4.22.26 - "Explosive" new phase for precious metals?

Gold last traded at $4,740 an ounce. Silver at $77.72 an ounce.

All of this is unfolding as nations around the world position themselves for what increasingly looks like an inevitable global financial shift. The question isn't whether momentum is building, it's whether you're positioned to benefit from it.

We're Going To See Another Major Eruption Higher In The Price Of Gold -King World News

Matthew Piepenburg, partner at VON GREYERZ: Below, we look soberly at the historical case of gold in the backdrop of current headlines and a global financial system nearing an eruption moment.

Although the catalysts of oil, war, bond dysfunction, and bloated stocks may seem modern and unique, the current case for gold is as timeless and constant as nature itself.

Volcanic Parallels...

In May of 1980, David Alexander Johnston, a volcanologist for the United States Geological Survey, was manning an observation post 10 kilometers from the percolating volcano of Mount St. Helens in the state of Washington.

On May 18th, he would be the first to report the volcano's sudden eruption.

Within minutes, however, Johnston would be killed by the volcano's "lateral blasts." His body was never recovered, and 56 others would also perish-along with 7,000 big game animals, 12 million fish, 200 homes, 300 kilometers of highway and 15 kilometers of railway.

Although monitoring volcanoes may seem entirely removed from monitoring economic shocks, there are volcanic rumblings beneath our global oil, credit, equity and currency markets which are about to erupt.
