- [Adapt or Lose](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/adapt-or-lose/): Anyway you slice it, these are momentous times. The world’s economic system has been upended. The political situation is sharply divided between people who love America and those who hate it. A critical few of Trump’s overseas efforts have proven themselves expensive and intractable.
- [Thanks to All Clients! – October 16, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/thanks-to-all-clients-2/): Thanks to All Clients!
- [Gold’s Resilience Amid Market Turmoil](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/golds-resilience-amid-market-turmoil/): The price of gold is flat on the week, sitting at $4,105. It was up as much as $200 at one point before coming back down over the last day or two.
- [The Bond Market Is Pricing A Credibility Problem](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/the-bond-market-is-pricing-a-credibility-problem/): David McAlvany looks at the growing strain in global bond markets and why investors are beginning to worry about more than just inflation. The discussion also covers the risks of hedge fund leverage, foreign money flowing into U.S. markets, and why questions about government solvency could make physical gold increasingly important. Thanks for listening.
- [Readiness Entails Advance Action](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/readiness-entails-advance-action/): Emphasis this week remains on near-term uncertainty and long-term strength for the precious metals. It stands to reason that a metal (gold) that remains untarnished and undiminished in substance or value over thousands of years will always do well in the long term. In the short term, however, there are many variables in play.
- [A Matter of Time – October 9, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/a-matter-of-time/): A Matter of Time
- [Debt, Inflation, and Gold](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/debt-inflation-and-gold/): Silver is down about 2%, slipping below $60 to $59.72.
- [Will the “Hurdle Rate” Pop the AI Bubble?](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/will-the-hurdle-rate-pop-the-ai-bubble/): The AI buildout needs trillions of dollars, and borrowing costs are climbing. This week, David McAlvany looks at whether AI revenues can keep up with the debt, why the speed of rising rates matters, and the case for holding cash and gold while waiting for better prices.
- [Not a Wedding](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/not-a-wedding/): The McAlvany analysts do not discuss a tying of the knot this week, but their coverage of gold, AI, government debt, and consumer sentiment certainly puts an unusual twist on “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”
- [Signpost – October 2, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/signpost/): Signpost
- [Dollar Strength Pressures Metals](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/dollar-strength-pressures-metals/): Precious metals continued to pull back this week, with gold falling 3% and silver 6%. In turn the dollar pushed above 101. Despite the current drops in metals, gold still finished the quarter up 3.7% and platinum nearly 10%. As rising treasury yields and inflation put pressure on metals, escalating debt pressures bring potential for more volatility in the financial markets.
- [AI Asks Its Humans: “Where’s My Flux Capacitor?”](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/ai-asks-its-humans-wheres-my-flux-capacitor/): The AI boom is making enormous promises. But can the power supply, infrastructure, and revenues keep up with the debt being used to finance it? This week, David McAlvany examines the risks behind a projected $10 trillion AI buildout, from construction delays and rapidly outdated chips to revenue assumptions that leave little room for error. As AI debt spreads through banks, pension funds, and global bond markets, could a bust create a crisis bigger than 2008?
- [David McAlvany on Sovereign Debt, AI Risk, and Gold’s Long-Term Outlook](https://mcalvany.com/precious-metals/david-mcalvany-on-sovereign-debt-ai-risk-and-golds-long-term-outlook/): David McAlvany joined BNN Bloomberg to discuss what he sees as one of the largest risks facing global markets: mounting sovereign debt and the pressure higher interest rates are placing on government finances.
- [Crashing on Takeoff](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/crashing-on-takeoff/): Pilot training, like instruction for many skills, owes much to past mistakes made in the field. When Navy pilots started crashing immediately after taking off from aircraft carriers, the reason was eventually discovered. The pilots were changing radio frequencies from one air traffic control entity to another, which required them to bend and turn to reach the radio. The problem was that their aircraft was accelerating, climbing, and turning as they did this, which affected the pilot’s ability to maintain orientation.
- [Treasury Turmoil vs. Real Demand – September 25, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/treasury-turmoil-vs-real-demand/): Treasury Turmoil vs. Real Demand
- [Metals at a Crossroads](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/metals-at-a-crossroads/): Gold and silver took some volatile swings mid-week but finished off relatively flat. Palladium took the largest move in the metals markets, declining 2.5%. With rising interest rates in effect and higher bond yields, the dollar pushed up 0.8%. Gold meets resistance at $4,400, keeping it in a tight trading range, but with strong Chinese demand the interest in physical gold may push it over.
