The world is changing as gold becomes the most important global reserve currency.

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.

Today un-tradable conditions for both bulls and bears took place in the silver market as a historic breakdown occurred. 

Here is one example of gold's skyrocketing purchasing power as the price of gold is now firmly above the $5,000 level.

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.

Buckle up because this is about to massively rock global markets!

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.

Today James Turk told King World News that the price of silver will skyrocket above the fair value of $300-$500.

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.

Gold and silver surged to new all-time highs again today, but look at what just hit a level not seen since 1972.

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.

With the price of gold hitting new all-time highs along with silver and the mining stocks seeing a historic upside breakout, here is the gold quote of the day!

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.

After a day like today, what could go wrong?

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.

The United States is now headed for total collapse.

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.

Gold blasted past $4,600 while silver hit record highs above $90 this week. Geopolitical chaos, Fed independence concerns, and supply constraints are driving the rally. Plus: new silver trading rules, Trump's latest Powell comments, and why inflation looks worse than headlines suggest.

Silver’s surge past $90 isn’t a fluke. A worsening supply deficit, rising sovereign demand, and major monetary shifts are driving powerful momentum into 2026.

Silver shattered records Tuesday, breaking above $90 for the first time and hitting $92.39. Citigroup forecasts $100 by March. Meanwhile, gold miners rally as bullion eyes $5,000, the Fed signals a pause on rate cuts, and oil jumps on escalating Iran tensions.

Silver enters 2026 with a rare combination of supply shortages, rising government demand, and supportive monetary conditions. Alan Hibbard explains why silver’s setup may be one of the most compelling investment opportunities of the year.

U.S. inflation held steady in December, but markets face growing risks beneath the surface. Political pressure on the Fed, shifting rate expectations, and record-setting moves in gold and silver are reshaping the precious metals landscape.

Daily News Nuggets | Today’s top stories for gold and silver investors  January 12th, 2026  A Rare Challenge to Fed Independence Shakes Markets  In an unusually direct escalation, the Justice Department under President Trump has served subpoenas on the Federal Reserve and threatened criminal charges tied to Chair Jerome Powell’s congressional testimony — a move widely...

Learn how to use this powerful valuation tool to time your...

U.S. job growth is fading, housing starts have slumped to pandemic-era lows, and China’s economy remains under pressure. As growth doubts spread globally, gold is holding firm — supported by shifting Fed expectations and steady central bank demand.

If earning six figures still feels like falling behind, you’re not alone. This breakdown reveals why the real poverty line in America may be closer to $140,000—and how outdated metrics hide the true cost of modern life.

Gold pulled back as commodity index rebalancing and a stronger dollar pressured prices ahead of U.S. jobs data. But central bank buying, geopolitical risk, and shifting reserve strategies suggest markets may be underestimating gold’s longer-term support.

Precious metals investors are watching market conditions closely as gold and silver hover at pivotal price points. While both metals have already posted impressive gains, multiple converging factors suggest we may be witnessing the early stages of a significant price surge rather than a market peak. From record central bank...
