The market is repricing risk as capital rotates from the “Paper Economy” of tech stocks into the “Managed Economy” of strategic hard assets. In this episode of Kitco News, Anchor Jeremy Szafron is joined by Joe Cavatoni, Market Strategist for the World Gold Council, to break down the massive discrepancy in central bank gold buying data. While official IMF data reports approximately 326 tonnes of net buying for 2025, Cavatoni reveals that the “true” demand—including unreported OTC flows—is tracking closer to 680 tonnes. They discuss why sovereigns are “going dark” with their accumulation, the implications of the “Project Vault” price…

The US economy is flashing contradictory signals. While consumer retail sales have stalled and delinquency rates hit near-decade highs, financial assets are moving at historic speeds. US equity markets are seeing daily turnover surpass $1 trillion, and gold is holding firm in the $5,000 range. Will Rhind, Founder and CEO of GraniteShares, joins Jeremy Szafron to explain why this disconnect is happening and who is actually driving the volume. Rhind argues that the US has become the global liquidity sink for the world’s capital, with international investors forced to trade US names to access the AI trade. He also breaks…

In this exclusive Outlook 2026 special, David Rosenberg, President of Rosenberg Research, joins Jeremy Szafron to dismantle the “Soft Landing” narrative and expose the massive disconnect between Wall Street pricing and Main Street reality. While the S&P 500 hits record highs, Rosenberg presents forensic data showing that the U.S. economy has already entered a “silent” contraction that is being masked by government hiring and a stock market bubble. THE “NO HIRE” ECONOMY: Rosenberg reveals that beneath the headline payroll numbers, the “hiring rate” has collapsed to cycle lows—a dynamic he calls “No Hire, No Fire.” He explains why official government…

Ted Oakley, Founder and Managing Partner at Oxbow Advisors, returns to Kitco News to discuss what he calls the market’s “sobering up” phase. With jobless claims hitting winter highs and major tech stocks surrendering value, Oakley argues that we are witnessing a fundamental “changing of the guard.” He explains why he believes the AI boom has turned “cash generating machines into capital investment machines,” leveraging balance sheets to dangerous levels. Oakley breaks down the “bifurcated situation” where Wall Street bonuses hit records while the average consumer “can’t borrow any more money.” He details his strategy for navigating the “second year…

Gold just had its worst quarter since 2013 while stocks had their best since 2020, so where does a $3.5 billion money manager invest now? Jeff Sarti of Morton Wealth on what to do after the gold pullback, the new Fed chair, and the AI trade. Jeff Sarti, chief executive of Morton Wealth, joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron for his first appearance on the channel. He explains why he’s underweight stocks near “1999 dot-com” levels, why he calls passive investing a “mindless, price-agnostic” force driving the market, why the gold community shouldn’t write off new Fed chair Kevin Warsh,…

Tech, gold, and silver are plummeting together today in what 40-year veteran floor trader Todd ‘Bubba’ Horwitz calls a “100% margin call.” In this interview with Kitco News, Bubba breaks down why the simultaneous liquidation across safe havens and risk assets is a warning sign of a system-wide flush. He explains why the massive $2.3B insider liquidation at AI giant CoreWeave is a distraction from the real structural rot in the economy, warning that true unemployment is already sitting at 8.5%. While Bubba forecasts an eventual 40% to 60% market crash, he explains his exact options strategy for staying long…

Is the recent 7% drop in silver a warning sign, or the final shakeout before a massive repricing? Kitco News Senior Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Michael Oliver, founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, to break down why his $300 to $500 silver target remains intact despite hot U.S. jobs data and a shift in Fed rate expectations. Oliver unpacks his long-term momentum charts, detailing how silver was “caught in a box” for 50 years and why it is now poised to enter a new price reality. He also warns of a brewing government bond crisis, a potential landmine for…

Triple-digit silver is now a “certainty.” In this Outlook 2026 special, Ronald-Peter Stöferle, Managing Partner at Incrementum AG, breaks down why the “Golden Decade” is entering its aggressive second half—and why investors need to abandon the traditional 60/40 portfolio immediately. Ronnie joins Jeremy Szafron to discuss the “4.5 Sigma” event in gold, the “Bretton Woods Realignment” signaled by U.S. policymakers, and his high-conviction call for silver to hit $100+. He also reveals why his proprietary “Active Aurum Signal” for miners recently flashed NEUTRAL, and what that means for your entry strategy in 2026. Recorded on December 11 2025 This Outlook…

This special bonus segment was recorded in late 2025 as part of Kitco News’ Outlook 2026 series. After their full interviews, we asked Lynette Zang, David Rosenberg, Lobo Tiggre, Mike McGlone and Peter Schiff one final question: If you were in your 20s today, starting with limited savings and rising debt in a system under structural strain, what is the one decision or discipline you would adopt in 2026? And what is the one mistake young people are making now that could matter far more over the next decade than they realize? Their answers are candid, practical and at times…

Gold’s brutal 40% miner selloff was a “classic washout,” not a breakdown, says Brien Lundin, and what comes next could leave Wall Street watching from the sidelines. Speaking with Kitco News at the Rule Symposium 2026, the Gold Newsletter editor and New Orleans Investment Conference host said the June 24 plunge to $4,000 “really felt like capitulation,” and that level has held as a floor since. He likens today’s sentiment to 1999 and 2000, the bottom that launched the entire 2000s bull. And he argues the market has changed hands: no longer driven purely by central banks, “the Western market…
