Coming up in a moment, we will be joined by author and precious metals analyst Przemysław Radomski. Radomski says gold and silver have reacted unusually to the Iran–U.S. conflict because markets are focusing on inflation and higher interest rates, not safe-haven demand, and much more.

We've seen wild swings in the markets based on the latest headlines. How do we cut through the noise and make good investment decisions? In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains that you need a good recipe. A plan. A process. But to formulate a plan, you need good data. That's tricky when the primary source of data is the government. Mike breaks down the inflation of the pandemic era using a new AI tool to reveal just how sketchy that government data is. This underscores the fact that when we have a realistic view of the economy, all roads lead to gold and silver.
This week's interview is with Axel Merk, president of Merk Investments and a frequent commentator in the financial news media and here on our Money Metals podcast. Merk offers a different take on the recent gold correction, arguing that markets are treating the Iran conflict as a temporary shock rather than a lasting structural change.

They say history doesn't necessarily repeat, but it often rhymes. With that in mind, Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey looks back at the inflationary era of the 1960s and 1970s and finds some interesting parallels to today. Inflation didn't rise in a straight line back then. It came in three distinct waves. We've seen one wave in the currency inflationary cycle, and it appears we're setting up for a second. And there are other similarities between then and now - including the trajectory of interest rate policy and government spending. Mike also reveals just how badly this price inflation is impacting the American consumer, who is broke, stressed, and buried in debt.
Mike Maharrey dives into a range of topics with Kai Hoffmann, CEO of Soar Financial, as they discuss what's really happening in the precious metals market given the ongoing headwinds of the Iran war and much more.

What's wrong with this picture? The mainstream has built a bearish narrative around the gold and silver markets. According to this storyline, the Fed will have to keep interest rates higher due to inflationary pressure introduced by the war with Iran. That's negative for gold and silver, non-yielding assets. In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey points out the problems with this picture painted by mainstream pundits. He reveals two dynamics they seem to be missing and explains why the future of gold and silver may not be as bearish as advertised. He then proceeds to expose the deeper flaws with the current fiat money system.
Coming up we'll hear an interview between Chris Marcus of Arcadia Economics and Money Metals CEO Stefan Gleason. Don't miss this revealing interview as Stefan digs into some unanswered questions surrounding America's gold reserves at Fort Knox -- issues brought back into the news headlines by Donald Trump last week.

This week, Mike lets listeners run the show! It's an "Ask Mike Anything" episode where our intrepid host tackles questions asked by listeners. Here are the questions covered in this episode. At what point do we start trading in metals instead of paper currency? What does that timeline look like, and where are we currently on that timeline? How will the higher price of oil impact overall consumer price inflation? Higher oil prices cause higher prices in certain goods, but will it also lessen demand and prices in other areas? I heard an ad for a gold seller that said, "Some experts claim that gold could hit 6 thousand this year." I'm typically dubious of ads that say "some experts", rather than citing specific experts. 1 - Do you know of any reputable experts making this claim? 2 - Do you agree? 3 - Do you think the January peak is likely the highest we'll see this year? Why or why not? As SHTF scenarios become more likely, metals will be a life-saving alternative to fiat. Dealers put a high premium on rare collectible coins, whereas I only value the metal content of coins. Will these collectibles retain extra value when Mad Max hits town? Does AI feel like a bubble to you based on the huge valuations of these companies? Should people consider trading the gold/silver ratio? If so, when? And if the refiners get backed up, will it be even possible? Silver has been significantly outpacing gold. Do you see this continuing, and should we expect a rate cut with the new Fed Chair, even if inflation rises? Texas established a precious metals depository with the ability to conduct transactions within the depository. Can you give us an update on how that's progressing and if any other states have done something similar? What is a realistic way of making it normal to trade and pay for items in precious metals? Are there good precious metal-backed currencies that you like? Maybe talk a little bit about the lead time between cause and effect. Related to the old saying health is wealth, you managed to play goalie and do it well long after younger (and lesser) men have hung up their skates. How do you manage to do this? To be clear, no joking, I'd very much like to hear the answer.
