Money Metals Exchange's Weekly Market Wrap Podcasts | Helping Precious Metals Investors during These Treacherous Times
Coming up don't miss our exclusive interview with Edward Sterck of the World Platinum Investment Council. Mike Maharrey and this week's guest dive into the Platinum Group Metals and in particular discuss why we've seen a divergence between the price of platinum and the price of palladium and what's behind that dynamic.
A Vote of No Confidence! Are the Markets Losing Faith in the Fed's Inflation Fight?
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh and his minions are talking tough on inflation. But they haven't done anything.
At the July Fed meeting, the central bank elected to hold rates steady for the sixth time, despite price inflation remaining persistently well above the stated 2 percent target. Based on the market reaction, investors are beginning to think the Fed is surrendering to inflation and will not raise rates again.
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey talks about the dichotomy between the Fed's words and its actions, explains why the markets are right to lack confidence in the Fed, and how a surrender to inflation will impact the precious metals markets.
In this week's interview, Frank Holmes, CEO of U.S. Global Investors, believes we're about to see some real movement in the gold market and you'll certainly want to hear which direction he believes it'll be heading next over the upcoming months.
Officially, the U.S. has far more gold than China.
But does it really?
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey explains why there is reason to doubt this claim. In fact, we don't really know how much gold the U.S. or China holds. We have official claims, but the U.S. refuses to audit its reserves, so there could be far less than advertised. And it's evident China is accumulating gold faster than it claims.
Why this dichotomy? And what are the ramifications?
Coming up don't miss another wonderful interview with Greg Weldon of Weldon Financial. Greg weighs in on the ongoing correction and consolidation in the precious metals and shares why he thinks this may be a "back up the truck" type of opportunity for metals buyers and where he sees silver going in particular.

Many analysts believe we are in the early stages of a secular bear market in bonds.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey talks about the possible ramifications of this bond bear market, arguing that it could not only fundamentally alter the investment landscape, but it could also hamstring the Fed's efforts to fight price inflation.
This scenario could cause a significant shakeup in the world economy and financial system.
It's also extremely bullish for precious metals.

If you followed the headlines, you know that the June CPI report was even cooler than expected. This generated optimism that maybe, just maybe, the Fed is finally getting inflation under control.
But there's more to the story.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey tells you the rest of the story, revealing that despite falling CPI, inflation is alive and well. On top of that, the good CPI news may green-light even more inflation.
Mike also points out a very interesting trend in the gold market. Gold is up during Asian trading sessions through the first half of the year, even as the yellow metal sold off during North American sessions. What is this telling us?
This week, an exclusive interview with Ed Steer precious metals insider and publisher of Ed Steer's Gold and Silver Digest, and also a member of the board of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, or GATA.
The perception is that gold has tanked through the first half of the year.
In fact, the yellow metal isn't down nearly as much as you probably think.
The perception is that the new Federal Reserve chairman will keep monetary policy tight to fight inflation.
In fact, the Debt Black Hole may have something else to say about that.
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey provides a reality check, showing that gold's correction isn't nearly as steep as you might think and throwing cold water on the notion that Kevin Warsh will maintain a higher interest rate environment and slay inflation.
This week, we interview Ralph Benko, gold standard advocate, author of The Ten Commandments of Capitalism, co-author of The Capitalist Manifesto and the editor of the 500th Anniversary Edition of Nicolaus Copernicus' book titled On the Minting of Money.

The political class wants you to hate gold. That's why politicians and their enablers in the mainstream media and academia constantly badmouth it.
But have you noticed that government people actually love gold? You don't need to look any further than the recent central bank gold-buying spree to make this case.
So, why does the political class want to have gold, but it doesn't want you to have gold?
Control.
As host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, you are harder to control when you have sound money. In other words, gold supports liberty. Mike explains exactly how sound money undergirds freedom and, along the way, highlights government efforts around the world to get more gold to increase their power.
Michael Pento of Pento Portfolio Strategies and author of the book The Coming Bond Market Collapse, tells us why he believes the current market expectation of Fed rate hikes is not only wrong, but why he believes we will actually see the Fed cut rates in future months to combat a slowing economy.

