Adrian Day is a long-time value-oriented money manager and chairman/CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management, with a strong focus on gold, gold miners, and broader resource allocation. Across the supplied interviews he comes across as a contrarian market commentator who emphasizes valuation, sentiment extremes, and risk/reward rather than short-term price calls. He repeatedly frames his role as managing money through cycles, using market dislocations and investor capitulation as signals, and he tends to be cautious about timing bottoms precisely.
Day’s recurring economic worldview is broadly macro-monetary and contrarian. He sees gold primarily as a monetary asset responding to real rates, the dollar, central-bank policy, and fiscal weakness rather than jewelry or industrial demand. He is skeptical of governments’ fiscal discipline, expects policy and liquidity shifts to drive cross-asset rotations, and treats corrections in gold/miners as normal within a larger bull market. He also believes crowded trades can unwind into neglected areas such as precious metals, foreign markets, and undervalued commodities. His tone is usually cautiously bullish on gold over a multi-year horizon, while allowing for near-term downside, including deeper pullbacks if key support breaks.

Preview:Adrien Day, chairman of Adrien Day Asset Management, argues gold and gold stocks are in a "perfect contrarian setup" — valuations at 50-year lows, sentiment at multi-decade extremes (zero bullish on one day three weeks ago), and prices down ~40% from January peaks. He acknowledges near-term headwinds from dollar safe-haven bid from war and higher oil/CPI, but sees gold already showing resilience relative to those drivers. Central banks and BRICS continue buying. His longer-term thesis: the dollar will weaken once the war ends, the Fed is constrained in how hawkish it can be, and mid-cycle corrections in gold bull markets are typical (1974-75, 2006, 2008). He advises dollar-cost averaging, right-sizing positions, and not panicking.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the precious-metals pullback is a contrarian buying opportunity, not a reason to panic. He is constructive on gold over a 3–10 year horizon, more cautious near term because a retest of the recent low is possible, and especially bullish on silver’s setup after a sharp correction and heavy retail selling.
Preview:Jeremy Saffron frames the week at the Rule Symposium as a split-screen in gold: strong long-term conviction, but a sharp correction that exposed a wide divide in sentiment. The discussion centers on gold, silver, copper, the Fed, and the broader inflation/currency debate, with guests arguing that the correction does not negate the larger monetary case for precious metals and hard assets.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold equities face the worst sentiment he's seen in 50 years — gold miner bullish sentiment hit ~7% and briefly zero. He sees deep value in large-cap gold producers and royalty companies trading near all-time low free-cash-flow valuations despite exceptional margins. On silver, he warns that industrial demand isn't permanent: high prices force substitution/efficiency (Chinese solar makers already cut silver usage ~25%). Gold offers better risk/reward; silver has more upside but more downside risk. He advocates gradual deployment — 50% now for new money with a 5-year horizon — keeping cash for potential further downside (gold could break to $3,600). The one signal that would turn him cautious: sustained net central bank selling.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the recent pullback in gold and gold equities has created a favorable setup: prices are down, valuations are cheap, and sentiment is extremely weak, so he is buying selectively rather than broadly selling. He is cautious near term because a stronger dollar, higher yields, and any Fed tightening could pressure gold further, but he thinks negative real rates, central-bank buying, and possible policy/monetary shifts remain supportive.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the recent pullback in gold and miners is a normal mid-cycle correction, not a broken thesis. His framework is simple: don’t predict the next move, focus on risk/reward, stay with long-term value, and expect money to rotate out of crowded U.S. mega-cap tech into foreign markets, gold, commodities, and eventually quality gold equities once broad indexes stop rising.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold’s pullback is a normal bull-market correction, but near-term pressure remains from war-driven dollar strength, higher yields, and CPI/Fed concerns. He thinks the setup is still attractive for long-term buyers because gold stocks have sold off hard, valuations are in the lowest quartile of decades-long history, and sentiment is extremely weak.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold and the gold equities are still deeply undervalued because price, valuation, and sentiment are all extremely lopsided to the bearish side. He sees the setup as especially attractive for contrarians, while also favoring selected miners and, more cautiously, oil and thermal coal as underinvested sectors with improving fundamentals.
