The end of an era and a wake-up call as gold and silver mining stocks see a historic upside breakout.

Due to travel there will be no audio interviews this week. But KWN will be back next week with the HUI hitting new 52 week highs and the XAU Gold Mining Index hitting a new all-time high.

The End Of An Era: A Wake-Up Call
August 22 (King World News) – Holger Zschaepitz:  Rarely has the end of an era been signaled more gracefully than by Jerome Powell. “The Kansas City Fed was wise to bring Chair Volcker to this national park more than 40 years ago, and I am proud to be part of that tradition,” Powell said, before stepping off the stage. Now, the Fed stands at a turning point. Donald Trump is poised to bring it under political curatorship, paving the way for a return to the 1970s; an era of inflation, intervention, and eroded monetary credibility.

For investors, this moment is a wake-up call. In an age of money printing and fiscal dominance, the only safe harbor lies in real assets: equities, real estate, gold, and, yes, even crypto. Because when the value of money becomes negotiable, tangible value is the ultimate refuge.

Long Term US Interest Rates Headed Higher
Peter Schiff:  Sell today’s Treasury rally. Powell’s pivot is bearish for bonds, as it wil lead to a weaker dollar and higher inflation. As a result, demand for Treasuries will fall just as supply rises thanks to soaring budget deficits. To control long-term rates, the Fed will revert to QE.

Monetary Madness
Charlie Bilello:  1. Stocks: all-time high

2. Home Prices: all-time high

3. Bitcoin: all-time high

4. Gold: all-time high

5. Money Supply: all-time high

6. National Debt: all-time high

7. CPI Inflation: 4% per year since Jan 2020, 2x the Fed’s “target”

8. Fed: cutting interest rates next month

GOLD MINERS: This Happened Today
Otavio Costa:  This happened today.

Gold miners just broke out relative to gold prices.

In many ways, this cycle is only just beginning in my view.

Due to travel there will be no audio interviews this week. But KWN will be back next week with the HUI hitting new 52 week highs and the XAU Gold Mining Index hitting a new all-time high.
