"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. 

Stephen Grootes speaks to Dr. Frikkie Maré, the CEO of the National Red Meat Producers’ Organisation (RPO) about the mounting pressures on South African meat prices, with the latest CPI data revealing that meat prices continue to surge, and the category’s annual inflation accelerated to 13.5%, marking some of the highest increases in the CPI basket. In other interviews, Jack Devnarain, Chairperson of the SA Guild of Actors talks about the growing concerns over mismanagement of film funding and the call from MPs for a thorough investigation.

Episode 182 of the Investor Professor Podcast breaks down a volatile start to the year as markets wrestle with mixed signals from economic data, shifting rate-cut expectations, and the accelerating AI narrative. The episode reviews major index performance — with the Dow showing relative strength while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq struggle — and unpacks fresh jobs and CPI data that point to a still-healthy economy. Despite strong fundamentals like falling inflation and steady employment growth, markets remain choppy as investors rethink valuations and how quickly AI could reshape entire industries.The conversation dives into the ripple effects of AI headlines across sectors ranging from software and wealth management to logistics and banking, highlighting how fear-driven selloffs may create opportunities for long-term investors. Rather than chasing short-term volatility, the episode emphasizes disciplined portfolio management, focusing on quality companies, valuation awareness, and increasing share count during pullbacks. Listeners will walk away with a clear, practical framework for navigating uncertainty, identifying potential bargains, and staying grounded in a long-term investing mindset.*This podcast contains general information that may not be suitable for everyone.

In this high-energy segment, economist and CEO of Hard Asset Management's Christian Briggs joins The Real Story to break down the latest inflation data—and why it's a massive vindication of President Trump's economic policies. With inflation falling to 2.4%, core CPI hitting its lowest level since March 2021, and Wall Street experts completely missing the mark, Briggs explains why this isn't luck—it's policy. He details how falling energy prices, stabilizing housing costs, private-sector job growth, and a sharp reduction in government payrolls are all working together to reset the economic trajectory. Briggs also looks ahead to 2026, predicting a “multi-term legacy” effect from Trump's tax and trade policies, including stronger GDP growth, expanded small business momentum, and larger tax refunds that could further stimulate the economy. If you want clear, unapologetic analysis of what these numbers actually mean—and where the U.S. economy could be headed next—Christian Briggs delivers it with precision and confidence.

Peter Tuchman reports from the NYSE after a wild week ending on Friday the 13th/Valentine's Day. He says the Dow closed up around 49,500, inching back toward 50,000 after Thursday's significant, broad-based selloff, while buyers stepped in with intent on solid volume (about 1.4B shares) and strong advances over declines. He notes transports and industrials were up, tech remained under pressure, and he discusses anxiety around the AI narrative while arguing the tech trade is pausing rather than broken. He adds CPI came in a bit lower than expected, earnings have been softer, and more clarity is needed from upcoming economic data, inflation/employment updates, interest-rate-cut expectations, and political headlines. He mentions gold and silver had surged then pulled back, crypto remains under pressure, and margin calls may be forcing some selling elsewhere. He closes with Valentine's Day wishes and a reminder that a three-day market closure can create added weekend uncertainty. 00:00 Einstein of Wall Street Intro from the NYSE Floor 00:50 Friday the 13th Market Close: Dow Near 50K, SPY Recap 01:13 Today's Bounce After the Selloff: Volume, Breadth & Sector Check 01:55 AI/Tech Anxiety vs. the Bigger Bull Narrative 03:17 What's Driving Uncertainty: CPI, Earnings, and Lack of Clarity 03:46 Looking Ahead: February Catalysts, Fed/White House Headlines 04:16 Gold, Silver, Crypto Pressure & Spillover Into Stocks 04:44 Valentine's Day Sign-Off + 3-Day Weekend Warning 05:20 Final Goodbye: Trade Like Einstein Closing Remarks All investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal.

