FOMC Minutes Tomorrow. Jackson Hole in Nine Days. Here Is What Gold Needs From Both.

Gold is at $4,390 and silver at $64.74 as five forces hit the market at once. The Iran ceasefire expired. FOMC minutes drop tomorrow. Warsh speaks at Jackson Hole in nine days.

Why Is Silver Outperforming Gold Today? The Dual-Engine Mechanism Explained.

Silver is up 3.65% today while gold rises 1.04%. The gold-silver ratio has compressed to 66.55. Here is the specific mechanism behind the gap — silver’s dual monetary and industrial demand engines — and why Wednesday’s CPI report matters more for silver than it does for gold.

IMF Says Treasuries Aren’t Safe Anymore. Gold Noticed First. 

The IMF just confirmed what gold has been pricing in for months — Treasuries are losing their safe-haven premium. Meanwhile, the Fed has gone silent, gold miners are sitting on record profits and refusing to build, Asia is buying every ounce the US sells, and silver’s deficit keeps widening despite its biggest customer using less of it.
