Iran's IRGC Seizes Two 'Fuel-Smuggling' Vessels In Gulf Amid US Showdown Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy says it has seized two vessels near Farsi Island allegedly carrying large quantities of smuggled fuel, the country's Students' News Agency (ISNA) reported Thursday - at a moment the nation's military has its "finger on the trigger" amid threats from the Trump White House and Israel. More than one million liters of diesel were discovered aboard the ships, according to the IRGC Navy's public relations office, and the seized 15 foreign crew members have been […]

Gold's Going To $10,000: Martin Armstrong Warns "Europe Is Desperate For War" Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com, Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong warned in late December to be ready for the “Perfect Storm for Debt, Economy, War, Gold & Silver.”  The rain and thunder started at the beginning of February, and the storm is just beginning.  Armstrong says, “This is where the volatility starts kicking in..." "  I think Europe is so desperate for war.  My concern with the Trump Administration is I would not step a foot in […]

Initial Jobless Claims Jump As YTD Job Cuts Hit Highest Since 2009, AI Blamed Initial jobless claims rose more than expected last week to 231k (212k exp) from 209k prior. While a significant rise, it remains - for now - within the low range of the last four years... Source: Bloomberg Continuing claims also rose modestly, but less than expected. 1.844mm Americans are currently filing for jobless benefits (below the 1.85 million expected, but up from the 1.819 million the prior week). Notably this is still well below the 1.9 million Maginot Line that has become a switching […]

EUR Flat As ECB Leaves Rates Unch; Cable Drops On BoE's 'Dovish Hold' In a surprise to traders, The Bank of England came within a vote of cutting interest rates and predicted inflation will fall below its target, a closer-than-expected decision that revived hopes of a move next month. As Bloomberg reports, Governor Bailey was once again the swing voter in a 5-4 decision to leave rates unchanged at 3.75%, choosing to hold policy having cut at the last meeting in December. Bailey said in a statement that “there should be scope for some further reduction in bank rate this […]

Futures, Bitcoin, Gold All Tumble As Momentum Liquidations Accelerate Stock futures slide, hitting session lows just after 7am ET, after a two-day drop that saw an ETF tracking software stocks sink to its lowest since April. As of 8:00am ET, S&P 500 futures have slumped to session lows, down 0.7% following a sharp slide just after 7am ET; Nasdaq 100 futures are also sharply lower, dropping 0.8% after the index wiped out its gains for the year over the prior two sessions. Alphabet is lower in after it said capex will reach as much as $185 billion this year, double what it […]

"Challenging External Environment": Volvo Crashes Most On Record After Earnings Miss Shares in Volvo Cars crashed the most on record in Stockholm, with Bloomberg data going back to late 2021, after it reported fourth-quarter earnings that missed analyst expectations. A toxic blend of higher US tariffs, cuts to EV subsidies, a stronger Swedish krona versus a weaker dollar, and an intensifying price war in China all squeezed fourth-quarter profitability, the Swedish-origin automaker detailed in its earnings release. It reported an Ebit margin of just 2% and an operating income […]

Memory Shortage Fears Spread, Raising Alarm At Qualcomm And Arm Consumers are about to learn that one of the most frustrating side effects of the AI boom will be the "great memory crunch." Surging data center demand is siphoning high-bandwidth memory (HBM) supply away from consumer devices, setting the stage for slower growth across the electronics industry this year. We have been vocal about this HBM crunch, even citing industry insiders who say shortages are only set intensify. "If you want to buy any consumer goods, PCs, or smartphones ... do it now," one industry insider […]

What Goes Around: The EU's Extralegal Sanctions Regime Submitted by Pascal Lottaz It has come as a shock to many of us in the alternative media sphere when, on December 15, the EU put the esteemed analyst, political commentator, and former Swiss Army colonel Jacques Baud, on its Russia-Sanctions list. He was one of several newly sanctioned individuals (alongside, for instance, the popular French journalist, Xavier Moreau). Baud is already the second Swiss to be sanctioned. In June 2025, the EU announced that Nathalie Yamb, a Swiss-Cameroonian activist against neocolonialism, […]

These Are America's Healthiest States “Blue Zones” are regions of the world where people live longer and healthier lives, supported by habits that boost longevity. Loma Linda, California is one of the few recognized Blue Zones, alongside Okinawa, Japan and Ikaria, Greece. Just as place can have a powerful influence on health outcomes, differences vary meaningfully across America. This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, shows the healthiest U.S. states, based on data from America’s Health Rankings Report by the UnitedHealth Foundation. The Northeast […]

