Video News/In Focus with Jeremy Szafron

Global markets are undergoing a seismic shift as geopolitical tensions escalate, Treasury markets convulse, and gold prices soar to new all-time highs. With central banks aggressively buying gold and U.S. debt levels reaching record highs, investors are asking: is this the early stage of a deeper monetary realignment? In this exclusive Kitco News interview, Rich Checkan, President and COO of Asset Strategies International, joins Jeremy Szafron to break down the key drivers behind gold’s surge, the impact of tariffs on equities and precious metals, and why he says gold remains “dirt cheap” even at record highs. Checkan also explains why retail investors are still missing in action, what the gold/silver ratio is signaling, and why central banks continue to dump dollars for real assets.
