He argues that tightening physical energy supplies and rising interest rates are poised to unravel the "everything bubble" created by decades of loose monetary policy, triggering significant volatility across stocks, bonds, and real estate. Jensen points to an oil price shock as the possible catalyst that will force the unwinding of trillions in leveraged assets while exposing the fragility of the paper-based metals market. As fiat confidence frays, he advises investors to seek safety in physical precious metals, positioning gold and silver as essential hedges against what he describes as an imminent monetary reset.

He argues that tightening physical energy supplies and rising interest rates are poised to unravel the "everything bubble" created by decades of loose monetary policy, triggering significant volatility across stocks, bonds, and real estate. Jensen points to an oil price shock as the possible catalyst that will force the unwinding of trillions in leveraged assets while exposing the fragility of the paper-based metals market.

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the world's largest bank by assets, ended retail paper gold trading on July 24, 2026, alongside Postal Savings Bank, Ping An Bank, and China Guangfa Bank [citation:6]. This action pushes investors toward physical bullion and away from leveraged speculation [citation:2][citation:3]. For Chris Whalen, it's a sign of a global monetary reset—China is building a parallel system where gold is priced and settled outside Western paper markets [citation:5].

Craig Hemke, founder of TF Metals Report, argues the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve are being forced into unprecedented intervention—including potential "Yield Curve Control"—to prevent long-term yields from exploding as debt spirals toward $200 trillion [citation:1][citation:3]. Hemke warns that these "cracks" in the fiat system reveal the fragility of the dollar and the paper gold market. He advises investors to focus on physical assets, as gold's long-term bull market remains intact despite short-term price volatility [citation:1].
