In this episode, we are joined by Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, to break down one of the most volatile periods for precious metals in recent history. Craig provides a deep dive into the macroeconomic “perfect storm” currently suppressing prices.
Key Discussion Points:
- The Triple Threat to Gold: Craig explains how the 50-55 basis point shift in the 2-to-10-year yield curve, a rallying U.S. Dollar, and the massive 58-metric ton gold liquidation by Turkey have converged to drive prices lower.
- Central Bank Liquidity Concerns: An analysis of why sovereigns like Turkey are swapping gold for dollars to prop up local currencies and how this deviates from the decade-long trend of central bank accumulation.
- The “Peak Lunacy” in Rates: Why Craig believes the market has it wrong regarding future rate hikes, citing the unsustainable cost of refinancing $12 trillion in U.S. Treasuries at higher interest rates.
- The Disconnect in Mining Equities: A look at the severe margin compression facing producers as energy costs rise while metal prices fall, and why Q1 earnings might still surprise the market.
- Silver’s Technical Outlook: Evaluating the breakdown of the “one universal chart” and whether Silver is headed back toward its 200-day moving average or poised for a triple-digit recovery.
