Gold’s Primary Trend Remains Intact

Gold is likely to trend higher in the months ahead. We expect the price to break $3,500.

It’s basic.

Whether you measure gold in dollars, Euro, yen, or rubles, those are fiat currencies. The supply of every one of them is growing faster than the new supply of gold coming to market.

Here’s a remarkable new fact:

Foreign central banks now hold more gold than U.S. Treasury assets.

In modern finance theory, only U.S. T-bills are considered risk-free assets.

Central banks are telling us they believe the real risk-free asset is gold.

Our Grey Swan research shows exactly how the dynamic between government finance and gold is playing out in real time.

Take a look.

P.S. Yesterday’s Grey Swan Live! with Andrew Zatlin was phenomenally lucid. If you’re a paid-up member and you missed it – that’s a mistake.

We examined a historic setup in the stock market:  seasonal weakness versus an ill-timed rate cut promise. The blow-off rally into 2026 is upon us. You’ll want to catch the full recoding, up on the Grey Swan site now.

P.P.S. Hopefully you’re also aware we’re hosting a free live tax seminar on how to keep more of your investment proceeds with IRS-compliant strategies today.

Register for the free event here:

August 29, at 1 p.m. ET. Registration is free and easy — reserve your spot here.

Gold’s Relative Strength

October 28, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

Relative strength, or RSI, provides investors with a quick glance as to how much the market likes or hates a given asset. The correction is a welcome event for hard asset investors.

With the metal back under $4,000, our thesis remains untouched.

In fact, the pullback  – while sharp and severe – makes  gold a less expensive insurance policy against geopolitical shocks and other Grey Swan events.

Networked Nationalism Rises

October 27, 2025 • John Robb

On the current trajectory, online and offline tribal warfare, with events that range from assassinations to riots to sabotage, is inevitable. Worse still, with both sides waging moral warfare (good versus evil), there is no middle ground, rendering compromise impossible.

To avoid this, the government could step in to crack down on illegal immigrants, serial criminality, and activist blue cells to slow the ramp in extrajudicial violence from the red tribe. This would reduce the chance we see a rapid escalation in tit for tat violence. However, to do this, it would need to designate many activist groups as terrorist entities and pursue them with the degree of vigor we saw with Islamic radicals after 9/11.

Economic Cockroaches

We’ve been watching private credit all year — the $3 trillion shadow banking machine that promises “nimble lending” but operates in the dark. Think of it as the modern heir to subprime mortgages: a system that works beautifully until it doesn’t.

According to Moody’s, U.S. commercial banks now hold $300 billion in loans to private credit firms, up from just $100 billion a decade ago. That’s more than 10% of total bank lending — and it means the “non-bank” lenders aren’t so non-bank after all.

When banks lend to private funds, which then lend to companies like First Brands, the risk just loops back into the same system regulators thought they’d insulated after 2008.
