Gold-Eagle

If you’re reading the headlines, you know that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in even cooler than expected. And the expectation was for a much cooler CPI thanks to falling oil prices. However, the CPI doesn’t tell the entire inflation story. The CPI measures price inflation. That is just one manifestation of monetary inflation (the way economists used to define “inflation”). While price inflation has cooled dramatically, there is still plenty of inflation in the pipeline.

In this update we are going to consider why the US dollar appears to be strengthening, both fundamentally and technically. First, the fundamentals. The Empire, meaning the US, Israel and Britain and to a lesser extent their vassal States such as Australia, most of Europe, the GCC countries, Japan and South Korea etc are moving aggressively to assert global dominance, in large part to shore up the petrodollar system.

How do you turn a sound money bill into a big-government bill? Florida has just shown us. When Florida lawmakers approved so-called 'transactional gold' legislation, supporters claimed it was a historic step toward restoring gold and silver as constitutional money. Governor Ron DeSantis, who is often thought to be a champion of economic freedom, almost certainly believed he was signing legislation that would expand liberty rather than government. But intentions and results are not always the same.

Metals and mining stocks are bottoming within our ideal target zones, helped by Tuesday's lower-than-expected CPI report. Some cycle lows develop quickly, producing sharp V-shaped recoveries.

We view the recent weakness in precious metals as just a pause within a multi-year bull market that we expect to continue into 2030–2031.

Oil and war are headline news again, and mainstream media is trying to claim that all that matters… is a possible rate hike that’s negative for gold.

HIGHER FOR LONGER The Fed first announced a shift in emphasis regarding price stability and interest rate policy in March, 2022… “In support of these goals, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 1/4 to 1/2 percent and anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate” (FOMC, March 16, 2022) The financial press coined the exact phrase “higher for longer” shortly thereafter, and Powell himself confirmed the meaning and accuracy of...

Gold, silver, and mining stocks declined once again in tune with my previous analyses. The war reached its loudest point yet over the weekend, and gold fell into it once more. That much is now familiar. What matters today sits underneath the headlines, in the rate market, where the one thing that lifted gold last week is quietly being taken away.

Gold and silver may have spent much of 2026 consolidating after January's sharp correction, but veteran precious metals analyst Ed Steer believes the next major move could be much higher. In a conversation with Money Metals' Mike Maharrey, Steer explained why tightening physical supplies, growing demand from the East, unsustainable government debt, and shifting global pricing power all point toward significantly higher precious metals prices.

Gold and silver traded in a volatile fashion over the past several days as investors weighed conflicting signals from the Federal Reserve, economic data, and geopolitical developments in the Middle East. Both metals attempted to rebound early in the week after softer labor-market data encouraged hopes that the Fed may be nearing the end of its tightening cycle.
