Global markets are flashing red as debt, inflation, and confidence collide. “Inflation is not a fatality. Inflation is a policy,” warns Daniel Lacalle, chief economist at Tressis, calling today’s turmoil a “slow-motion implosion” of advanced economies.Speaking with Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron, Lacalle says the Federal Reserve has been “too late, too slow, and too wrong” about inflation, and that central banks are “doing all they can to maintain the sovereign debt bubble alive.” He argues that gold and silver are “discounting currency destruction” and that “it is the start of the repricing of silver in the global economy.”Lacalle warns the next phase of the crisis could hit savers directly. “The only thing governments will do once they enter into this phase of currency debasement is to try to offset part of their liabilities with the wealth on the savings and the deposits of those they can control.”The interview unpacks the Fed’s policy trap, precious metals’ surge, and the coming “global reset.”(Recorded October 14, 2025)Disclaimer:  The videos are not intended to provide trading advice, and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Kitco Metals Inc.

The U.S. government is officially shut down, sending gold to a new all-time high near $3,900 an ounce. At the same time, Bitcoin is surging past $117,000 as major news breaks that could reshape the future of digital assets. In Singapore, a firm co-founded by Donald Trump Jr. announced plans for a crypto debit card, while in Washington, the IRS issued guidance that gives a green light for mass corporate Bitcoin adoption.  Is this the moment the "hard asset" thesis goes mainstream? Are we witnessing the decay of one system and the rapid construction of a parallel economy, all in the same 24-hour news cycle?In this essential market update, Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron is joined by Emmy-award winning journalist and host of the Coin Stories podcast, Natalie Brunell, to connect the dots on a truly historic day. Natalie breaks down why Washington's "spending problem" is a primary driver for both gold and Bitcoin, what the IRS tax ruling really means for corporate treasuries, and whether nation-states are already secretly adding Bitcoin to their reserves.Recorded October 1 2025Disclaimer:  The videos are not intended to provide trading advice, and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Kitco Metals Inc.

A "profound reversion cycle" is here, and the fourth quarter could set the tone for the next few decades, warns Mike McGlone, Senior Macro Strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence. McGlone tells Kitco News' Jeremy Szafron that gold's "scary" rally toward $4,000 is a major warning sign for the broader economy, pointing to a massive shift into gold ETFs this year after four years of outflows.McGlone cautions that with stock market volatility near five-year lows, even a minor reversion could cause the "dominoes to tumble" for risk assets. He explains why he believes industrial commodities are vulnerable, forecasting that crude oil is in a "low price cure trajectory" that could see it revert toward $40 a barrel. He also explains why copper's rally is at risk and why silver may continue to lag gold due to its industrial properties. Finally, McGlone breaks down why Bitcoin's correlation to the stock market is at its highest ever, making it a clear risk-on asset in this environment.Recorded September 30, 2025Follow Jeremy Szafron on X: @JeremySzafron (https://twitter.com/JeremySzafron) Follow Kitco News on X: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://twitter.com/kitconewsnow) Follow Mike McGlone on X: @mikemcglone11 (https://twitter.com/mikemcglone11)Disclaimer:  The videos are not intended to provide trading advice, and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Kitco Metals Inc.

It has been a week of extreme volatility and conflicting signals for the precious metals market. After gold futures surged past $3,800 to a new all-time record and silver smashed through $45, a blockbuster U.S. GDP report sent the dollar soaring and knocked metals back from their highs.In this environment of peak uncertainty, where the economic data is unreliable and even the Federal Reserve is openly disagreeing with itself, what do the charts say is next?Jeremy Szafron is joined by one of the best technical analysts in the business, Gary Wagner of TheGoldForecast.com, for a deep dive into the technical picture.

Peter Schiff warns that a "great repricing" is underway and the Federal Reserve is about to make its "biggest error yet" in the face of a U.S. sovereign debt crisis. In this exclusive interview with Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron, Schiff explains why this crisis won't be like 2008 and what it means for the U.S. dollar, gold, and your savings.Schiff argues that the entire gold and silver rally, which has seen both metals hit multi-year highs, has been driven by central banks, not retail investors. He reveals that sales volume from "stackers" is nowhere near previous peaks and explains what will happen when the public finally rushes in. He also directly refutes claims made by the U.S. Treasury Secretary about the performance of U.S. bonds, explaining why foreign investors are facing significant losses and are now selling their U.S. debt.Finally, Schiff gives his forecast for a potential financial panic, including the government's likely response of capital controls, and discusses the risk of nationalization for gold miners and confiscation for physical gold owners.Follow Jeremy Szafron on X: @JeremySzafron (https://x.com/JeremySzafron) Follow Kitco News on X: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://x.com/KitcoNewsNOW)Follow Peter Schiff on X: @PeterSchiff (https://x.com/PeterSchiff)This interview was recorded on September 16, 2025.Disclaimer:  The videos are not intended to provide trading advice, and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Kitco Metals Inc.