Dutch Government Refuses To Probe UK Travel Ban On Eva Vlaardingerbroek Authored by Thomas Brooke via Remix News, The Dutch government has refused to investigate or seek clarification from the United Kingdom after Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek had her permission to travel to Britain revoked, confirming it has not even asked London for an explanation over the decision. The position was set out in formal parliamentary responses from Foreign Affairs Minister Caspar Veldkamp’s ministry, delivered on Jan. 30 by Minister Van Weel, after questions were submitted by […]

UBS: SpaceX-xAI Merger Signals Rise Of "Orbital AI" In September 2024, we penned a note that Elon Musk was on track to become the world's first trillionaire by 2027, driven by what we described as "space race bets." That call looks increasingly correct following the merger of Musk's SpaceX and xAI earlier this week, a transaction that has lifted his net worth to $850 billion. By contrast, former WeWork CEO Adam Neumann, who once famously said in 2019 that he wanted to live forever and be the first trillionaire, must be watching Musk's empire soar to new heights in disgust. […]

EU Inc: Can Brussels' Latest Corporate Reform Escape Bureaucracy's Grip Submitted by Thomas Kolbe The European Commission is responding to mounting criticism of over-bureaucratization with the introduction of a new corporate legal form. “EU Inc” is intended to create a uniform legal structure that applies across the entire European Union economic area. A charming idea—but one that quickly sinks in the general bureaucratic madness. The European Union has reached a point where it is considered lucky if a handful of days pass without new regulatory initiatives from the […]

How Fast Is The Asian Population Ageing? The latest revision of UN World Population Prospects reveals that demographic shift is no longer a distant projection but an accelerating reality across parts of Asia, with the share of people aged 65 and over rising fast in several countries. As Statista's Tristan Gaudiaut reports, this trend poses a significant challenge in the region for labor markets, public finances and care systems within a single generation. The figures (UN medium-scenario projections) show Japan already far ahead, as older adults made up already around 29 […]

Netherlands To Tax Unrealized Gains: EU Wealth Grab And Global Implications Submitted by Thomas Kolbe A fiscal storm is brewing in the Netherlands. With the potential introduction of a tax on unrealized capital gains, The Hague is set to become a testing ground for the systematic transfer of wealth from the private sector to the state. Across all government levels, the European Union is increasingly transforming into an aggressive parasitic system. A fundamental clash between the public and private sectors is intensifying across the EU. In March, both chambers of the Dutch […]

Russia Offers To Remove All Enriched Uranium From Iran On potential upcoming US-Iran talks, the two sides can't agree on scope - with Washington wanting to go beyond just the nuclear sphere and into the question of Tehran putting limits on its ballistic missile arsenal. The Iranians have given a firm no on this, and so the talks look doomed to fail. But Russia is now offering - or at least reiterating - a potentially huge overture. "Moscow is willing to take what remains of Iran’s enriched uranium," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said Wednesday. […]

Germany Faces Gas Shortage Crisis: Industry Demands Strategic Reserve Submitted by Thomas Kolbe Following the Federal Network Agency, the umbrella organization of the energy industry is now also calling for the establishment of a national strategic natural gas reserve. The coordinated push by the sector makes it clear that the decline in gas storage levels is far more severe than politics has so far admitted. Kerstin Andreae, chairwoman of the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW), called on Monday in an interview with the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland for […]

Brad Karp, Chairman Of Top Law Firm Paul Weiss, Resigns Over Epstein Ties The chairman of one of the nation's top law firms suddenly resigned Wednesday evening after a series of embarrassing emails emerged between him and Jeffrey Epstein became public in recent days. Brad Karp, who has been at the helm of law firm Paul Weiss for 18 years, gave no explanation for his decision - aside form a statement that "Recent reporting has created a distraction and has placed a focus on me that is not in the best interests of the firm." The firm, which has over 1,200 lawyers, represents […]

"I Deeply Regret": Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman Deny Epstein Malarkey, And Here's Some Weird Sh*t As the latest Epstein Files release continues to provide premium toilet reading and no arrests, tech billionaires Bill Gates and Linkedin founder Reid Hoffman are in full damage control mode, while President Donald Trump - whose name is all over the files as well, is back to asking if we can just move on. Other notables mentioned in the release are Steve Tisch, Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Harvey Weinstein, Leon Black, Peter Mandelson (who just imploded), Sergey Brin, Jason Calacanis, […]

How Will Key Countries Respond To Washington's Attempted Restoration Of Unipolarity? Authored by Andrew Korybko, The US’ new National Security and Defense Strategies, which collectively articulate the “Trump Doctrine”, make clear that the US’ grand strategic goal is to restore its predominant position (unipolarity) over the world. Unlike during the short-lived unipolar era that followed the end of the Old Cold War, this time the US is explicitly reluctant to embroil itself in overseas conflicts that risk overextending itself, and it’ll also now rely more on its […]

