UBS CIO Americas: AI Remains "Underhyped And Underappreciated" Building on Goldman analyst Brian Singer’s comparison of the AI data-center buildout to the U.S. shale boom, where AI remains in the early "appraisal phase” of the innovation cycle, a stage historically most bullish for infrastructure spending and equity multiple expansion, fresh commentary earlier this week from UBS CIO Americas reinforces the view that bubble conditions have not yet been met. Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, CIO of Global Equities at UBS Global Wealth Management, spoke at the Latin America […]

Brussels Versus Washington Authored by Cláudia Ascensão Nunes via the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), For years, Europe has tried to convince itself that it could regulate its way to technological greatness. Instead of becoming a technological powerhouse, it produced rules, many rules, with effects now extending far beyond its own borders. In 2026, those rules are colliding head on with an American president who refuses to accept that U.S. innovation could be governed from Brussels. Two regulations sit at the center of this escalating tension. The Digital […]

Five Insights Into The Trilateral Russian-Ukrainian-US Talks Authored by Andrew Korybko, Russia’s agreement to this format represents a significant policy shift. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the second round of the trilateral Russian-Ukrainian-US talks in Abu Dhabi will be held on 1 February. There haven’t been many leaks from the first round so observers can only speculate about the subject and significance of this new format. Nevertheless, it’s still possible to intuit some insight into this based on what’s known and has been reported, thus […]

Venezuela Unveils Amnesty Bill For Mass Release Of Political Prisoners  Venezuela's US-backed and CIA-installed interim president Delcy Rodriguez has unveiled a sweeping amnesty bill that could pave the way for the release of hundreds of detainees, in a first major political move since former President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were ousted and whisked off to New York earlier this month. "We have decided to push ahead with a general amnesty law that covers the whole period of political violence from 1999 to the present day," Rodriguez announced Friday. She issued her address […]

Will He, Won't He 'TACO' On Iran? Authored by Alastair Crooke via LewRockwell.com, As so often these days, a decisive attack on Iran – comes down in the final analysis to Trump’s psychology, and his need to dominate the attention of everyone around him. He understands that for however much his maximalist pronouncements look — and are — crazy, they nonetheless do usually default to a ‘strong man image’. Trump’s career has been founded on the predicate that his base loves the ‘strong guy’ and any sign of weakness detracts from the illusion of strength. It […]

Explosion In AI Data Center Buildouts Will Demand Next-Gen Counter-Drone Security Despite trillions of dollars slated for global data center buildouts, power grid upgrades, and other artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion through the end of the decade, there remains very limited investor discussion about the next-generation physical security architecture required to defend these increasingly critical and high-value infrastructure nodes, including data centers, power plants, and grid transmission chokepoints. Protection of data centers from suicide drone swarm attacks […]

Dear ICE Protestors: We Need To Talk... Authored by Jenna McCarthy via Jenna's Side Rocks, Dear ICE Protestors, It’s been a rough few months out there. You’ve shown up. You’ve resisted. You’ve rallied. You’ve organized. You’ve made signs. So. Many. Signs. You’ve launched illegal fireworks, damaged property, blocked traffic, broken the law, bashed in windows, assaulted agents, and berated scores of strangers simply for doing their jobs. You must be exhausted. I see you. I feel you. I am in awe of your stamina. So let’s pretend, for argument’s sake and […]

US Warns Iran Over Weekend Live Fire Drills Close To American Forces Iran's military starting Thursday issued a warning to ships at sea that it planned to run a drill starting this weekend which is to include live firing in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially disrupting traffic through a waterway which sees 20% of all the world's oil pass through it. This prompted a US warning in response, given US forces are also in the region - but quite a bit further away. On Iran's two-day live-fire naval exercise, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it will not tolerate any unsafe behavior […]

Now 22, Varian identifies as a woman.  The […]

Bitcoin Crashes To Nov 2024 Lows Amid $1.5 Billion In Levered Liquidations In an otherwise quiet session - as one would expect for a Saturday, certainly the algos would - starting early this morning there has been concerted pressure to sell into the bitcoin spot price following yesterday's Warsh-inspired rout which repriced bitcoin from 88K to 84K, pressure which grew into a liquidation firehose just after 9am ET and especially at noon, when we saw massive algo-driven volumes hitting the bid. The selling has pushed Bitcoin as low as $74,000 (it was almost at $100K last week), […]

Mainstream Expectations: Hope Vs. Potential Risk Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, Mainstream expectations, those from Wall Street, economists, and corporate strategists, have congealed around a bullish economic outlook for 2026.

Palmer Luckey One-Shots Jason Calacanis Over Epstein Ties The beef between Anduril founder Palmer Luckey and Silicon Valley angel investor Jason Calacanis goes back nearly a decade - when Calacanis joined a media circus slamming Luckey for a $10,000 donation to a pro-Trump group in 2016. The donation sparked widespread backlash among Silicon Valley's liberal elite, and resulted in calls to boycott Luckey's Oculus VR (which he founded and sold to Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion), along with his eventual ouster from Facebook.

Latest Epstein Release Catches Goldman's Top Lawyer In Massive Lie Earlier this month the Wall Street Journal reported that there was an internal debate at Goldman Sachs over whether to get rid of General Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler over her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.  Kathryn Ruemmler, Jeffrey Epstein Ruemmler, a former White House attorney for Obama, told Goldman execs when they hired her in April 2020 that the relationship was purely professional - yet it would later become public that she not only met with Epstein dozens of times and exchanged friendly emails for […]

The US Economy In A Nutshell: A Few Winners, Everyone Else Loses Ground Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, Maybe this arrangement isn't as stable and sustainable as the winners imagine. Here's the US economy in a nutshell: corporate/state concentrations of financial, market and political power are the winners, and everyone outside these fortresses is losing ground. The Wall Street Journal is generally viewed as pro-business, and so it's particularly striking when the WSJ published this: The Economic Divide Between Big and Small Companies Is […]

Activist Judge Blocks Key Parts Of Trump EO On Verifying Citizenship To Vote A federal judge on Friday blocked key provisions of President Trump's executive order that requires proof of US citizenship for voter registration.  Signed on March 25, Executive Order 14248 directs the Election Assistance Commission to require in its national mail voter registration form that voters provide documentary proof of US citizenship, such as a passport. The order also directs federal officials to take measures to prevent illegal immigrants and other noncitizens from voting in federal […]

Connecticut School Cancels Event With Education Secretary Over Political Pressure Authored by Jonathan Turley, We have long discussed how educators are instilling viewpoint intolerance in students from the earliest grades. The latest example is the cancellation of a visit to McKinley Elementary School in Fairfield, Connecticut, by Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. The students had the opportunity to speak and interact with a cabinet member, but the school cancelled the event due to political opposition from parents. Reports indicated that the visit, part of McMahon’s […]

Latest Epstein Emails Reveal Bill Gates Slipped Wife Antibiotics For STD He Got From Russian Hookers Democrats thought that the firehose release of Epstein files would "finally" bring down Trump. Instead, not only is that not happening (one can argue the latest batch of docs further cements Trump's claim that he had distanced himself far enough from Esptein in recent decades as this admission from Epstein himself to his favorite scribe Michael Wolff reveals), but it is taking down Democratic "thought titans", each one bigger than the next: first it was Larry Summers, then Bill […]

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

There is wild trading in the gold and silver markets. This is what is happening today.

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%.

The collapse of the United States will now accelerate as the US dollar begins a historic plunge.

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,...

This Special Report was issued to as gold and silver prices hit new record highs.

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.

What a difference the metals make, plus US dollar woes.

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.

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.

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.
