Show Notes

Peter Boockvar joins Craig Hemke for Sprott Money to examine the growing risks in global bond markets, rising government debt, Federal Reserve rate hikes, persistent inflation, and what these developments could mean for gold, silver, commodities, and investors in 2026.

As U.S. Treasury yields surge and concerns over government deficits intensify, Peter explains why investors are becoming increasingly reluctant to hold long-term sovereign debt, how Japan's bond market is influencing global interest rates, and why yield curve control could become a dangerous policy response. He also discusses the growing demand for hard assets, why gold and silver remain important components of portfolio diversification, how the AI investment boom could eventually lose momentum, and where investors may find opportunities beyond overcrowded technology stocks.
