In this appearance on the Flyover Conservatives podcast, Dr. Kirk Elliott discusses why several recent developments may mark a turning point for gold and silver. He explains that oil prices have eased as OPEC nations and Iran increase production while a key buyer, China, shifts toward other energy sources, which in turn takes pressure off inflation. With inflation cooling, he notes that market expectations for another Federal Reserve rate hike this year have fallen sharply, a backdrop that has historically been supportive for precious metals. He also reviews a softening labor market, pointing out that a recent jobs report looked weaker once temporary World Cup hiring is set aside, and that wage growth is still not keeping pace with inflation. Taken together, he sees a case for a resumption of the longer-term uptrend in gold and silver that paused during the Iran conflict, and frames metals as assets investors may want to consider. He invites viewers to schedule a consultation with the KEPM team.
