    Gold Strategy: Why You Must Store Metals Outside The Banking System | Marc Faber

    Gold is holding support near $4,500 an ounce following a 30-day pullback, but Dr. Marc Faber says investors focusing on day-to-day volatility are missing the larger structural shift. In this interview with Kitco News Senior Anchor Jeremy Szafron, the publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report explains his 50-year strategy for holding physical gold, why he hopes prices fall further to accumulate more, and his warnings about the tightening liquidity squeeze in private credit and broader markets. Faber also breaks down central bank gold accumulation, his assessment of the AI technology capital spending boom, and why storing precious metals outside the banking system is critical for long-term wealth protection.

    Copper Becomes A National Security Risk: AI Demand vs. Defense Supply Chains | Phil Ehr

    Retired US Navy Commander Phil Ehr joins Kitco News to break down why the global copper market is rapidly transitioning from a basic industrial story into a critical national security risk. Commander Ehr details how maritime chokepoints, specifically the Strait of Hormuz, are threatening the sulfuric acid supply chains required for copper refining. He unpacks the looming 2027 Pentagon procurement deadlines restricting materials from adversarial nations and warns that the defense sector will likely take priority over the consumer grid and AI data centers as critical mineral supplies tighten. "Copper is the glue that holds it all together," warns Commander Ehr, noting its non-negotiable role in everything from advanced missile guidance to the modern power grid.

    The Hidden Cost of AI That’s Fueling the Next Inflation Shock | Tavi Costa

    Is the "Build Phase" of the AI revolution creating a structural inflation shock the market is ignoring? Tavi Costa, Founder and CEO of Azuria Capital, joins Senior Anchor Jeremy Szafron to map out the collision between massive global debt, shrinking physical metal supplies, and the scramble for strategic resources. They break down why the math behind central bank reserves is shifting, with gold surpassing U.S. Treasuries as a primary reserve asset. Tavi argues this isn't just a political statement, but a calculated response to a Treasury market increasingly behaving like an emerging market. The discussion moves into the mechanics of the supply crunch, explaining why record-high copper and silver prices are failing to incentivize new production due to the "byproduct trap." Finally, Tavi addresses the "Build Phase" paradox: while AI may be deflationary in its mature stage, the current, capital-intensive race to construct the global electrical grid is consuming raw materials at an unsustainable rate.  Recorded June 3 2026 Follow Jeremy Szafron on X: @JeremySzafron (https://x.com/JeremySzafron)  Follow Kitco News on X: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://x.com/KitcoNewsNOW)  Follow Tavi Costa on X: @TaviCosta (https://x.com/TaviCosta) 00:00 Gold Tops Treasuries 00:57 Debt Trap And Rate Suppression 03:58 What Breaks If Fed Hikes 05:48 Main Street Inflation Squeeze 08:50 Populism And Mining Risk 09:17 Emerging Markets Rotation 11:11 Copper Price Discovery 14:13 Where New Supply Comes From 17:39 Silver Deficit And Repricing 20:54 Mining M&A And Orla Risks 23:43 Pricing Jurisdictional Risk 29:39 Argentina As Reform Roadmap 34:28 Government Metal Intervention 39:01 Managing Mining Volatility 45:56 What Would Break The Thesis 49:19 Closing Thoughts  #KitcoNews #Gold #Copper #MiningStocks #TaviCosta #Inflation #Macro #AI #Silver #Investing #Commodities #Mining __________________________________________________________________ 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 Listen to the PODCAST on 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1My4WgtF0ZhUnxkxDLoJof 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kitco-news/id1842889233 🎧 All podcast episodes available here → https://kitconews.buzzsprout.com 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.

