We kick off June with a powerful move across the precious metals complex, as both gold and silver surge higher, defying expectations of seasonal weakness. In this KE Report Daily Editorial, Craig Hemke, founder of the TF Metals Report, joins us to break down what's driving the action, why silver's breakout matters, and how this rally could evolve. Key themes covered in this interview: Gold rallies $83 and silver jumps 5%, signaling strength despite flat equity markets. Craig highlights the summer rally potential, spurred by a falling U.S. Dollar Index and positive technical setups. Silver's breakout above key levels may be activating algorithmic buying and could spark broader momentum across miners. Craig sees a shift in sentiment as investors revisit mining equities, especially after Q1 earnings and improving margins heading into Q2. Discussion includes CoT reports, open interest washouts, and hedge fund positioning. The interview also touches on macroeconomic signals, potential commodity rotation, and geopolitical catalysts impacting safe-haven flows. Visit TF Metals Report for Craig's ongoing analysis

In today's Daily Editorial, we welcome back Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, to break down the sharp pullback in gold and mining stocks amid renewed strength in the U.S. dollar and equity markets. We explore the implications of a shifting trade policy narrative - moving from escalating tariff tensions to a tone of reconciliation - and ask: Is the "trade war premium" in gold now gone? Craig dissects: The timeline of gold's April rally and sharp reversal tied to tariff headlines Today's triple-whammy: rising energy prices, weaker gold, and post-earnings positioning pressure on miners How short-term technicals, like the dollar index and gold's 50-day moving average, may drive the next move Whether generalist investors are rotating out of gold stocks and back into risk-on trades We also look ahead to key catalysts this week: CPI, PPI, and Jerome Powell's Thursday speech… will inflation expectations and rate cut narratives shift again?

Craig Hemke, founder and editor of TF Metals Report, returns to break down gold's continued strength above $3,300 and the growing institutional acceptance of structurally higher prices. "The gold narrative has officially changed - and the big banks are finally catching up." We discuss: Why Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs are now forecasting $3,700–$4,500 gold What the Commitment of Traders (COT) data reveals about the repositioning of banks and hedge funds Why silver and mining stocks are still lagging despite strong bullion prices The psychological hurdle for long-time gold investors and why this time might be different Whether central bank demand, economic uncertainty, or market fragmentation is truly driving the gold rally Craig also explains why silver may soon “catch up”, but only once momentum kicks in, and unpacks what structural changes in the market could be signaling a longer-term shift in how precious metals behave.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to break down shifts in gold and silver market dynamics. Gold continues to trade around the $3,300 level with extreme daily volatility, yet Commitment of Traders (CoT) data is revealing highly unusual trends. Craig also shares his insights into whether banks and commercials are now positioning themselves for a long-term trend change in the gold market. In this interview, we focus on: Why the traditional COT patterns are reversing - Commercials are buying and covering shorts, while speculators are selling, even during a strong price rally. Implications of falling open interest despite gold's $500 move higher since February, and what that signals for the strength of the current bull market. Balancing ETF inflows - Over $21 billion moved into gold-backed ETFs in Q1 2025, yet Craig explains why this is still a relatively small amount in the broader financial system. Silver's lagging performance - Despite gold's breakout, silver remains stuck, and Craig outlines the key catalysts needed for silver to finally join the rally.

Craig Hemke, founder and editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to break down an increasingly chaotic market environment where gold surges while nearly everything else sells off. With the S&P 500 down over 3%, the U.S. dollar dropping 11% in 100 days, and bond yields rising, Craig unpacks what's driving this unprecedented divergence, and why gold continues to be the major winner. Key themes we cover: Capital flight out of U.S. assets and the breakdown of traditional “safe havens” Why this gold move feels different from any in recent memory Gold stocks lagging despite surging margins at $3,400 gold The potential setup for silver to play catch-up as the gold-silver ratio holds above 100 Whether gold stocks could finally decouple from silver and get re-rated on fundamentals Craig also shares insights on the Commitment of Traders (COT) report, revealing gold's rally is not driven by overcrowded hedge fund positioning, but possibly a commercial short squeeze. We close with a look at what gold miners might do with these outsized margins; M&A, dividends, buybacks, or development spending, and whether generalist capital will finally rotate into the sector.

Craig Hemke, editor of TF Metals Report, to dissect last week's sharp market selloff and its impact on precious metals. While gold and silver had been climbing steadily through Q1 - gold even up nearly 20% - they were not immune to the broad pullback, with both metals reversing sharply alongside global equity markets. Key topics discussed: The market-wide selloff and its ripple effect on gold and silver. Craig explains how liquidity needs and portfolio rebalancing by large funds contributed to the drop - even as fundamentals for precious metals remain intact. Historic parallels and sentiment shifts. Craig outlines similarities to past corrections and why this could be another consolidation before a rebound. Q1 earnings vs. market reaction. Despite record-high margins and profitability for gold producers, investors remain hesitant. Craig shares why generalist interest hasn't stuck - and whether this quarter's blowout numbers will matter. The frustrating disconnect in gold stocks. Gold is up over almost 100% since 2022 lows, yet many miners are still well below 2020 peaks. We explore what's holding them back: lack of growth, muted capital returns, and sector-wide neglect. Commitment of Traders (COT) report insights. Craig gives a preview of what the upcoming COT report may reveal about speculative positioning - why we might be nearing a reset point for the next leg higher. Long-term outlook for miners and strategy moving forward. With major producers sitting on strong balance sheets, M&A could heat up. Craig encourages a stock-picking approach: identify well-positioned juniors near large players rather than broad ETF exposure. Click here to visit Craig's website - TF Metals Report
Gold just closed Q1 over $3,100, up nearly 20% year-to-date, marking one of the strongest quarterly performances in recent memory. Craig Hemke, editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to break down what's driving this strength and why the equities haven't fully caught up. The GDX and GDXJ ETFs continue to lag, weighed down by large-cap underperformers like Newmont and Barrick. However, many individual gold and silver stocks have delivered outsized gains. Craig emphasizes this is a stock picker's market, not a time to rely on passive ETFs. We also discuss: How Q1 earnings could finally spotlight the widened margins across producers. The divergence between precious metals and broad markets (with the S&P down ~10% since February). Why silver's lag is mostly due to heavy futures positioning, despite strong physical demand. Whether gold's parabolic move requires a healthy pause—or if momentum will keep building. Click here to visit Craig's website - TF Metals Report