- [China Has Been Buying a Lot More Gold Than They Say](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/china-has-been-buying-a-lot-more-gold-than-they-say/): New research suggests China may hold far more gold than its official figures show, while its U.S. Treasury holdings continue to fall. This week, we discuss rising fuel costs and bond yields, the Fed’s latest rate hike, and why stock investors seem largely unfazed. We also look at troop movements in Europe, warnings from Poland, and the risk of a confrontation between Russia and NATO. A wider conflict could send gold lower at first, then bring investors back to it as financial pressures build. All of it raises a larger question: how much longer can governments keep adding debt at today’s interest rates?
- [Gold’s Best Setup in 50 Years as Market Risks Build | David McAlvany on Schwab Network](https://mcalvany.com/precious-metals/golds-best-setup-in-50-years-as-market-risks-build/): Recorded September 21, 2026, David McAlvany joins Schwab Network’s Trading 360 to discuss historically elevated stock market valuations and the two forces continuing to support them: liquidity and enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence.
- [Barbarous Relic or Economic Fulcrum for the World?](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/barbarous-relic-or-economic-fulcrum-for-the-world/): Gold today seems like a bit player in a massive production. The metal is easily overlooked, and many people wouldn’t miss it if it was cut from the script entirely. So why would the McAlvanys form a successful company to provide it, do so for over five decades, and provide so much in-depth analysis of it in the context of immensely wide-ranging world events and competing economic systems?
- [The Magic Hiking Theory – September 18, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/the-magic-hiking-theory/): The Magic Hiking Theory
- [Fed Hike Shakes Precious Metals](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/fed-hike-shakes-precious-metals/): It was FOMC day, and the Fed did something it hasn't done in a while: it raised rates. With markets bracing for the widely expected quarter-point hike, precious metals sold off in a textbook "buy the rumor, sell the news" move, and the dollar index jumped back above 100. But beneath the red on the screen, the long-term bull market in metals looks very much intact — and the team sees this dip as a kick in the shins, not a knockout.
- [China’s 22 Month Gold Buying Streak](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/chinas-22-month-gold-buying-streak/): China is now on its 22nd straight month of gold buying, even as prices climb and central banks continue adding to their reserves. David McAlvany looks at the pressure building on Kevin Warsh and the Fed as Trump calls for lower rates while the bond market pushes the other way. Rising oil prices, inflation expectations, and a 10-year Treasury above 5% are making the Fed’s next move increasingly difficult. And with talk of a $5,000 Trump dividend, the question is whether that check would still buy an ounce of gold by the time it arrives.
- [Swimming with Dumbbells](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/swimming-with-dumbbells/): In some ways, America is like Michael Phelps—still a spectacular athlete, but no longer winning gold medals like a machine. Can Trump whip America into top shape again? He’s certainly trying.
- [Remembering 9/11; Awaiting a Hike – September 11, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/remembering-9-11-awaiting-a-hike/): Remembering 9/11; Awaiting a Hike
- [The Cracks Are Showing](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/the-cracks-are-showing/): Gold barely budged this week while the real story played out beneath the surface: copper punched to a fresh all-time high, platinum ripped more than 7%, oil pushed back over $100, and the U.S. dollar quietly logged its sixth down day out of the last eight. On paper it looks calm. Underneath, the plumbing is straining — and gold's own behavior in 2026 is telling you so.
- [Markets Say Sweet, But Mood Sour At Home](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/markets-say-sweet-but-mood-sour-at-home/): Financial conditions are the loosest they have been in five years, risk markets remain comfortable, and investors are still borrowing aggressively to stay long. At home, the mood is very different as inflation, higher everyday costs, and strained household budgets keep consumer sentiment near recessionary levels. David McAlvany examines that growing disconnect, the rotation turning the Mag 7 into the “Lag 7,” and why most market risk indicators are still signaling smooth sailing. They also look at mounting pressure in global sovereign debt markets as governments face rising borrowing costs and record interest expenses. Finally, the Dutch government’s push to repatriate $12 billion in gold from the U.S. and Canada may be another sign that global trust is beginning to shift.
