The Trade War is Back and Inflation WILL Follow

EDITOR'S NOTES

The global economy is unraveling, and stock markets are feeling the pain. While equity markets slide, gold is soaring toward $3,000 an ounce—and it’s not done yet. Wall Street is overvalued, debt is spiraling out of control, and deglobalization is driving inflation higher. Central banks know what’s coming, which is why they’ve been stockpiling gold at record levels. The message is clear: Gold is the ultimate safe haven, and silver isn’t far behind. If you haven’t secured your position in precious metals yet, now is the time.

The Stock Market Is Crashing—But Gold Is Just Getting Started

It’s happening. The financial system is cracking under the weight of reckless debt, government overreach, and geopolitical chaos. Wall Street’s fantasy of endless growth is collapsing, and investors are waking up to reality.

Gold, however, is telling a different story. While the S&P 500 stumbles, gold prices are soaring past $2,980 an ounce, closing in on that psychological $3,000 mark. And according to Ryan McIntyre, Managing Partner at Sprott Inc., gold still isn’t overvalued—because demand for real assets is only growing.

“I would say that equity valuations are the highlight of overvaluation on many different metrics,” McIntyre told Kitco News. “When you look at what is happening in the world and you consider the potential reward versus the potential risks, to me, gold still stands out as the place to be.”

Translation? Stocks are bloated with debt, the global economy is teetering, and gold is the only thing standing between investors and financial ruin.

Government Debt Is the Real Crisis—And No One’s Coming to Save You

Let’s get real for a second. Governments are drowning in debt. The old playbook—bailing out banks, printing money, and kicking the can down the road—doesn’t work anymore. The system is too broken, the debt is too massive, and the cracks are showing.

McIntyre doesn’t mince words: “Governments can’t just swoop in and bail out the banks or the tech companies anymore, and that’s where the huge risks come in.”

This isn’t 2008. Back then, the government had room to maneuver. Today, they’re out of ammo. The result? A rush into safe-haven assets like gold and silver—because when the system fails, those who own real money will be the ones standing tall.

The Trade War Is Back—And Inflation Will Follow

On top of all this, we’re facing a new wave of economic conflict. Deglobalization is accelerating, trade wars are intensifying, and supply chains are breaking down. That means higher prices, more instability, and a world where critical resources—like copper and rare earth minerals—will go to the highest bidder.

And if you think inflation is bad now, just wait. As McIntyre points out, nations are stockpiling essential commodities, and prices are only going to rise.

But gold and silver are different. They aren’t just commodities—they’re monetary assets. Central banks know this, which is why they’ve been hoarding gold at record levels. Over the last three years, they’ve purchased over 1,000 tonnes annually—far beyond the 10-year average.

Why? Because they know trust in the global financial system is crumbling. And when the dust settles, gold will be the last currency standing.

How to Protect Yourself Now

If you think you’ve missed the boat on gold, think again. Yes, prices are pushing $3,000 an ounce, but there’s still time to get in. The key is buying in stages—getting a position now and adding more when prices dip.

McIntyre suggests a 75/25 strategy—75% in gold, 25% in silver. Why? Because silver has even more upside. It’s still criminally undervalued, and when gold moves, silver tends to follow with even bigger percentage gains.

The bottom line? The system is failing, the warning signs are flashing, and central banks are already making their moves. The only question left is—will you be ready?
