Tom Bodrovics welcomes back gold market and finance expert Alasdair Macleod. Together they explore the escalating systemic risks in global gold and silver markets, driven by surging demand for physical delivery. Macleod highlighted the European Central Bank's (ECB) warning about skyrocketing counterparty risks in gold derivatives, emphasizing that COMEX delivery demands have reached unprecedented levels, with an annualized rate of 1,500 tons—far exceeding post-pandemic trends. This surge reflects a growing scramble for physical metal which is exacerbated by delays in delivery fulfillment. Bullion banks, fearing tariffs and supply shortages, inflated futures prices to create arbitrage opportunities, further straining markets. Macleod underscored a critical shift: central banks, once willing to lease gold to stabilize markets, now hesitate to renew leases, fearing irreversible loss of reserves. This trend, compounded by COMEX silver shortages, signals deepening liquidity crises. Demand is driven by sovereign wealth funds, Asian families, and Middle Eastern entities diversifying from the dollar amid geopolitical tensions and long-term currency devaluation fears. The discussion pivoted to the U.S. debt trap, with deficits exceeding 6% of GDP and tepid demand for long-term Treasuries. Macleod compared today's credit bubble and protectionist tariffs to the 1929 crash, warning of a potential debt deflation spiral. He noted China's strategic accumulation of gold and silver, possibly prepping the yuan for gold backing, while avoiding abrupt moves to destabilize Western economies. Amid these risks, Macleod stressed wealth preservation over accumulation, advocating physical gold as a hedge. He cautioned that markets underestimate the looming convergence of fiscal instability, currency crises, and geopolitical shifts, urging vigilance as structural economic fractures deepen. The episode closed with a stark reminder: today's calm belies a gathering storm, mirroring historical precedents where credit excesses and policy missteps fueled systemic collapse.

In this week's Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire is joined by Alasdair Macleod to reveal how silver is quietly moved through private channels - largely controlled by China - keeping real supply and demand hidden from the open market. As silver approaches a critical price point, two old friends explain how major market players may soon lose their grip, opening the door for a sharp rise in silver and a fresh wave of interest in precious metals, unwinding decades of price control.Check out Alasdair: https://alasdairmacleod.substack.com/_______________________________________________________________Timestamps: 00:00 Start02:20 Andrew introduces Alasdair Macleod03:55 Silver breaks out as warehouse stocks reach critical lows10:55 EFP values distorted; China continues strategic silver stockpiling18:50 Major Asian buyers quietly acquiring precious metals by the billion27:25 Echoes of the 1970s: Historic parallels in gold accumulation32:25 BRICS currency risks and the rise of an East Asian supergroup37:05 What the whales and central banks are really doing behind the scenes43:30 How central bank leasing and double-counting threaten a crisis47:15 The Fed's covert borrowing of gold from the BIS51:40 Alasdair's journey: Decades of decoding precious metals market behaviour_______________________________________________________________Ask your questions for Andy here: https://forum.kinesis.money/forums/qu...

In WW2 we discovered if you control the world, you get to control the money. In 1971 we learnt that that as long as the majority had a fear of violence, that was a good enough anchor for money, and gold wasn't required. In 2008 we discovered the kind of bubbles fiat thinking like that could create – but we kept going. In 2020, a critical majority spotted the pattern – the cheaper the money gets, the more our investments rise. More people than ever are started to notice how What happens in the world, happens with our money.

