Gold has shown sustained strength, trading between $4,700 and $4,800 an ounce. While the metal is off its record highs, it has seen a significant recovery as investors seek a foothold in a volatile macro environment. Silver remains a standout performer, holding a 100% gain over the last year despite its recent consolidation near $75. In this Kitco News interview, Dr. Mark Skousen breaks down why he believes we have entered a permanent new price regime where silver is headed to $100 and will never trade below $50 again. We also dive into the breaking news regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Reports indicate Iran is effectively running a "tollbooth" through the strategic artery, with vessels allegedly paying in Yuan or cryptocurrencies for escorted passage. As a supply-side economist, Skousen explains why this shift away from the U.S. dollar signals the gradual end of the Petrodollar era.Plus, we discuss Skousen’s massive exclusive on the SpaceX confidential IPO filing. With a valuation target of $1.75 trillion, this listing could make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire and serve as the ultimate validation of the "Roaring 20s" productivity thesis.
