In my first interview of 2025 I spoke to Patrick Karim of North Star Bad Charts. We dove straight into the markets for 2025, focusing on gold, silver, and other key assets. Patrick is always insightful, and this time I asked him what he thinks is in the charts for the year ahead. Patrick pointed […]
It’s only the 9th of January, but looking at the headlines, it feels like we’re already deep into the year. From devastating environmental crises to a President-elect already reshaping US foreign relations, and a bond market sell-off, the world is off to a tumultuous start. Today, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs […]
Last night, I attended the Annual LBMA Dinner in London, joined by representatives from central banks, refineries, depositories, and international bullion dealers such as GoldCore. This event is always insightful, but this year’s discussions were particularly compelling given the significant price movements over the past 12 months. As expected, conversations turned to the role of […]
I write to you less than 24 hours before Ireland heads to the polls to decide who will lead the country, as the term of the current coalition government—comprising Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, and the Green Party—comes to an end. At present, the economy—and by extension, the incumbent government—is feeling buoyant thanks to robust corporate […]
What will AI do to life as we know it? This is the question dominating so many platforms at the moment. From company boardrooms to government debates, the power of AI is something that is scaring and impressing in equal measure. So it was with interest when I spoke to James Rickards about his new book, […]
What has President Trump’s victory done to gold and silver? Well, gold and silver both took a pretty big hit yesterday but this is a ‘news driven move’ according to my guest this week on GoldCore TV. Chris Vermuelen joins us this week, and what a great time to have him on. I asked him if the US […]
How much higher will gold go? Yesterday it was within striking distance of $,2800, and whilst it may have pulled back earlier on today on the back of some technical selling, we believe the next week could hold yet more new highs. The coming days will be pivotal for shaping the future of risk sentiment and consumer […]
Earlier today data on US benefit payments was released and whilst it was weaker than previously, gold did not appear to really respond. Gold appears to have settled itself into a new holding pattern at these elevated levels, so disinterested it appears to be in economic releases. However, we will see what happens tomorrow when Non-Farm Payrolls data […]
What a week. At the time of writing gold is around $2,670 having pulled back slightly better than expected US consumer data. This morning December gold futures hit $2,708. And to think that just three weeks ago Goldman Sachs were saying we might see $2,700 gold next year. Silver continues to delight, reaching the highest price level […]
We write to you as we approach the end of another record-breaking week. This was the week, of course, when gold proved its mettle and broke through the $2,500 ceiling. The ceiling is both technical and psychological. Why did the price push through $2,500? According to both the LBMA and the World Gold Council it is […]
