The 'Everything Bubble' Has Popped: Why Stocks Will Fall 50% In The Next Few Months - Harry Dent Financial author and demographic researcher Harry Dent @HarryDentjr returns to Kitco News with @JeremySzafron to outline his case that the global economy is in an unprecedented "everything bubble" driven by 17 years of continuous government stimulus. Dent breaks down why he anticipates a significant market correction, pointing to the rapidly growing private credit market as the primary vulnerability, comparing its unregulated nature to the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. He details his timeline for the markets, projecting that an initial stock market drop of 40% to 50% could happen rapidly. > Full video at Kitco: youtube.com/watch?v=aKALVE… Addressing the recent price action in the metals market, Dent argues that gold has joined the broader asset bubble and will not act as a safe haven during an initial liquidation event. Instead, he identifies long-term U.S. Treasury bonds and cash as the strategic vehicles for wealth preservation in the near term. Looking beyond the current cycle, he forecasts that India's rising urbanization and wealth will eventually drive a massive, fundamental bull market for physical gold. Finally, Dent explains his own decision to step away from the housing market, citing the aging Baby Boomer generation as a severe demographic headwind for real estate.

Central banks’ reactions to rising inflation weighing on gold prices, says @TDBank_US Bart Melek Gold prices may be struggling in the near term as rising inflation fears and a strong U.S. dollar weigh on investor sentiment, but the broader macroeconomic backdrop still supports the precious metal over the longer term, according to one Canadian bank. “In the end, it’s all about interest rates,” he said, adding that gold's failure to rally meaningfully amid a growing geopolitical crisis underscores how sensitive the metal has once again become to real yields. ...

SocGen reduces gold exposure as market volatility rises, but maintains $6,000 target The #gold market has done its job, providing solid returns and diversification in a world of uncertainty; however, according to one international bank, rising volatility in the market means it is now time to rein in some of that exposure.

“The Scariest Time Of My Life” | Gerald Celente’s Warning for the Global Reset War has a way of exposing what was already broken. As the conflict in the Middle East enters a more dangerous phase, markets are flashing a massive contradiction: #oil remains volatile and shipping routes are under severe strain, yet #gold and #silver are suffering a sharp weekly sell-off. > Full interview at Kitco: youtube.com/watch?v=QdYpKX… In this interview, @JeremySzafron, Anchor of Kitco News, sits down with @geraldcelente, Founder of the Trends Research Institute and Publisher of The Trends Journal, to break down the "Gold Paradox" and what it reveals about the state of the global economy. Celente argues that the current price action is a "rigged game" designed to mask the dire straits of a U.S. economy facing a $40 trillion debt level. They also dive into the tactical escalations surfacing in the Middle East, including reports that the administration is weighing a move on #Iran’s Kharg Island—a hub for 90% of the country’s crude exports. With a $200 billion war funding request on the table and diesel prices pushing past $5.00 a gallon, Celente warns that the "war squeeze" is now hitting the American kitchen table. Beyond geopolitics, Celente provides a blunt assessment of the "Dot-Com 2.0" AI bubble, explaining why he believes China is poised to lead the technological race while Western "Magnificent Seven" stocks face significant overinvestment risks.

What does the future hold for gold? With gold prices suffering their worst weekly drop in six years—down 8%— we can expect investor sentiment to take a significant hit. Sharp pullbacks tend to shake out conviction, especially among speculative traders.  Despite the short-term volatility, the question gold investors have to ask themselves is: What has changed? The same macroeconomic forces that pushed #gold to record highs earlier this year remain firmly in place... Full story at Kitco: kitco.com/news/article/2…

Gold’s pullback is a buying opportunity as debt risks continue to grow, says Tavi Costa The #gold market continues to frustrate investors, as it has seen its second 4% single-day loss since the U.S. and Israel started a war with Iran—an event that is creating significant economic uncertainty and driving energy prices and inflation higher. In an interview with Kitco News, @TaviCosta, founder and CEO of Azuria Capital, said he sees the current pullback in gold as noise within what he believes is a much larger, still early-stage bull market for #preciousmetals—one increasingly driven by structural forces reshaping both the mining industry and the global #economy itself...

Gran Pilar Gold Project Moves Toward Pilot Production | Brodie Sutherland @TOCVANVentures (CSE: TOC) is advancing its Gran Pilar gold-silver project in Sonora, Mexico, with a strategy that combines exploration drilling with a permitted pilot mining operation aimed at demonstrating heap leach production potential. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026, CEO Brodie Sutherland said the company spent three years consolidating the land package around a discovery first drilled by the Lundin Group in 1996. “We negotiated a deal to expand that property to 22 square kilometers,” Sutherland said, noting the company can now drill across the entire project area. > Full video at Kitco: youtube.com/watch?v=2Xu3cu… Tocvan has drilled close to 18,000 meters at Gran Pilar over the past five years and plans a minimum 20,000 meters in 2026 while advancing a pilot facility permitted to process an initial 50,000 tons of material. The company completed a 1,500-ton bulk sample in 2023, grading 1.9 g/t gold, and continues metallurgical work ahead of pilot operations planned later this year. “We’re getting over 95% recovery of gold,” Sutherland said, referring to lab-scale tests supporting the heap leach concept.