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to recap a standout Q1 for gold and silver, with gold holding above $3,000 and GDX at 12-year highs. He explains why this week could bring short-term volatility, driven by options expiry, contract rollovers, and end-of-quarter positioning. We discuss the surprising strength in gold at $3,000, silver's steady climb but lagging stocks, and copper pushing near record highs with little fanfare. Craig also shares thoughts on macro risks, political uncertainty, and why stagflation may be the path forward. Click here to visit Craig's website - TF Metals Report

Craig Hemke from TF Metals Report discusses macroeconomic trends, gold markets, and investment strategies. He emphasizes the importance of central bank demand for gold, driven by geopolitical tensions like Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has led to record purchases over the past three years. This demand has created a physical floor under the gold market despite rising interest rates and a strong dollar. Hemke also explores the role of the Federal Reserve, noting its significant impact on liquidity and market expectations. He discusses potential quantitative easing measures due to high government spending and deficits, which could further inflate asset prices. The yield curve inversion in 2024 was highlighted as a precursor to economic challenges, with the Fed's policy shifts influencing currency and metals markets. The conversation touches on the complexities of investing in precious metals, particularly silver, which straddles commodity and monetary roles. Hemke warned against passive investments like ETFs, advising investors to do thorough research when selecting individual mining stocks. He stresses the importance of a diversified portfolio and cautions against overexposure to any single asset. Contrarian investing is addressed, with Hemke encouraging prudence rather than extremism. He advises increasing allocations to gold gradually, emphasizing long-term strategic positioning rather than timing market dips. He concludes by reiterating the role of gold as a hedge against a debt-based monetary system nearing its limits, urging investors to focus on preserving purchasing power through physical ownership.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to discuss gold's breakout above $3,000, silver's continued strength, and the growing momentum in mining stocks. We explore the U.S. government's potential revaluation of its gold reserves as a means to fund a strategic Bitcoin reserve, analyzing how this move could impact monetary policy, market stability, and the broader financial system. Craig also breaks down the unusual pricing dislocations in gold and silver markets, highlighting the unprecedented movement of physical metal between vaults and across international borders. As mining stocks respond to record-breaking margins, we examine what this means for investors and whether the sector is finally seeing sustained institutional interest. The discussion wraps up with a look at the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decisions, the shifting global economic landscape, and how geopolitical tensions are influencing precious metals. Craig shares his insights on where gold and silver prices could be headed next and whether this rally has staying power. Click here to visit Craig's website - TF Metals Report

Craig Hemke, Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to discuss a number of macroeconomic factors from the revised GDP estimate lower, the weakness in manufacturing, tariff policies, sticky inflation, and the ever-increasing US debt issue that are creating the stagflationary environment of desperation in front of a potential recession and the impetus from this administration to make some big financial change... and it may involve gold. There has been so much news circulating lately from the Trump administration that has financial media speculating about the potential to revalue assets on the US balance sheet, possibly including the price gold is valued at. There are opinion pieces citing that all the tariffs going into place; and that they may be more than just a bargaining chip. Some outlets and pundits have proposed the real motivation behind these tariffs is that they are actually a way to bring funds into the federal government through that form of taxation, which could allow for faster debt repayment or even the formation of a sovereign wealth fund. The debate on the sovereign wealth fund comes down to where the necessary money will actually come from to create it. Then as far as what to buy with the sovereign wealth fund, many are proposing that it could include either gold, energy assets, Greenland, or even bitcoin. Craig then touches up the proposed idea from Judy Shelton back in 2018, which is circulating once again, where the US could sell long-dated 50-year or 100-year bonds that are indexed or redeemable in gold to make them more attractive. With so many ideas being thrown out as potential solutions, it does have many investors wondering if this administration is on the cusp of announcing some radical financial proposal. He points out that most of the ideas are very bullish for the precious metals. Click here to visit Craig's website – TF Metals Report

We explore the potential revaluation of gold by the U.S. Treasury and its implications on the national balance sheet and debt management. Craig theorizes the complexities surrounding the concept, including its possible use in a sovereign wealth fund and the logistical and market challenges it would pose. Additionally, the conversation shifts to the recent price action of gold and silver, dissecting how futures contracts and physical demand interact and impact market behavior. The discussion rounds up with an analysis of the performance of gold stocks, focusing on recent earnings reports, production costs, and the overall sector's health in a high gold price environment.

Craig Hemke believes there is an effort underway to undermine your personal sovereignty and financial freedom being orchestrated by central banks and the political elite, and gold is the kryptonite that will ultimately be their undoing.
