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

    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.

    Gold Will Fall First, Then ‘Fly Sky High,’ Bert Dohmen Says

    Are we facing a perfect storm of illiquidity? Bert Dohmen returns to Kitco News to put his 2026 market warning to the test, revealing how institutional investors are actively distributing risk to retail investors while masking deep systemic vulnerabilities. Dohmen breaks down the hidden dangers inside the private credit market, explaining why major funds are freezing redemptions and getting caught in a leverage trap that will lead markets "into the abyss." He also unpacks his contrarian view on why standard economic theory regarding the Federal Reserve and inflation is backward, outlines impending global resource shocks, and details his specific timeline for when gold and silver will establish a market bottom before surging higher.

    The 91-Year Debasement Trade: Why $4,600 Gold is Just the Beginning - James Grant

    As the U.S. debt hits 100% of GDP and the 30-year Treasury yield nears the 5% mark, the bond market is finally forcing Washington’s hand. In this deep-dive interview, James Grant, founder of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, joins Jeremy Szafron to discuss why the Federal Reserve now regards gold as an "existential threat" to its discretionary power. Grant warns that the current era of "Fiscal Dominance" means the Treasury’s interest bill is increasingly limiting what monetary policy can actually achieve. We explore the hidden "time bomb" in the $30 trillion private credit market, where stripped-away covenants and opaque "marks" have created a cycle that Grant believes must end in a "gale of fear". From the AI CapEx bubble to the 91-year debasement of the dollar, this is a masterclass in credit discipline and monetary history.  Recorded May 1 2026 Follow Jeremy Szafron on X: @JeremySzafron (https://x.com/JeremySzafron) Follow Kitco News on X: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://x.com/KitcoNewsNOW) Chapters: 00:00 Inflation Meets Bonds: The 5% Warning 00:54 Fiscal Dominance: Is the Treasury Running the Fed? 03:29 The Private Credit Time Bomb 04:05 Insurance Risk: Private Equity’s New Play 07:24 The Erosion of Covenants and Opaque Marks 10:18 LMEs: The "Extend and Pretend" Peak 12:38 The AI CapEx Bubble: Bubble vs. Use Case 17:02 Tech Cycles: Lessons from Railroads & Fiber Optics 19:44 Dollar Liquidity and the Fed’s Next Trap 24:18 The 91-Year Debasement Trade: Gold $4,500 28:55 Silver: Industrial Demand vs. Monetary Value 42:39 Why the Fed Hates Gold: The Hard Limit  #Gold #FederalReserve #DebtCrisis #JamesGrant #Investing #Macro #Inflation #Silver #Economy #Kitco  __________________________________________________________________ Like, share, and subscribe to Kitco News—and turn on alerts to stay current with expert interviews, market insights, and breaking news coverage.  FOLLOW US:   X: https://x.com/kitconewsnow   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kitconews   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KitcoNews   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kitconews Visit: https://Kitco.com/ for live gold, silver, and crypto prices, the latest mining news, and macroeconomic insights.   Live gold price and chart: https://www.kitco.com/charts/gold Live silver price and chart: https://www.kitco.com/charts/silver Live crypto market data: https://www.kitco.com/price/crypto Learn more about Kitco News: https://www.kitco.com/news/about/  For more information on advertising, sponsorship and marketing promotions – please visit our online media kit at: https://www.kitco.com/advertising   Disclaimer:   The videos are not intended to provide trading advice, and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Kitco Metals Inc.

    Why Most Portfolios Are Still Wrong on Gold | Jeff Weniger

    Jeff Weniger, Head of Equity Strategy at WisdomTree, joins Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron to break down the extreme volatility in the precious metals market and explain why holding zero percent in gold is a massive portfolio risk. Weniger analyzes the lagged effect of Federal Reserve policy, noting that "Jay Powell gave a gift to precious metals" 19 months ago, and explains why that liquidity is still fueling risk assets today. The discussion covers the 78 percent surge in Chinese silver imports, the resilience of the consumer against $106 oil, and why the recent breakout in copper signals global economic expansion. Weniger also addresses the safe haven debate, pointing out how "Bitcoin decided to die on the vine during the two s and p selloffs" while physical gold proved its worth as a true portfolio diversifier.

  8. Wall Street Is Wrong About Inflation And Gold Is Heading To $7000 | Steve Hanke

    Wall Street Is Wrong About Inflation And Gold Is Heading To $7000 | Steve Hanke

    Wall Street believes the inflation problem is solved, rate cuts are imminent, and the AI productivity boom will continue to drive equities to record highs. Johns Hopkins Professor of Applied Economics Steve Hanke says they are looking at the wrong data, and investors who follow the mainstream consensus are walking into a trap. In this interview with Jeremy Szafron, Professor Hanke breaks down why the current market calm is an illusion. He completely dismantles the narrative that the Middle East conflict and oil prices are the primary drivers of inflation. Instead, he points to the true elephant in the room: commercial bank lending. With bank credit expanding at nearly 7 percent, Hanke warns that a resurgence of sticky inflation is already baked into the economy, regardless of what the Federal Reserve does next. Hanke also takes aim at the Silicon Valley tech elite and the narrative that Artificial Intelligence will trigger a massive deflationary boom. He calls the AI productivity thesis pure hype and warns that tech billionaires pushing for Universal Basic Income are actually peddling a socialist agenda to protect their massive valuations. For precious metals investors, Hanke delivers a definitive outlook. He explains why the recent pullback in gold and silver was simply a shakeout of weak hands, confirming that the secular bull market is fully intact. Hanke lays out his case for a 7000 gold price target and reveals his exact HALO strategy Heavy Assets Low Obsolescence for navigating the coming commodity supercycle. Finally, he issues a stark warning to dump long term bonds and completely dismisses Bitcoin as a speculative asset with zero fundamental value. Recorded April 23 2026 Follow Jeremy Szafron on X:@JeremySzafron ( https://x.com/JeremySzafron) Follow Kitco News on X: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://twitter.com/kitconewsnow)  Follow Steve Hanke on X: @steve_hanke (https://x.com/steve_hanke) Key Takeaways: -The Real Inflation Threat: Commercial banks produce roughly 80 percent of the broad money supply. Accelerated bank lending guarantees higher inflation. -The 7000 Gold Target: The secular bull market in precious metals is intact, with options markets supporting a run to a 6000 or 7000 peak. -The HALO Strategy: Geopolitical fears are sparking a massive run on critical materials and HALO assets, creating a new supercycle. -The AI Illusion: The Silicon Valley narrative that AI will save the economy from inflation is completely disconnected from monetary reality. -The End of Bonds: The longest bull market in history for bonds is officially dead, making long term bonds a dangerous hold. #Gold #Inflation #SteveHanke #Investing #Commodities __________________________________________________________________   Disclaimer:   The videos are not intended to provide trading advice, and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Kitco Metals Inc.
