The Iran War's Oil Risk, China's Gold Stockpile, and the Push to De-Dollarize

In this appearance on The Alex Jones Show, Dr. Kirk Elliott discusses the economic fallout of the prolonged Iran conflict and the risk that a sustained closure of the Strait of Hormuz keeps oil prices elevated long enough to tip the global economy into a stagflationary recession. He walks through why growth is slowing while prices keep rising, and pushes back on recent Federal Reserve commentary suggesting inflation is nearly resolved, arguing that consumer borrowing costs are more likely to climb further. Dr. Kirk also points to accelerating central-bank gold purchases and China's much larger gold reserves relative to the United States as evidence of a broader shift away from dollar-denominated settlement, connecting this to Project mBridge, the digital payment infrastructure being built between the Bank for International Settlements and BRICS nations. He explains why KEPM focuses exclusively on physical bullion bars rather than coins or collectibles, citing liquidity, and outlines how IRA and 401(k) accounts can be rolled into physical gold and silver for investors considering diversification. He invites viewers to schedule a consultation with the KEPM team.
