How The Stock Market Signals a Major Silver Rally

By Hubert moolman

26 March 2025

The most significant Dow peaks in the last 100 years were in 1929, 1966, 1973 and 1999. The 1929 peak was a nominal major peak as well as a major peak as measured in terms of gold (Dow/Gold ratio peak).

The 1966 and 1999 peaks were major Dow/Gold (D/G) peaks, whereas the 1973 peak was a major nominal peak. There has always been an interesting relationship between these peaks and silver rallies. After all of these peaks of the Dow there were significant silver rallies that followed.

Below, is a long-term chart for sold and the Dow:

States Work To Make Gold And Silver Alternative Currencies To US Dollar

by Tyler Durden
Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 - 09:10 AM

Authored by Kevin Stocklin via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Those who seethe as their dollars lose value to inflation may be pleased to know that many states are now working to pass laws that would allow gold and silver to be used—not only for savings and investment but as everyday currency for purchases and payments as well.

The state of Utah took a major step last week toward the use of gold and silver as transactional currencies, allowing their use for state payments to vendors. A bill, sponsored by state Rep. Ken Ivory, passed the Utah state legislature on March 18 and is now awaiting the signature of Gov. Spencer Cox.

If signed, this bill would make Utah the first state in America to pass a “transactional gold” bill.

“This is about making sure that people have choices,” Ivory told The Epoch Times. “It’s important that we give people a choice in how they store and transact their earnings and their savings.”

For Utah residents, the bill also addressed issues of local autonomy and preservation of savings, he said.

Trump: US Eyes Greenland for International Security

Trump said Vice President J.D. Vance is joining a delegation visiting Greenland this week with a mission to "to let them know that we need Greenland for international safety and security. We need it. We have to have it ... and we are going to have it."

Asked if the people of Greenland are "eager" to become U.S. citizens, Trump said he didn’t know.

"But I think that we have to do it, and we have to convince them and we have to have that land because it is not possible to properly defend a large section of the Earth, not just the United States, without it," he said. "So we have to have it, and I think we will have it."

China, Top Buyer of Venezuelan Oil, Hit Hard by Trump Secondary Tariffs

China on Tuesday condemned President Donald Trump’s imposition of secondary tariffs on countries purchasing Venezuelan oil and called for the U.S. to cease its “interference” in the South American nation.

China is presently the top buyer of Venezuelan oil. The Asian nation was the destination of 69 percent of all Venezuelan crude oil exports in 2023, according to the most recent statistical information from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

President Trump announced on Monday afternoon that any country that purchases oil or gas from Venezuela will be subject to an additional 25 percent “secondary tariff” on all goods imported to the United States, citing the “unusual and extraordinary threat” that the socialist regime of dictator Nicolás Maduro poses to the United States’ national security and foreign policy. The 25 percent secondary tariffs are set to go into effect on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.

X to Book 1st Annual Ad Revenue Growth Since Musk Takeover

Elon Musk-owned social media platform X is poised for the company's first year of advertising revenue growth since its acquisition by the billionaire in 2022, data from research firm Emarketer showed Wednesday.

Brands are returning to X at a time when Musk's influence has grown in the Trump administration, with the Tesla CEO's key role in the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency.

In 2025, X's U.S. ad revenue is expected to grow 17.5% to $1.31 billion, while global ad sales are estimated to rise 16.5% to $2.26 billion, according to Emarketer.

"Some of this year's growth is also being driven by fear. Many advertisers may view spending on X as a cost of doing business in order to mitigate potential legal or financial repercussions," said Jasmine Enberg, principal analyst at Emarketer.

Enberg said X has managed to attract small- and medium-sized businesses, which the company has historically struggled with.

Social platforms including Meta Platforms-owned Instagram and short-video app TikTok jostle for a larger share of the ad market that could be impacted by U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty.

Trump Egg Prices Down Nearly 60 Percent Since Last Month.