Hong Kong Graduates Face Toughest Job Market In Five Years Hong Kong’s graduate job market reached its weakest level in five years in 2025, as hiring dropped sharply and wages showed almost no growth, according to SCMP. University data revealed that job openings fell by 55 per cent from the previous year, declining to just over 30,000 positions, even lower than during the pandemic period. This marked a major shift from earlier years, when more than 80,000 graduate jobs were available annually. The steady decline since 2023 suggests that opportunities for young people have been […]

Netanyahu Tells US Envoys Iran Cannot Be Trusted If Deal Is Reached Via The Libertarian Institute Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US envoy Steve Witkoff during a meeting in Jerusalem on Tuesday that Iran cannot be trusted, as Witkoff prepares for potential talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. "Ahead of Envoy Witkoff’s departure to meet with a representative of Iran, the Prime Minister clarified his position that Iran has proven time and again that its promises cannot be relied upon," Netanyahu’s office said in a statement after the talks. via […]

Silver Crashes 20% As China Opens, Gold & Bitcoin Also Plunging On the heels of today's momentum collapse in the US, Silver prices have puked almost 20% in a matter of hours after Asian markets opened... ...erasing the rebound gains of the last three days... The overall decline from when Trump's announcement of Warsh's nomination as the next Fed Chair is now back up to 40%. “Sentiment seems to have turned soggy across most asset classes, including regional equities and metals,” said Christopher Wong, a strategist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp Ltd. “This […]

The US Might Make The Sahelian Alliance An Offer That It Can't Refuse Authored by Andrews Korybko, Its members might be told by the Bureau of African Affairs’ chief to let the US replace or at least “balance” Russia’s role as their top security partner under implied pain of US-backed Nigerian military pressure on anti-terrorist pretexts, French-backed terrorist advances, and/or US anti-terrorist strikes. The US’ Bureau of African Affairs announced over the weekend that its chief will travel to Bamako “to convey the United States’ respect for Mali’s […]

Vance To Lead Sweeping Anti-Fraud Task Force Investigating California Vice President JD Vance is poised to chair a new White House task force aimed at rooting out potential fraud and abuse in government programs in California, according to CBS News. Andrew Ferguson, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, is expected to serve as the task force's vice chairman and handle day-to-day operations, CBS News reports. President Donald Trump is anticipated to issue an executive order in the coming days to formally establish the group, the news outlet said. The White House task force […]

Will The New Fed Chair Fix The Money? Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times, The choice of Kevin Warsh as the new chairman of the Federal Reserve has received mixed reviews, as can be expected. His professional connections lean establishment in every way, which is perhaps not what Trump’s base expected. More interesting is that Warsh is on record as an inflation hawk, a critic of zero-interest rate policies, and a critic of the war on cryptocurrency. All of this strikes me as a good sign, even if he has since hinted in the direction of favoring lower rates. In […]

Daily News Nuggets | Today’s top stories for gold and silver investors  February 4th, 2026 | Brandon Sauerwein, Editor  Gold Over $5,000, Silver Surges After Deep Sell-Off  Gold futures reclaimed the $5,000/oz mark Wednesday, rebounding after last week’s historic plunge. Prices rose about 3% to roughly $5,070/oz, while silver surged 8–10% toward the $90/oz level. The bounce followed one of the sharpest precious-metals sell-offs in...

Friday's historic takedown in the gold and silver markets caused some dealers to close the door on precious metals purchases.

Silver’s wild price swings aren’t a sign the market is broken. They’re a hallmark of how silver reprices during major shifts. Understanding silver price volatility can help investors avoid panic and stay positioned for what comes next.

This is the biggest breakout in history!

Gold climbed 6.2% and silver surged 10% Tuesday as precious metals rebounded from their worst selloff in decades. Mining stocks rallied alongside the comeback. Meanwhile, Trump unveiled a $12 billion mineral reserve to counter China and slashed India tariffs to 18%—though key details remain missing.

If you’ve ever wondered why physical silver trades above the spot price, the answer lies in how silver is priced. This article breaks down silver price components—spot, premiums, and dealer markup—and explains why bid/ask spreads widen during periods of high prices, tight credit, and refining bottlenecks.

Below is a major gold and silver update after Friday's crash in the silver market.

Gold fell nearly $1,000 from record highs while silver crashed 31% in the worst precious metals rout in decades. Chinese speculators fueled the rally — then sparked the collapse. Yet JP Morgan raised its target to $6,300 and Singapore buyers lined up for more.

Making sense of Friday's utterly rigged nonsense in the silver market.

What to do after Friday's brutal $37 plunge in the silver market.

On the heels of a historic plunge in gold and silver with banks covering massive short positions.  Here is a look at the aftermath of the carnage.

