Michelle Makori, President and Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Rich Checkan, President and COO of Asset Strategies International, about why gold may be approaching its next major move. Checkan explains why he believes gold is like a pressure cooker that is finally ready to blow, with prices potentially reaching between $7,000 and $9,000 during this bull-market run. He also examines Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent’s recent comments about Fort Knox, why Washington keeps emphasizing America’s gold reserves, and whether some of that gold may already be pledged or encumbered. They also discuss why the United States cannot repeat Paul Volcker’s aggressive interest-rate strategy, how nearly $40 trillion in federal debt strengthens the case for gold, China’s potentially understated gold holdings, central-bank buying, Venezuela’s gold trade, and why Checkan believes the recent correction has made both gold and silver significantly more attractive.