Wholesale egg prices continue to fall, with costs down 59 percent from February. Last month, President Donald J. Trump‘s Department of Agriculture (USDA) took action to put downward pressure on egg prices, including a surge of resources to combat avian flu outbreaks among the U.S. poultry population.“Gasoline’s way down. Eggs are way down. Groceries are down, very substantially. Almost everything is down,” President Trump said yesterday evening at the White House. “Now I’d like to see interest rates come down a little bit, and you’re going to see billions of dollars, even trillions of dollars, coming into our country very soon in the form of tariffs.”

Trump: Larger Tariffs Could Be Imposed on Canada, EU If They Cause US 'Economic Harm'

President Donald Trump said on Thursday that larger tariffs could be placed on the European Union and Canada if they both work together "to do economic harm to the USA."

"If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had," he said in a post on Truth Social.

The World on Fire: A Precarious Moment in History

Ladies and gentlemen, if you’ve been paying attention to the headlines—or better yet, digging beyond them—you know we’re living in a moment of unprecedented global tension. This past weekend alone, we saw Yemen’s Houthis launch 18 ballistic missiles at the U.S. Truman aircraft carrier, a salvo that thankfully didn’t connect, thanks to some remarkable American missile defense tech. But don’t let that success lull you into complacency—this isn’t just a skirmish in the Red Sea. It’s a symptom of a world teetering on the edge of chaos, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

I sat down with national security expert David Pyne this week to unpack the whirlwind of events since Friday—Russia, Ukraine, the Houthis, Iran, and the looming shadows of China and Taiwan. What’s clear is this: President Trump has inherited a mess that Joe Biden’s disastrous foreign policy left smoldering. But as David pointed out, the danger now might be even greater—not because Trump’s weak, but because he’s strong. Our enemies see a commander-in-chief who won’t be pushed around, and they might just be reckless enough to test him.

The Houthi Gambit and Iran’s Shadow

Let’s start with Yemen. The Houthis, backed by Iran, fired off what David believes could be hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missiles—18 of them—at a U.S. carrier strike group. This isn’t routine. As David noted, this might be one of the first times in history such weapons have been used in combat, a chilling milestone that began under Biden last year. Our Navy shot them all down, a testament to our capabilities, but the sheer audacity of the attack signals something bigger. Iran’s pulling the strings here, and President Trump isn’t mincing words about it. In a statement, he warned that every Houthi shot will be treated as a shot from Iran itself, with “dire consequences” to follow.

Iran Issues Dire Warning as US Warships Head to Middle East

Iran has warned against military aggression as the United States ordered additional naval power to the Middle East amid escalating tensions with Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

“The preparedness of our Armed Forces, government, emergency responders, and civilian capabilities is at its highest level. This readiness grants us immunity and strength, ensuring that no one dares to invade our land,” Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi told reporters on Monday. “Our enemies are well aware of the consequences of any aggression against our territory,” underlining the preparedness of Iran’s armed forces and emergency services.

Tariffs vs Sanctions – Myths & Covert Operations

The insanity over the U.S. inflation data illustrates just how braindead analysis has become. The price of eggs grabbed a lot of headlines – up 15%. But supply shortages are to blame for that surge – avian flu kills chickens. Raising interest rates will not stop the bird flu. The Fed cannot do anything about that. Raising interest rates would only make inflation rise, not decline. Like the former Biden Administration, the analysis seems to have no common sense anymore. Inflation = economic growth, which is inherent in all systems and is distinguished from hyperinflation when the confidence in government collapses. Deflation = economic contract and decline. So, are we to fear inflation and cheer asset depreciation?

Why the Fed Cannot Reduce Rates to Offset Tariffs

President Donald Trump is urging the Fed to cut interest rates to offset the inflation that will be caused by tariffs. “The Fed would be MUCH better off CUTTING RATES as U.S.Tariffs start to transition (ease!) their way into the economy,” Trump wrote. “Do the right thing. April 2nd is Liberation Day in America!!!” Reducing interest rates will NOT offset inflation caused by tariffs because the two variables are not directly related.

