The Financial Kill Switch Has Been Flipped – No More 'Buy the Dip' | E.B. Tucker
Kitco News: 4-7-2025
U.S. markets have erased nearly $10 trillion. Gold briefly slipped below $3,000 an ounce. The VIX spiked above 60. And now, with President Trump threatening 50% tariffs on China, the global financial system is showing signs of strain.
In this interview, E.B. Tucker, author of Why Gold? Why Now? and editor of The Tucker Letter, joins Jeremy Szafron, Anchor at Kitco News, to break down what he calls the triggering of the “Financial Kill Switch.”
Tucker explains why the era of “buy the dip” is over, how the system is being reprogrammed, and where capital should move before the next phase hits.
Key Topics:
– Why the “virtuous circle” of rising markets is dead
– What the Fed’s silence means as recession rumors grow
– Gold’s role as the only asset without a kill switch
– Why Poland, China, and Germany are moving fast on gold
– How the system is designed to keep most investors paralyzed
– What sectors could thrive under Trump’s new regime
– Why Tucker says “most people are fully exposed and don’t even know it”
