The French central bank recently sold all of the gold it had stored in New York and replaced it with higher-quality bars that will remain in France. French officials say the move was to increase the quality of its reserves and was not politically motivated. Mike Maharrey doesn't think that's the entire story, and in this episode of the Midweek Memo, he says the quiet part out loud. This move was almost certainly motivated in part by politics. Mike explains why France (and many other countries) w...

Treasuries have historically served as a safe haven in times of geopolitical uncertainty. Not this time. Bonds have sold off modestly since the beginning of the U.S.-Iran conflict, as evidenced by rising yields. As Mike Maharrey explains in this week's Midweek Memo podcast, it sure looks like gold is the last safe haven standing. He explains why Treasuries are struggling to catch a bid and how a long war could exacerbate the situation. He also highlights a note by UBS to make a bullish case for ...

The U.S. has launched a war against Iran. What does that mean for gold and silver? Of course, war, but its very nature, is unpredictable. But we do have plenty of past wars we can look at to establish historical trends. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey does just that, looking at the trajectory of the gold price during past wars. He finds that war itself has not had the significant impact on gold prices one might expect. There are other dynamics we need to consider....

"Money is Money, and Paper is Paper. All the invention of man cannot make them otherwise." With that line, Thomas Paine opened a devastating critique of paper money, clearly demonstrating that gold and silver are far superior. Unfortunately, the powers that be didn't listen to Paine. And neither did the investment world, because it's managed to turn the market for gold and silver into its own paper markets. It's not exactly the same as fiat money, but the impacts are similar. We're seeing this m...

Big sell-offs in gold and silver are scary. They're unnerving. And they are inevitable. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey puts the recent correction in gold and silver in perspective. The announcement of Keven Warsh as Trump's new Federal Reserve Chairman spooked the markets because of his perceived hawkishness, and that sparked the sell-off. Mike explains why it was an overreaction, and that hawkishness probably won't matter when Fed policy meets current economic r...