Tariffs increase costs due to supply, while interest rates influence demand. When tariffs are imposed, the cost of imported goods rise, increasing prices for consumers and businesses. This cannot be offset by lowering interest rates, as rate cuts stimulate borrowing and investment rather than addressing price increases caused by trade barriers. In fact, lower interest rates can exacerbate the problem by weakening the currency, making imports even more expensive, further fueling inflation.

Historically, tariffs have led to stagflation—rising prices combined with economic stagnation—rather than the demand-driven inflation central banks typically target. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff of the 1930s, for example, severely disrupted global trade and worsened the Great Depression. Similarly, Trump’s trade war with China during his first term did not lead to any economic boom but instead forced businesses to adjust supply chains, raising costs for consumers.

American CFOs Believe Tariffs Will Cause Recession – Confidence is Dying

American businesses are losing confidence in the US economy under Trump due to the tariff wars. CNBC’s CFO Council quarterly survey for Q1 2025 learned that America’s top CFOs are increasingly pessimistic about the economy due to these “disruptive” and “aggressive” tariff policies.

Around 60% of respondents believe the US will fall into a recession by the second half of this year, with 15% believing the recession will come in 2026. When this survey was conducted last quarter, prior to the tariff wars and trade volatility, only 7% of CFOs believed the nation was heading into a recession. This figure is a glimpse at how heavily trade uncertainty is destroying confidence.

How do corporations plan ahead when trade restrictions are subject to change at a moment’s notice? It’s simply not possible, and what happens is corporations will err on the side of caution and prematurely raise prices regardless of whether the tariffs go into effect. Unsurprisingly, nearly all (95%) of respondents said ever-changing trade policies are impacting their ability to make business decisions. Will tariffs be implemented? When? At what rate? The uncertainty is causing complete chaos in boardrooms across America.

UAE to Invest $1.4 Trillion in Key US Sectors

The United Arab Emirates committed to one of the largest foreign direct investment pledges after agreeing to invest $1.4 trillion in the United States over the next decade. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s national security adviser and a key figure in the Gulf nation’s economic strategy, met with President Donald Trump last week to discuss the massive investment promise.

The detailed framework has not been outlined. However, the UAE has said it would like to “substantially increase” existing investments in semiconductors, energy, manufacturing, and AI—all key sectors for the USA. It is no secret that American manufacturing has been suffering in recent years. The CHIPS act did little to promote semiconductor manufacturing in the US. Donald Trump has accused Taiwan of taking semiconductor business away from the US, and naturally, has threatened tariffs. The US must work fast if it wishes to compete with China in the AI realm, with DeepSeek being one example of China’s technological achievements.

Emirates Global Aluminum has announced plans to create the first new aluminum smelter in the US in nearly four decades. The White House noted this “would nearly double US production capacity” in aluminum and provide a much-needed boost to manufacturing overall.

Investment fund ADQ, based in the UAE, will partner with US-based Energy Capital Partners to invest $25 billion into energy infrastructure including data centers. This comes after billionaire Hussain Sajwani announced in January that he plans to place $20 billion into a US data center as his firm, Damac, already has close ties with Trump’s business ventures.

This historic deal is excellent news for the US economy and part of a much larger capital shift taking place as foreign capital seeks a safe haven.

Investment commitments in U.S. nears $3 trillion since Trump took office

Investing.com -- The list of companies and countries investing in the U.S. as part of President Donald Trump’s push to reshore manufacturing continues to grow.

On Monday, the Trump administration added Hyundai (OTC: HYMTF) to the list, with the conglomerate planning to announce a $20 billion U.S. investment. The South Korean company’s reported plan includes the construction of a $5 billion steel plant in Louisiana. The onshoring operation from Hyundai is expected to create 1,500 jobs.

