  1. The 2-Year Market Bubble Has Begun: AI, Money Printing and Inflation | Clem Chambers

    The 2-Year Market Bubble Has Begun: AI, Money Printing and Inflation | Clem Chambers

    Is the stock market entering a massive bubble? Clem Chambers, CEO of Online Blockchain plc, joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron to break down why the AI infrastructure build-out and U.S. deficit spending are fueling a 2-year market bubble. Chambers also analyzes President Trump's high-stakes visit to China and Xi Jinping's warning over Taiwan, explaining why physical gold acts as the ultimate "thermostat" for global geopolitical risk. Moving beyond the semiconductor hype, Chambers outlines the hidden "choke point" in the AI revolution: a severe lack of electricity and grid capacity. He details why the real investment opportunities lie in hard assets, industrial batteries, and copper as the physical supply chain scrambles to meet surging energy demands. Finally, the two discuss central bank liquidity, the ongoing U.S. deficit, and how to navigate the markets as capital rotates away from geopolitical stress.

    The Hormuz Illusion: Why Hal Kempfer Predicts an 'Abundance of Oil'

    While markets focus on the trade negotiations between President Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing, the reality of a global industrial war footing is being ignored. Hal Kempfer, retired Marine Intelligence Officer and CEO of Global Risk Intelligence and Planning, joins Jeremy Szafron, Senior Anchor at Kitco News, to expose the massive disconnect between geopolitical reality and market complacency. Kempfer breaks down China's $189 billion missile supply chain surge, comparing Beijing's current resource desperation to Japan in the 1930s. He also unpacks the hidden $29 billion cost of the Iran war, the dangerous drain on U.S. munition stockpiles, and the terrifying reality of AI "leaping" into modern warfare. Finally, Kempfer gives his contrarian 6-month forecast for the Strait of Hormuz and explains why investors should actually be preparing for a dramatic drop in oil prices.

    Has The Fed Lost Control: Matthew Piepenburg on 5% Yields and the Debt Trap

    Is the latest 3.8% CPI print just another energy-driven inflation scare, or is the $40 trillion U.S. debt trap finally springing? Matthew Piepenburg, Partner at Von Greyerz, joins Jeremy Szafron, Senior Anchor at Kitco News, to break down the massive disconnect between Main Street reality and Wall Street fantasy. As 30-year U.S. Treasury yields hover near 5% and real wages fall, Piepenburg explains why the bond market has taken control away from the Federal Reserve. They discuss the immediate spot price disconnect in precious metals, why physical gold is migrating East, and the "invisible tax" of inflation that is actively destroying the middle class. Finally, Piepenburg reveals the hard math behind a $20,000 gold target—arguing that gold is not in a bubble, but rather paper currency is in a terminal decline.

    “I Could Not Be More Bullish”: Pierre Lassonde’s $17,250 Gold Target

    With gold holding firmly above $4,700 an ounce and silver breaking into the $80 to $85 range, Pierre Lassonde returns to Kitco News to explain the architecture of the new bull market. The Canadian Mining Hall of Fame inductee and resource sector pioneer breaks down his $17,250 gold target, highlighting the striking parallels between the late 1970s and today’s macroeconomic environment. Lassonde details how $40 trillion in U.S. debt and persistent deficits are forcing a fundamental shift in the global financial architecture. He explains why central banks are relentlessly diversifying away from the U.S. dollar, driving physical price discovery to the East and treating gold as the “currency of last reserve”. Beyond the metal, Lassonde unpacks the immense optionality in mining equities today. He discusses why current stock prices fail to reflect the potential for 5x margin expansion, questions Barrick Gold's current strategy, and calls out Canadian pension funds for their lack of domestic investment. Plus, he reveals why copper-gold deposits are the true "nirvana" of the mining sector in an electrified world.

    Gold is eyeing a massive run to $6,000, and silver just broke out past $80. Gary Wagner reveals the exact charts driving the precious metals bull market and maps the key technical levels you need to watch. Despite a hotter-than-expected U.S. jobs report reinforcing the Federal Reserve's "higher-for-longer" rate stance, the precious metals sector is accelerating. Gary Wagner, Editor of The Gold Forecast, joins Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron for a special technical presentation detailing the Elliott Wave structure of gold and the mathematical case for a $6,000 target by year-end. They also break down the next resistance levels for silver—including a potential run to $90—and analyze what the U.S. Dollar (DXY) and GDX miners are signaling for the long-term rally.

    China's 17 Month Gold Spree: Why Central Banks Bought 244 Tonnes In Q1 | Dominic Frisby

    Central banks acquired 244 tonnes of gold in the first quarter of 2026, marking 10 out of the last 11 quarters where sovereign purchases exceeded 200 tonnes. Jeremy Szafron anchors an exclusive 45 minute deep dive with financial historian and author Dominic Frisby to uncover the reality of this massive sovereign accumulation. In this masterclass interview, Frisby reveals why China’s official reserve number of 2,300 tonnes is masking a true stockpile that could be closer to 30,000 tonnes. He details how domestic mining, Shanghai Gold Exchange withdrawals, and undeclared imports point to a hidden reserve designed to eventually challenge the US dollar's global dominance. The conversation also explores the Bank of France's recent 129 tonne repatriation, revealing the critical difference between holding gold on a ledger and securing physical bullion within sovereign borders. Frisby, launching his new book The Secret History of Gold, goes beyond standard macro analysis to expose how artificial intelligence threatens the traditional income tax base, why Tether is hoarding $20 billion in physical metal, and what Triffin’s Dilemma means for the future of American manufacturing. For retail investors, Frisby outlines his $10,000 gold target by 2030, explains the "Dolce Far Niente" portfolio strategy, and breaks down the current disconnect in mining equities.

    What Breaks The Gold Bull Market? WGC Reveals The ‘Warning Sign’ Hidden In The Data

    Gold is trading near record territory, and silver is surging, but the real story is who controls the metal. For decades, price discovery has been dominated by London and New York. Today, physical demand in Asia, central bank accumulation, and sovereign wealth fund activity are forcing investors to ask if the marginal ounce is moving East. In this interview, Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Joe Cavatoni from the World Gold Council to dissect the Q1 Gold Demand Trends report. Cavatoni breaks down the disconnect between Western ETF outflows and Eastern physical premiums, how the WGC tracks China’s unreported gold buying, and why central banks like Turkey are using gold swaps for emergency dollar liquidity. They also explore France's recent gold mark-to-market strategy and the single recycling metric that could signal a top in the current gold bull market.

    Why Gold Still Matters as Money Goes Digital | Chris Giancarlo

    Is the push for a digital dollar a necessary upgrade to protect America's financial dominance, or is it laying the groundwork for financial surveillance? Former CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo joins Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron to cut through the noise on the future of your money. In this exclusive interview, Giancarlo explains why traditional U.S. banks are using their lobbying power to slow down stablecoin innovation, the reality of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) acting as potential tools for government repression, and why he believes the U.S. must encode privacy rights into digital money to maintain global dominance. We also explore the paradox of why major stablecoin issuers are aggressively hoarding physical gold, the enduring value of precious metals as fiat systems go digital, and how Wall Street's core plumbing, the DTCC, is actively moving toward tokenized securities.
