Escobar: The Real "Rupture" In Davos Authored by Pepe Escobar, Whatever the barbarians may be potting, the fact that matters is that China is already deep into the next phase, where it is expected to replace the United States as the world’s primary consumer market. The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters. Antonio Gramsci Davos 2026 was a demented kaleidoscope. The only possible way to wallow through the mire was to put on the headphones and resort to the Band of Gypsys smashing sonic barriers, and drowning a frankly […]

In the chaos and violence following the death of an armed Minneapolis would-be terrorist shot while fighting Border Patrol, another protester has bitten off the finger of a federal officer. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin posted photos on X showing the loathsome protestors who so viciously assaulted federal officers, and also photos of the one […]

Would Term Limits Make The DC Swamp Even Worse? Via Brian McGlinchey at Stark Realities Though America is beset by increasingly bitter political divisions, there are two convictions that unite Americans across party and demographic lines. Large majorities are certain that Congress isn’t serving the interests of the American people, and that Capitol Hill would become far more virtuous with the imposition of term limits. Despite their broad appeal to our “throw out the bums” instincts, term limits would probably make Congress even worse than it is now. Even as a proposed […]

Meteorologist Ben Noll says this weekend's snowstorm could be similar to the Blizzard of 1996. For our more seasoned readers, 1996 was an unforgettable winter.

Duffy's Nuclear Option Remains On The Table: California Could Lose Authority To Issue Any CDLs Authored by Rob Carpenter via FreightWaves.com, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just dropped what I’ve been calling the nuclear option.

Left-Wing NGOs Transition To Targeting 'Critical Economic Chokepoints' In Minneapolis Left-wing nonprofit groups in Minneapolis appear to have moved beyond pressure campaigns targeting ICE agents and federal law enforcement, shifting from street protests/riots toward actions that may disrupt critical infrastructure on Friday.

Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the Golden State will remain a part of the World Health Organization's network, even though the Trump administration just completed the United States' withdrawal from the WHO. “The Trump administration’s withdrawal from WHO is a reckless decision that will hurt all Californians and Americans,” Newsom wrote. “California will not bear witness to the chaos this decision will bring.

Niall Ferguson: How Trump Won Davos Authored by Niall Ferguson via X, There is a rapidly forming narrative in the European and liberal media that the Europeans “won Davos”: primarily by getting Trump to “de-escalate” his demand that the United States acquire Greenland from Denmark. This is a very wrong take. The reality is that Trump won Davos, hands down. And not only did he win it; he owned it. I have never before seen a single individual so completely dominate this vast bazaar of the powerful, the wealthy, the famous, and the self-important. Trump never […]

Shockwaves In Beijing: Xi Targets His Own Top General, Longtime Confidant, In Elite Purge Another significant military purge appears underway in China, as Saturday morning the West woke up to news that China's most senior military officer, who is second only to Xi Jinping, has been put under investigation over alleged "grave violations of discipline and the law." Gen. Zhang Youxia is a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, the Communist Party body that controls China's armed forces, and this comes as somewhat of a major shock given he is widely regarded as […]

China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life,” Trump […]

Larry Fink Says Public Has Lost Trust In Davos Elites And He Blames "Capitalism" The intrinsic fallacy behind the Davos conference and its supposed mission to "save the world" by molding international policy is easy to describe:  Davos is made up largely of the corporate elites, banking moguls and corrupt politicians that created the world's problems in the first place, often deliberately in order to trigger chaos and gain power.  Why would the general public trust those people to fix the same problems they created? This is a question that needs to be posed to BlackRock CEO […]

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 […]

Military Presence At Davos "Much Larger Than Usual" As Security Posture Signals Rising Threats The private jets are departing, $2,500 per night sex workers have cleared out, and European globalist elites spent the week annoyed by the America First message from President Trump and Elon Musk at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The rationale for California Gov. Gavin Newsom's attendance remains unclear, but his presence and conduct were widely viewed as an embarrassment for the U.S. With the event concluded, attention now shifts to the weaponry deployed to protect heads of state […]

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.

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.

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...

The gold-to-silver ratio is experiencing significant shifts that present strategic opportunities for precious metals investors. Understanding why this key metric is falling—from surging industrial demand to economic recovery signals—can help you optimize your portfolio allocation between gold and silver. 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...

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.