- [We’re Still In the “Slowly” Part of “Slowly, Then All at Once”](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/were-still-in-the-slowly-part-of-slowly-then-all-at-once/): The McAlvany analysts focus this week on the nature and prospects of the AI phenomenon, the Fed’s no-win dilemma, and the prospects for a continuing bull market in gold despite hesitancy in the metal’s recent rise. Some of these subjects entail important updates on long-term developments that move slowly but are portents of possible major dislocations in the future.
- [A New Accord? – September 4, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/a-new-accord/): A New Accord?
- [Metals Correct As Demand Builds](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/metals-correct-as-demand-builds/): Precious metals took a breather this week after a hot close to the summer, with gold slipping back under $4,400 and silver cooling into the mid-$60s. But August was a strong month across all four metals, gold is still positive on the year, and the smart money is quietly loading the boat. 
- [The AI Bubble’s Circular Financing Problem with Jack Gamble](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/the-ai-bubbles-circular-financing-problem-with-jack-gamble/): Jack Gamble of @NobodySpecialFinance joins David McAlvany to follow the money behind the AI boom. Jack examines the circular financing connecting Nvidia, CoreWeave, OpenAI, Microsoft, and others, along with massive data center spending, GPU depreciation, mounting debt, and the constant need for new capital. AI may prove transformative, but does that mean today’s investments will prove profitable? Jack and David explore the financial risks beneath the AI boom.
- [A Battle for the Ages](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/a-battle-for-the-ages/): For decades people like Don McAlvany, the founder of the McAlvany companies, rang the alarm bell about globalism. While the vast majority of Westerners took Western—especially American—functionality, freedom, and wealth for granted, Don and his fellow analysts cautioned that these blessings are perishable. Globalism was and is, in effect, global communism—from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. America had great ability, Somalia and China had great need.
- [Be Long Reality – August 28, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/be-long-reality/): Be Long Reality
- [What’s Driving Gold Higher?](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/whats-driving-gold-higher/): Markets remain relatively quiet following the volatility sparked by last week’s FED announcement. Gold added another $110 to trade just under $4,600 after blowing through resistance last week, while silver, platinum and palladium all pushed higher alongside it. Copper, meanwhile, printed a fresh all-time high — a signal the economy is running hot. We breakdown the fundamentals driving gold and silver to predict how the metals will move over the next few months.
- [What’s Next for Gold, Silver, and Copper? | David McAlvany on BNN Bloomberg’s The Close (08/27/26)](https://mcalvany.com/precious-metals/whats-next-for-gold-silver-and-copper-david-mcalvany-on-bnn-bloombergs-the-close-08-27-26/): On August 27, 2026, David McAlvany joined Lindsay Biscaia on BNN Bloomberg’s The Close to discuss what may be ahead for gold, silver, and copper. David examines how Federal Reserve policy, rising Treasury interest costs, and concerns over deficit sustainability are shaping the gold market. He also discusses the potential for renewed investor interest in silver and how AI spending, power-grid expansion, and decades of underinvestment could keep copper prices elevated.
- [Inflation Is The Plan, Gold Is The Answer](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/inflation-is-the-plan-gold-is-the-answer/): This week we look at Scott Bessent's efforts to keep foreign buyers like Japan invested in U.S. Treasuries, the growing likelihood of financial repression, and why investors like Stanley Druckenmiller are pushing back on the direction of fiscal and monetary policy. If the plan is to manage the debt through inflation, suppressed rates, and a weaker dollar, what can investors actually do to protect themselves? We discuss why gold continues to play such an important role when confidence in government debt and currencies begins to erode.
- [Won’t Get Fooled Again – August 21, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/wont-get-fooled-again/): Won’t Get Fooled Again
- [What Do Economics and Wheatgrass Have in Common?](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/what-do-economics-and-wheatgrass-have-in-common/): Economics and finance are like broccoli. They’re important for your health, but they often taste like…well, just ask George W. Bush. Because they taste so bad to so many people, most folks spend very little time thinking deeply about them. This leaves such philosophical vegetable haters vulnerable to sugary economic theories—tasty, but ultimately destructive.