There's a new boss over at the Federal Reserve.
Is he going to be any different than the old boss?
Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey delved into that question this week. He notes that Warsh certainly sounds different. But he's stepping into the same situation that Jerome Powell left. Mike explains why that will likely limit Warsh's options, meaning the old new boss may end up acting just like the old boss when it's all said and done.
Mike also highlights the ever-growing Debt Black hole by breaking down the May federal budget deficit numbers.
Coming up in a moment, we will be joined by author and precious metals analyst Przemysław Radomski. Radomski says gold and silver have reacted unusually to the Iran–U.S. conflict because markets are focusing on inflation and higher interest rates, not safe-haven demand, and much more.

We've seen wild swings in the markets based on the latest headlines. How do we cut through the noise and make good investment decisions?
In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains that you need a good recipe.
A plan.
A process.
But to formulate a plan, you need good data. That's tricky when the primary source of data is the government. Mike breaks down the inflation of the pandemic era using a new AI tool to reveal just how sketchy that government data is. This underscores the fact that when we have a realistic view of the economy, all roads lead to gold and silver.
This week's interview is with Axel Merk, president of Merk Investments and a frequent commentator in the financial news media and here on our Money Metals podcast.
Merk offers a different take on the recent gold correction, arguing that markets are treating the Iran conflict as a temporary shock rather than a lasting structural change.

They say history doesn't necessarily repeat, but it often rhymes.
With that in mind, Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey looks back at the inflationary era of the 1960s and 1970s and finds some interesting parallels to today.
Inflation didn't rise in a straight line back then. It came in three distinct waves. We've seen one wave in the currency inflationary cycle, and it appears we're setting up for a second. And there are other similarities between then and now - including the trajectory of interest rate policy and government spending.
Mike also reveals just how badly this price inflation is impacting the American consumer, who is broke, stressed, and buried in debt.
Mike Maharrey dives into a range of topics with Kai Hoffmann, CEO of Soar Financial, as they discuss what's really happening in the precious metals market given the ongoing headwinds of the Iran war and much more.

What's wrong with this picture?
The mainstream has built a bearish narrative around the gold and silver markets. According to this storyline, the Fed will have to keep interest rates higher due to inflationary pressure introduced by the war with Iran. That's negative for gold and silver, non-yielding assets.
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey points out the problems with this picture painted by mainstream pundits. He reveals two dynamics they seem to be missing and explains why the future of gold and silver may not be as bearish as advertised. He then proceeds to expose the deeper flaws with the current fiat money system.
Coming up we'll hear an interview between Chris Marcus of Arcadia Economics and Money Metals CEO Stefan Gleason. Don't miss this revealing interview as Stefan digs into some unanswered questions surrounding America's gold reserves at Fort Knox -- issues brought back into the news headlines by Donald Trump last week.

