Mike Maharrey kicks off the Money Metals Midweek Memo with a confession. Over a decade ago, he almost turned down a role in the precious metals industry—because he didn’t want to be called a “gold bug.” The term carries baggage, conjuring images of paranoid preppers...

Gold inflows into ETFs through the first half of 2025 hit levels not seen since the pandemic, and that trend continued through July. According to the latest data compiled by the World Gold Council, 22.8 tonnes of gold valued at around $3.2 billion flowed into gold-...

Last week, the Federal Reserve seemed to take note of the increasing speculation about the possibility of revaluing U.S. gold reserves to improve the financial position of governments and central banks, enabling more money creation and debt reduction.

While most retail investors in the West are still trying to figure out how to spell gold or silver, conditions in the East remain quite a bit different. Especially as China's Shanghai gold stockpile has surged.

Gold represents financial security – even when the world is against you. Russia has used its extensive gold holdings to keep its economy afloat in the midst of aggressive Western sanctions after it invaded Ukraine. Recent reports indicate Iran is doing the same.

If the jobs are collapsing and it's not just a one-time thing and the inflation is strong, we got stagflation. This is why gold is strong.

We're finally seeing a somewhat calmer day in the gold and silver markets. Although there's plenty happening beneath the surface, including the size of the bank short positions, that we will be seeing the effects of later this year.

Here is the planetary representation I came up with called the Macrocosm. The larger the planet, the more positively relevant to gold mining macro fundamentals.

Although gold has been relatively quiet in recent months following a strong start to the year, many investors have lost interest or assumed the rally has run its course. 

Tuesday is often quite a soft day for gold. There are numerous theories about why it happens, but the more important news is if there is softness today, it could mark the final low before a powerful surge to $3800 begins.

Citibank just did a 180 on gold and now forecasts new record highs before the end of the year. Just six weeks after lowering its forecast and warning that gold could drop below $3,000 before the end of the year, Citibank now projects gold will hit $3,500 an ounce...

As gold has recovered following last week's selloff, one of the banks just issued a gold price target upgrade. Although let's just say Citi didn't exactly make the boldest call in history, as they forecast gold hitting $3,500 by November.

Miners moved quite sharply higher – just as the general stock market did, but… There are only two charts that really matter right now – and they both feature the USD Index.

The best performing precious metal for the past week was gold, up 0.56%. Gold regained ground this week, breaking a two-week run of losses when the weaker than expected U.S. jobs growth was reported and prior numbers being revised down too. This sparked a rally in...

In a compelling episode of the Money Metals Podcast, host Mike Maharrey sits down with Frank E. Holmes, CEO and CIO of U.S. Global Investors and Executive Chairman of Hive Blockchain Technologies, for a wide-ranging discussion on gold, platinum, interest rates, the...

Higher prices appear to have put a drag on central bank gold buying. However, the pace of expanding gold reserves remains far above the historical average.

In today's video, I'm going to get very specific and very technical. I'm going to delve more into gold's current consolidation and discuss how and why gold and other markets can go sideways and consolidate for months and months.

Friday became another pretty wild day in the financial markets after the labor report was released, and when it came in lower than expected, Trump then fired the commissioner of the agency that compiles the data.

And do you know what isn’t normal? When a market that is driven by some other market pretty much ignores its strong indications. Just like what mining stocks did relative to gold.

Ask ten gold investors why they own gold, and you’ll likely get ten different answers. Some see gold as insurance against disaster—financial crisis, currency collapse, geopolitical instability.