Preview:Adrian Day (Adrian Day Asset Management) joins Wall Street Bullion to discuss the recent selloff in gold and silver, blaming Kevin Warsh's hawkish Fed dot plot — where half the FOMC now expects rate hikes by end-2026. He argues silver and gold are "dramatically oversold" and the decline is macro-driven, not a fundamental breakdown. Day also sees an AI bubble forming, with data-center capex projections "grossly overdone," and notes a rotation from mega-cap tech (down 15–20%) into small-cap value — but no rotation yet into commodities or resource stocks, which he expects. He advises holding cash reserves not because he's bearish on gold/silver but because prudence demands it in a volatile, uncertain world.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold is near a contrarian inflection point: investor sentiment is extremely bearish, ETF outflows are heavy, and gold has already corrected about 25%. He expects near-term volatility may continue because of hawkish Fed messaging and the 200-day break, but he views the setup as attractive for underweight investors and even more compelling in gold miners, which he says remain cheap despite strong margins.
Preview:Adrian Day argues that the recent pullback in gold is more of a tactical correction than a broken thesis. He links the move to stronger-than-expected U.S. payrolls, firmer CPI, a stronger dollar, and higher long rates, but says the underlying demand from central banks and some institutional buyers remains intact. He is more constructive on gold miners and non-U.S. value markets than on frothy U.S. mega-cap tech.
Preview:Adrian Day argues that oil remains undervalued, underinvested, and potentially set up for a strong move once Middle East supply disruptions and/or renewed strategic stockpiling reshape sentiment. He is also constructive on gold and gold miners on valuation grounds, while emphasizing that foreign markets and value stocks still look attractive after years of US outperformance. His preferred lens is bottom-up, but the broad theme is a rotation away from expensive US growth and into lagging commodities, miners, and non-US markets.
Preview:Rick Rule interviews Adrian Day about his background, his global investing approach, and where he currently sees value. Day says he is most constructive on gold over the next 3–5 years, but believes several other commodities and especially foreign equities are more undervalued on a risk/reward basis right now.
Preview:Adrian Day argues U.S. stocks are extremely overvalued, with speculative excess and weakening leadership, while foreign markets look more attractive and may continue outperforming. He is meaningfully underweight the U.S., prefers selected overseas value opportunities, and sees some risk in private credit/BDCs but still finds certain public BDCs like Ares Capital acceptable.
Preview:Adrian Day is broadly bullish on precious metals equities, arguing the sector still has room to rerate because the generalist investor has not yet arrived and many miners still screen cheap despite higher gold prices. He also sees M&A premiums rising and says that favors juniors and developers, while preferring operators with proven teams, disciplined capital allocation, and multiple low-risk jurisdictions.
Preview:Adrian Day explains gold's sharp selloff following the Iran war as a classic "buy the rumor, sell the news" pattern — gold rallied on anticipation, then fell as the conflict began. He identifies three drivers: the dollar's competing safe-haven bid, higher yields, and a regional rush to liquidity (notably Turkey selling 120 tons). Despite the correction, he argues the structural thesis for gold remains intact: central banks and entities like Tether will resume their price-insensitive buying once the war situation stabilizes, because nothing has changed about US fiscal irresponsibility or dollar weaponization. On implementation, he favors selling puts on mining stocks and views producers like Newmont as undervalued on free cash flow metrics.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold’s post-conflict weakness is mostly explained by buy-the-rumor/sell-the-news behavior, dollar strength, and regional liquidity stress rather than a broken bull market. He remains bullish on gold long term, thinks the mining sector’s oil-cost hit is real but manageable, and expects broader investor flows into gold if equity markets start to roll over.
Preview:Adrian Day argues that higher oil prices, a more cautious Fed, and stress in private credit could create a broader liquidity and recession risk, while gold remains supported longer term even if it does not react immediately to geopolitical headlines. He says he has been trimming oil exposure after the spike, adding selectively to gold and foreign markets, and remains constructive on quality miners and diversified resource exposure.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold’s post-Iran-war pullback is normal: gold often falls after a geopolitical event because it rallied in anticipation, the dollar and Treasury yields rose, and investors sold gold for liquidity. He remains structurally bullish on gold, expects stronger gold over the next 18 months, and sees selective opportunities in miners, commodities, and foreign equities.