This week, Mike lets listeners run the show!
It's an "Ask Mike Anything" episode where our intrepid host tackles questions asked by listeners.
Here are the questions covered in this episode.
At what point do we start trading in metals instead of paper currency? What does that timeline look like, and where are we currently on that timeline?
How will the higher price of oil impact overall consumer price inflation? Higher oil prices cause higher prices in certain goods, but will it also lessen demand and prices in other areas?
I heard an ad for a gold seller that said, "Some experts claim that gold could hit 6 thousand this year." I'm typically dubious of ads that say "some experts", rather than citing specific experts. 1 - Do you know of any reputable experts making this claim? 2 - Do you agree? 3 - Do you think the January peak is likely the highest we'll see this year? Why or why not?
As SHTF scenarios become more likely, metals will be a life-saving alternative to fiat. Dealers put a high premium on rare collectible coins, whereas I only value the metal content of coins. Will these collectibles retain extra value when Mad Max hits town?
Does AI feel like a bubble to you based on the huge valuations of these companies?
Should people consider trading the gold/silver ratio? If so, when? And if the refiners get backed up, will it be even possible?
Silver has been significantly outpacing gold. Do you see this continuing, and should we expect a rate cut with the new Fed Chair, even if inflation rises?
Texas established a precious metals depository with the ability to conduct transactions within the depository. Can you give us an update on how that's progressing and if any other states have done something similar?
What is a realistic way of making it normal to trade and pay for items in precious metals? Are there good precious metal-backed currencies that you like?
Maybe talk a little bit about the lead time between cause and effect.
Related to the old saying health is wealth, you managed to play goalie and do it well long after younger (and lesser) men have hung up their skates. How do you manage to do this? To be clear, no joking, I'd very much like to hear the answer.
Find out what Michael Oliver of Momentum Structural Analysis has to say now given the backdrop of the Iran War, which many have blamed on keeping a lid of silver here in recent months since that big run up and subsequent correction earlier this year. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash?

The dollar is getting smaller.
It's not just that it's rapidly losing purchasing power. It's also losing status on the world stage.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey considers both aspects of the shrinking dollar and their ramifications. He breaks down the recent CPI data, noting that it tells only part of the inflation story. Mike also highlights the ongoing global de-dollarization trend through the eyes of some mainstream analysts.
Coming up don't miss an incredibly informative interview with Rhona O'Connell, Head of Market Analysis with StoneX Financial – a global leader when it comes to financial services, commercial hedging, foreign exchange and physical commodities.

The Fed met last week and once again took no action. As usual, the headlines were generated by the things Powell & Company said and didn't say.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey analyzes the meeting and the messaging that came out of it. He explains why the rhetoric has very little connection to reality because everybody seems to be ignoring the proverbial elephant in the room - the Debt Black Hole. That has significant ramifications for the economy and the precious metals markets, as Mike explains.
In this episode, Mike also shares some things he saw on his recent field trip to the Money Metals facility in Idaho.

Incentives matter.
This is a fundamental economic principle that seems to be completely lost on most people.
In this special episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey brings in Sound Money Defense League Director Jp Cortez and bullion dealer Craig Rhyne to talk about the impact of a state sales tax on gold and silver bullion recently passed by the Washington state legislature. Not content to just suck it up and watch his business get throttled by the new tax, Rhyne moved to Idaho.
Jp describes efforts to stop the tax. He and Craig explains why sales taxes on precious metals are so perverse. And Craig takes us through the agonizing decision he made to save his business.
A wonderful interview, this time with Phillip Newman, founding partner and managing director of Metals Focus. Phillip recaps the incredible rally we saw since his last guest appearance with us late last fall which saw gold and silver skyrocket and what that and the subsequent correction that took place following has meant for the precious metals market.

Given the surge in silver prices, you might assume that silver demand was strong last year.
It wasn't.
In fact, demand fell slightly.
So, how in the world did silver explode to record highs?
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey digs deep into the recently released silver market data for 2025, explaining exactly what drove silver prices higher and why there is still plenty of upside remaining.
He also shares some gold news that would have sounded ridiculous just a few years ago.
An amazing interview with Greg Weldon of Weldon Financial, a renowned commodities trader with over 40 years of experience. Greg weighs in on what it will take for gold and silver to really get moving up again, what he is looking for as a key level on silver on the upside and also shares his views on when, if ever, the stock market may roll over.

We don't really know what's inside the Fort Knox gold depository because the government refuses to do a comprehensive audit. But even if we take the government's claims at face value, we do know that the bulk of the U.S. gold reserves is made up of impure "non-standard" bars that don't qualify for use in international settlements.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo, Mike Maharrey explains the Fort Knox audit problem, how all that impure gold got there, and why it matters. Along the way, he also underscores the failure of the fiat money system.
This week, Mike also covers an interesting move by the Chinese that could exacerbate shortages in the physical silver market.
Joe Cavatoni of the World Gold Council, is a market strategist with over 30 years of financial services experience and helps us make sense of how gold has reacted and likely will react in the face of dizzying geopolitical and war headlines that constantly change.

