Gold 2.0 Rakes It In – For Now

Gold 2.0 Rakes It In – For Now

Right on cue, as we’ve had bitcoin on the brain this week, Bloomberg notes the latest weekly flows into bitcoin ETFs.

Over the past three weeks? A cool $9 billion.

On some level, inflows make sense. Bitcoin, as a hard-coded asset that can preserve wealth in the digital age, should continue to see upside against fiat currencies.

But that isn’t happening in a vacuum.

There’s also an outflow in gold ETFs over the past few weeks:

In other words, it’s possible that investors have taken $3 billion out of gold at the same time they’ve moved $9 billion into bitcoin. With gold prices holding up, we see room for both in an investor’s portfolio.

Should bitcoin have a speculative blow-off top later this year, as Andrew Packer noted in yesterday’s Grey Swan Live! for paid-up members, the current ETF flows may be running the other way 12 months from now.

Elon Musk is dismantling the system — and tech investing expert Ian King says his next moves could spark a historic tech wealth surge. Even if he’s not a part of DOGE. Click here to see why Ian is predicting something he calls a “Dot-Gov Boom.”

P.S. We’ve recently released new research on today’s markets, and how President Trump is following through on a Great Reset of the U.S. economy. This first phase isn’t pretty – we call it the Great Fire – of which gold and bitcoin play a role for safety. Click here for more details on how it could play out.

The Money Printer Is Coming Back—And Trump Is Taking Over the Fed

December 9, 2025 • Lau Vegys

Trump and Powell are no buddies. They’ve been fighting over rate cuts all year—Trump demanding more, Powell holding back. Even after cutting twice, Trump called him “grossly incompetent” and said he’d “love to fire” him. The tension has been building for months.

And Trump now seems ready to install someone who shares his appetite for lower rates and easier money.

Trump has been dropping hints for weeks—saying on November 18, “I think I already know my choice,” and then doubling down last Sunday aboard Air Force One with, “I know who I am going to pick… we’ll be announcing it.”

He was referring to one Kevin Hassett, who—according to a recent Bloomberg report—has emerged as the overwhelming favorite to become the next Fed chair.

Waiting for Jerome

December 9, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

Here we sit — investors, analysts, retirees, accountants, even a few masochistic economists — gathered beneath the leafless monetary tree, rehearsing our lines as we wait for Jerome Powell to step onstage and tell us what the future means.

Spoiler: he can’t. But that does not stop us from waiting.

Tomorrow, he is expected to deliver the December rate cut. Polymarket odds sit at 96% for a dainty 25-point cut.

Trump, Navarro and Lutnick pine for 50 points.

And somewhere in the wings smiles Kevin Hassett — at 74% odds this morning,  the presumed Powell successor — watching the last few snowflakes fall before his cue arrives.

Deep Value Going Global in 2026

December 9, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

With U.S. stocks trading at about 24 times forward earnings, plans for capital growth have to go off without a hitch. Given the billions of dollars in commitments by AI companies, financing to the hilt on debt, the most realistic outcome is a hitch.

On a valuation basis, global markets will likely show better returns than U.S. stocks in 2026.

America leads the world in innovation. A U.S. tech stock will naturally fetch a higher price than, say, a German brewery. But value matters, too.

Pablo Hill: An Unmistakable Pattern in Copper

December 8, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

As copper flowed into the United States, LME inventories thinned and backwardation steepened. Higher U.S. pricing, tariff protection, and lower political risk made American warehouses the most attractive destination for metal. Each new shipment strengthened the spread.

The arbitrage, once triggered, became self-reinforcing. Traders were not participating in theory; they were responding to the physical incentives in front of them.

The United States had quietly become the marginal buyer of the world’s most important industrial metal. China, long the gravitational center of global copper demand, found itself on the outside.
