Money Metals' Weekly Market Wrap Podcast

Gold has basked in the spotlight in recent months, and while silver is up by roughly the same amount in percentage terms this year, most investors feel it has underperformed. But as host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Midweek Memo, technical analysis reveals an extremely bullish pattern emerging in the silver market. Coupled with strong fundamentals, Mike argues there's an extremely strong upside case for silver. In this episode, he also discusses a shift in silver demand from the West to the East, similar to a pattern we've seen in gold. 

This week, Chris Powell of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, gives an explanation of why governments want to keep a lid on precious metals prices, how the weaponization of the dollar has become a very dangerous policy for the U.S. government, and also makes the case that the healthy rise in the price of gold over the past 25 years is a serious indictment against central banks and an indication of how efforts to limit gold’s gains have been less and less successful. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash?

We live in a microwave world. But the economy is roasting in a slow cooker. In this episode of the Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey talks about modern news media and the struggle to make sense of a slowly unfolding economy in a world where headlines drive decision-making. Along the way, he maps out some of the fundamentals he sees underlying today's economy. He goes on to talk about Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech and the trajectory of monetary policy in a broader economic context, why more inflation is in the pipeline, and the current state of the gold market. 

Economist Daniel Lacalle, professor of Global Economy at IE Business School in Madrid, offers his well-studied insights on the state of global inflation, how that inflation has become the accepted policy by central planners around the world, and gives us one of the best explanations about how governments benefit from this and use it to stay in power and control the masses. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash?
