In this appearance on the And We Know show, Dr. Kirk Elliott reviews the volatility around the Iran conflict and explains why he believes it is temporary noise rather than a change in the fundamentals for gold and silver. He notes that oil prices could ease as China's demand shifts and OPEC nations raise production, which may reduce pressure on the Federal Reserve to hold rates high, and he frames a soft labor market and persistent inflation as reasons a rate cut could come. Turning to the futures market, he points out that trader positioning shows many expecting higher metals prices in the months ahead, while cautioning that day-to-day moves are unpredictable. He also walks through how physical metals can be held in IRAs and 401(k) rollovers, and, prompted by a large dealer's recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy, stresses buying low-premium bullion rather than collectible coins so it stays easy to sell. He invites viewers to schedule a consultation with the KEPM team.
