Analysts See Possible Continued Decline of U.S. Dollar and Investment Impacts
Market analysts say the U.S. dollar may continue to decline in the coming months. This outlook is due to changes in monetary policy and shifts in global trade patterns. A weaker dollar could affect investment strategies outside the United States. Analysts also note that trends in central bank policy may influence how investors build their portfolios in the future..
‘Supergiant’ Gold Deposits Could Be Worth Over US$80 Billion
Two large gold deposits discovered in China may hold a collective mass of over 2,000 metric tons (2,200 US tons) of the precious material – the largest ever found within the country’s borders.
If confirmed by further geological surveys, the Wangu deposit in Hunan province and the Dadonggou deposit in Liaoning province could be worth billions, with the Wangu deposit alone estimated at over 600 billion yuan (US$83 billion).
These estimates come with significant caveats – something about not counting the golden eggs before the goose has laid them – not least that the Wangu valuation assumes the entire resource can be extracted and that current gold prices will hold, conditions rarely achieved in real-world mining.
Gold, for all its wonderful uses, isn’t hugely abundant in Earth’s upper layers. For each ton of crust material, there’s an estimated just 0.004 grams of the precious metal. Yet somehow, there are regions that contain “bonanza” abundances… (Continue to full article)
JP Morgan Expects Gold Above $5,200, Industry Risks Could Push It Higher
Gold’s record rally might be just taking a breather. JP Morgan Private Bank expects the precious metal to exceed $5,200 per ounce by the end of 2026 – about 20% higher than current levels.
Gold as part of “forex reserves is still relatively small as an overall percentage” for many central banks, especially in emerging markets, he told Bloomberg. “A lot of it will still go to dollars. So we’re not even really looking at gold as replacing dollars. It’s just an increasing share will go to gold,” he clarified.
JP Morgan’s call is similar to the Bank of America, which also set its price target at $5,000. The bank cited “unorthodox” U.S. fiscal policy and concerns about the stability of global fiat currencies. Its analysts expect a continued rise in investment demand, particularly from funds and retail investors seeking portfolio diversification…. (Continue to full article)
Man Discovers Gold Worth $800,000 Buried in His Garden
A man earlier this year discovered a gold treasure worth $800,000 while digging a swimming pool in his garden in France, local officials have said.
The man informed the local authorities after he made the discovery in May, and they allowed him to keep the gold as it did not come from an archeological site, the council in the eastern town of Neuville-sur-Saone said on Wednesday.
He found “five gold bars and many coins” buried in plastic bags, local newspaper Le Progres reported.
Police found the gold had been acquired legally and had been melted down some “15 or 20 years ago” at a nearby refinery… (Continue to full article)

The Price Of Silver Goes Parabolic As The Cost Of Living Spikes And Mass Layoffs Occur All Over The Nation
For a long time we were warned that when the financial system finally started melting down, the price of silver would explode. It appears that those that predicted this were quite prescient.
The yen carry trade is unwinding, more than a trillion dollars in cryptocurrency wealth has been wiped out, stocks and bonds have been extremely volatile, and the U.S. dollar has plummeted in value since the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, the price of silver has nearly doubled since January 1st…
In just 11 months, the price of silver has almost doubled. While gold stole the spotlight in 2025, it is silver that has gained more than the yellow metal. Compared to gold, silver has moved sharply higher over the last 12 months.
Over the last year, gold has increased by 59%, while silver has jumped nearly 87%. Even in 2025, so far gold has gained 60%, while silver is already up 94%.
As I post this article, silver is trading at $57.16 an ounce.
I never imagined that the price of silver would go so high in 2025, but here we are… (Continue to full article)

Gold prices spiked in October, reaching a new record high of over $4,300 per ounce. And while they’ve declined slightly since that point, the yellow metal is still selling at significantly higher prices than just a few years ago.
There’s a $38 trillion time bomb ticking in the heart of the American financial system, and in 2026, it’s going to detonate, not with the slow burn of a typical recession, but with the devastating speed of a controlled demolition.
Why are seasoned investors bidding farewell to gold and embracing silver?
Looking at the above title, the reader may conclude that he has begun to read an article that he might better save until he has a holiday weekend in which to read it. And there can be no doubt that volumes could be written describing the Fed and its inner-workings. For readers who do seek a comprehensive description of the Fed, I can recommend no source more highly than 
For more than 125 years, the United States had a gold-coin, silver-coin monetary system. No, it was not a paper-money system backed by gold, as so many mainstream commentators have been taught to believe. It was a system in which gold coins and silver coins were the official money of the American people.
Monthly payment of a 50-year mortgage of $500,000 would be only $91 lower than of a 30-year mortgage, but homeowners would get crushed by nearly $1 million in interest.
Total mortgage debt will increase as actual ownership in equity will go down. If homeownership does increase, it will be “ownership” of the sort where the homeowner has little to no actual equity.
Trump Promises $2k “Stimulus” Checks, but the Numbers Are Bogus
Do you remember how bad things were in 2008 and 2009? It was an economic nightmare that shook the entire world, and now it appears that the sequel is upon us. As you will see below, many economic numbers are either as bad as they have been since the Great Recession or they are even worse than they were during the Great Recession.
American companies slashed more than 150,000 jobs last month – the biggest October total in more than two decades.
Trump has vowed to give a $2,000 check to every American, thanks to the tariff revenue his administration has collected.
Do you remember when we were told that the “Reagan deficit” was going to destroy the economy? In the past two and one-third months ending October 15 the US national debt increased by $1 trillion. That is five times greater in a mere 71 days than David Stockman’s exaggerated “$200 billion annual deficits as far as the eye can see” that he falsely attributed to President Reagan’s tax rate reduction.
