Russia's Planned Revival Of RIC Is Unlikely For Three Reasons Authored by Andrew Korybko, The Sino-Indo rapprochement is still in its infancy, their territorial disputes remain unresolved, and India is under lots of pressure from the US nowadays. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared during his first press conference of the year that Moscow wants to revive the Russia-India-China (RIC) format.  In his words, “[RIC] still exists – though it has not convened in some time – but has not been disbanded. We are working to revive its activities.” For as […]

Meet The Man Who Bought $1 Billion In Physical Silver Before The Rally The precious metals complex resumed its upward trajectory overnight. Shortly after the US equity cash open, silver surged above $100 per ounce for the first time on record, while gold approached the $5,000 per ounce level. As Rick Privorotsky, head of Delta One at Goldman Sachs, noted to clients earlier, flows suggest some speculative participation, but the dominant driver remains structural: "There is clearly hot money involved, but first and foremost gold is a central bank trade… a slow erosion of the […]

China Has Officially Overtaken Tesla In The Global EV Race Chinese automakers, led by BYD, are rapidly reshaping the global electric-vehicle market and challenging long-established brands such as Volkswagen, Toyota, BMW—and even Tesla, according to the Wall Street Journal. Once dismissed by Western buyers, Chinese EVs are now gaining wide acceptance. “These Chinese cars look fantastic,” one shopper said while browsing a BYD model in London, reflecting a broader shift in perception. BYD has emerged as the most powerful symbol of China’s rise in electric vehicles. The […]

The EU-US $800BN Postwar Ukraine 'Prosperity' Plan Which Should Outrage MAGA Ukraine is now begging the EU and US for $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years at a moment its prospects on the battlefield look no better than a year ago. This reportedly includes an ask of $800 billion for "reconstruction" and $700 billion for "military purposes".

AI-Induced Cultural Stagnation Is No Longer Speculation − It's Already Happening Authored by Ahmed Elgammal, via The Conversation Generative AI was trained on centuries of art and writing produced by humans. But scientists and critics have wondered what would happen once AI became widely adopted and started training on its outputs. A new study points to some answers. In January 2026, artificial intelligence researchers Arend Hintze, Frida Proschinger Åström and Jory Schossau published a study showing what happens when generative AI systems are allowed to run […]

In Humiliating Retreat, Starmer Forced To Pull Chagos Bill After Trump Backlash Trump wins again - or rather, Europe caves again. On Friday UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer was forced into an abrupt and humiliating retreat after his plan for the Chagos Islands detonated backlash in Washington. Starmer had been preparing to ram the controversial legislation through the House of Lords on Monday, only for the bill to be yanked late Friday on growing fears it could unravel a 60-year-old US-UK treaty, which is the foundational Cold War-era deal that allows the US to operate the Diego […]

With Control Of Virginia, Democrats Go Into A Tax And Regulatory Frenzy Authored by Jonathan Turley, In the last election, Democrats again campaigned as moderates, including Abigail Spanberger. Once in control of the Governor’s mansion and the legislature, however, Virginia Democrats have moved quickly to fulfill the worst stereotype of a tax-hungry, economy-crushing party. The Democrats introduced an array of new taxes on every aspect of life. At the same time, Spanberger moved to take control of Virginia universities and colleges after years of trying to move those […]

New Gig Economy Job: Train AI That Replaces You A Bay Area startup called Mercor has hired tens of thousands of white-collar contractors for temporary work, training artificial intelligence to perform the very jobs many of them once held, according to a new Wall Street Journal report. In effect, these white-collar workers are being paid to accelerate their own obsolescence by feeding and perfecting models for chatbot makers, such as OpenAI and Anthropic. What is marketed as short-term income increasingly looks like participation in a system that is not on "team humanity," but […]

Crypto Takeaways From Davos: Politics And Money Collide Authored by Yohan Yun via CoinTelegraph.com, While geopolitical tensions and the Greenland standoff set the tone at Davos 2026, crypto resurfaced as a secondary but consequential theme. US President Donald Trump used a few minutes of his Davos speech to double down on his ambition to turn the US into the world’s crypto capital and voice support for crypto-friendly legislation. His tone was different from central banks. In a panel with crypto bigwigs, the governor of the Bank of France criticized private money and […]

