Gold and Silver Wrecked on Hormuz Shutdown — Why Craig Hemke Isn’t Selling | $6,000 Target

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, energy prices surged, the dollar went vertical, and in a broad market sell-off that saw the Dow plunge over 1,200 points intraday, gold and silver got caught in the liquidation wave. We sat down with Craig Hemke of TF Metals Report just hours after the chaos to break down what's really driving these moves and whether any of this changes his long-term thesis for precious metals.

Craig explains why today algorithmic trading and a surging dollar are overpowering gold's safe-haven status, why record-low COMEX open interest is making every move more extreme, and why the "bubble" narrative is flat wrong. He also lays out the policy playbook the U.S. administration is openly telegraphing: aggressive rate cuts, a Fed-Treasury accord under incoming chair Kevin Warsh, yield curve control, and a possible revaluation of the government's gold, currently on the books at just $42.22 an ounce, all pointing toward $6,000 gold.

Craig says the $6,000 gold thesis is intact and today's sell-off hasn't changed it. Stay positioned for what's ahead inside Wealthion's Real Assets Community (FREE to join): https://wealthion.com/getready
