Gold and Silver Surge While the Dollar Drops
from The Commodities Economy with Fexingo: Oil, Gold, Wheat, and Raw Material Markets · host Fexingo
In this episode of The Commodities Economy, Lucas and Luna explore a striking divergence in the commodities market as of June 2026: gold has surged to $4,348 per ounce, up 6.3% in a week, and silver has soared 9.3% to $69.85, while crude oil has tumbled over 8%. They dissect the dual drivers: a weakening U.S. dollar after a historic U.S.-Iran deal and shifting global risk sentiment. Lucas explains how the 'safe haven' narrative has flipped, with metals rallying despite sticky core inflation at 3.1% PCE. The conversation also touches on silver's industrial demand story, including solar panel manufacturing, and why oil is disconnected despite Middle East tensions. A must-listen for anyone tracking commodity crosscurrents. #Gold #Silver #CrudeOil #DollarWeakness #SafeHaven #Inflation #PCE #IranDeal #Commodities #IndustrialMetals #SolarDemand #RiskSentiment #FOMC #BrentCrude #WTI #MarketDivergence #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
