The price of gold and silver has been incredibly volatile to start 2026. After being the top performing asset in 2025, gold kicked off the new year by soaring to brand new highs. However, over the weekend, the price came tumbling back down.

In this video we try to explain the reasons for the initial rise in the price of gold.

🔹 The Price Of Gold Has Soared:

The price of gold soared to over $5,500 last week before pulling back dramatically over the weekend. There’s a few potential reasons why this volatility has occurred.

🔹 Global Uncertainty Has Increased:

Global uncertainty has been on the rise. From trade restrictions and strained alliances, confidence in the sustainability of the current economic order has decreased.

🔹 The Debasement Trade Is Garnering Attention:

Investors are concerned that the current levels of monetary and fiscal spending will lead to a decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar, so they are buying hard assets.

🔹 Central Banks Have Been Buying Gold:

While use cases for gold are not super compelling, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine central banks around the globe began greatly increasing their purchases if gold.

🔹 Gold (And Silver) Have Become Meme Stocks:

The most likely explanation is herding behavior by investors. Said differently, gold (and silver) have become meme stocks as investors chase returns.
