Dr. Marc Faber of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report argues that the world remains in a long-term commodity and interest-rate upcycle, driven in part by persistent money printing, war, and declining purchasing power. He explains why gold should continue to play a role in preserving wealth, why platinum and silver may still be relatively attractive, and why continued monetary intervention could eventually undermine bonds, currencies, and the effectiveness of central bank bailouts.

Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Asset Management argues that rising debt, persistent inflation, and growing demand for capital are setting up a powerful long-term bull market in commodities. He explains why he expects interest rates to remain under pressure, why a future U.S. debt and dollar crisis could be far more damaging than 2008, and why gold, silver, mining stocks, and royalty companies may offer some of the strongest opportunities as investors move toward hard assets.

Gareth Soloway of Verified Investing shares his technical outlook across oil, bonds, gold, silver, and copper while warning that extremely low volatility in the markets may be masking growing risks beneath the surface.

Willem Middelkoop, author of The Big Reset and founder of the Commodity Discovery Fund, argues that the monetary reset he has warned about for years is now beginning to take shape. He explains why central banks are moving toward gold, why general investors may be starting to rotate out of bonds and into hard assets, and why he believes gold mining stocks are only now breaking out of a 13-year bottoming pattern. Middelkoop also discusses looming supply shortages in copper, silver, and uranium.

Clem Chambers argues that investors may be witnessing a new form of market intervention: a “Trump put” driven increasingly through the U.S. Treasury rather than the Federal Reserve. He explains why he expects more liquidity, lower interest rates, a weaker dollar, and an inflationary push to rebuild American industry and fund the AI boom. Chambers also discusses what that environment could mean for stocks, gold, precious metals, and the broader U.S. economy.

Josh Young of Bison Insights argues that years of underinvestment have left the oil market increasingly vulnerable to future shortages. He explains why current prices are still too low to encourage enough new production, why reserve replacement remains dangerously weak, and how geopolitical disruptions are adding further pressure to global energy markets. Young also discusses the Strait of Hormuz, refining shortages, Venezuela, and why he believes the longer-term setup for oil remains strongly bullish.

John Feneck of Feneck Consulting explains why silver remains one of his largest holdings and where he sees the best opportunities across the sector. He also discusses potential M&A in the silver sector, why mining equities may finally be gaining leverage to higher metals prices, and the growing investment case for tungsten as the U.S. looks to secure critical mineral supply.

Doug Casey of International Man argues that the United States is entering a period of economic, political, and geopolitical decline that could culminate in what he calls a “Greater Depression.” Casey also discusses how he is positioning and why the miners may be better than gold in this leg.

Peter Spina of GoldSeek and SilverSeek argues that rising Treasury yields, persistent inflation, and growing distrust of U.S. debt are strengthening the long-term case for gold and silver. He explains why efforts to control the bond market may only buy policymakers time, why central banks continue shifting toward gold, and why he expects the current precious metals cycle to last for years rather than end with a short-lived spike. Spina also discusses silver’s upside, historically strong mining margins, and why he sees opportunity across producers, developers, and junior exploration companies.

Alasdair Macleod of Macleod Finance argues that America’s growing debt burden is becoming increasingly difficult to finance as major foreign holders of U.S. Treasuries face problems of their own. He explains why rising bond yields could become a serious threat to the dollar, why attempts to suppress those yields may ultimately weaken the currency further, and why he believes gold and silver will play a much larger role as confidence in government debt deteriorates.

Don Durrett of GoldStockData.com argues that rising government debt, stubborn bond yields, and growing intervention in the Treasury market are creating a “doom loop” that could drive gold and silver substantially higher. He explains why he sees gold potentially reaching $7,000–$8,000, why silver could outperform, and why he prefers producers and near-term developers over earlier-stage explorers during this phase of the bull market.

Michael Oliver of Momentum Structural Analysis argues that the next major financial crisis may center on government debt rather than banks or private credit. He explains why rising long-term yields and intervention in the Treasury market could signal growing stress in government bonds, why gold and silver are beginning to reassert their long-term trends, and why commodities remain historically cheap relative to the growth in the money supply. Oliver also outlines a major technical breakout he is watching in gold and silver miners that he believes could lead to substantial outperformance versus gold itself.

Justin Huhn of Uranium Insider argues that the uranium market is moving toward a serious supply problem as utilities contract fuel into the early-to-mid 2030s while many of the mines needed to meet that demand have yet to begin construction. He explains why long-term uranium prices are rising, why the biggest pinch point may ultimately be uranium itself rather than conversion or enrichment, and how new reactor construction in the U.S. and abroad could tighten the market further.

Taylor Kenney, host of Taylor Made Economics at ITM Trading, argues that the U.S. is entering the late stages of a historic debt and monetary cycle. She explains why rising bond yields and nearly $40 trillion in debt could force another major round of money printing, why central banks are moving toward physical gold, and how weakening confidence in U.S. Treasuries could accelerate the shift away from the dollar.

Dr. Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute argues that the Federal Reserve’s real priority is protecting government financing and the financial system, not simply fighting inflation. He explains why Kevin Warsh may prove less hawkish than expected, why gold reflects declining confidence in fiat money, and why another crisis could force the Fed back toward aggressive easing.

Rick Rule, longtime natural resource investor, argues that one of the biggest opportunities in mining may be developing behind the scenes in the copper sector. He explains why major copper producers could need roughly $250 billion just to maintain current production, why that capital shortfall could create a major financing boom for royalty and streaming companies, and why firms such as Wheaton Precious Metals and Franco-Nevada may be among the biggest beneficiaries. Rule also discusses gold, interest rates, M&A targets, how he evaluates junior mining acquisitions, and where he sees opportunity across gold, silver, copper, and uranium royalties.

Dave Collum, professor at Cornell University, argues that today’s market is not facing a single speculative excess but multiple bubbles stacked on top of one another. He explains why he believes the AI boom could unravel quickly, why platinum remains one of his preferred commodity trades, and why gold continues to play a major role in his portfolio. Collum also discusses the possibility of a more hawkish Federal Reserve, the relationship between interest rates and housing affordability, and why decades of cheap money could ultimately end in a painful economic reset.

Christopher Whalen of Whalen Global Advisors, LLC and publisher of The Institutional Risk Analyst argues that investors may be overlooking one of gold’s most important signals: credit default swaps on U.S. government debt. He explains why rising concern over America’s creditworthiness can strengthen the case for gold, why long-term interest rates may remain elevated even if short-term rates fall, and why inflation is likely to remain a persistent problem. Whalen also discusses the dollar’s changing role in global reserves, the risk of inflating away U.S. debt, and why he expects a significant reset in housing and parts of the stock market.

Chris Vermeulen, technical analyst and founder of The Technical Traders, argues that the broader stock market remains firmly bullish even as money rotates out of Big Tech and into other areas of the market. He sees the S&P 500 and Nasdaq setting up for another major leg higher, potentially ending in a euphoric blow-off phase. At the same time, he remains cautious on gold, silver, miners, and long-term bonds, arguing that recent rallies are still countertrend moves until the charts confirm a broader reversal.