Preview:Steve Barton interviews Adrian Day about commodities into 2026, with the focus on gold, copper, oil, silver, and some agriculture. Day argues gold still offers the best risk/reward because central banks and large non-price-sensitive buyers remain active while retail/generalist participation is still limited. He is more constructive on copper and selectively constructive on agriculture, but less enthusiastic on oil after its recent move.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the macro backdrop is turning stagflationary: growth is slowing, inflation is still sticky, and that favors commodities broadly, especially gold and selective copper exposure. He says recent geopolitical spikes have already been “bought on rumor, sold on event,” so he is using pullbacks to buy gold, while taking some profits in oil stocks because they are no longer especially cheap after their recent run.
Preview:Adrian Day argues that gold’s pullbacks are being bought quickly and that the broader bull market is still intact. He sees the current cycle as different from prior gold booms because central banks and Tether are price-agnostic buyers, while geopolitical shocks may create only brief spikes rather than the main trend.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold is still in the early-to-middle stages of a bull market and is not near a top. He says the key buyers remain central banks and Tether, while retail and generalist capital is still mostly absent; that gap, plus broader weakness in U.S. megacap equities and rising distrust in fiat/debt policy, keeps the setup constructive.
Preview:Adrian Day is broadly bullish on gold and still constructive on silver, commodities, and select non-U.S. equities. His core thesis is that gold’s bull market has room to run because the cycle is historically long, central banks and Tether are persistent price-insensitive buyers, and generalist participation is still limited. He also argues oil and many commodities remain extremely cheap relative to financial assets after years of underinvestment.
Preview:A conference panel at VRIC Media discusses how to evaluate and finance mining companies in the current gold/silver environment. The panel is broadly constructive on mining financings, but most speakers prefer backing management teams with skin in the game, projects that can scale, and royalty/streaming models that reduce operating risk. Rick Rule is the most outspoken: he argues the sector has become a generous financing environment, but investors should still demand clear accretive use of capital and avoid weak issuers.
Preview:A fireside chat at VRIC featuring Adrian Day (portfolio manager) and Christopher Aaron (iGold Advisor founder, cycle analyst). Both are structurally bullish on gold. Day argues all prior drivers remain intact (central bank de-dollarization) plus a new one (Tether's gold-backed stablecoin buying). Aaron sees a long-term breakout of gold vs. US equities, targeting $9,000 gold within 12–24 months based on the 2011 gold/stock ratio, and expects the DXY to break a 20-year uptrend. Both acknowledge they can't identify a reasonable catalyst for a sustained gold bear market, though Day finds that fact itself unnerving. They see value in miners, particularly small-cap developers still recovering from near-bankruptcy conditions of 2023.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold is not near a top and still offers the best risk/reward, while broader U.S. equities look primed to fall. His core view is that the current gold bid is being driven less by classic macro factors and more by price-agnostic demand from central banks, Tether, and investors seeking protection from fiat debasement and global uncertainty.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the post-crash move in gold and silver is a sharp but not necessarily final correction, not a lasting top. He thinks gold is closer to a short-term low than a major peak, while silver is harder to read and may need more time before stabilizing.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold is nowhere near a top, driven by persistent central bank buying, fiscal concerns, and two new catalysts: Trump-era policy uncertainty and Tether's massive gold purchases for its gold-backed stablecoin. He highlights the absence of generalist investors as evidence no bubble exists, suggests a stock market rollover could be the next catalyst, and sees international markets beginning a multi-year outperformance cycle against the US. A pullback is always possible, but the structural drivers remain intact.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the precious-metals cycle is still early, especially for gold, because generalist investors have not truly arrived and the sector is not yet at a mania. He is bullish on gold for 2-3 years, constructive on silver but less so than gold, and likes copper, oil and gas, and select global equities where valuations are much cheaper than the U.S.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold is still in a bull market and nowhere near a top, even though pullbacks are always possible. He says the real buyers are still central banks, fiscal-deficit worried investors, and now Tether/crypto-linked demand, while the next major marginal buyer could come from crypto rotation into gold. He also thinks silver has more room to run, though a pullback there would not surprise him as much.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the precious-metals bull market is still intact, with gold and silver supported by the same core drivers that have been in place for three years: central-bank buying, fiscal worries, and a more uncertain global backdrop. He thinks pullbacks are normal inside bull markets and says neither gold nor silver is anywhere near a top yet.
