Weekend Show - Doc & Marc Chandler - Is the Fed Irrelevant? Gold Targets vs Rising Rates & USD
The KE ReportShow Notes
Global financial markets are grappling with rising interest rates, shifting central bank dynamics, and widening currency misalignments. On this week’s Weekend Show, Richard "Doc" Postma and Marc Chandler analyze how surging long-term yields are reshaping asset classes, from gold and silver targets to foreign equities and global capital flows.
Segment 1 & 2 - Kicking off this Weekend’s Show, Richard Postma (AKA "Doc") argues that rising interest rates and bond market deterioration will weigh heavily on broader equities and prolong a multi-year downturn in precious metals, projecting potential bottoms around $3,500 for gold and 40–50 for silver that could stretch into 2028. To navigate this environment, he outlines a defensive strategy centered on holding significant cash reserves while selectively eyeing long-term buying opportunities in beaten-down sectors such as gold and silver equities, uranium, and oil.
Segment 3 & 4 - Marc Chandler, Chief Market Strategist at Bannockburn Capital Markets and editor of Marc to Market, discusses global bond yield trends, inflation expectations, and the persistent strength of the U.S. dollar. He highlights how corporate debt for the AI build-out competes with Treasury supply, evaluates heavily undervalued foreign currencies like the Yen and Euro, and advises dollar-based investors to consider diversifying into international equity markets.
