Gold and silver were hit by a sharp liquidation, with silver plunging more than 10% intraday and gold falling nearly $150 before stabilizing. Jeremy Szafron speaks with former JP Morgan bullion desk executive Robert Gottlieb to break down what drove the move. Gottlieb argues the selloff was structural, not conspiratorial. With gold rising from $2,600 to around $5,000 and silver surging from $28 to above $70, volatility mechanically reduced allowable position size across banks and funds. “The allowable positions based on navar become significantly small,” he explains, as value-at-risk limits tightened and banks stepped back from warehousing risk. In a…

Gold and silver just suffered their first major volatility shock of the year, with gold swinging nearly $500 in a single session and silver whipsawing violently. While some see a breakdown, Danielle DiMartino Booth says the move looks less like a top and more like a liquidity flush clearing leverage from the system. Speaking with Kitco News, the CEO and Chief Strategist of QI Research said markets that move parabolically “need healthy breathers,” warning that margin calls can spread quickly as stress rises across equities, credit, and commodities. She said the turbulence is coinciding with renewed credit stress, noting “we’re…

The Federal Reserve has cut rates by 25 basis points and confirmed $40 billion per month in reserve management purchases, sending fresh liquidity into the system. As the announcement hit the market, silver went parabolic, breaking into new all-time highs above $62, while gold continued to consolidate firmly above $4,200. Gary Wagner of TheGoldForecast.com joins Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron to map the next phase of this historic metals rally. Wagner explains how silver’s breakout above $54 triggered the surge to $59 and why the post-Fed jump through $61 and $62 puts the market into true price discovery. He also…

The S&P 500 is pricing in a perfect soft landing, but the physical economy is screaming recession. In this Outlook 2026 special, Mike McGlone, Senior Macro Strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, joins Jeremy Szafron to warn that the markets are facing a “Great Reversion” similar to 1929.

McGlone breaks down his “frightening” outlook for 2026, predicting extreme volatility where Gold could hit…

Gold and silver are not just hitting records, Robert Kiyosaki says they’re revealing a deeper shift in how money, debt, and trust are being repriced. Speaking with Kitco News at VRIC 2026, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author weighed in as gold trades above $5,000 and silver holds triple digits. Kiyosaki argued that silver’s move reflects structural pressure, not speculation, calling it “the information age’s metal” and the backbone of modern technology as AI demand accelerates. He warned that silver supply is constrained and difficult to expand, adding, “You can’t find it. That’s the big news.” Kiyosaki also pointed to…

Ray Dalio warns the monetary order is breaking down, and Dr. Mark Thornton says the fiat system is now in the “Intensive Care Unit.” In this interview, Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, to break down why central banks are fleeing Treasuries for physical gold and what the “Skyscraper Curse” signals for a 2026 crash. They discuss the massive 150-ton gold purchase by Poland, a strategic move by a NATO ally that signals a loss of trust in the debt-based system. Dr. Thornton also exposes a critical, under-reported crisis…

Gold is at a new record level, and silver has seen extreme intraday moves, forcing a long-standing question back to the surface for mining investors. Speaking with Kitco News at VRIC 2026 in Vancouver, Ross Beaty and Bob Quartermain discuss whether this price action can finally drive a sustained rerating across mining equities or repeat a familiar cycle where metals surge and miners lag. Beaty, Chairman of Equinox Gold, draws a clear distinction between gold and silver. He calls the silver market “very frothy, very bubbly,” and “overblown” in a market that is “about 10% the size of the gold…

Following a public spat where President Trump called him a “loser” on Truth Social, Schiff argues the bond market has finally declared a winner.

He lays out his roadmap for 2026, predicting a “quick” move…

As the Bloomberg Commodity Index rebalancing kicks off a 5-day “mechanical shakeout” in the markets, Silver is under pressure while Gold refuses to break structure. Is this the start of a deep correction, or a massive trap for short sellers? In this technical analysis deep dive, Gary Wagner of TheGoldForecast.com joins Jeremy Saffron to separate the noise from the trend.