- [Watch for HAI on Monday! – 08-21-26](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/watch-for-hai-on-monday-08-21-26/): Due to travel constraints, Hard Asset Insights will be delayed until Monday morning, August 24, 2026. We here at the McAlvany Financial Group hope you have a wonderful weekend!
- [Gold Finds Its Footing](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/gold-finds-its-footing/): Gold roared back this week, climbing 2.3% and jumping nearly $190 on our recording day alone after Treasury Secretary Bessent announced an expanded bond-buyback program. Platinum was the week's standout with a 4.3% gain, while the U.S. dollar slid back under 99. As gold approaches the next major resistance level, continued pressure on bond yields, the dollar, and global demand for gold provide footing for higher prices in the gold market.
- [James Rickards: Gold, AI, and the Fault Lines Beneath Global Markets](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/james-rickards-gold-ai-and-the-fault-lines-beneath-global-markets/): James Rickards joins David McAlvany to discuss the growing fault lines beneath global markets, including the yen carry trade, pressure in the Treasury market, geopolitical risk, and why he believes gold’s bull market is far from over.
- [Oil Supply Risks, $6,000 Gold, and the Hard Asset Trade | David McAlvany on Schwab Network](https://mcalvany.com/precious-metals/oil-supply-risks-6000-gold-and-the-hard-asset-trade-david-mcalvany-on-schwab-network/): Recorded August 17, 2026, David McAlvany joins Marlie Kayden on Schwab Network’s Trading 360 to discuss growing pressure in the global oil market, ongoing supply disruptions in the Middle East, and the limits facing U.S. shale production and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
- [Gold Under Pressure—Upward](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/gold-under-pressure-upward/): It was King Solomon who penned a truism for the ages when he noted that, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” This observation pertains to all of life, but gold bugs know it well. Gold often spends more time in corrections or doldrums than they would like, but when it soars, wow, it soars!
- [The Tip of the Spear – August 14, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/the-tip-of-the-spear/): The Tip of the Spear
- [Metals Shake Off The Pullback](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/metals-shake-off-the-pullback/): Gold and silver just delivered their strongest week in months, with gold rallying to $4,410 and silver climbing above $65. Zoom out and the picture is even better: gold is up roughly 12% in just three weeks off its recent lows, and silver has jumped about 18%. After a long summer of grinding sideways, the metals are stair-stepping higher again — and the setup for what comes next is worth paying attention to.
- [Fort Knox, Dollar Devaluation, and the Future of Gold](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/fort-knox-dollar-devaluation-and-the-future-of-gold/): This week’s show is built entirely around questions from our audience. David McAlvany discusses Fort Knox, the possibility of a deliberate dollar devaluation, and how Washington may ultimately deal with the national debt. He also examines why gold has continued to rise without broad participation from American investors and what could happen if retail demand finally arrives. Other topics include the future of the Federal Reserve, the possibility of a central bank digital currency, and concerns over gold confiscation. On the practical side, David covers gold coins versus bullion bars, required minimum distributions from a metals IRA, and building a portfolio after age 55. The conversation closes with his outlook for the next major move in precious metals.
- [Listen to Gold](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/listen-to-gold/): Gold and silver markets have a way of driving people crazy. People who recognize the metals' intrinsic value tend to accumulate them no matter their cost in fiat currency. But even gold and silver bugs have to live in the fiat currency world, so it’s nice when markets reflect reality and the metals start heading for much higher fiat prices.
- [Between a Rock and a Hard Place – August 7, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/between-a-rock-and-a-hard-place/): Between a Rock and a Hard Place
- [Metals Gain Momentum](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/metals-gain-momentum/): Precious metals came alive this week, with gold, silver, platinum, and palladium all posting strong gains as the U.S. dollar slid back under 100. It was a very different week from the quiet, sideways action of recent months — a welcome surprise driven by a weakening dollar, accelerating gold buying out of the East, and the first real hints of a technical breakout. Let's take a look at where prices stand as of Wednesday, August 5:
- [Can the Fed Make Inflation Disappear?](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/can-the-fed-make-inflation-disappear/): If the Federal Reserve cannot bring inflation back to 2%, could it simply change how inflation is defined? This week, David McAlvany explains why a new inflation framework might improve the official numbers without changing the prices people actually pay. David also continues the listener Q&A, covering when to sell precious metals, swapping silver for gold, the effects of higher interest rates on real estate, holding cash during a market repricing, retirement allocations, Basel III, and more.