The French central bank recently sold all of the gold it had stored in New York and replaced it with higher-quality bars that will remain in France. French officials say the move was to increase the quality of its reserves and was not politically motivated.
Mike Maharrey doesn't think that's the entire story, and in this episode of the Midweek Memo, he says the quiet part out loud. This move was almost certainly motivated in part by politics. Mike explains why France (and many other countries) want to minimize their exposure to the U.S. and the potential ramifications for the American economy.
In this episode, he also covers last week's "blockbuster" jobs report and explains why it wasn't probably as great as the headlines indicate. (Hint - it has to do with revisions.)

Would you loan him more money?
By the way, the person in the scenario is Uncle Sam.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo, Mike Maharrey takes a deep dive into the U.S. financial situation and reveals that, despite what many people would like you to believe, everything is not fine. He highlights the extent of the debt and why it matters.
In this episode, Mike also explains just how much gold there is in the world. (It's probably not as much as you think.)

There's a case to be made against gold right now.
And that bearish narrative is driving the markets right now.
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey makes the case against gold -- and argues that it isn't very good. He explains why the perception currently controlling the markets will eventually be overwhelmed by reality.
Chris Powell of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, joins us this week and enlightens us on both why the U.S. government is involved in gold and silver market manipulation, and how they go about orchestrating their manipulative tactics.

Treasuries have historically served as a safe haven in times of geopolitical uncertainty.
Not this time.
Bonds have sold off modestly since the beginning of the U.S.-Iran conflict, as evidenced by rising yields. As Mike Maharrey explains in this week's Midweek Memo podcast, it sure looks like gold is the last safe haven standing. He explains why Treasuries are struggling to catch a bid and how a long war could exacerbate the situation. He also highlights a note by UBS to make a bullish case for gold, war or no war.

Maybe you should invest like a dead man.
Sounds crazy, right? But studies have shown accounts belonging to dead people often outperform those that are actively managed.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey makes sense out of this phenomenon and explains why it's particularly valuable to understand during a war. He also highlights how the ongoing conflict with Iran is causing logistical disruptions to the precious metals markets, and speculates how the war could impact gold and silver prices down the road.
This week, a special interview with Mark O'Byrne the Founder of Tara Coins in Ireland. Not only is Mark the creator of the stunningly beautiful Tree of Life gold and silver coins – available at MoneyMetals.com – but he is also a bona fide Emerald Isle historian and longtime sound money proponent.

The U.S. has launched a war against Iran. What does that mean for gold and silver?
Of course, war, but its very nature, is unpredictable. But we do have plenty of past wars we can look at to establish historical trends. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey does just that, looking at the trajectory of the gold price during past wars. He finds that war itself has not had the significant impact on gold prices one might expect. There are other dynamics we need to consider.
In this episode, Mike also reminds listeners why they should take precious metals investment advice from the majority of mainstream financial planners or talking heads on the major networks.
Don't miss this week's Money Metals exclusive interview, this time with Charlie Garcia of R360 and a former advisor to six U.S. Presidents. Charlie gives the backstory on the well-covered topic of Chinese export restrictions on silver, and what it's going to mean for silver prices.

We all know that the sequel is rarely as good as the original. And when the original was bad...
Mike Maharrey has argued that current dynamics in the markets and the economy look a lot like they did in the years just before the 2008 financial crisis.
He's not alone.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon recently made the same argument.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo, Mike highlights the parallels between then and now in light of Dimon's analysis. He also covers the current dynamics in the platinum market.