Tom welcomes back Alasdair Macleod, Head of Research at GoldMoney to discuss his insights into the silver market and its relationship with gold prices. He suggests that despite a seemingly undersupplied market, the price disparity between gold and silver does not reflect this reality. Macleod anticipates a significant shift in investor behavior once patience runs thin among those who have already bought into gold but yet to enter the silver market. The role of foreign investors, particularly central banks, in driving gold prices is highlighted. Macleod also emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of the ongoing credit bubble on financial markets and encourages listeners to consider reducing their exposure to credit. Alasdair expresses his views on Donald Trump's impact on gold prices, citing increased foreign demand due to Trump's status as an inflationist and his executive orders. However, concerns over tariffs and potential economic repercussions remain. Macleod also touches upon historical examples of tariffs and interest rates and their relationship with an economy's purchasing power. He emphasizes the importance of understanding this connection for investors during the upcoming credit bubble. Throughout the conversation, Alasdair highlights the importance of considering global economic trends and various factors influencing gold and silver prices. He also discusses the role of speculators versus central banks in driving these markets and the potential for a significant shift once investor sentiment changes.

Tom welcomes back Alasdair Macleod, Head of Research at GoldMoney to discuss the current trends in the gold market. The conversation covers various aspects of the gold market, including the role of the dollar, increased demand for physical gold, particularly in China, and the impact on the COMEX market. Macleod explains that gold is hitting new highs due to the dollar's decline rather than an increase in gold prices per se. He attributes this trend to government policies that maintain large budget deficits. A Trump second term is likely to continue weakening the dollar. Chinese households are turning to physical gold as an alternative to stocks and property, leading to increased demand and potential drainage of physical liquidity from the West. In terms of the COMEX market, Alasdair points out that open interest has significantly increased, particularly due to neutral spread activity and arbitrage. He notes that this market could become more overbought and warns about potential mark-to-mark losses among the swaps, which may lead to further paper demand and a 'bear squeeze' on these institutions. Alasdair discusses the impacts of the Comex, London, and Shanghai exchanges on metals markets. There is a drainage of physical gold from Western markets, particularly London, due to arbitrage opportunities. Chinese banks are expected to increase their gold reserves, and there's also a resurgence in demand for Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). They discuss the risks associated with credit and the potential for a crisis in the financial system, particularly regarding the clearinghouse and shares. Alasdair advises protecting oneself by holding physical assets like gold and silver and ensuring sufficient supplies during the initial stages of a potential collapse. Lastly the effects of BRICS alliance is discussed and their plans to back their currencies with physical gold and silver. Although an attempt was made last year, it did not succeed due to opposition from China and India. Russia is expected to bring this issue up during the upcoming BRICS meeting in Astana in October, proposing that 40% of the new trade settlement currency would be backed by gold. Despite doubts about execution, having significant gold reserves and accumulating substantial quantities of gold for years could significantly impact the global economy if successful.

Patrick Vierra from SBTV spoke with economic, financial, and gold researcher Alasdair Macleod. Alasdair's unique understanding of the markets and the economy has painted a picture of economic turbulence to say the least. Gold and silver, are a few of the things that are going to offer wealth protection and generational wealth as the economy continues to take a turn for the worst. Come see what Alasdair has to say and how gold is winning!
Unlock the mystery behind the surging gold prices as I, Michael Gayed, sit down with the esteemed Alasdair Macleod. With his unparalleled experience spanning the financial spectrum, Alasdair sheds light on the intricate dance between currency value and gold—a beacon of stability in an unpredictable economic seascape. Our discourse journeys through the global lens, where gold is not merely a commodity but the bedrock of wealth, and we dissect the possibility that rising gold prices may signal a waning dollar instead of a gold rush.Venture through a world where Bitcoin and gold clash in a battle for the title of true financial security. Alasdair, with his wisdom, guides us through the labyrinth of these two assets as hedges against counterparty risk, and unravels the tapestry of investing in gold, both in paper form and its tangible allure. We navigate the silver market's curious dynamics, touching upon manipulation, industrial demand, and the investment horizon in the mining sector, all set against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical tensions and interest rate hikes.As we wrap up our conversation, Alasdair and I contemplate the implications of global economic currents on gold's gleaming ascent. We scrutinize the faltering US dollar, the influence of interest rates on the G7 economies, and the stark realities facing the European banking system. The episode culminates with a glimpse into the profound challenges of recapitalizing the European Central Bank, offering listeners a riveting panoramic view on the pressing issues shaping the world's financial future. Join us as we unravel these golden insights, equipping you with the foresight to traverse the tumultuous tides of our global economy.

