Show Notes
In this December 2025 edition of "Ask the Expert" from Sprott Money, Craig Hemke hosts Dr. EJ Antoni, Chief Economist at the Heritage Foundation, for an urgent discussion on the Federal Reserve's latest actions, including the end of QT and the surprising restart of QE-style asset purchases. With the Fed injecting liquidity back into the system and monetary policy shifting rapidly, what does this mean for the gold price, silver price, and your investments in precious metals?
Dr. Antoni unpacks the real effects of money creation, discusses the weakening demand for the U.S. dollar globally, and explains how central bank gold buying continues to shape the price of gold and price of silver. If you’re looking to understand how to buy gold, buy silver, or position yourself ahead of 2026’s volatile markets, this podcast is essential viewing.
