GOLD, The Reset, and What Really Comes Next

GOLD, The Reset, and What Really Comes Next

Taylor Kenny:  6-18-2026

Join Taylor LIVE for a direct conversation and Q&A on debt, the coming Reset, and why physical gold and silver remain critical wealth preservation tools.

In a recent live broadcast from ITM Trading’s new studio in Phoenix, Arizona, host Taylor Kenney provided a deep dive into the shifting landscape of global finance.

 As the world grapples with record-breaking debt levels and fluctuating currency values, Kenney’s discussion highlighted a critical trend: the systemic move away from the US dollar and the strategic accumulation of physical gold by the world’s most powerful financial institutions.

A primary focus of the session was the latest findings from the World Gold Council’s Central Bank Gold Survey. The data paints a clear picture of the future: an overwhelming majority of central banks intend to increase their gold reserves over the next five years. This isn’t merely a minor adjustment in portfolio management; it represents a fundamental pivot in global strategy.

According to Kenney, these institutions are actively seeking to reduce their exposure to dollar-denominated assets. By swapping “paper” promises for tangible wealth, central banks are signaling a lack of long-term confidence in the current fiat system, choosing instead the historical stability and lack of counterparty risk that only gold provides.

The term “monetary reset” often sounds like a sudden, overnight catastrophe, but Kenney clarifies that it is both a process and an event. The “process” is currently underway, fueled by unsustainable levels of global debt and a dwindling trust in fiat currencies that have lost significant purchasing power over the decades.

The “event” occurs when the system can no longer sustain the weight of its own debt, leading to a structural revaluation of assets.

 Kenney points to historical precedents where currencies failed due to over-expansion and devalued reserves. For those holding only dollar-denominated assets, the risks are mounting as the world prepares for a new financial architecture.

One of the most compelling analogies used in the discussion compared the decline of the US dollar to the fall of cable TV. Just as streaming platforms replaced traditional cable through convenience and innovation, new payment infrastructures are challenging the dollar’s hegemony.

Kenney highlighted the efforts of China and other BRICS nations to develop alternative payment systems and digital currencies. These innovations are designed to bypass traditional Western financial channels, allowing nations to trade more efficiently and independently. This shift suggests that the dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency is no longer guaranteed, as the “convenience” of the dollar is being replaced by localized, digital-first alternatives.

A significant portion of the live session addressed the tug-of-war between Western and Eastern markets. While Western markets are often dominated by “paper gold”—contracts and ETFs that trade on speculation—the East is focused on the acquisition of physical bullion.

Kenney explained that as physical demand increases globally, particularly from central banks and Eastern consumers, it becomes increasingly difficult for paper markets to manipulate the price of gold. When the physical supply is tied up in private and institutional vaults, the “paper” price must eventually reconcile with the reality of physical scarcity. This makes the ownership of tangible, physical assets more vital than ever for individual investors.

During the Q&A segment, Taylor Kenney addressed practical concerns regarding the use of silver and gold in daily life, the possibility of a gold revaluation in the United States, and the socio-economic impacts of a currency reset. The overarching message was one of preparation and proactive management.

Kenney stressed that while the global macro-environment may feel out of the average person’s control, the choice of which assets to hold is not.

By moving away from a total reliance on digital digits and fiat currency and moving toward physical, tangible assets, individuals can better protect their wealth from the volatility of a resetting global economy.

Could This Be the Biggest Gold Announcement in Decades?

Could This Be the Biggest Gold Announcement in Decades?

Andy Schectman & Michelle Makori:  6-16-2026

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO, Miles Franklin Precious Metals, to discuss a theory that is gaining traction among gold investors ahead of July 4th: could the Trump administration unveil a major gold-related initiative that reshapes the global monetary system?

Schectman explains why he believes there is a growing possibility that gold-backed U.S. Treasury instruments could emerge as part of a broader strategy to address America’s debt burden, restore manufacturing competitiveness, and navigate the accelerating shift toward a multipolar financial system.

The conversation explores the implications of Kevin Warsh’s appointment as Fed Chair, the hiring of Project 2025 contributor Paul Winfree, the passage of the GENIUS Act, China’s continued gold accumulation, the rollout of mBridge, and the growing challenge to the dollar-centric financial order.

Why a Gold Backed System is the Only Option

Why a Gold Backed System is the Only Option

VRIC Media:  6-15-2026

The recent dialogue between Darrell Thomas and economic analyst Melody Wright at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) offers a sobering look at the current macroeconomic climate.

As the global economy faces a complex web of challenges, Wright provides a detailed examination of why current market behavior seems disconnected from the realities faced by many households and industries.

While major stock indices remain near record levels, sectors such as mining and precious metals have faced significant headwinds, painting a picture of an economy that is struggling under the weight of uneven pressures.

A central theme of the discussion is the precarious state of the bond market and its direct impact on housing. Wright highlights how climbing 10-year Treasury yields are driving mortgage rates to levels that effectively freeze the real estate market.