Federal debt is soaring out of control, and perhaps it is not surprising that the CBO has not updated its forecasts with this debt uncertainty. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.
Alasdair Macleod of Goldmoney joins us for a discussion of the role of gold in global finance, including BRICS nations' impact on currency markets and potential manipulations in gold trading. He also addresses the implications of rising inflation and debt levels on the economy. The conversation provides an analysis of current economic trends and their effects on the future financial landscape. ⚠ Please consider subscribing to our channel!
Tom welcomes back Alasdair Macleod to the show. Alasdair notes that gold prices rose significantly last week, but the miners did not hedge their positions. He belives this is because mining boards have come to realize that it is the weakening US dollar, not gold, that is the cause of the price increase. As a result, they have decided to hold off on hedging their positions. However, energy costs are still a concern as they can rise unpredictably. The commitment of traders report shows that many derivative markets are held by bullion banks in short positions. The open interest on COMEX is currently high, and Alasdair believes it could increase further. He sees COMEX as a key indicator for the gold market and believes that the bullion banks are facing a challenging situation with significant short positions. The reverse repos facility provided by the Federal Reserve has seen a decline in usage as money market funds have shifted to investing in Treasury bills, which offer better interest rates. Despite the rising government debt, funding frustrations have been avoided as money market funds find alternatives. However, this could put pressure on the bullion banking community if liquidity dries up and makes it difficult to fund government debt. There is speculation that a significant amount of gold, half of the world's total reserves, may no longer exist due to leasing and potential disappearance from the New York Fed. The Fed's announcement of a dovish pivot has caused the US dollar index to drop, leading to a decline in the yen carry trade. Investors are seeking alternative investments like gold. The Middle East conflict, particularly due to Houthi-Iranian aggression, could introduce further instability to the credit market. The Federal Reserve's priorities are shifting to focus on job creation for the upcoming presidential election. This shift has resulted in a fall in profits for the carry trade and a decline in the US dollar's trade weighted index. Central banks, including the Federal Reserve, have become more focused on funding governments rather than protecting the public from inflation and devaluation. The banking system, particularly in Europe, is highly leveraged and vulnerable to rising interest rates. The return of free banking is advocated by many, where banks are responsible for their own problems. The LBMA is experiencing a decrease in market share due to the popularity of places like Dubai, where gold is sold based solely on weight at the gold souk. The LBMA's efforts to gain preferential treatment from the Bank of International Settlements have been unsuccessful. Gold's value has been denied and downplayed by the US government, as a rise in gold prices would not be geopolitically beneficial. The situation in Argentina, with its President Milei is worth watching. Escalating tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine are also impacting energy prices and geopolitical dynamics.

Alasdair Macleod believes that the US dollar is heading towards a major financial crisis due to its unsustainable debt trap, contraction of bank credit and rising interest rates. He believes that Russia and China are behind the destabilization of the US dollar as a global currency and are attempting to introduce a new single, gold-backed trade settlement currency, which the enlarged BRICS membership could potentially use. This currency does not include any retailers yet, but those involved in international trade transactions would need to use it. McLeod believes that the US government has been sending Henry Kissinger and Janet Yellen to convince China to not abandon the US dollar, as the consequences would be immense. However, he still believes that the majority of BRICS members will ultimately support this new currency in order to improve monetary stability and create a stabilising effect on global markets. Alasdair believes that the Russia-Ukraine crisis and the US sanctions against Russia have been the catalysts for the introduction of a gold-backed currency. He believes that a financial war similar to a nuclear war is brewing due to the shift from fiat currency to gold, and the contraction in bank credit will result in a decrease in the nominal GDP of countries. To counteract this, and protect itself, Russia and China have been attempting to support poor countries in order to keep them away from Western control. Lastly, he discusses the historic situation of the Weimar Republic's financial collapse, which saw those with gold profit handsomely. He concludes that the only solution for the Russian economy was to move forward with the “financial war” which he predicts will happen at the Johannesburg BRICS summit.

