In this market update, Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group addresses the state of the US and global economies, focusing on long-term forecasts for gold and silver as well as the impact of a potential recession on prices. He discusses economic risks related to tariffs, immigration policy, government spending, and global political instability, all of which could continue to support investment demand for gold and silver.
Jeff also addresses foreign holdings of US Treasuries, which have actually increased year-over-year, contradicting claims that foreign governments are “dumping” bonds.
The presentation concludes with a look at the recent hype surrounding Saudi Arabia’s “silver purchases”. In reality, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, on behalf of a separate sovereign wealth fund, purchased shares in silver-related ETFs, not physical silver for reserves. Jeff explains why this distinction is important, why silver is not considered a currency reserve, and how Saudi investors have been active in the gold and silver markets for decades.