This stagnation is not merely a product of high interest rates; it is fueled by a combination of overbuilding, speculative investment, and a growing skepticism regarding Federal Reserve policy. Wright argues that the market is beginning to price in the possibility of structural shifts or debt restructuring, as the burden of national debt interest costs continues to mount.

The conversation further draws uncomfortable parallels between today’s environment and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. While current government interventions differ from the market-driven dynamics of the past, the underlying stress in credit markets and rising mortgage delinquency rates remain clear warning signs.

Wright points out that the housing market is currently sustained by a thin sliver of activity, with total sales volumes plummeting even as prices remain stubbornly high. Compounding these issues are deeper demographic shifts—the “silver tsunami” of an aging population, declining birth rates, and changing household formations—which add long-term strain to the labor supply and social safety nets.

Beyond residential real estate, Wright identifies commercial property as another potential epicenter for financial instability. With a “hard maturity wall” of loans coming due, the combination of high vacancies and default risks creates a scenario that could trigger widespread urban economic distress.

The shadow lending system, which often obscure the true level of risk in these sectors, only adds to the potential volatility of the situation.

Given these converging threats, Wright advocates for a defensive approach to personal finance. Her advice centers on the importance of debt reduction, maintaining financial resilience, and preparing for possible supply chain disruptions through increased self-sufficiency.

For those looking to protect their assets, she underscores the value of prudent investments, including precious metals like gold, as a hedge against systemic uncertainty.

Gold Telegraph: Things Always Fall into Place

Gold Telegraph: Things Always Fall into Place

6-15-2026

One of the great ironies of modern history.

President Richard Nixon told Judy Shelton: “I know very little about monetary policy.”

Think about that. The same president who closed the gold window in 1971 made one of the most consequential monetary decisions in human history. A decision that ended Bretton Woods, severed the dollar’s link to gold, and reshaped the global financial system. More than 50 years later, the world is still living with the consequences.

Nothing has changed. Gold is moving back into the centre of the monetary system. The majority follow the day-to-day price, which is fine. This global debt problem is a slow-moving train that needs to be addressed, and I bet that it will largely be dealt with through debasement…

The United States now carries over $39 trillion in debt, faces trillions in long-term liabilities, and depends on a monetary system that requires ever-growing debt and liquidity to function. And many are worried about gold? But what do I know… Numbers on numbers.

Gold Becomes Largest Central Bank Reserve on Earth, International Monetary System Built

Gold Becomes Largest Central Bank Reserve on Earth, International Monetary System Built

And We Know:  6-6-2026

The global economic environment is currently undergoing a significant transformation, marked by shifting geopolitical dynamics and evolving monetary policies.

A recent analysis from And We Know Official delves into these complexities, offering a detailed look at how artificial intelligence, stock market trends, and a renewed focus on precious metals are shaping the future of global finance.

For investors and observers alike, understanding these interconnected threads is essential for navigating the current landscape.

A primary concern highlighted in the discussion is the current state of the stock market, which bears a striking resemblance to the tech-heavy climate of the late 1990s. The market’s current momentum is largely driven by a narrow segment of companies involved in artificial intelligence.

While innovation is a powerful engine for growth, this hyper-concentration creates vulnerability. With high interest rates and wage stagnation, the broader economy faces risks that could lead to volatility, especially if the AI sector experiences a correction. The integration of AI into the workforce also signals a fundamental change in how labor and production function, adding another layer of uncertainty to traditional economic models.

As the international monetary system navigates challenges, there has been a notable pivot among central banks toward physical gold.

For years, the global banking system relied heavily on sovereign debt and fiat currencies as collateral. However, as concerns regarding inflation and currency devaluation persist, gold has reclaimed its status as a foundational asset.

By increasing their reserves, central banks are signaling a preference for “real money”—tangible assets that provide stability in ways that paper currency cannot. This transition reflects a broader structural adjustment aimed at mitigating the risks associated with modern fiat systems.

The landscape is further complicated by the rise of digital assets and stablecoins. With upcoming regulatory frameworks like the Clarity Act on the horizon, the intersection of blockchain technology and traditional banking is under intense scrutiny.

Concerns have been raised regarding the systemic risks posed by digital assets that lack the robust protections of traditional financial institutions. As noted by industry leaders, the integration of these technologies into the broader economy brings potential for disruption and liquidity concerns, highlighting the fragility of currently established financial infrastructures.

Amidst these global transformations, the discussion emphasizes the importance of risk management and long-term security. With systemic uncertainty on the rise, precious metals like gold and silver are presented as a strategic buffer.

 Unlike many other assets, these physical commodities carry zero counterparty risk, making them a consistent choice for those looking to preserve value during periods of turbulence. By observing the deliberate actions of central banks and prioritizing tangible assets, individuals can better position themselves against the potential shocks of a changing world.

Zang International:  6-7-2026

Kenneth Mraz examines the events of 1933 that fundamentally changed America's monetary system.

 He explains the connection between Executive Order 6102, which forced Americans to surrender their gold, and House Joint Resolution 192, which removed gold clauses from contracts and altered how debts could be settled.

 He explores the difference between payment and discharge, why purchasing power continues to decline, and how today's debt-based monetary system may trace its roots back to these historic changes.

