The Curious Case of Gold and Utility
This week the World Gold Council addressed a question that occasionally surfaces: will the world eventually run out of gold? Given how often we hear how scarce gold is, it is probably a reasonable question. Mining production reached another record recently, yet the industry faces rising costs, increasingly complex permitting processes and the growing difficulty […]
Middle East War: Why Money Is Rushing to the Dollar, Not Gold
Gold prices are slightly weaker today, weighed down by a stronger U.S. dollar and rising Treasury yields. Despite escalating tensions in the Middle East and ongoing strikes involving Iran, safe-haven demand has not translated into a sustained rally in precious metals. Instead, investors have moved rapidly into the dollar and U.S. government bonds. Markets are […]
The War Distraction: What The Media Is Hiding About Gold
Gold and silver have moved sharply higher again today as the war in the Middle East continues to unfold. Markets are reacting to the uncertainty.

Global War Is Now Probable – Simon Hunt’s Urgent Warning
This week marked four years since the outbreak of the Russia–Ukraine war. On the same day, fresh statements emerged from Moscow that suggest tensions are not easing but hardening. Reports carried by Russian state media referenced alleged discussions around nuclear components and potential attacks on energy infrastructure. Whether these claims prove material or rhetorical, they […]
When Systems Begin to Shift
There are periods in history when events move quickly yet systems remain largely intact. Elections come and go, markets rise and fall, conflicts flare and subside and although the headlines may feel urgent, the architecture beneath them remains recognisable and broadly trusted.

Is COMEX Prepared for Silver’s Structural Shift?
Recent movements in the silver market have once again reminded investors that this is not a passive or predictable asset. Headlines can feel urgent.

Silver has always exhibited sharper fluctuations than […]
