Very funny-lol.

No gold will continue to rise, but percentage wise, silver will rise faster. You know it always happens that way :).

But this is the headline news!

Trump has gone mad, and he is in a fight with the entire world, and the world is fighting back.

Country after country, and corporation after corporation, are fleeing, and taking their money with them, and that, IMO, is going to cause a great reduction in GDP, and make it so much worse trying to finance our debt, and so a further fall in the dollar and bond market.

When a person hates the world, like Trump does, it is only a matter of time before they get around to everyone e.g. (MAGA).

And it is foolish for Trump to think he can win a war against the entire world, and boy is it dragging down the US making us a pariah of the world, like Russia.

Worse, Trump is now saying out loud:" I hate Democrats"!, and says: " Trump on immigrants: ‘We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now’."

When he says:" immigrants are genetically evil", That is Hitler stuff, and not hyperbole.

He is starting wars with the entire world!

For these reasons, I think the debt is going to balloon much worse than people are saying, and inflation rising and GDP falling, along with the dollar and bonds, and we could be heading into a Weimar Republic situation?

Will there be buyers?: "The $518 billion figure in your question is close to the expected borrowing for the July-September 2025 quarter, which is $554 billion."

AI:"Therefore, the U.S. will need to sell a substantial amount of debt, including the roughly $554 billion for the July-September 2025 quarter, during this period to finance government activities, but the exact timing and amounts can vary."

Re. platinum: From what I've been seeing, some believe that the price of Pt crashed because of widespread belief that catalytic converters would soon not be needed because everybody would be driving EVs. This was probably an over-reaction, because ICEs look like sticking around for the foreseeable future, and because many people are choosing hybrid EVs, which still need the converters. The price of Pt has risen a lot in the past couple of months, and is at an ATH. It could go higher, of course, but looks risky to me. (My opinion is worth roughly what you paid for it.)
