Across the centuries, gold has functioned as currency, ornament, reserve, and metaphor—embodying the human desire for permanence in a world of change. In an age of crypto assets, artificial intelligence, and central bank digital currencies, its persistence raises a question both ancient and moder...

In 2026, the digital euro is set to take a new turn. While the euro has steadily lost value in recent decades and European countries' budgets are sinking into the red, this digital euro would serve as a relay to maintain the stability of the European monetary system. At a price that no one can ye...

In an environment marked by persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions, and record government debt, the historical reflex would have been to seek refuge primarily in gold. However, it is equity ETFs and passive strategies that are capturing most of the inflows. Not out of deep conviction, but ou...

Today, China appears to be the absolute master of the silver market. The directives recently published by Beijing clearly show its intention to retake full control of this market and revalue the metal to levels many multiples above its initial price.

This week, we will look at how two Gold ratio charts are telegraphing a secular bull market that has a great deal of fuel left in the tank and in fact may just be getting started.

The rise in financial optimism comes at a time when the real economy is beginning to turn around. Historically, this type of dynamic precedes recessions. In this context, gold does not reflect a past crisis; it insures against a loss of future visibility.

As it does at the start of every year, Saxo Bank has unveiled its “Outrageous Predictions”: Beijing would launch an offshore yuan indexed to gold, which would thus become a trusted currency for trade and reserves, competing directly with the dollar.

With an increase of nearly 150% last year, silver is making a spectacular comeback. It remains to be seen whether this momentum will continue in 2026, as the white metal remains strategic.

Gold closed the year at $4,325 and Silver at $71.47. The significance of these annual closing values cannot be overstated — they are truly historic. And as we'll see in the following charts, the party has just begun!

With volatility no longer allowed to play its warning role, investors seek protection outside the system, independent of options and timing. Gold captures this long-term monetary mistrust, while silver, which is narrower and more sensitive to marginal flows, reacts more explosively.

The evolution of the gold price in 2026 remains conditioned by the prospect of lower key interest rates in the United States, changes in liquidity and demand for investment, jewelry, and central banks.

2026 will be a year of truth: either the system absorbs the shock and reconfigures itself, or it breaks down. And it is in this rupture, rather than in continuity, that the real rotation of capital will take place.

About a dozen years ago, an insider told me that when the “Reset” happened, no one would be able to bet on precious metals with leverage anymore. So, in the coming weeks, we can expect 100% margin calls on silver and platinum, and sooner or later, on gold.

Security must now be a central criterion for any gold holder, alongside price, purchase volume, portfolio allocation, intended holding period, and so on. Neglecting this aspect will become increasingly costly, as recent events starkly demonstrate.

We are facing an extremely rare situation: the VIX is close to its lowest level in a year, around 14, while the price of gold is reaching historic highs. Under normal circumstances, this coexistence does not exist.

Ray Dalio: "It seems to me indisputably true that gold is a money and it is the money that is least at risk of being devalued and/or confiscated. You should think of gold as being a fundamental money that you should own at least some of."

Gold continues to trade at high levels, but it is silver that is attracting the most attention. Day after day, the silver price is reaching new highs, as if it were reflecting a latent tension and a growing need for protection in the face of an increasingly administered financial system.

When gold enters a phase of rapid acceleration, silver – historically more volatile and reactive – will logically have to rise even faster. And if we use the Fibonacci sequence, employed by many technical analysts to identify major market levels, the following theoretical levels would be: $34,......

The bull market in gold that began 25 years ago appears to have more legs, and its most impulsive price action might just be ahead of us.

Silver has just crossed a symbolic threshold – more than $60 to $61 per ounce for the first time in history – after jumping 100 to 110% since the beginning of 2025. This movement is spectacular, but it does not necessarily mark the end of the story.
