The Spin

Narrative A

The wild instability in precious metals reveal dangerous market movements disconnected from reality. Those who invested at the peak should have seen that bond markets showed no inflation fears, Treasury yields moved opposite to debasement predictions and the dollar's movements contradict the safe-haven narrative. Those who ignored warnings about a 25-35% crash got exactly what they deserved.

Narrative B

Gold's sharp correction was inevitable after an unsustainable melt-up from $3,000 to $5,500 without meaningful pullbacks. However, the structural drivers behind the rally remain intact, including geopolitical tensions, fiscal uncertainty and currency debasement concerns. Investors should view this as a buying opportunity to gradually build positions through a phased approach.
