Gold and silver have fallen. The U.S. dollar has strengthened. So what happened?
Many investors believed the long-term debasement trade was unstoppable. Governments continue running massive deficits, debt keeps growing, and the money supply has reached another record high. Yet despite those long-term trends, gold and silver have corrected while the dollar has rallied.
In this video, I explain why those ideas are not necessarily contradictory. We'll look at the difference between short-term market moves and long-term fundamentals, why the dollar can strengthen while still gradually losing purchasing power over time, and whether the underlying case for hard assets has actually changed.
Whether you're investing in gold, silver, or simply trying to better understand today's economy, I hope this provides some helpful perspective.