Alasdair MacLeod returns for Part 2 of interview with him, in which he confidently predicts the banking system will need to be rescued by the central banks due to the high interest rates those policymakers are setting. The rescue will likely result in flooding the system with $trillions in fresh stimulus, further accelerating inflation and the destruction of the purchasing power of the world's major fiat currencies. Alasdair then explains how gold and other hard assets can be good options for protect the value of one's wealth should such a credit and/or banking crisis indeed ensue. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world's top experts on finance and money.

However, the idea that the insurance fund is there just to protect small depositors is very misleading. The primary duty of a modern central bank…

Alasdair Macleod, Michael Oliver & Chen Lin return. Last week Austrian economist Daniel Lacalle assured listeners that the dollar will remain as the world's reserve currency for at least the next 5 to 10 years. Alasdair may disagree. In his December 22nd article, he states, “2023 will see the consequences of Saudi Arabia ending the petrodollar. Energy exporters are feeling their way towards new commercial arrangements in a bid to replace yesterday's dollar. There's talk of a new Asian trade settlement currency. But we can expect oil exports to be offset by inward investment, particularly between Saudi Arabia, the GCC, and China. The most obvious surplus emerging in 2023 is of internationally held dollars, whose use-value is set to drop away leaving it as an empty shell. It amounts to a perfect storm for the dollar, and all those who sail with it. Those of us who live long enough to look back on these years are likely to find them to have been pivotal for both currencies and global alliances. They will likely mark the end of western supremacy and the emergence of a new, Asian economic domination.” If Alasdair is right that doesn't sound like the dollar will retain its hegemony for the next 5 to 10 years. We look forward to how he responds to Dr. Lacalle's viewpoint. As always we look forward to hear what markets Chen believes will be ripe for the picking in 2023 and how Michael views the dollar, gold, silver and US Treasuries.
Alasdair Macleod discusses the risks of being a creditor to a bank and the potential for depositor funds to be used to bail-in a bank in the event of its failure. There is potential for a crisis of confidence as such legislation has been passed by the G20 countries and should be a concern to large depositors. He then looks at the derivatives market, which has grown massively since the 1980s during a declining rate environment. Now we're at the point where interest rates have nowhere to go but up. This, along with off-balance sheet debt, could have a major impact on the European banking system. He then turns his attention to China, whose economy appears to be recovering, with the government being in full control of their banking system. China is securing resources and has long-term contracts with other countries. In contrast to the West, who have pivoted away from the Saudi's, China is accepting gold for oil with long-term contracts. Macleod explains why gold is the only legal money in existence and why the COT Open Interest metrics suggest that the gold market is oversold. Finally, he comments on the situation with Ukraine and Russia and the potential for global changes that could lead to the destruction of Western currencies, and the importance of people acquiring real money, such as gold, as insurance.

#AlasdairMacleod, #RafiFarber: Will the Fed break the markets? The #FederalReserve has been hiking interest rates at an unprecedented clip throughout the year in an effort to bring inflation back under control. Yet is hasn't been a smooth path, with pressure building in the foreign markets, while the stock, bond, and real estate markets at home have been sinking as well. This has led many to wonder if the Fed will be able to keep hiking rates without causing a 2008-like meltdown of the markets. And in today's call, Alasdair Macleod and Rafi Farber talk about whether the Fed will ultimately be able to pull it off. While the Fed suggests that it still has the situation under control, Alasdair points out the problems that it has started to, and will continue to run in to. Because with so much of the GDP and economic activity based on the Fed's decade of easy money policy, that's now being withdrawn, the pressure to eventually revert back to issuing more credit will be greater than ever. Additionally, as the Fed raises interest rates, they're experiencing losses on their bond portfolio. And Rafi talks about these losses, whether they will be reversed, and how he sees this ultimately unfolding.
