After a brief contraction in 2022 & 2023, the U.S. M2 money supply is once again surging—rising by $1.2 trillion in just over a year. This renewed expansion is a major force behind gold's bull market. Over the past year, gold has been on a powerful run—surging from around $2,100 to $3,400, a remarkable 62% gain. That’s especially impressive given that gold is not a speculative stock but a traditionally stable, conservative asset. While precious metals investors have plenty to celebrate, many may not fully grasp what’s driving this bull market. Several forces are at play—such as aggressive gold accumulation by emerging-market central banks and the relentless rise in global debt. Today, I want to spotlight one particularly important catalyst: the renewed surge in U.S. money supply growth, following a rare contraction in 2022 and 2023.

Incentives matter. Policymakers ignore this axiom at their own risk. The U.S. government’s weaponization of the dollar has made many countries wary of holding greenbacks, and we’ve seen an accelerating de-dollarization over the last few years. Now the U.S. government has weaponized trade. Many countries have responded by positioning themselves to minimize exposure to the dollar – and thus shield themselves from U.S. interference. To accomplish this, they have turned to gold. Gold has historically served as a safe place to hide during times of chaos and trouble. Now, countries are realizing that they can use the yellow metal as a haven from U.S. economic coercion.

Silver has cracked a key resistance level, and Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki called the white metal “the biggest bargain today.” Silver was up 5.3 percent on Monday, the biggest gain in eight months. And on Wednesday, the white metal surged above $36 an ounce in early trading. The last time we saw $36 silver was in 2011, when it was on its way to a record high near $50 an ounce. Over the last year, $35 has stood as a significant resistance level for silver.

(AUDIO AVAILABLE) Mike Maharrey opened this week’s Money Metals Midweek Memo with an anecdote about metal detecting—a light segue into a serious look at gold scarcity. He recounted the 1979 discovery of the Golden Beauty, a nearly 10-pound gold nugget found in Western Australia, now up for auction with an opening bid of $400,000. At current gold prices, the nugget’s melt value is closer to $481,800. But such discoveries are rare. In fact, experts say that even finding a one-ounce gold nugget is harder than finding a five-carat diamond. This underscores gold’s enduring scarcity—a defining feature that gives it monetary value, in stark contrast to fiat currencies that can be printed at will.

A Truly Stellar Day for Gold, Silver, and Mining Stocks... Gold, silver, and mining stocks just had a stellar day, significantly improving their technical setups. Gold jumped 2.8% while silver surged 5.38%, driven by a weaker U.S. dollar and escalating trade tensions with China. Over the weekend, President Trump accused China of violating a recent trade agreement and announced that U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum would increase this week. Let’s take a look at the charts. First, let’s take a look at gold via COMEX futures, which I follow closely due to its tendency to trade in clean $100 increments—creating strong support and resistance around round numbers like $3,000, $3,100, $3,200, and so on. Yesterday's surge pushed gold to a close just below the $3,400 level, which is an encouraging sign. However, I’d prefer to see a decisive close above $3,400 to confirm that further gains are likely on the horizon.

Gold mine output has been basically flat since 2018. Could this signal that we are at or near “peak gold?” Gold mines globally produced an estimated 3,661 tonnes of gold in 2024. It was a new record, but only 3 tonnes higher than the previous record set in 2018. After slowing for several years, gold mine output fell by 1 percent in 2019. Although that year marked the first absolute decline in gold production since 2008, it continued a general trend of diminishing mine output.

Central bank gold buying moderated in April, as the gold price hit record levels. Globally, central banks officially added a net 12 tonnes of gold to their reserves in April, according to the latest data compiled by the World Gold Council. This was 12 percent lower than March and below the 12-month average of 28 tonnes. Gold touched a record high of $3,500 an ounce in April. The World Gold Council said the slowdown in central bank purchases could be in part "a response to the rapid appreciation in the gold price since the start of the year."

(WATCH THIS) Acquiring and holding hard assets is one thing. Keeping them safe is quite another. A Southern California business owner -- and his customers -- just learned this the hard way. In recent days, thieves cleaned out a Simi Valley jewelry store, making off with millions of dollars in uninsured precious metals, jewelry, and cash in a brazen burglary. 5 Star Jewelry and Watch Repair is in a strip mall. The thieves broke into an adjacent candy/coffee shop through the roof, spray-painted security cameras in the store, and then spent several hours cutting through the concrete wall to access the jewelry store.