- [A Personal Gold Standard](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/a-personal-gold-standard/): Narrative often affects reality, and there’s no shortage of words or attitudes employed against gold these days—which falls into the category of “there’s nothing new under the sun.” Those who recognize gold’s value have heard it all before. The emperor (fiat currency-based economics and quarterly capitalism) continues to diss gold because it exposes the inconvenient truth that he remains in the altogether.
- [The History of the Gold IRA: How Precious Metals Entered American Retirement Accounts](https://mcalvany.com/precious-metals/the-history-of-the-gold-ira/): Gold has been used to preserve wealth for thousands of years. The Gold IRA, by comparison, is a relatively recent development.
- [Before Our Withering Gaze – July 31, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/before-our-withering-gaze/): Before Our Withering Gaze
- [Markets Flash Warning Signs](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/markets-flash-warning-signs/): Metals took another quiet step lower this week as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium all drifted down together. But the bigger story was the Fed's decision to hold rates steady into a market that's starting to wobble under AI-driven stress in Asia. Beneath a boring dollar chart and a modest pullback in the metals, the setup that has historically preceded gold's biggest moves is quietly falling into place.
- [The Debt Shot Clock Is Ticking For AI](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/the-debt-shot-clock-is-ticking-for-ai/): This week, David returns to several of the unanswered questions submitted during our June 17 webinar, covering inflation, the dollar, gold, and how investors should think about positioning in a changing market. They also examine the massive debt burden building beneath the AI boom as Tesla falls 30% from its May peak and Google drops 20%. John Paulson believes gold is still in the early stages of a long bull market, but what could keep that momentum going? Finally, with Kevin Warsh facing a difficult set of choices, what can the Fed realistically do from here? Thanks for listening.
- [Of Tectonic and Economic Shifts](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/of-tectonic-and-economic-shifts/): In an earthquake, a mudslide, or an erupting volcano, the landscape moves—which is often highly traumatic for those who witness or experience it. For daily life, we obviously depend on the earth not to move. When it does, it can be extremely disruptive.
- [The New Era That Awaits – July 24, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/the-new-era-that-awaits/): The New Era That Awaits
- [Gold Eyes Higher Prices](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/gold-eyes-higher-prices/): Gold and silver strengthened this week as gold climbed 2.5% and silver with a solid 4.5% gain. Technicals point towards precious metals establishing a durable bottom as the 65-week moving average and potential double-bottom pattern. For disciplined buyers, that combination is worth paying attention to.
- [The Old Market Order Is Breaking—What It Means for Gold](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/the-old-market-order-is-breaking-what-it-means-for-gold/): In this special edition of the McAlvany Weekly Commentary, we revisit highlights from our June 17, 2026 McAlvany Wealth Mangement webinar, When Old Assumptions Fray: Positioning for the New Market Order. David McAlvany examines why the assumptions that shaped the last several decades may no longer fit an environment of persistent inflation, rising debt, elevated valuations, and growing pressure on the U.S. dollar. Morgan Lewis then explores the changing petrodollar system, China’s gold-linked trade infrastructure, and the continued importance of central bank gold demand. We close with three key questions: Can higher interest rates hurt gold, can gold keep rising without retail participation, and could gold eventually reach $20,000 an ounce? Thanks for listening.
- [When You’re at Sea, Bring a Lifeboat](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/when-youre-at-sea-bring-a-lifeboat/): The albatross of government debt is fixed securely around President Trump’s neck, though the vast majority of that debt was incurred before or between his presidencies. To be sure, his hands are not clean on the matter. He has incurred much new debt to fund his growth and security mandates, but his approach to the matter is far different than his predecessors’. Most of them advocated some variation on Einstein’s supposed definition of insanity: doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
- [Inflation Is Policy – July 17, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/inflation-is-policy/): Inflation Is Policy
- [Gold’s Quiet Week](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/golds-quiet-week/): Kicking off the week, gold and silver experienced small swings in price, but finished nearly unchanged. Platinum and palladium both posted strong gains along with the S&P 500 nearing the all-time high. Long-term fundamentals including rising government debt and fiscal deficits continue to support precious metals. Despite current pauses in the metals markets, this period of consolidation offers the opportunity to increase your portfolio before gold’s next move.