Preview:This is a holiday livestream from Rule Investment Media that begins with Rick Rule’s seasonal greeting and then turns into a long, mostly bullish discussion of precious metals, copper, uranium, and select mining equities. The panel’s core message is that 2025 was a breakout year for real assets and that 2026 could extend the move, with silver, gold, platinum, and copper all framed as beneficiaries of supply deficits, central-bank buying, geopolitical risk, and growing investor interest.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold and silver remain in a secular bull market with significant runway ahead. The key new catalyst is Tether's massive physical gold purchases — exceeding any central bank in recent quarters — alongside continued (though moderating) central bank buying. He contends the 2011 top analogy fails because current speculative participation is far lower: ETF inflows are modest, premiums are absent, and Western retail is still on the sidelines. Silver is especially asymmetric given byproduct-dependent supply, pre-hedged production, and no large institutional stockpiles to cap prices. Once retail returns, he expects silver to push well above $100.
Preview:Adrian Day provides a bullish deep-dive on gold and silver, arguing that all fundamental drivers (central bank buying, fiscal deficit concerns, wealthy-family accumulation, and new entrants like Tether) remain intact despite gold's September-October surge and modest pullback. He sees the upcoming Fed meeting as a near-term risk if no cut materializes, but is highly optimistic on the medium-to-long term, expecting a dovish Fed under new leadership, a likely return of QE, and a structural gold bull market. Silver is framed as a laggard with explosive potential due to its byproduct-heavy supply structure and sticky investor demand. Gold miners, especially majors and royalty companies, are highlighted as undervalued on price-to-free-cash-flow despite strong operational leverage.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold remains in a strong bull market because the core drivers are still intact: central-bank buying, fiscal deficits, lower real rates, a weaker dollar, and rising inflation risk. He thinks the recent pullback in gold was modest relative to the prior surge, says the market has not fully washed out weak hands, and warns the near-term risk is a Fed disappointment if the expected cut is delayed. Beyond gold itself, he is constructive on silver, gold miners, and several commodities he sees as underinvested and heading into tighter supply conditions.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold’s move remains fundamentally driven by central-bank buying, expanding non-official demand, and increasing investor fear of fiscal deterioration, with the market now pricing in a December Fed cut. He thinks the recent pullback was shallow, likely already seen the low, and sees the bigger near-term risk as the Fed disappointing or sounding hawkish. He is also very constructive on miners and royalties, especially in the context of Tether’s entry as a major new gold buyer.
Preview:Adrian Day (Adrian Day Asset Management) discusses the recent silver and gold rally with host Ivan. He believes the pullback lows are likely in, pent-up buying from central banks and Tether supports prices, and the bigger question is how long before convincing new highs. He cautions against trying to time a crash — clients who sold everything to buy back lower have uniformly lost money. On central bank gold buying surpassing US Treasury holdings, he sees continued dollar diversification as structural. Silver has held up better than gold and gold stocks since the October peak, which surprises him.
Preview:Charlotte McLeod of Investing News Network recaps the week in mining: gold held $4,000–$4,100, silver spiked above $52/oz before pulling back on strong US jobs data that dampened December rate-cut hopes. Fed minutes showed internal division and confirmed QT ends December 1. A clip from Adrien Day argues this is effectively the start of QE. The bulk of the episode covers turmoil at Barrick Gold — board considers a breakup into two entities or an outright sale of African/Asian assets, Elliott Management took a ~$700M+ stake, and CEO Mark Bristow plus senior managers departed. MP Materials also announced a Saudi rare-earth refinery JV with the US DoD.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the macro backdrop is turning more stagflationary: the U.S. economy is slowing more than the consensus thinks, inflation is likely to stay stubborn, and central banks are easing too early. He thinks the dollar can bounce tactically but remains in a medium-term downtrend as reserve managers keep reducing dollar exposure. On precious metals, he says gold and silver have pulled back after a very fast run, but neither looks close to a major top because valuation, inflows, and central-bank demand still support the bull market.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the recent gold pullback was mostly a technical pause, not a fundamental top, and says the move back up reflects strong pent-up demand. He is very bullish into 2026 because the core drivers of gold remain intact: central-bank diversification away from the dollar, looser Fed policy ahead, and the likelihood that rising Treasury issuance will push the Fed back toward balance-sheet expansion/QE.
