver.