- [Gold IRAs: The Pros and Cons of Including Precious Metals in Your Retirement Portfolio](https://mcalvany.com/precious-metals/gold-iras-the-pros-and-cons/): Retirement savings are usually built around paper assets such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and cash. Those assets can play an important role in a long-term financial plan, but they are also exposed to inflation, market volatility, currency devaluation, and changes in monetary policy.
- [When Inflation Leads To Decapitation](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/when-inflation-leads-to-decapitation/): The French Revolution offers a profound lesson in what happens when monetary disorder becomes a political crisis. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is "transforming" the economy, but many households are still struggling with the cost of everyday necessities. This week, David McAlvany examines inflation, the enormous capital flowing into AI, and Amazon’s decision to borrow billions to keep funding the buildout.
- [Out with the New, In with the Old](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/out-with-the-new-in-with-the-old/): As he has tried to reestablish the American economic system at home, President Trump has concomitantly tried to break up the world’s hidebound alliances that have fixed grievances that must be perennially fought over. Iran, of course, didn’t get the memo. Apparently it spent too much money on uranium enrichment, missiles, drones, proxy forces, and secret police to afford fax paper, so “death to America” persists—or perhaps just death.
- [Magician’s Sleight of Hand](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/magicians-sleight-of-hand/): Magician’s Sleight of Hand
- [Geopolitics Test Gold’s Strength](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/geopolitics-test-golds-strength/): Gold spent this week doing something it is not supposed to do. Bond yields spiked. The dollar climbed back over 101. Oil surged on renewed Iranian escalation. And gold finished the week higher anyway. Silver, meanwhile, went the other direction, pushing the gold–silver ratio back to 70:1.
- [Summer Quiet Is the Best Time to Accumulate Metals](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/summer-quiet-is-the-best-time-to-accumulate-metals/): Quiet summer markets may offer one of the best opportunities to steadily accumulate gold and silver. China imported 692 tonnes of gold during the first five months of the year, a 76% increase over last year. Meanwhile, Samsung shares are taking a hit as momentum in the semiconductor sector begins to fade. With strong-handed buyers continuing to pile into gold, much of that supply may not return to the market anytime soon.
- [Back Effort with Insurance](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/back-effort-with-insurance/): Unsurprisingly, events remain interesting and uncertain. Trump’s and Bessent’s attempt to reestablish the American System is spawning ever more radical opposition, which perhaps surprisingly has a long record of “success.” People engaged in everyday pursuits do in fact grow extremely weary of a constant harangue, and then often vote against their own interests just to make it stop.
- [The Invisible Hand – July 3, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/the-invisible-hand/): The Invisible Hand
- [Gold Market Reset](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/gold-market-reset/): Metals bounced back this week after a brutal second quarter, with gold pushing back above the $4,000 mark and silver flirting with $60 again. While the last three months delivered the worst quarterly performance in over a decade, the bigger picture — and the technical setup — still favors patient accumulators.
- [Increasing Use Of Chinese Yuan Is Bullish For Gold](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/increasing-use-of-chinese-yuan-is-bullish-for-gold/): This week on the McAlvany Weekly Commentary, David McAlvany looks at the growing use of the Chinese yuan in world trade and why that trend may be bullish for gold. As more countries look for alternatives to the dollar, gold recycling may begin to matter more than dollar recycling. They also discuss whether AI can realistically help solve the growing fiscal mess, or if that hope is just another magic rabbit pulled from the hat. Plus, a look at the Dow’s performance relative to gold over the last 25 years, and why that comparison tells a very different story than the headline indexes.
- [Don’t Give Up](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/dont-give-up/): The content creators featured below discuss the ongoing correction in the metals markets, having noted during the boom’s peak phase the possibility and desirability of such a correction. They clarify the factors involved in the correction and reassert that both fundamental and technical indicators argue for resumption of the bull market when the bull has fully caught his breath.