Preview:Gold's retreat from ~$4,400 toward $3,966 is a healthy consolidation within an intact bull market, not a top. Both Clive Thompson and Adrian Day argue the macro backdrop — the end of QT, eventual return of QE, a divided Fed, and institutional portfolio rebalancing in 2026 — remains wildly bullish for gold. They see gold miners as undervalued, trading as if gold were $2,500–$3,200 rather than near $4,000. Silver is more retail-driven but benefits from industrial demand exceeding mine supply. The key near-term catalyst is the upcoming Fed chair succession; both expect a dovish replacement who will ease aggressively.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the current gold pullback is a normal correction, not a market top. He says gold ran too far too fast, but sentiment is still far from the manic, public-participation conditions seen at major tops, and he expects the next leg higher to be driven by either a weaker stock market or a renewed inflation scare. He is also bullish on gold more broadly because he thinks Fed policy is shifting toward easier money, with QT ending and QE-like balance-sheet reinvestment beginning.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold's recent rally, while appearing dramatic, is smaller in percentage terms than 1979-80 or 2010-11, and critically lacks the speculative mania that marked those tops. Central banks, Chinese non-official buyers, and Middle Eastern wealth have driven gold higher for non-economic reasons while North American retail/institutional investors remained absent. With the macro backdrop now shifting to weaker dollar, sticky inflation, softening labor, and declining rates, Day expects North American participation to ignite the next leg — particularly in gold miners, which he views as deeply undervalued relative to bullion. He advocates trimming gold positions to rotate into miners, and flags that the end of QT potentially opening the door to QE would be wildly bullish for gold.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the recent gold pullback is a normal correction, not a mania top. He says gold’s multi-year rise has been driven mainly by central-bank, Chinese non-official, and Middle Eastern buying rather than classic macro factors, and that gold stocks still look cheap with disciplined balance sheets and no sign of the reckless M&A that marked 2011. He recommends holding a permanent gold insurance position, but trimming bullion/ETFs after the run and rotating some capital into undervalued miners.
Preview:Adrian Day argues that gold and silver's recent sharp pullback is a normal bull-market correction, not a top. Key fundamentals — central bank diversification away from the dollar, fiscal irresponsibility, and weaponization of the dollar — remain fully intact. Crucially, there is no public mania, which historically must precede any major top. He sees the broader stock market as increasingly risky (narrow breadth, extreme insider selling), and is also turning bullish on energy (peaking US shale, extreme undervaluation vs. gold) and copper (structural supply deficit).
Preview:Adrian Day lays out a structurally bullish gold thesis: all the forces that drove gold higher over the past 3 years — central bank diversification from the dollar, fiscal unsustainability, dollar weaponization, and wealthy-individual hedging — remain intact and are accelerating. He argues this cycle is different because the general public and generalist funds are not yet participating, meaning no classic market top is near. He warns of a longer-term inflationary reckoning as the dollar's reserve-currency dominance erodes and the vast stock of offshore dollars returns home.
Preview:Adrian Day, a veteran gold investor, argues the gold rally is far from over because the structural drivers — central bank diversification away from the dollar, fiscal profligacy, and the absence of retail/public participation — remain fully intact. He sees gold's resilience as a warning of unsustainable US deficits and dollar dominance erosion. For mining investors, he recommends sticking with quality large-cap names (like Agnico Eagle, Newmont, Barrick) that will still deliver solid returns at lower risk, rather than chasing speculative juniors where poor management can destroy value.
Preview:Adrian Day argues that the long era of dollar dominance and easy US deficit financing is fading, and that this should support gold and select resource equities. He frames gold as an old-fashioned asset whose durability is exactly the point, and says gold stocks still look inexpensive despite large YTD gains. He also prefers copper, uranium, and silver over more abundant commodities because of supply constraints, and repeatedly stresses position sizing and patience because resource equities are volatile.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the gold bull market is still in its early-to-middle stages, driven mainly by continued central-bank buying, strong Chinese non-official demand, fiscal concerns, and a broader move away from the U.S. dollar as the sole reserve currency. He says retail participation is surprisingly absent, which makes him more bullish, but he also thinks a meaningful mid-cycle pullback could happen soon if flows reverse or risk events line up.
Preview:Adrian Day, founder of Adrian Day Asset Management, argues the precious metals bull market is much closer to its beginning than its end, driven by central bank buying, Chinese demand, US fiscal concerns, and dollar reserve status erosion — none of which are price-sensitive. He highlights extreme GDX outflows ($681M last month) as a contrarian signal that generalist investors have not yet entered. While long-term bullish, he warns mid-cycle corrections of 20% in gold / 40% in stocks are historically normal and possible, and advises new investors to start now but hold back 30-40% cash for opportunities.
