Craig Hemke – Tariff Craziness, Gold & Silver Price Resilience, Mining Stock Surge, and Market Drivers

Cory
August 11, 2025

 

Craig Hemke, founder and editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to break down the recent volatility in precious metals following last week’s gold tariff headlines – and the immediate backtrack. While daily swings grab headlines, Craig points out that gold remains in a strong long-term uptrend, recently posting its highest weekly close ever above $3,400.

 

We discuss:

 

  • Why gold’s fundamentals remain bullish despite short-term noise and political headlines.

  • The standout performance of gold and silver mining stocks, with GDX hitting highs not seen since 2011.

  • How recent earnings reports reveal producers are far more profitable than many investors expected.

  • Silver’s breakout above $37–$38, its best levels in over a decade, and what it means for margins in Q3.

  • The macro backdrop – weak economic data, Fed policy expectations, and the impact on the US dollar and metals prices.

Craig also shares insights on positioning from the CoT reports, the potential for further upside in both metals, and why institutional sentiment could be shifting in favor of gold and silver producers.

    HydroGraph is up 29.85%, today! If you do some Due Diligence you should understand what is going on here! DT

      Today Bill Gates said that cell phones are old technology, the new technology is smart tattoos, you won’t need a screen your brain will receive visual images.

      With HydroGraph you have the best of both worlds a technology company that is also producing a high tech commodity called Graphene, but is produced without mining. DT

        By the way, the future doesn’t look very bright for humans, we can’t change technology because when it creates an advantage in anything it will win out, HANDS DOWN! DT

      Another ATHBO : Target 1.86 : Both ABCD and XYZ.
      At that point there may be a pull back:
      Range: 1.42 down to 1.29.
      Looking good, DT!

          Exact ABCD on 10 minute chart:
          89~138~124 = 173 (1:1);
          186 (1:1.272).
          Next?

            Downside range still valid.

            Possible target: 173~141~162 = 130 (1:1).
            Somewhat negative: 121 (1:1.272).

          I don’t think so? DT

            You missed the boat on the easy cherry picking! DT

    I was just listening to the interview of Craig when just about half way through, it was overridden by somebody speaking German. I checked outside to see if ICE was on my back deck but it was coming from the Craig interview. I hope it was good information.

      I logged out and back in and the German was gone. (YouTube)

    HydroGraph looks like it is going to run hard and fast again today. The system is awash with mountains of fiat currency everywhere looking for a place to land, and right now a high tech stock that produces a great commodity is running hard. Its better to be hard in it than hard at it. DT