"Money is Money, and Paper is Paper. All the invention of man cannot make them otherwise."
With that line, Thomas Paine opened a devastating critique of paper money, clearly demonstrating that gold and silver are far superior.
Unfortunately, the powers that be didn't listen to Paine. And neither did the investment world, because it's managed to turn the market for gold and silver into its own paper markets.
It's not exactly the same as fiat money, but the impacts are similar. We're seeing this manifest in the silver market today.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey delves into the battle now raging between the paper silver futures market and the physical silver market and how it is driving the price. He also explains why he thinks the physical market will ultimately prevail.
In this episode, Mike also gives a quick overview of the recent CPI report and tells you why you might consider taking investment advice from a 10-year-old.

With prices hitting record highs, a lot of people are asking whether they should sell or hold. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, Mike tackles this question, using the example of a luxury hotel that literally tore gold bars out of its floor to sell. He also touches on the Super Bowl, revealing just how much more valuable the silver Lombardi Trophy is this year compared to last.

Big sell-offs in gold and silver are scary. They're unnerving. And they are inevitable.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey puts the recent correction in gold and silver in perspective.
The announcement of Keven Warsh as Trump's new Federal Reserve Chairman spooked the markets because of his perceived hawkishness, and that sparked the sell-off. Mike explains why it was an overreaction, and that hawkishness probably won't matter when Fed policy meets current economic realities. He also shares some other thoughts about the sell-off, adding additional perspective for your consideration.

A lot of people are asking what is driving gold and silver higher. Is it central bank gold buying? Is it geopolitical worries? Is it just a bubble?
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey suggests that maybe people are asking the wrong question. Instead of asking what is driving gold and silver higher, ask, "Why?" He argues that the "whats" are the symptoms. We need to drill down to those whys - the causes. This week, Mike does just that!
He also reports on a big bank raising its gold price forecast - again.

With silver pushing toward $100 and gold knocking on the door of $5,000, there is a lot of excitement in the precious metals space right now.
Sometimes, this level of excitement can lead to over-exuberance and excessive hype.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey corrects a story relating to Chinese silver exports that he initially overstated, and sets the record straight about rumors of silver shortages at the U.S. Mint. He uses these examples to urge balance and discernment when perusing and evaluating precious metals news.
Mike warns against getting caught up in hype and hyperbole. However, he says you also need to understand the magnitude of this bull market.

In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey polishes up his crystal ball and talks about what 2026 may have in store for gold and silver.
Along the way, he emphasizes the difficulty of economic and market forecasting and provides an example of why people should be cautious about making bold predictions. However, he is willing to examine some of the macroeconomic and market dynamics that appear to be in place as we enter the new year and explain how they may impact the precious metals markets.

In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey explains how the setup in the financial system looks very similar to what we were seeing in 2019, prior to the pandemic. And that's not good news.

Silver took the gold medal in 2025, more than doubling its price.
So, what drove silver to over $80 an ounce last week? In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey takes a deep dive into the dynamics of the silver market, explaining that while there are many factors at play, one fundamental reality underpins it - there isn't enough metal.
This dynamic has resulted in a significant silver squeeze, driving prices higher with significant volatility.
In this episode, Mike also offers some advice as you contemplate your New Year's resolutions.

The mainstream financial media buried the lede in its reporting on last week's Fed meeting.
They reported on the rate cut. They sliced and diced the dot plots. They analyzed every syllable coming out of Jerome Powell's mouth. But they barely mentioned the biggest story - the Fed just restarted quantitative easing (QE).
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey covers the stuff the mainstream reporters left out. He explains what the Fed plans to do, why it is QE no matter what they call it, and how it will impact normal people.
Hint: it means more inflation.

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates and ended balance sheet reduction at its last meeting despite acknowledging persistent inflation.
This doesn't make sense in a sane world.
But we don't live in a sane world.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey tries to make sense of the insanity. He says that the key to understanding the Fed's moves is recognizing that inflation is the plan. The central bank doesn't want to tackle inflation. It just wants to keep it at a level that doesn't make you too angry. In fact, the government needs inflation to support its borrowing and spending problem. Mike argues that this isn't a policy you can vote away. You can only take steps to minimize its impact on your life.
David Morgan of The Morgan Report, discusses the recent market turmoil in gold and silver and tells us why he views the recent pullback as a healthy correction in a strong bull market, noting that silver has shown particular resilience.