Preview:Adrian Day, founder of Adrian Day Asset Management, discusses the bullish sentiment at recent gold conferences (Beaver Creek, Denver Gold Forum), the stagflationary macro environment, and why he struggles to find a bearish case for gold. He highlights continued central bank gold buying, the significance of Saudi Arabia buying silver (via SLV), and argues the Fed is dangerously behind the curve due to backward-looking data dependency. His main concern is that the absence of a reasonable bearish argument for gold should make rational investors nervous.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the precious-metals bull market is still early, with gold supported by central-bank diversification, sovereign-fiscal concerns, and a new wave of generalist/retail buying. He is constructive on gold, silver, and select miners, sees platinum and palladium mostly as EV-cycle disappointments with some hybrid-related support, and is neutral on oil in the near term.
Preview:Adrian Day discusses the gold and silver mining sector with host Danny of CapitalCosm. He argues that the recent outperformance of gold stocks (GDX up ~82% YoY) is justified by dramatically expanding margins — gold at $3,713 while all-in sustaining costs remain ~$1,700/oz. He emphasizes that sophisticated investors (Druckenmiller, Tudor Jones, Dalio, Elliott) have been buying, but retail and generalist investors have barely entered yet, as evidenced by persistent GDX/GDXJ outflows until late August. He sees a potential Treasury funding crisis within the next year that could force QE, further supporting gold. The core thesis: gold stocks remain cheap on cash-flow, P/E, and NAV metrics despite the price surge, and the trade has a long way to run once ordinary investors allocate even 1-2% of portfolios.
Preview:Adrian Day argues that the Fed is boxed in by weaker labor data and sticky inflation, and that the most likely near-term outcome is a quarter-point cut with another cut later this year. His broader view is bearish on the dollar, skeptical of the Fed’s data dependence, and constructive on gold, gold miners, and other lagging assets as markets become more overvalued and breadth worsens.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the US economy is weaker than headlines suggest, the Fed will cut rates in September, and the real question is whether the Fed pivots to QE to absorb massive Treasury issuance. He identifies four buyer groups driving gold: central banks diversifying from the dollar, Chinese non-official buyers, wealthy individuals/institutions globally, and sees gold stocks as still undervalued despite the rally. The Fed being forced into QE is his underappreciated signal — wildly bullish for gold if it happens.
Preview:A compilation of five expert opinions on silver's 2025 price outlook, drawn from recent interviews. The experts range from strongly bullish (Ted Butler calling "this is the moment") to cautiously optimistic with near-term reservations (Adrien Day, Rick Rule). Key bullish arguments include a five-year structural supply deficit, peaked miner production since 2016, and silver's historical undervaluation relative to gold. Bearish/cautious voices note that retail investor participation is still absent and that silver's byproduct-heavy supply structure makes it inherently volatile. The consensus tactical advice: start with physical metal before ETFs, futures, or mining stocks.
Preview:Adrian Day of Adrian Day Asset Management, interviewed at the 2025 Rule Symposium, lays out a structural bull case for gold, copper, and silver. He argues gold's resilience stems from persistent drivers — central bank diversification away from the dollar, worsening fiscal conditions — and that rate cuts later this year will bring North American investors into gold stocks, which remain remarkably undervalued on price-to-cash-flow metrics despite 55% gains in the past year. On copper, he sees a predictable supply deficit over 5–7 years; on silver, a new floor near $33 with limited supply responsiveness. He names Freeport-McMoRan and Lara Exploration as copper picks, and Pan-American Silver as his favorite silver play.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold still has strong upside because central banks remain the dominant buyers, North American investors are only beginning to return, and the macro backdrop is turning more favorable for precious metals. He sees any near-term pullback as a buying opportunity, with gold stocks and royalty names still attractive on improving margins and valuations.
Preview:Daniela Cambon interviews Adrian Day (Adrian Day Asset Management) at the Rick Rule Symposium. They discuss Trump's new 10% tariff threat on BRICS nations, contradictions in Trump's trade/geopolitical strategy, why tariffs are disinflationary not inflationary per Day, Powell's reluctance to cut rates, the suspect quality of economic data, the approaching US debt crisis, and a very bullish long-term gold thesis despite near-term pullback risks.