Last week, AI chip giant NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced an investment of over $100 billion in the U.S., and pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced a more than $55 billion investment.

Trump calls it the “Golden Age of America.”

Sleepwalking Into a Cashless Society

Central bank digital currencies would destroy any chance for financial privacy, but society is willingly moving in that direction.

Philip Lane, chief economist of the European Central Bank, recently expressed urgency for the need to develop a digital euro—also known as a central bank digital currency (CBDC)—to compete against stablecoins such as Tether and electronic payment systems developed by U.S. tech firms, such as Google Pay and Apple Pay. Not content with eliminating cash, now the goal of central banks is to eliminate any competing electronic payment system.

We're sleepwalking into a world with digital currencies without any government coercion whatsoever. As a 51-year-old Generation Xer, I carry lots of cash in my wallet. I teach personal finance at the local university and recently asked a class of about 30 students if any of them had any cash. Not one of them had a single bill or coin on them. They use debit cards, credit cards, Venmo, and Apple Pay. As it turns out, cash usage among the 18–24 age cohort has declined from 28 percent to 13 percent over the last five years. Most like the convenience of electronic payments, even though studies show that people spend 12 percent to 18 percent more when using credit cards than cash. If the government does attempt to implement a digital dollar, there will be little resistance to it.

Currently, there is $2.36 trillion in U.S. currency in circulation. Of course, much of this is held outside our borders, owing to the dollar's dominance as the global reserve currency. The most common denomination of U.S. currency is the $100 bill. There are more $100 bills in circulation than $1 bills. Many residents of foreign countries, such as Argentina, consider the U.S. dollar to be a store of value and a hedge against inflation and local currency depreciation. If the U.S. government ever decided to phase out paper currency, it would have far-reaching effects around the globe.

Trump-backed crypto bank joins stablecoin wars with new dollar-pegged token
Mar 25 20252:21 PM EDT


World Liberty Financial, the decentralized finance venture backed by President Donald Trump and his family, has launched a stablecoin.
The stablecoin, dubbed USD1, will be pegged to the U.S. dollar and be backed by short-term U.S. government treasuries, U.S. dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents.

It joins an increasingly crowded market of stablecoins. The market cap for dollar-backed stablecoins has grown more than 46% in the past year, according to CryptoQuant.

2025 sees 34 mega-bankruptcies already, with 144 projected this year. And its only March

It is only March, and already 34 companies with assets exceeding $100 million have filed for bankruptcy in 2025. Unicus Research has provided the data, and the trajectory is clear. If the pace holds, the year will see approximately 144 such mega-bankruptcies, a financial crisis brewing in real time.

Sectors feeling the weight of this collapse include healthcare, the auto industry, restaurants, and retail. These industries, already strained by inflation, high interest rates, and shifting consumer behavior, are seeing once-formidable firms collapse under the pressure. The consequences ripple far beyond corporate boardrooms, with thousands of layoffs feeding into the Challenger Job Cut numbers and store closures aligning with Coresight’s data. The impact is severe, and it is only accelerating.

Pretiorates' Thoughts 73 – Gold is king, but Silver could now become the champion

Published on March 23rd, 2025

In our analyses, we regularly examine current movements, identify possible influencing factors and assess the general market situation. However, these are not recommendations, but merely opinions and food for thought.

Dear readers,

Gold has easily broken through the 3000 mark and has been consolidating just above it for a few days now. The fact that the price did not fall back below it can be interpreted as a sign of strength.

As always, however, we distinguish between trading in the western hemisphere, which is strongly dominated by paper Gold. This includes futures, ETFs and all structural financial products. In eastern trading, especially in India and China, the focus is more on the physical metal. Accordingly, buyers and sellers behave differently.

If we observe the smart investors action in London and the US, they have recently distributed massively in the rising market...
