Along the way, he explains the difference between investing in gold-backed ETFs and physical metal, and explains how the value of gold scrap is determined.

Gold: The Last Safe Haven Standing in This Bubble Economy

Last week was a wild roller coaster ride on Wall Street. When the dust settled and the cars came to a stop on Friday, gold was the last safe haven standing.

In this week’s Money Metals’ Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey examines gold’s performance and contrasts it with other havens, including the Treasuries and the U.S. dollar.

He also puts recent market and economic volatility driven by the trade war into a broader context—the bubble economy. Mike notes that the mainstream can’t even ignore the bubble anymore, but they still seem relatively clueless about what caused it and why it will ultimately pop.

Gold’s Relevance Skyrockets as More Policymakers Turn to Gold

Beyond Tariffs: A Story Within a Story

Tariffs and rumors of tariffs are driving the markets right now. But is there something bigger going on? Are tariffs just one plotline within a bigger story?

In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey puts the current market chaos into context, zooming in to focus on what he believes is a much bigger narrative.

He argues that the stock market is a big fat bubble just waiting for a pin. Tariffs might be that pin. But even if they’re not, there’s a pin out there. Mike explains how we got to this place, focusing on Federal Reserve monetary policy and the broader boom-bust business cycle using the Dow-to-Gold ratio as a map to the broader narrative.

My Little Fed Talk

According to the headlines, the Federal Reserve didn’t really do anything at its March meeting.

But it did.

True, the central bank held interest rates steady, however, it still made a very significant move.

It dramatically slowed balance sheet reduction.

What does this mean and why did the Fed do it now?

In this week’s Money Metals’ Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey explains the move and its potential impact, and puts it in the context of Fed monetary policy history. He also talks about what we should make of Jerome Powell’s insistence that the economy is "fine."

Dollar Doom? De-Dollarization, Gold and You

Is the dollar in trouble? Is it doomed?

People are starting to talk about a growing trend of "de-dollarization." But what does that mean? And why does it matter?

In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek memo, host Mike Maharrey talks about de-dollarization, why it’s happening, and the potential ramifications. He explains how the weaponization of the dollar has hastened de-dollarization and why even a small decline in the dollar’s global reserve status could be disastrous. He also discusses how the de-dollarization trend could drive gold much higher than most people realize.

We went from, "The economy is great," to "Uh-oh" in the blink of an eye!