Preview:Adrian Day argues the US and global economy are slowing beneath noisy headline data, which should eventually force the Fed to ease later in 2025 via cuts and possibly renewed QE. He is constructive on gold and silver, but he thinks the biggest opportunity is still in commodities and resource equities, especially supply-constrained names like copper and uranium.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold's real bull market is only beginning because the traditional macro drivers (rate cuts, weak dollar, slowing economy) are just now turning favorable. The past three years were driven by central bank buying and geopolitical concerns, while Western investors stayed away. Now, with capital returning to the junior mining sector (evidenced by surging financings) and investment advisors still absent from gold stocks, he sees a multi-year runway. For risk-averse investors, he recommends royalty companies (Franco-Nevada, Wheaton) over ETFs or individual miners. On silver, he is cautious about calling the recent move a sustained breakout since it started with futures rather than physical buying.
Preview:Adrian Day (Adrian Day Asset Management) offers a cautiously bullish silver outlook, emphasizing that ETF inflows — not just futures buying — are needed for a sustained breakout. He flags the US debt ceiling funding crisis as the key macro risk, criticizes the "Big Beautiful Bill" for undoing DOGE's spending cuts, and highlights early signs of a turn in gold mining stocks (GDX inflows, junior outperformance) as evidence that individual investors are returning to the sector.
Preview:Adrian Day, president of Adrian Day Asset Management, sits with host Kai Hoffman to argue that the US dollar's decline is structural and accelerating — driven by deglobalization, fiscal recklessness, and foreign central bank diversification away from USD reserves. He sees recession odds as "reasonably high," expects the Fed to resume QE as the debt-ceiling crisis forces massive Treasury issuance, and is exceptionally bullish on gold (99.5% confidence year-end higher) and especially gold miners, which he believes are in the earliest innings of a cycle that has barely begun to attract North American retail/institutional flows.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold’s rise is being driven less by tariffs or headline macro noise than by deeper structural forces: central-bank reserve diversification, Chinese private buying, and growing fiscal strain. He expects that if U.S. funding stress comes to a head, the Fed will be forced into some form of QE by September, and he thinks gold mining equities still look cheap despite the rally.
Preview:Adrian Day, portfolio manager of the Europacific Gold Fund, reacts to the FOMC decision to hold rates. He argues the Fed is being dangerously reactive rather than proactive — Powell even admitted the September cut may have been late, yet the Fed refuses to cut now when clear evidence of economic slowing exists. Day sees a slowdown as more certain than inflation from tariffs, expects QT to effectively end and QE to resume soon, and believes gold's bull market is structurally supported by long-term defensive buyers, fiscal concerns, and still-undervalued gold miners.
Preview:Adrian Day of Adrian Day Asset Management joins host Ivan to discuss gold and silver markets. Day argues gold's recent correction from ~$3,500 to $3,240 is healthy and may have further to go short-term due to overbought conditions, recession fears triggering institutional selling, and potential US-China tariff de-escalation. However, he remains structurally bullish on both gold and silver, citing long-term drivers. He expects the US economy to enter recession regardless of tariffs, forecasts the Fed will eventually be forced into QE to absorb Treasury supply as foreign buyers retreat, and advises buying any gold pullback. A Juggernaut Exploration sponsor segment is inserted mid-episode.
Preview:Adrian Day argues that gold and silver will surge rather than crash, citing five bullish drivers: potential Fort Knox audit (unlikely but explosive if true), tariff-driven economic uncertainty, a breaking-down S&P/Nasdaq led by the Magnificent Seven, margin-call risk that could temporarily drag gold stocks lower before they recover first, and extreme bearish sentiment in gold mining ETFs (GDX/GDXJ) despite their 40% outperformance — a contrarian setup he believes must reverse.
Preview:Adrian Day argues gold's rise past $2,900 is driven primarily by central bank buying, with North American and European ETF inflows now joining. He dismisses the London-to-US gold flow as simple tariff arbitrage, not a deeper systemic issue. On copper, he's very bullish long-term due to supply constraints but recommends simplicity (Freeport-McMoRan, copper ETFs) over junior explorers. He expects the Fed to hold rates steady given rising inflation, and walks through the "Mar-a-Lago Accord" concept — a loose collection of Trump-era proposals that are, in his view, uniformly gold-bullish. His core thesis: gold stocks are at 40-year valuation lows with expanding margins, and the moment generalist investor interest returns, the sector will "fly."