Wall Street closed the week slightly higher, with the S&P 500 edging up as cooler US inflation offset weakness in tech. Treasury yields fell after the CPI reading kept hopes for Fed rate cuts alive, while Coinbase rebounded as Bitcoin surged to US$69,000. Elsewhere, European shares edged lower amid renewed concerns around AI valuations. In commodities, oil settled higher on optimism around the US inflation outlook, gold jumped more than 2% on rate-cut hopes, while iron ore slipped ahead of a holiday in China. Back home, Aussie shares are set to open higher ahead of a bumper week of earnings.

This week we examine the reassuring headlines in the employment and inflation reports, set against weakening retail sales and housing activity. On the surface, payroll growth and a softer CPI print suggested resilience. A closer look told a more fragile story. Nearly all net payroll gains were concentrated in health care and social services, leaving the broader labor market treading water. Inflation, meanwhile, cooled largely because of sharp month over month declines in energy and used vehicle prices. Strip out those volatile components and price pressures appear far less benign. Taken together, the data resemble a one legged stool. And investors seem to be taking note, as equities notched another negative week.

Markets closed out the week balancing cooler inflation against renewed volatility in tech and AI. U.S. CPI rose 2.4% year-over-year in January, with core inflation falling to 2.5% — the lowest level since March 2021. While the report strengthens the case for potential Fed rate cuts, it follows a robust labor market update earlier in the week, keeping policy expectations finely balanced. Equities struggled, with the Nasdaq dropping 2% amid fresh AI disruption fears despite Anthropic raising $30 billion at a $380 billion valuation. Meanwhile, China posted a record $242 billion current account surplus in Q4 2025, highlighting export resilience despite weak domestic demand. Oil slipped on reports that OPEC+ may resume production increases in April. Gold rebounded after briefly falling below $5,000 per ounce. The yen is on track for its strongest week in a year versus the dollar. In crypto, Bitcoin remains stable week-over-week. Coinbase shares rose despite a Q4 earnings miss, even as reports surfaced that CEO Brian Armstrong has sold roughly $500 million in stock over the past nine months. Several crypto CEOs, including leaders from Ripple, Gemini, Uniswap, and Chainlink, have joined the CFTC advisory group. A volatile week wraps with inflation cooling — but crosscurrents in AI, geopolitics, and liquidity remain firmly in play.

Together at last. In a rare joint performance, Dante and Matt join the Inside Economics crew to unpack January's jobs and CPI reports. The brief federal government shutdown delayed economic data releases a few days, which made for a loaded slate this week. Dante shares his impression of January's seemingly strong jobs report and then the team plays the stats game. A brief hiatus did not affect Marisa's ability to dominate. Matt then goes through the first inflation data of 2026, and where it looks like inflation is headed in the coming months.View the Full U.S. Macroeconomic Outlook Webinar here: https://events.moodys.com/ta6186-2026-bank-odwbn-mau28334-us-economic-outlook-q1View our AI generated paper here: https://www.economy.com/getfile?q=165AB685-ED95-43E8-8533-DA2CE131A01A&app=downloadHosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' and BlueSky @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn Questions or Comments, please email us at helpeconomy@moodys.com.

Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong break down the latest CPI report and what steady inflation means for the Fed in the months ahead. They also explore growing investor anxiety around AI-driven disruption, rising consumer debt concerns, and how policy proposals could impact markets and household finances.

Off the heels of the latest CPI data, Kevin Green says the January print is historically volatile but came in better than expected. He does discuss the lack of a volatility crush after a "good" report and underlines the lack of liquidity in today's session. He highlights the $26-$27 level on the VIX as one area to monitor to the upside. KG and Sam Vadas then dive into the AI narrative rolling around various sectors of the economy. He says to watch the financials stocks, below their collective 200-day moving average. Lastly, KG discusses the metals group with a report the Trump admin. will roll back aluminum and steel tariffs. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Yerbol Orynbayev, former governor of the World Bank, digs into the latest CPI report and the U.S. economy. He calls the report “good news” but says inflation and tariff risks remain. Reshoring manufacturing also boosts costs, which can lead to higher prices, he notes. “Stay alert and see how things play out,” he says. The fall in energy prices was the highlight of the report, he argues. Yerbol covers the potential for Fed rate cuts this year under Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

