Silver has finally broken through a significant price level. Could this be the beginning of a breakout that sends silver to new record highs? In this episode of the Money Metals Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey makes the case that this is the start of the much-anticipated silver bull run, where the white metal finally catches up with gold. And even if it's not, silver is still poised for a breakout. Mike also talks about the tax cut/spending bill working its way through Congress in light of the budget deficits and national debt. He takes on the idea that the tax cuts will "pay for themselves" and won't increase the debt, arguing that this idea doesn't stand up to historical scrutiny absent significant spending cuts.

He also highlights one big bank's bullish forecast for both gold and silver.

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.

In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey puts the current market chaos into context, zooming in to focus on what he believes is a much bigger narrative.

In this week's Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey explains the move and its potential impact, and puts it in the context of Fed monetary policy history. He also talks about what we should make of Jerome Powell's insistence that the economy is "fine."

Gold hit a major milestone last week eclipsing $3,000 an ounce for the first time. Perhaps even more impressive was how fast gold pushed to that much-anticipated level. So, can this gold bull run continue? In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey talks about it, highlighting several factors driving gold higher and explaining why he thinks this gold can keep pushing higher.
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. He explains how the weaponization of the dollar has hastened de-dollarization and why even a small decline in the dollar's global reserve status could be disastrous. He also discusses how the de-dollarization trend could drive gold much higher than most people realize.
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.

He demonstrates the profound problem the central bank currently faces and how it's impacting your money.

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 government is destroying all of your money. And not just the penny. Starting with the January CPI report and the sudden revelation that price inflation isn't dead, Mike explains exactly what the government and the central bank are doing to your money.
Some records were made to be broken. Last year, gold hit record highs 40 times! Those weren't the only records relating to gold that fell in 2024.

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.

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.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has indicated interest rates probably need to stay higher for longer. President Donald Trump says we need deeper rate cuts now. Who is right? Both!

You might be surprised to learn that silver and gold are the best-performing assets so far this year.
