Gold Surge Isn’t Over – Retail Investors Haven’t Even Stepped In | Rich Checkan

Video Description

Global markets are undergoing a seismic shift as geopolitical tensions escalate, Treasury markets convulse, and gold prices soar to new all-time highs. With central banks aggressively buying gold and U.S. debt levels reaching record highs, investors are asking: is this the early stage of a deeper monetary realignment? In this exclusive Kitco News interview, Rich Checkan, President and COO of Asset Strategies International, joins Jeremy Szafron to break down the key drivers behind gold’s surge, the impact of tariffs on equities and precious metals, and why he says gold remains “dirt cheap” even at record highs. Checkan also explains why retail investors are still missing in action, what the gold/silver ratio is signaling, and why central banks continue to dump dollars for real assets. Key topics: – Why gold sold off with stocks, then roared back stronger – What the GSR tells us about investor psychology – New data from China showing major gold ETF inflows – The real reason premiums on coins and bars remain low – Treasury market turmoil and what it says about global confidence – Why Checkan sees $3,800–$5,700 gold ahead – What retail investors must know before jumping into metals Checkan also addresses buyer beware warnings, why some gold dealers are overcharging, and what investors need to avoid in a volatile environment marked by debt, dislocation, and rising distrust in traditional markets.
