In a positive turn of events for the Turkish people, yearly inflation reached the lowest it has been in 4 years: 33.5%. This might seem like a laughable accomplishment, but given the turmoil of the Turkish Lira over the past decades, it is a huge positive step. In complete opposition to this, the Norwegian Central […]

Peter recently joined Danny on the Capitalcosm YouTube channel to lay out a connected story about reserve shifts, rising interest rates, and an overstated economic optimism at the top. He argues that foreign central banks are moving out of U.S. dollars into gold, that America’s record debt is starting to show in higher yields, and […]

UBS recently increased its March 2026 gold forecast by $100 to $3600. As much as regulatory entities try to make gold take a back seat, everyone else seems to recognize its huge value added to any investment portfolio. The continuing acceleration of the Dollar’s decline is a huge factor in the UBS gold increase projection. […]

Gold’s momentum refused to cool in the second quarter of 2025, with total demand—over-the-counter trades included—hitting 1,249 tonnes, up 3 percent year-on-year. In dollar terms the jump was far more dramatic: US$132 billion changed hands, a 45 percent leap to an all-time quarterly record.

In a report released yesterday by the European Central Bank, new data revealed that gold is now second only to the dollar as the world’s preferred reserve currency. This revelation follows a year where gold prices soared to historic highs, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak of the 1979 oil crisis. This renewed enthusiasm for gold coincides […]

For now, the U.S. dollar still reigns supreme as the world’s reserve currency. But cracks in this hegemony are widening, and in the wake of de-dollarization, there’s a golden opportunity for the yellow metal to re-emerge as a neutral global reserve asset in a multipolar currency regime. 

Peter recently joined Metals and Miners host Gary Bohm to discuss a range of economic topics, from consumer debt to the fragility of the U.S. dollar and the shifting global reserve landscape. He explains how reckless borrowing—by both consumers and governments—ties into the bigger story of unsustainable dollar dominance and its consequences for economic security, […]

Last week Peter joined Peter Gadsdon at The Mining Network for a wide-ranging conversation on the drivers behind the gold market, the true nature of global trade, and the persistent headwinds facing the US economy. In his critique of the mainstream narrative, Peter argues that headlines and central bank policies—not real economic fundamentals—are moving markets, […]