- [Timeless Wisdom – June 26, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/timeless-wisdom/): Timeless Wisdom
- [Metals Take a Breather](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/metals-take-a-breather/): Gold and silver take another slide this week, with gold dropping below the $4,000 level and silver moving just below $60. This follows a strengthening in the U.S. dollar and a hawkish Federal Reserve outlook. But when you step back from the daily ticks, the picture looks far less alarming. This is a seasonal, momentum-driven breather inside a bull market that is still very much intact — and possibly one of the better buying setups we've seen this year.
- [Dave Allman on Wall Street Uncut: Lessons from Market Giants](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/david-allman-on-wall-street-uncut-lessons-from-market-giants/): Dave Allman joins the McAlvany Weekly Commentary to discuss the technical analysts who helped shape his market thinking, including Joseph Granville and Robert Prechter, two influential figures in the history of technical analysis.
- [Other People’s Money](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/other-peoples-money/): These are indeed interesting times (thanks, Middle Kingdom, for that thoughtful wish). What’s true at breakfast is changed by lunch and unrecognizable by dinner. If you feel like you’re playing pool during an earthquake, you’re not alone.
- [Should Be Fun – June 19, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/should-be-fun/): Should Be Fun
- [FED Sparks Market Volatility](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/fed-sparks-market-volatility/): A volatile week in precious metals ended with everything pointing higher, though not without a late-day reversal courtesy of the Federal Reserve. Gold climbed nearly 4.5%, silver surged over 5%, and even equities pushed into positive territory before the FOMC announcement brought a sharp afternoon selloff across the board.
- [Going to “Warsh” That Debt Right Out of Our Hair](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/going-to-warsh-that-debt-right-out-of-our-hair/): This week, David McAlvany looks at new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and what his leadership may mean for rates, inflation, the Fed’s balance sheet, and America’s growing debt problem. He also asks whether a new Fed regime can really “Warsh” away years of monetary excess and fiscal strain. On the geopolitical front, David breaks down Trump’s need for a deal with Iran and why Iran understood its leverage.

- [Why is Gold so Dissed?](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/why-is-gold-so-dissed/): Building a bridge using measurements obtained with a rubber tape measure is not likely to result in a safe structure. So, building a fortune with investments measured by fiat currency is not likely to result in the desired worth.
- [Freedom to Use Interest Rates – June 12, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/freedom-to-use-interest-rates/): Last Friday, in response to a better-than-expected non-farm payroll jobs report that counterintuitively drove a sharp rise in interest rates and a sharp drop in stock prices, President Trump posted his dissatisfaction with the market reaction in the following Truth Social post: 
- [Opportunity Amid Market Volatility](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/opportunity-amid-market-volatility/): It's been a rough week across the board for precious metals. Gold is down 8.5%, silver off 12.5%, platinum down 10.5%, and palladium sliding 6.75%. Equities are taking hits too, with the S&P dropping 3.8%. Despite the decline in precious metals, the long-term outlook remains bullish due to continued purchases from central banks.
- [Central Banks Offloading Treasuries & Buying Gold](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/central-banks-offloading-treasuries-buying-gold/): "Under the surface of the markets, there's a lot happening. If you're looking at where the Dow, the S&P, the NASDAQ, AI companies are quoted, you would think that not only is all well, things have never been better. Those words, "never been better," are a little bit like "this time is different." There's a cautionary tale in there. You should look around and see if there's anyone heading to the exits. If anyone is not heading to the exits, it might be advisable to do so, at least with a part of your capital." —David McAlvany
- [Gold’s Value Doesn’t Change; Human Perception of It Does](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/golds-value-doesnt-change-human-perception-of-it-does/): If you treat the fact that gold’s dollar price never goes to zero as a meaningless aphorism, you’ve missed the point entirely. Yes, its dollar price can vary immensely, and go very low (or very high) at times. It sold for little more than $250 in 1999, for instance. Circumstances—and human response to those circumstances—can deeply affect gold’s dollar price.
- [On the Road Again – June 5, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/on-the-road-again-2026/): On the Road Again
- [Seasonal Weakness Meets Strong Demand](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/seasonal-weakness-meets-strong-demand/): Another quiet week for precious metals, with gold and silver rising just over 1%. Platinum and palladium took a small step back reflecting some weakness across the industrial metals. Equities continued their strong upwards movement, with the S&P 500 reaching a new record high and the dollar creeping up to 99.5. Despite June historically being one of gold’s weakest months, long-term fundamentals push for continued demand of physical gold.