Europe Just Bragged About Losing to Gold

Europe Just Bragged About Losing to Gold

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) June 4, 2026

When the euro launched on January 1, 1999, it was sold as the future. It would be a single currency to knit Europe together — to wipe out the exchange-rate friction between member states, complete the continent's single market, and bind a dozen squabbling nations into one economic bloc with one money.

And in the grander ambitions of its architects, it was meant to do something more: to grow up into a true global currency, the first serious rival the US dollar had faced since World War II.

Last week, the European Central Bank published its 2025 report card, with ECB President Christine Lagarde celebrating “an opening for the euro to enhance its global appeal.”

The report bragged that the euro remains the second most used currency in the world, as well as the second most held in reserve, behind only the dollar.

The key word is “currency.”

Because in reality, 2025 was the year that gold took the top spot, making up 27% of global reserves held by governments and central banks. That pushed US Treasuries into second place with 22%, and the euro into third, making up 15% of global reserves.

A metal that pays no interest and earns no yield is now the biggest slice of global reserves, up from just 20% a year earlier.

The world is, in fact, trying to diversify away from the dollar. Central banks have spent years quietly trimming their dollar exposure, looking for somewhere safer to park their national savings.

But they are not choosing euros.

Then why, the ECB may counter, was 2025 a record year for international borrowing in euros?

Because there is more debt in everything than ever — global debt keeps smashing new highs, so a record pile of euro IOUs is less an achievement than a symptom of the times.

But to give credit where it's due, the euro is genuinely in first place in one market, according to Lagarde: "The euro became the leading currency in the green and sustainable international bond market."

That's the debt Europe sells to bankroll the very net-zero crusade that gutted its own economy. So the euro's crowning achievement of 2025 was becoming the world champion at borrowing money to make itself poorer.

If you ever needed one sentence to explain why nobody wants this currency, there it is.

Because leading the world in the things that make you poorer is the entire European model. Across the continent, governments spent two decades waging war on their own cheap energy in the name of net zero — turning their backs on nuclear power that supplied a third of Europe's electricity in 1990 and barely 15% today.

They saddled themselves with some of the highest power prices in the developed world and watched their industry pack up and leave. They threw open their borders, then aimed their police and courts at the citizens who objected.

The result is a continent so hollowed out that Mississippi, the poorest state in America, now produces more wealth per person than France or Italy.

But sure, this is the euro’s moment...

Meanwhile, central banks added roughly 850 tonnes of physical gold in 2025, a slight step down from the record-shattering pace of the prior two years, but bought at the highest prices in human history.

Poland led the gold-buying pack last year, followed by China, Turkey, and India.

But for a stretch of 2025, the single biggest gold buyer on the planet wasn't a country at all — it was Tether, the company behind the world's biggest dollar-backed stablecoin.

In the third quarter alone it bought more gold than any central bank on earth, and by the end of January it was sitting on roughly 148 tonnes — nearly 4.8 million ounces, worth about $22 billion — enough to rank among the top 30 gold holders in the world, ahead of the likes of Australia and South Korea.

This is exactly why the gold story is far from over.

The extra gold central banks have bought since 2022 laid the foundation for a price that has nearly tripled since — yet even that represents only a modest reallocation out of US dollars.

So what happens when they move even another 5% of their $10 trillion in reserves into gold?

With no single currency able to replace the dollar, and the reasons to diversify only growing, gold looks set to keep climbing as the world's largest reserve asset.

To your freedom,   James Hickman   Co-Founder, Schiff Sovereign LLC

 P.S. Everyone from central banks to a stablecoin giant is racing into gold — which is why it's trading near record highs. We think owning the companies that produce it beats buying bullion at the top.

That's the whole idea behind Strategic Assets, Schiff Sovereign's monthly investment research. We hunt for profitable real-asset businesses with clean balance sheets, real catalysts, and a low multiple of free cash flow.

And it's working. We've seen it multiply the value of several precious metals companies, with others still in the buy range today. The same setup is now lining up well beyond the metals — in energy and other real assets — as nations around the world scramble to secure the critical resources a fragmenting world runs on.

Would $300 Silver Crush The Retail Industry? | Andy Schectman

Would $300 Silver Crush The Retail Industry? | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  6-3-2026

Andy Schectman explains that the recent silver selloff was driven by a combination of sharply higher margin requirements, ETF rebalancing, and forced selling tied to primary distributor allocations, creating a cascading liquidity event rather than a true breakdown in fundamentals.

He argues that this overlap of structural pressures led to more selling than buying in the short term, which overwhelmed bids and pushed prices lower.

In contrast, he notes that prior strong upside moves saw the opposite dynamic, with intense buying pressure causing premiums to surge and physical supply to tighten dramatically.

 Looking forward, he says that a potential move toward $300 to $500 silver would likely bring far greater public participation and stronger hands into the market, reducing the kind of fragile selling pressure seen in earlier cycles.

In his view, that kind of environment would still strain the system but would be more fluid and balanced demand driven, rather than collapsing under forced unbalanced liquidation.