    The Real Reason Gold Dropped: It Is Becoming The World's 'Neutral Asset' - Peter Boockvar

    The S&P 500 just hit all-time highs while inflation runs at 3.8% and real incomes fall for the third consecutive month. At the same time, gold has pulled back 12% despite ongoing geopolitical turmoil, and global bond yields are hitting multi-decade highs. Kitco News Senior Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Peter Boockvar, CIO of OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners and author of The Boock Report, to decode the market's most glaring contradictions. Boockvar breaks down the reality of this morning's PCE inflation print and explains why the long end of the bond market has officially seized control of monetary policy from Kevin Warsh and the Federal Reserve. The discussion uncovers the real reason gold sold off—and why its structural transition into the world's "neutral asset" for global trade is actually accelerating. Discover what the record 6% default rate in private credit signals about the K-shaped economy, why the AI trade is hitting physical commodity constraints, and where Boockvar is finding high-yield defensive opportunities as the two-speed economy cracks.

    Silver Is Leaving America as China Buys at a 20-Year High | Josh Phair

    Spot gold and silver are sliding to two-month lows as paper markets react to a potential U.S.-Iran interim peace draft, even as President Trump calls the Iranian reports a "complete fabrication". But behind the futures screens, the physical market is undergoing a massive structural overhaul. Kitco News Senior Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Josh Phair, CEO of Scottsdale Mint and the Wyoming Reserve, for an exclusive ground-level update. Phair breaks down the reality of physical supply, revealing why silver is actively leaving the United States for overseas markets and why LBMA good delivery premiums have jumped 20 to 40 cents in recent weeks. The discussion uncovers the quiet corporate shift away from paper—including tech companies planning $200M physical bullion purchases and Tesla amending SEC bylaws for physical gold. Discover what the operational flow tells us about the decentralization of physical assets, the State of Texas releasing its own gold coins in six weeks, and why the ultimate financial reset is tracking toward 2030.

    Warsh Nomination Was the Biggest ‘Hit Job’ on Precious Metals | Mark Thornton

    The American consumer is flashing historic warning signs, yet Wall Street is celebrating record corporate earnings. How are both true at the same time? Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute and Austrian economist, joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron to break down the mechanics of the "Two Economies." Dr. Thornton uncovers the truth behind the historic S&P 500 valuations, warning that the market hasn't been this overvalued in 150 years. He also takes aim at the Federal Reserve, calling the Kevin Warsh nomination the "biggest hit job" on the precious metals market, and explains why a Volcker-style rate hike is impossible with U.S. debt above 100% of GDP. Plus, a deep dive into the SILVER Act, the Cantillon Effect, and why the Middle East energy shock will embed inflation for years to come.

    “Hawks Are Extinct”: Peter Schiff Warns Fed Can’t Stop the Debt Crisis

    Wall Street is pushing toward record highs, but the bond market is flashing a severe warning. Peter Schiff, CEO and Chief Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Asset Management, joins Jeremy Szafron, Senior Anchor of Kitco News, to break down the massive disconnect between equities and the 30-year Treasury. Following the swearing-in of new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh and recent warnings from Bill Dudley, Schiff argues that "hawks are extinct" at the central bank and the 2% inflation target is now a pipe dream. Schiff details his timeline for a sovereign debt crisis, warning that the U.S. national debt will hit $50 trillion before the end of the presidential term, and explains why inflation could be worse under a second Trump administration than under Biden. Schiff also provides a critical update for physical metals investors. He breaks down why silver's recent run to $125 was just the first stop, where the AI tech bubble wealth will actually go when it evaporates into "money heaven," and shares an exclusive update on the future of tokenized gold (tGold) as a medium of exchange.

    The 80% Deflationary Crash: How The Next Wipeout Triggers 25% Inflation | David Hunter

    Is the final parabolic melt-up finally here? David Hunter, Chief Macro Strategist at Contrarian Macro Advisors, joins Jeremy Szafron to break down the mechanics of the market's "final blow-off" and the 80% deflationary bust he predicts will follow. As the S&P 500 pushes into record territory, Hunter explains why he believes we could see the market top as early as Labor Day. In this deep dive, we examine the hidden leverage in private equity, the potential for a $20 trillion Fed bailout, and why incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is facing an "inflation bind" created by the AI infrastructure boom.
