  Nearly 70% of Exchange Copper Is Now in America: Here’s Why | Ole Hansen

  Aug 18, 202643 min

  Gold's path to $5,000 is open as a $40T debt burden hits bonds, while 70% of exchange copper risks being stranded in the U.S. Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, joins Jeremy Szafron to break down the severe dislocations happening across physical metals and sovereign debt. Hansen explains why gold is rallying despite 30-year Treasury yields sitting at multi-year highs, arguing that investors are demanding a premium to hold long-term government paper. In the base metals market, Hansen breaks down the massive $535 LME copper backwardation, warning that tech hyperscalers building AI data centers are now competing directly with governments for capital. He also provides an updated outlook on silver's structural deficit, mining supply constraints, and exact portfolio allocation targets for hard assets.

  The $6,000 Gold Call Is Dead, Here's His New Target | Gary Wagner

  Aug 17, 202632 min

  Gold's $6,000 target is off the table and Kitco technical analyst Gary Wagner has put a new number in its place. Wagner, editor of TheGoldForecast.com, lowered his own $6,000 call on this show a month ago. He returns with $5,000 to $5,100 on the high side before the end of the year, and says the correction that took gold under $4,000 is finished. "We definitely hit a bottom," Wagner tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron, pointing to a six week base that broke out in the first week of August. "And it hasn't looked back since." Wagner maps the gold price levels that decide it from here. He puts major support at $4,200, short term support around $4,350, and Fibonacci resistance at $4,644, with $4,500 as the next challenge on the way up. On the pattern itself, Wagner says the chart set up as a descending top with a flat bottom, a formation that usually breaks lower inside a downtrend. It broke higher instead, and in his words it did so "really with fury." He also flags a signal that has stopped working after four decades of reading these markets. "The one that used to work that doesn't seem to have the same punch is wars or geopolitical uncertainty," Wagner says. "The US went to war with Iran and gold went down, silver went down." On the Fed, Wagner is anticipating a quarter point rate hike in September and possibly half a point in total by year end, and argues that is not as hawkish as the market has been treating it heading into Jackson Hole. Asked how he is positioned, Wagner says he has spent roughly the last ten months accumulating physical metal for storage rather than trading it, having bought at $1,500 and again at $2,000 and held both. He has traded futures since 1990. Silver's outperformance, the gold to silver ratio, summer liquidity in the gold market, moving averages, rising long yields and what a hawkish surprise would do to $4,500 gold are all covered.

  The Fed Just Quietly Backstopped Japan, and Gold Noticed | This Week In Focus

  Aug 11, 202630 min

  Gold ran about $300 in days, and copper set an all-time record in New York, and neither move had much to do with anyone wanting more of them. This week the Fed quietly opened a window letting Japan borrow dollars against the American debt it already owns, Congo banned copper and cobalt exports, a quarter of the world's sulfuric acid supply vanished, and global debt hit a record $353 trillion. From Kitco News, Jeremy Szafron breaks down the week with three guests who don't agree on much: chart trader Florian Grummes, who tore up his cash position and called it "back to money printing"; economic historian Phillip Magness on why a trillion dollars of U.S. gold still sits on the books at $42 an ounce; and Don Durrett, who owns 168 mining companies and flatly refused to name his top three. Recorded August 6, 2026. Disclaimer: The videos are not intended to provide trading advice, and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Kitco Metals Inc.

  The Gold Selloff Wasn't The Problem; It Was The Opportunity | Don Durrett

  Aug 11, 202647 min

  Don Durrett bought gold and silver miners the whole way down, and he says the last six months were the opportunity, not the problem. But he thinks one more dip is coming before the real move begins. Speaking with Kitco News, the GoldStockData.com founder, who tracks roughly 870 companies and owns 168 of them, said the first leg of this bull market ran from August 2024 to January's peak of $5,600 gold and $120 silver. He believes "leg two" hasn't started yet, puts the odds of one more correction at "about 50/50," and targets a dip near $3,750 before November, meaning buyers at today's levels "could be catching a falling knife." He calls this "the trade of a lifetime," comparing his conviction to Michael Burry's Big Short bet: a near certainty, in his view, where the only real question is timing. Then comes the upside that keeps him buying. At his conservative targets of $7,000 gold and $200 silver, Durrett says the major gold miners print roughly five times their money and the top silver names six to eight times, with the best developers offering far more. For most people, though, he argues an ETF is the smarter play, potentially a four or five-bagger without the stock-picking, because the miners' volatility, gold fell 29% and silver 55% from the January highs, is more than most investors can stomach. He also breaks down his allocation framework, why he owns no copper, and why "not a single silver developer has been acquired" even with silver above $50. Recorded August 6, 2026.

  Gold Breakout Was the Signal to Buy Again | Florian Grummes

  Aug 5, 202630 min

  Florian Grummes says gold's break above 4,200 was the signal he had been waiting for, and he has moved from 50% invested to 80% invested on the back of it. The founder of Midas Touch Consulting tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron that the trigger was not the metal itself but the Federal Reserve's new facility accepting Japanese collateral, which he calls "back to money printing" and compares in direction to the swap lines used during the Credit Suisse rescue. He is buying juniors rather than producers, and he names two he owns. His screen is counterintuitive. He wants a stock that has already outperformed the metal, because that is the proof it will move when gold moves. He expects a wave of mining M&A over the next one to three years as producers redeploy the cash they are generating at these prices. On price he sees 4,500 gold this summer and 70 dollar silver, and he says plainly that he does not expect a new all-time high this year. For anyone sitting on a 30 to 60 percent drawdown in juniors, his advice is to average down. He also explains why he is watching Hong Kong and Shanghai more closely than Singapore, and what 25 years of watching the tape tells him about why the metals so often fade in the Western session and rally in Asia.
