European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde used the ECB’s 2026 Annual Global Risk Lecture in Bologna this week to deliver a stark message: “we are leaving a world where risk can be measured and modeled, and entering one of genuine uncertainty.” Her twin culprits are escalating geopolitical fragmentation and the break-neck spread of artificial intelligence.

Earlier this week, Peter appeared on Wolf Financial to discuss his favorite themes — the unraveling credibility of fiat, the quiet reallocation into gold, and the costly mistakes corporate treasuries make when they confuse speculation with prudent reserves.

The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) afternoon fix set a fresh […]

Gold prices refused to budge much last week, with the LBMA Gold Price PM settling Friday at $3,344 per ounce—just 0.3 percent below the prior close. That leaves the metal up a dazzling 28.6 percent year-to-date, still among 2025’s best-performing assets despite a flurry of trade headlines and political theatrics. Early gains driven by tariff […]
