    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. Is your portfolio ready for the 80% wipeout—and the 25% inflation that Hunter expects to follow in the 2030s? Watch until the end for Hunter’s exact exit signal to watch before this 44-year bull market ends.

  2. The One Signal That Matters for Gold and Silver Right Now | David Morgan

    12H AGO

    The One Signal That Matters for Gold and Silver Right Now | David Morgan

    Silver veteran David Morgan debunks the COMEX default narrative, reveals why wholesale dealers are flooded with metal and why that is actually bullish, and names the one bond market signal that says the monetary reset is getting close. David Morgan — publisher of The Morgan Report and author of The Silver Manifesto — breaks down the structural divide in the silver market right now. Wholesale retail dealers are sitting on excess supply while commercial bars remain tight. The COMEX default story that has circulated for a decade has never materialized, and the objective inventory data from 2022 through 2025 proves it. Meanwhile, what silver did at $50 — stalling for seven trading days before exploding to $120 — is the exact same psychological setup investors should expect at $100. Morgan also addresses Hong Kong's July gold clearing rollout designed to rival London, the copper substitution threat to solar demand and why it is not a near-term driver, the energy cost squeeze separating royalty companies from miners, and why his number one signal for precious metals before year-end is not the silver price — it is the bond market. Recorded May 21 2026 ───────────────────────────────────────── WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS INTERVIEW ───────────────────────────────────────── • Why the COMEX silver default argument is fundamentally wrong — and what the actual inventory data shows from 2022 to 2025 • What the 2008 financial crisis tells us about silver in a credit contraction — silver rose 500% vs gold's 300% from the bottom • Why dealers running out of storage space from silver sellbacks is actually a bullish structural signal • The $50 psychological stall and exactly what to expect when silver tests $100 again • Hong Kong's July gold clearing system and why Eastern pricing power is a structural shift not a cycle • Why solar copper substitution cannot happen at the speed the market is pricing in • Silver price inelasticity — why industry will bid up to almost any price rather than go out of business • Why royalty and streaming companies are insulated from rising energy costs in ways direct miners are not • The one signal David Morgan is watching before year-end — and why he says it is getting close ───────────────────────────────────────── CHAPTERS ───────────────────────────────────────── 00:00 Data Over Hype 01:22 Macro Credit Crunch Setup 01:58 How Silver Acts in Crises 03:47 Liquidity Lessons From 2008 04:58 Retail Sellbacks and Price Walls 08:03 Industrial Demand and Stockpiling 11:09 Asia Imports and Accumulation 12:34 Signals From ETFs and COMEX 13:55 COMEX Default Myth Debunked 19:11 What to Watch Instead 19:46 Price Discovery and Volatility 21:04 Deficits Then vs Now 23:26 Silver Price Elasticity 24:24 Industrial Demand Inelasticity 25:51 Hong Kong Gold Challenge 27:55 Silver Institutional Bid 29:41 Solar Substitution Debate 31:56 Energy Costs and Mining Equities 36:45 Who Sells Silver at $100? 39:20 The Ultimate Bond Market Signal 42:12 Silver Sunrise and Final Thoughts #SilverPrice #DavidMorgan #KitcoNews #GoldPrice #PreciousMetals __________________________________________________________________ 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.

    Why Gold Needs a $500 Drop to Flush Out "Momentum" Buyers | Ted Oakley

    The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield is testing 5.18%, fundamentally shifting the math for equities, credit, and the traditional 60/40 portfolio. While Wall Street continues to buy the AI tech dream, Oxbow Advisors Founder and Managing Partner Ted Oakley warns of a severe disconnect between the stock market and the real economy. In this Kitco News exclusive, Oakley breaks down the risks of late-cycle complacency and explains why the passive bid keeping the S&P 500 afloat will eventually dry up. Oakley details the physical energy reality behind the $725 billion AI buildout, sharing exactly why institutions will soon be forced to buy energy stocks, and lists his top pipeline and driller stock picks. He also outlines his contrarian view on precious metals, explaining why gold may need a $500 drop to flush out momentum buyers before its next major leg higher, and reveals the gold and silver miners currently sitting at historic profitability spreads. Finally, Oakley shares his core wealth preservation rules for investors navigating a high-yield environment.

    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.

    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.

    Silver Breaks $80 as Gold Eyes $6,000, Gary Wagner Charts the Levels

    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.
