Why gold and silver are surging now

In this Market Mondays clip, join Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings as they break down the outlook for gold, silver, and other precious metals heading into 2026. The trio dives deep into why gold and silver are hitting historic highs, forecasting where prices could peak, and what investors need to watch out for in these turbulent times.

Ian analyzes the connection between precious metals, economic threats, and historic moments such as the pre-Covid era, the European debt crisis, and the 2008 crash. He projects that in a worst-case scenario, gold could reach $5,480 an ounce, with silver potentially soaring to $153 or even $1,054. The discussion examines how economic instability, geopolitical tension, and uncertain leadership continue to drive investors to safer assets.

Troy points out that major banks and analysts, like J.P. Morgan and HSBC, have gold targets of $5,000 an ounce by Q4 of 2026, emphasizing that supply chain issues, instability, and a weakening dollar are fueling these bullish predictions. He recalls Robert Kiyosaki's early advocacy for silver and notes how commodities often thrive during times of global uncertainty.

Rashad provides context on the U.S. national debt’s rapid growth and its impact on dollar value, highlighting how increased government spending under recent administrations contributes to the ongoing bull market for stores of value like gold, silver, and even Bitcoin. He relays insight from Mike Novogratz, who forecasts a gold price of $10,000 if spending continues at its current pace.

Together, the Market Mondays team discusses the fading confidence in American economic leadership and traditional finance, how corporate profits are consolidating into a handful of companies, and why market highs aren’t telling the full story about the broader economy. They also touch on the potential for Bitcoin and other digital assets as additional stores of value, and tease upcoming conversations around platinum, copper, and rare earth elements.
