Has the Fed Lost Control?

In today’s video, I look at what this could mean for stocks, gold, silver, Bitcoin and the US jobs report due later this week.

Saudi Arabia’s Oil Escape Route Is Now Under Threat
Saudi Arabia has increasingly relied on its Red Sea export route to bypass disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.
Now that alternative route is also under threat.
In today’s video, I explain why this matters for oil prices, shipping, inflation and the Federal Reserve:

Oil surged almost 16% this week as the Iran crisis intensified, but silver still fell sharply. Why did precious metals fail to benefit from rising geopolitical risk?
In the latest 2% Brief, I examine the oil shock, concerns around the Strait of Hormuz, cooling US inflation, the Federal Reserve outlook and the key levels now facing silver, gold and the wider market.

The 2% Brief
Silver has crashed back below $60 while oil has surged and tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz have intensified.
In my latest 2% Brief, I explain why gold and silver fell despite rising geopolitical risk, why oil may now be the key inflation signal, and what next week’s CPI data could mean for precious metals, Bitcoin and equities.
Watch here: https://youtu.be/LwpuacGHHAk
Do you think silver recovers above $60 next week, or is the pullback only beginning?

The 2% Brief
Platinum is still sitting in the shadow of gold and silver — but that may be exactly why it deserves attention.
Last night’s video went out later than planned, so you may have missed it.
I look at whether platinum is genuinely cheap, why it has been forgotten, and what could bring it back into focus.

The 2% Brief
New video now live.
Gold has the fear trade. Silver has the momentum trade. But is platinum the forgotten value trade?
In tonight’s video, I look at why platinum still looks cheap compared with gold and silver — and why UK investors need to be careful because physical platinum has a VAT issue that gold does not.
Watch here:
https://youtu.be/qnMSgTe_oiI
Is platinum genuinely cheap, or cheap for a reason?
