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. |

The powers that be may have found a new scapegoat for price inflation — tariffs.
But while tariffs will raise some prices, they don’t cause "inflation" in the true sense of the word. Governments and their central banks do that, but they don’t want you to know it.
In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains why tariffs won’t cause inflation (as properly defined) and spotlights the true cause of our inflationary woes – fiat money systems. He goes on to explain how this answers the question, "Why do I want gold and silver?"
Because it’s sound money in a world of fiat money chaos.

Decision 2024 is in its final stages. So, who is the winner?
Money Metals’ Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey says that no matter who ends up occupying the White House next year (At this point it looks like Trump), gold and silver are already the big winners.
In this episode of the podcast, Mike argues that the practical impact of the presidential election will be less significant than many people imagine because the system itself is the problem as much as the people running it. That means a lot of things will continue on the same trajectory. He goes on to highlight gold and silver as the big winners in 2024 using some of the third quarter data. You might be surprised to learn that silver and gold are the best-performing assets so far this year.
