Sprott Money News

Is the Federal Reserve losing control of inflation, and could America's growing debt burden trigger another major rally in gold prices?

Join Craig Hemke for Sprott Money and Dr. E.J. Antoni, Chief Economist at The Heritage Foundation, as they examine the Federal Reserve's next interest rate decision, the US debt trajectory, rising Treasury yields, and what it all means for the price of gold and the broader precious metals market.

With US debt exceeding $40 trillion and inflation expectations rising, investors are asking critical questions: Can the Fed restore confidence? Is another gold rally coming? And should investors buy gold or buy silver to protect their wealth?

In this episode, Andrew Sleigh joins Kellen Ainey on the Ask Andrew Podcast to examine the growing risks surrounding the US dollar, gold and silver prices, global mining disruptions, and the future of physical precious metals.

As US national debt approaches $40 trillion, Andrew explains why a gold revaluation and potential hyperinflation could significantly affect gold and silver prices and the purchasing power of the US dollar. He also explains why physical gold and silver may outperform ETFs and mining stocks during a financial crisis, how diesel shortages and supply chain disruptions could threaten global silver production, and why rising industrial demand from electric vehicles, solar technology, and military manufacturing could further strain an already stretched silver market. Andrew also examines the disconnect between demand for physical precious metals and market prices, and why investors considering whether to buy gold or silver should understand the risks of waiting for a major market shift.

Peter Boockvar joins Craig Hemke for Sprott Money to examine the growing risks in global bond markets, rising government debt, Federal Reserve rate hikes, persistent inflation, and what these developments could mean for gold, silver, commodities, and investors in 2026.

As U.S. Treasury yields surge and concerns over government deficits intensify, Peter explains why investors are becoming increasingly reluctant to hold long-term sovereign debt, how Japan's bond market is influencing global interest rates, and why yield curve control could become a dangerous policy response. He also discusses the growing demand for hard assets, why gold and silver remain important components of portfolio diversification, how the AI investment boom could eventually lose momentum, and where investors may find opportunities beyond overcrowded technology stocks.

Craig Hemke for Sprott Money sits down with technical analyst Chris Vermeulen to review the latest gold and silver prices, Bitcoin, bonds, and the stock market outlook for October 2026. Vermeulen explains why gold remains vulnerable to further downside, with a possible move toward $3,600 if key support near $3,900 fails, while Bitcoin and major stock indexes continue showing stronger momentum.

They also discuss why precious metals are struggling to attract capital, why gold and silver investors should watch technical support and Fibonacci levels closely, and how shifting money flows could impact the next major move. For investors looking to buy gold, buy silver, follow the silver price, track the gold price, or understand the outlook for physical precious metals, this conversation highlights the key technical signals that could shape the rest of 2026.

In this Ask the Expert podcast, Andrew Sleigh speaks with Kai Hoffmann about gold and silver prices, central-bank policy, European inflation, national gold reserves, stablecoins, CBDCs, energy shortages, and the forces that could shape precious metals through the rest of 2026 and into 2027.

Kai explains why the current gold price remains attractive for mining companies, what rising rates could mean for gold prices, and why physical ownership still matters as financial systems become increasingly digital. The conversation also examines the price of silver, growing institutional interest in precious metals, geopolitical risks between the United States and China, and concerns surrounding diesel and energy supplies.
