Liberty and Finance: Aug 7th, 2026 Peter Grandich: Silver Bottom! Why Gold & Silver Surged This Week; Peter Grandich warns that markets may be approaching a major turning point as political instability, de-dollarization, weakening confidence in the U.S., and extreme valuations collide. He argues that Trump’s policies have actually accelerated the global move away from the dollar, while growing tensions surrounding Iran and the U.S. political environment could create a major shock for stocks after Labor Day. Grandich also sounds the alarm on the AI bubble, arguing that increasingly circular financing could prove to be the signal that the sector has gone to an extreme. At the same time, he believes gold has already put in its bottom and that the precious-metals bull market has further legs to run. He also sees years of potential strength ahead for metals and mining as critical-mineral shortages and China's dominance of refining capacity expose vulnerabilities in the global supply chain.
