Matthew Piepenburg joins Darrell to explain why gold’s recent volatility has not changed the long-term thesis. He argues that rising debt, expanding liquidity, currency debasement and weakening trust in U.S. Treasuries continue to drive central banks toward physical gold. Matthew also discusses hidden liquidity inside the banking system, China’s growing influence over gold pricing, the debate around gold-backed U.S. debt, misleading inflation data and why investors may need to think of gold as monetary protection rather than a short-term trade.
