When it reverses it should go crazy again. I don't know when, but my Spidey sense says the summer should be hot?
 

Gold and Silver Take Beating as Arab Gulf States Sell Their Assets to Raise Money​

The Silver Academy
Mar 19, 2026
BREAKING: Gold prices are plunging as major Arab Gulf states dump their gold holdings to raise urgently needed cash, triggering a fast and disorderly selloff in global markets. What began as targeted liquidations to plug budget gaps has now morphed into a broader liquidation wave, with sovereign funds and state-linked entities reportedly offloading bullion and gold-linked assets at scale.


Silver follows gold. In good times it lags higher; in bad events like this, it gets hit harder as liquidity vanishes.

But that’s temporary.

Once the panic phase passes and the real supply‑demand squeeze resumes, collapsing economies will again reach for safe havens. Gold and silver haven’t changed; they’re still finite, monetary metals sitting on the periodic table of elements, not someone’s liability, and that reality will reassert itself.

The metals beatdown continues... there's only so much volatility the systems will take before the whole lot collapses into a heap.
 
^^^ What Goldhedge quoted. When big players need to make big plays, we can expect those plays to be big.
I think those plays are almost getting near the bottom prices.

Place your bets, gentlemen!

Ummm, the big plays and volatility are what will destroy the casino. One upswing and no physical to deliver will blow out the basement car park.

And that's coming, fast.
 
Eventially the prices of gold and silver will be fixed like it was for decades. Speculation in those commodities will be gone. Financialization of many assets with be replaced with a CBDC.
 
Gas prices weren't high enough so a refinery in Tx exploded. One of the largest in the US is what I hear. I'm sure it's nothing to do with the war but man I bet Iran is saying karma is a bitch right now.
 
Got nuthin to do with Karma. Bastards decided now is time for the price explosion / rug pull. Time to restrict the peasants access to stuff and milk them dry.

Heard another podcast from the 70's inflation, guy talked about how they shut down pipelines in the West while New York was in crisis... Government orders ya know.
 
Posted it over there might as well post it here for Martin Armstrong fans. This is his computer not his personal thoughts.

Gold down into the week of April 13th. Targets 4190 3845 and possibly as low as 2800. I would imagine Silver goes along with Gold as well as the miners. April 8th 2025 marked the low of many major mining shares. AG HL CDE were 5 dollar stocks at that time.

Unfortunately, this is actually not an uncommon event. Some explosions are bigger than others, but America's refineries are old and they are constantly battling the risk/reward question on shutting the plant down to do maintenance projects. Sometimes, they push the envelope too far.
 
Nah, this time they took that 2x and weren't happy. They resold the same shares to like 3 different investors, then stole any proceeds overnight and scalped some futures. Then they leveraged it up another 4x off the books to just keep any profits.

So much for safe haven and protection from inflation.

Never said it was a safe haven from bankers and market manipulations. The not-so-funny thing is the volatility we are experiencing with PMs is exactly what many other nations are experiencing with their currencies.

Since you now know what pain is, thank you sir may I have another.