Horton: "Zionism Ultimately Is The Achilles Heel In America First" Last night, ZeroHedge hosted Scott Horton and former Trump NSC chief of staff Fred Fleitz for a wide-ranging discussion on the question: How successful has President Trump's foreign policy agenda been so far in his second term? Much of the exchange revealed shared criticism of post-Cold War U.S. foreign policy’s belligerence towards Russia. Horton and Fleitz diverged as the theatres of conflict expanded, most notably in the Middle East and principally on the American government’s relationship to Israel. Here […]

The Case Against Declaring Artificial General Intelligence Authored by Lewis Liu via CityAM.com, Today’s AI systems fail badly in out-of-distribution scenarios, as shown by their inability to interpret real-world geopolitical crises. Large language models reflect the ideological biases of their creators, undermining claims of neutral “general” intelligence. The real economic opportunity lies in tightly governed artificial narrow intelligence, not in premature claims of AGI. “AGI is here, now.” That’s Sequoia Capital this week, one of Silicon […]

Davos Is Dead: Western Civ Has Suffered Enough... Authored by James Howard Kunstler, Up In Smoke “This is how tyranny looks in the modern world. It arrives dressed as dialogue, consensus, and expertise. It is imposed by people who sincerely believe they are doing nothing at all.” - DataRepublican Davos — The World Economic Forum (WEF)— is toast. Trump, Bessent, and Lutnick exposed the wretched org of overcompensated squishes to too much light and heat and it flared into such a pathetic little smoldering cinder that its spoxpersons said the meeting might get moved […]

Homeland Security Seeks To Restrict Immigrants From Relying On Welfare Authored by Sylvia Xu via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking to change a rule that determines eligibility for permanent residency—commonly known as a green card—based on whether an applicant is considered a “public charge,” someone who is likely to depend primarily on public benefits.

Trump Touts "Total And Permanent" Access To Greenland, While Nobody Has Any Clue What's In The Deal Trump said on Thursday he had secured "total and permanent" US access to Greenland in a deal with NATO, whose head said allies would have to step up their commitment to Arctic security to ward off threats from Russia and China.  News of a framework deal came as Trump backed off tariff threats against Europe and ruled out taking Greenland by force, bringing to an end what was brewing to be the biggest rupture in transatlantic ties in decades. Yet despite the optimism, details of […]

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.

On the heels of the price of gold and silver soaring today and the Dow and Nasdaq plunging, it appears this time the global financial crisis will be much worse.

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.

Gold and silver are continuing their march to record highs as the price of silver is soaring nearly 8% and gold is surging $134.

Michael Oliver, the man who is well known for his deadly accurate forecasts on stocks, bonds, and major markets, warned King World News that gold and silver mining stocks are coiled for a historic and violent 355% surge.

Tavi Costa discusses two major catalysts for gold and silver including one of the most compelling opportunities of 2026.

Today Nomi Prins, who has given speeches to the World Bank, IMF and Federal Reserve, told King World News she predicts a jaw-dropping $150-$180 price of silver by the end of 2026.  The predictions she made for gold, silver, uranium and mining stocks will have you on the edge of your seat.

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.

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...

Bank of America says gold deserves a core portfolio role in 2026 — not just as insurance, but as a return driver. Meanwhile, HSBC raised silver forecasts to $68.25/oz, up 53% from prior estimates. As dollar uncertainty persists and Iran's inflation crisis deepens, precious metals stay in focus.

Gold holds near record highs as Morgan Stanley targets $4,800 by 2026. Rate cuts, softer oil prices, tight copper supply, and political shifts in Venezuela are reshaping the global metals outlook.

Venezuela’s crisis isn’t a silver story—it’s a gold story. U.S. sanctions reveal why controlling gold flows matters more than headlines, and what it signals for investors watching the next phase of the monetary cycle.
