  President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations, including 35 non-United Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities, “that operate contrary to U.S. national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty.” America’s sovereignty was at risk under the past administration that partook in the Build Back […]

January 8, 2026 | China Loses Access to Venezuelan Oil

  China became Venezuela’s largest oil purchaser through oil-for-debt deals. Socialism failed, and the nation was desperate for funds, especially after being ostracized from Western trade. Beijing supplied Venezuela with credit in exchange for heavily discounted crude. China’s access to cheap oil from Venezuela came to a sudden halt after the US takeover. China was […]

January 7, 2026 | The Left’s Top Dark Money Network of Donors

  Arabella Advisors, the world’s most influential fund for left-wing politics, has rebranded but not dissipated. Arabella Advisors infamously created the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a dark money nonprofit that funneled hundreds of millions to persuade voters to support “progressive” causes, with the backing of George Soros, Bill Gates, Pierre Omidyar, and Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss.

January 6, 2026 | Jubilant Hopes For 2026

After three years of unusually high stock market gains, Wall Street equity analysts entered 2026 with record bullishness and no “sell” recommendations. After being burned on recession calls in 2022, no mainstream economist is calling for a recession in 2026, and no strategist is willing to forecast a flat or down market. Major asset classes […]

January 5, 2026 | The Perils of Price Discovery

January 5, 2026 | Venezuela vs. Canada: Why a Venezuelan Supply Surge Remains Unlikely Despite Regime Change

The US-led capture of Nicolás Maduro on January 3, 2026, and his removal to face charges in New York has sparked speculation about a rapid Venezuelan oil resurgence. Venezuela boasts the world’s largest proven reserves at 303 billion barrels – far exceeding Canada’s 163 billion (mostly oil sands). Yet reserves in the ground do not equal barrels at the […]

January 4, 2026 | So Much Is Riding on Silver!

The speculative frenzy in silver has provided welcome relief from AI claptrap, but will it last?  There are a hundred theories about why silver has come exuberantly to life after lagging gold for so long.   I’ve been puzzled myself, since my technical runes suggest that gold futures could make an important top at $5132, about […]

January 3, 2026 | Trading Desk Notes for January 3, 2026

Anything can happen I recorded my Moneytalks interview yesterday and told Mike that I had a gut feeling that events in 2026 would “rock our world,” and asked, “What will Donald Trump do to make sure the Republicans retain control of Congress in the mid-term elections that are less than nine months away?”   I woke up this morning […]

December 30, 2025 | November 2025 US Real Estate

  November home sales in the US paint a picture of stagnation and a frozen market. Home prices and mortgages have risen and demand has waned. This is a buyer’s market but conditions are not particularly favorable due to the cost of ownership. Sales rose 0.5% from November to October and were 1% lower on […]

December 29, 2025 | Why is Keynesian Economics Collapsing?

  In his 1936 book, ‘The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money,’ John Maynard Keynes argued that aggregate demand was too volatile to be stable and would lead to inflation or recession. His theory honed in on spending as a means of price control. Low aggregate demand, Keynes argues, would lead to high unemployment […]

December 26, 2025 | Precious Metals Rally: What’s Driving the Surge?

Gold, silver, and platinum are all climbing sharply as we head into the new year. This isn’t just speculation or short-term trading — it’s being driven by real demand and tight supply in physical markets. Gold: Gold prices are at record highs, but trading activity in futures markets is surprisingly low. That suggests limited supply rather […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I understand the previous Japanese government did to you with the letter asking to confirm $10 billion when it was $1 billion and they never explained how they could make such a mistake. Here in Japan, we are still struggling as you had warned would be the case with the collapse of the […]

December 25, 2025 | Merry Christmas!

  Merry Christmas to everyone around the world. Christmas is a reminder that history does not move in straight lines. It moves in cycles. Every civilization has faced moments where confidence was tested, institutions were stretched beyond their limits, and the public was told to trust systems that were clearly no longer working as intended.