Silver price forecasts revisited reveal how quickly Wall Street projections fell behind reality. As silver surged past $100, fundamentals—not bank targets—told the real story.

Gold tumbled 7% Friday as Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to replace Jerome Powell at the Fed. Despite the pullback, gold is up 15% in January—its best month since 1999. Wall Street now sees $8,000+ gold by decade's end, while Asian buyers pay record premiums.

Today Graddhy sent King World News a note warning that the gold market has now seen a short-term top, although longer-term gold price will be wildly higher than what is being quoted today.

Mike Maloney is stepping back from regular GoldSilver videos to focus on his health—but the mission continues. In a candid conversation with Alan Hibbard, Mike reflects on his work, the community he built, and what comes next for GoldSilver.

On the heels of the price of gold futures surging above the $5,600 level before pulling back, billionaire Pierre Lassonde told King Word News he predicts the price of gold

Gold rockets past $5,500 per ounce, hitting fresh records as investors pile into safe-haven assets. Global gold demand reached an all-time high in 2025, while Bitcoin's "digital gold" narrative takes a hit. Copper surges on China speculation, and the Fed holds rates steady at 3.5-3.75%.

What can one ounce of gold actually buy? The answer reveals gold's true value better than any price chart. In 1971, one ounce bought dinner for three at London's Savoy Grill. Today, it buys dinner for fourteen. A quality suit cost one ounce in the 1920s—and still does today. Meanwhile,...

Gold surged past $5,300 for the first time as the Federal Reserve begins its policy meeting amid growing dollar concerns. Silver hit $116, squeezing solar manufacturers. The dollar dropped to four-year lows on Fed independence fears. Meanwhile, Australia's inflation is heading the opposite direction.

Gold is surging above $5,000 as demand from central banks and investors overwhelms limited supply—raising big questions about where prices could head by 2026.

Gold blasted past $5,100 per ounce, hitting an all-time high as debt crisis fears grip global markets. Silver surged to $117.69. Former Fed officials warn inflation is accelerating. The dollar is weakening. And Deutsche Bank just raised its gold target to $6,000. Here's what's happening.

Gold shattered the $5,000 barrier for the first time on Jan. 26 while silver topped $100, marking historic milestones as investors flee risk assets. Japan's bond market meltdown, Fed uncertainty, and supply disruptions are driving unprecedented demand for safe-haven assets.

Silver just crossed $100 — and contrary to Wall Street’s blowoff fears, this silver bull market is accelerating. Here’s what history and trust cycles reveal.

Gold is approaching $5,000 per ounce. Silver is pushing toward $100. Bitcoin remains stuck around $89,000 — down 26% from its highs. When real uncertainty hits, investors are choosing what's worked for millennia. Plus: the copper shortage threatening global growth.

A Danish pension fund just dumped its entire U.S. Treasury position over fiscal concerns. The $100M sale seems tiny—but if other foreign institutions follow suit, the impact on gold could be massive. Here's what investors need to know.

Gold retreated from record highs after Trump softened his Greenland stance, but Goldman Sachs just raised its year-end target to $5,400. With GDP strong but labor markets frozen, inflation still elevated, and central banks buying, Wall Street sees higher prices ahead for precious metals.

Gold and silver didn’t just perform well in 2025 — they dominated every major asset class. With silver up 146% and gold rising 64%, metals sent a clear signal about where investors placed their trust during a year defined by uncertainty.

Gold blew past $4,800 per ounce Wednesday, hitting another record high amid a diplomatic crisis over Greenland. Investors are dumping U.S. assets and buying precious metals as geopolitical tensions escalate. Analysts now see gold pushing toward $5,000 this year.

As the DOJ investigates Fed Chair Jerome Powell, markets are reading between the lines. This isn’t about a building—it’s about interest rates, debt pressure, and why gold and silver are already responding.

Gold jumped 3.11% to clear $4,700 per ounce while silver rocketed 5.8% higher past $95. The rally reflects mounting concerns about tariffs, dollar debasement, and geopolitical turmoil. Trump's Greenland threats, crashing bond markets, and Fed independence attacks are driving safe-haven demand.

Silver has been officially labeled a national security issue by the U.S. government, a shift that could reshape supply chains, trigger price floors, and send silver prices sharply higher.

Gold and silver prices pull back after weeks of gains, but the forces driving metals higher remain intact. Central banks added 45 tonnes in November, bringing year-to-date purchases to 297 tonnes. Plus: What an ounce of gold buys today vs. 50 years ago, and Trump's Venezuela oil deal.

The CME’s shift to percentage-based margin requirements is changing how silver trades in the paper market. While leveraged traders and short sellers face rising costs as prices climb, physical silver investors remain completely unaffected — a distinction that could matter more as volatility and supply tightness increase.