Gold and silver are in the midst of a significant price correction, and with all of the volatility in the markets, it's important to keep your eye on the ball.
By "the ball," we mean the underlying fundamental market dynamics and the trajectory of the economy.

Last week was a wild roller coaster ride on Wall Street. When the dust settled and the cars came to a stop on Friday, gold was the last safe haven standing.
In this week's Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey examines gold's performance and contrasts it with other havens, including the Treasuries and the U.S. dollar.

He argues that the stock market is a big fat bubble just waiting for a pin. Tariffs might be that pin. But even if they're not, there's a pin out there. Mike explains how we got to this place, focusing on Federal Reserve monetary policy and the broader boom-bust business cycle using the Dow-to-Gold ratio as a map to the broader narrative.

According to the headlines, the Federal Reserve didn't really do anything at its March meeting.
But it did.
True, the central bank held interest rates steady, however, it still made a very significant move.
It dramatically slowed balance sheet reduction.
What does this mean and why did the Fed do it now?

Is the dollar in trouble? Is it doomed?
People are starting to talk about a growing trend of "de-dollarization." But what does that mean? And why does it matter?
In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek memo, host Mike Maharrey talks about de-dollarization, why it's happening, and the potential ramifications.

Federal Reserve monetary policy significantly impacts the economy, incentivizing malinvestments, sparking recessions, and creating inflation.
Most people know the Fed is important but they tend to focus on interest rate policy. As Money Metals' Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey explains, they're missing a big part of the picture.
The central bank's balance sheet is as important as interest rates -- if not more-so.
In this episode, Mike highlights some interesting things going on with the balance sheet and how it could mean even more inflation coming down the pike.
In this episode, he also talks about the current volatility in the precious metals markets.

Compared to January 2021, home sales were down by 36%. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash? Get Started Here: https://www.moneymetals.com/gold-loan

President Trump recently ordered the U.S. Mint to stop producing pennies. This may not seem like a big deal in the big scheme of things, but as Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, the demise of the 1-cent coin is indicative of a much bigger problem.

The powers that be may have found a new scapegoat for price inflation -- tariffs.
But while tariffs will raise some prices, they don't cause "inflation" in the true sense of the word. Governments and their central banks do that, but they don't want you to know it.
In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains why tariffs won't cause inflation (as properly defined) and spotlights the true cause of our inflationary woes - fiat money systems. He goes on to explain how this answers the question, "Why do I want gold and silver?"
Because it's sound money in a world of fiat money chaos.

Gold set multiple records last year while silver remained well below its all-time highs. This created the impression that silver underperformed even though it was up over 20 percent. But we're starting to see some bullish sentiment for silver, even in the mainstream.

In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains why the supply and demand dynamics, along with technical indicators, justify this bullish sentiment.

Gold has basked in the spotlight in recent months, and while silver is up by roughly the same amount in percentage terms this year, most investors feel it has underperformed.

During this inflationary cycle, gold tended to sell off with any hot inflation news. Conversely, mainstream and institutional investors tended to buy when inflation appeared to be cooling.

Gold has had a nice run over last few months and it's garnered a lot of attention. Silver has kind of gotten lost in the shadow of gold's shine. But as host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, people should be paying attention to silver. It has outperformed gold in this gold bull market and there are plenty of reasons to believe the silver bull has a lot of leg left.

Some people will tell you there is no sense owning gold or silver because the government will just take it from you. They base this notion on FDR's gold confiscation order in 1933.

The Federal Reserve and the U.S. government have a big problem. The Fed is trying to take down sticky price inflation but it can never win the fight. As host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, the national debt is part of the problem, and until that is under control, inflation won't be.

Well, we’re seeing another big move in the gold market. The monetary metal reached a new record high on Thursday to close out this holiday-shortened trading week. |