- [Buy Hard Assets To Profit On AI](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/buy-hard-assets-to-profit-on-ai/): In this week’s commentary, David McAlvany looks at the massive spending behind AI and asks where the more durable opportunity may actually be. Goldman Sachs is calling it HALO: heavy assets, low obsolescence. Rather than chasing the front end of the AI trade, this episode explores the commodities and hard assets that may benefit from the buildout. David also previews the upcoming June 17 webinar and why this conversation matters for investors right now, register for that presentation here.
- [In Times of Change, Hold On to Something Steady](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/in-times-of-change-hold-on-to-something-steady/): This week the McAlvany analysts update their assessment of national and world events and those events’ subsequent impact on precious metals. The upshot of that analysis is really pretty simple: the world economy is going through massive changes, and those changes bode well for gold.
- [Proof of Concept – May 29, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/proof-of-concept/): Proof of Concept
- [Metals Drift As Risks Build](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/metals-drift-as-risks-build/): Precious metals had a quiet week with gold and silver slipping 1.8% and 1.5% respectively. Beneath the calm price action, discussion around inflation, oil prices, and Fed effectiveness highlighted the importance of finding opportunities to rotate between metals.
- [Inflection Point In The Gold & Silver Market](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/inflection-point-in-the-gold-silver-market/): Gold and silver appear to be reaching a major inflection point as central banks continue their aggressive accumulation of gold. While general investors have been slow to follow, that may be changing as confidence in paper assets begins to weaken. This week, David McAlvany looks at the tech stock melt-up, why it may be running on borrowed time, and what a shift in investor psychology could mean for precious metals. He also revisits 1971, a year that reshaped money, markets, and, surprisingly, Starbucks coffee.
- [Eat Your Vegetables](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/eat-your-vegetables/): The McAlvany analysts continue their unenviable role, which is the grown-up equivalent of getting kids to eat their vegetables. “Gold is good for you. It helps build strong financial bones. Open wide. Don’t spit it out.”
- [Welcome Kevin Warsh – May 22, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/welcome-kevin-warsh/): Welcome Kevin Warsh
- [Precious Metals Face Headwinds](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/precious-metals-face-headwinds/): The price of gold is down about 4% on the week at roughly $4,540.
- [Sovereign Debt Stress Points To Higher Gold](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/sovereign-debt-stress-points-to-higher-gold/): "So reasonably expect 4.1% CPI inflation. We're at 3.8 now. The next print, don't be surprised if it's moving in the direction of 4. Expect another bump in May. And if we continue to drain oil reserves in the context of 20% of global supplies remaining offline, you could see significantly higher oil prices. If that's in the cards: higher oil, higher CPI; higher CPI, higher interest rates." —David McAlvany
- [Perspective Matters](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/perspective-matters/): Gold continues to try the patience of investors—not because it has changed, but because so much else has, and investment parallax makes it seem that gold is the thing changing value.
- [Rapidly Approaching – May 15, 2026](https://mcalvany.com/mwm/rapidly-approaching/): Rapidly Approaching
- [Silver’s Explosive Rally](https://mcalvany.com/golden-rule-radio/silvers-explosive-rally/): Silver surged upwards this week with a 13% rise and nearly reached $90. While gold remained relatively flat, platinum continued its breakout and pushed up to $2,150. As central banks continue to buy gold, its value as a reserve currency begins to outweigh its use as a traded commodity. Comparatively, silver’s volatility keeps opportunities open for strategic exchanges based upon the gold-to-silver ratio.
- [The New, Unofficial, Global Gold Standard](https://mcalvany.com/weekly-commentary/the-new-unofficial-global-gold-standard/): This week, David McAlvany looks at the forces reshaping commodities, the growing pressure on Putin to find an exit from Ukraine, and the role government policy is playing in gold demand. The conversation also explores why today’s gold market is about more than investor speculation. A new, unofficial global gold standard may already be taking shape.
- [To Print or Not to Print](https://mcalvany.com/mcalvany-recap/to-print-or-not-to-print/): We’ve all heard the cynically humorous “heads I win, tails you lose” characterization of the M.O. of the powers that be. Too often it’s a way to endure the reality of what the charge accurately portrays.