A cooler-than-expected CPI print was helped by a sharp downturn in energy prices, according to Kevin Hincks. He explains why the 1.5% slide across the sector was so crucial, especially the 7% cut in gasoline prices for January. However, airfare prices up 6% showed a sticky spot. Looking to the weekend, Kevin urges investors to mind the elevated VIX and continuing software beatdown as signs of weakness. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Although the latest CPI report shows inflation cooling to 2.4%, Stephen Kates warns that underlying data—including high utility costs and a shelter inflation overhang—reveals potential traps for the Federal Reserve. Further pressure looms from trade policies and pending tariffs, which could keep goods prices elevated well into 2026. Ultimately, rising airfares and these delayed economic impacts suggest that declaring victory over inflation is currently premature.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Mabrouk Chetouane argues the U.S. economy is stronger than markets think, citing the CPI report from this morning along with recent labor data. However, more data over the next 3-4 months is needed to firmly establish a trend. Mabrouk is watching the Fed's moves closely, along with winners and losers in the AI sector.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Kevin Green says the Fed may focus more on March and April CPI data if the January numbers come in hot. However, he believes if the print comes in light and closer to the Cleveland Fed's estimates, a "risk on" mentality could return to the markets. KG races through earnings moves from Applied Materials (AMAT), Coinbase (COIN), and Arista Networks (ANET). For today's session, KG provides a wider range based off of the CPI data volatility potential. To the upside for the S&P 500 (SPX), he's watching 6900 with downside support near 6700.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Collin Martin says a 2.5% increase on the year-over-year core CPI data was good, but under the hood he says there was some not so nice things. He describes the short-term picture differentiating itself from the 12-month period. Collin adds that the bond market "clearly likes" the report, but believes the Fed will remain on hold for "the next few meetings." Charles Schwab's Michael Townsend agrees, saying the labor market and inflation data should have the Fed on pause until the summer. Mike adds that any changes from the Fed are unlikely until a new Fed Chair is in place. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Inflation just shocked the market.The latest CPI report came in at 2.4%, lower than expected — while the jobs market remains strong and unemployment stays low.So now the big question:

Global markets are leaning into growth. Following the upside surprise in U.S. non-farm payrolls — with 130,000 jobs added and unemployment falling to 4.3% — investors are focusing on economic resilience rather than fading hopes of aggressive rate cuts. MSCI's All-World index is trading near record highs, while South Korea's Kospi has crossed 5,500 for the first time. Attention now turns to initial jobless claims and the upcoming CPI print, which could shape expectations for the Federal Reserve's June decision. CME FedWatch odds for a rate hold have climbed to 40%. In the UK, GDP expanded just 0.1% in Q4, while industrial production fell unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Nuveen has agreed to acquire asset manager Schroders for $13.5 billion. In digital assets, crypto markets remain steady despite Blockfills halting withdrawals. BlackRock is deepening its move into tokenized finance, bringing its Treasury-backed BUIDL token to Uniswap through Securitize. Court drama surrounding FTX has resurfaced, and Kraken has replaced its CFO ahead of its public listing. A busy macro backdrop with institutional crypto developments accelerating beneath the surface.

Carl Quintanilla, Sara Eisen, and David Faber kicked off the hour with a look at inflation - including a new alternative data source cited by the Treasury - ahead of tomorrow's CPI report. Citi Wealth's CIO joined the team with more on what it all could mean for markets, and possible rate cuts ahead... Before the team did a deep-dive on software: spanning the names worth buying here, according to a longtime veteran in the space (who's also in investor in Anthropic) - and what the AI buildout means for private credit as concerns grow over possible contagion risks... Goldman's Head of Corporate Credit is bullish as ever here. Plus: more on the day's biggest earnings reports - spanning exclusive commentary from the CFO of McDonalds, to what the street's saying about Cisco's numbers (as shares look for their worst day since April of last year).  Squawk on the Street Disclaimer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
