Lobo Tiggre argues the gold bull market is still intact but in a correction/consolidation phase that could last longer than many expect. He warns that miners are not automatically cheap just because gold is high, though he still sees strong margins and says the best near-term opportunity may actually come in oil if war/peace headlines trigger an oversold selloff.

This interview centers on whether the 2026 gold rally was a cyclical peak or merely a pause in a larger bull market, and what that means for gold, silver, miners, and related commodities. The host opens by noting that gold has pulled back from its January 2026 peak while miners still show record margins, record free cash flow, and strong balance sheets, but sentiment has weakened. Lobo Tiggre says he is not an economist and frames the macro backdrop as stagflation-like: sticky inflation alongside economic weakness, which he views as bullish for gold in principle. He argues that the old knee-jerk response of selling gold on higher inflation or oil headlines is flawed, though it can still dominate short-term price action. On gold specifically, Tiggre says the market is still in a bull phase but now in correction/consolidation that may last longer than people want. …
Tactically, the immediate edge is in watching for an oversold oil reaction if peace/off-ramp headlines hit; gold and miners are not an obvious fresh buy until the market proves the correction is ending. Near-term risk is that gold stays weak or choppy while energy costs and sentiment pressures keep weighing on miners.
Over the next few weeks to months, the base case is still a constructive gold regime, but one that needs time to digest the 2026 high and rebuild momentum. Confirmation comes from stabilization in gold/silver and continued free-cash-flow strength in higher-quality miners; failure would be a deeper roll-over that makes the 2026 peak look more like a cyclical top.
Structurally, Tiggre is arguing for a stagflation-friendly metals regime where gold remains an important portfolio asset and mining supply stays constrained by slow project development. The durable lesson is that the best mining exposure comes from quality operators with real margins, not from assuming every rising metal price automatically creates value.
Gold and silver are still in a period of correction and consolidation that could last longer than people want.
He explicitly says the market may remain in consolidation after the January 2026 peak and that a longer pause would not be surprising.
It is reasonable to ask whether January 2026 was a cyclical peak for gold, similar to 2011 or 1980.
He says the chart pattern has parallels with prior peaks and that the question should not be ignored, even though he does not declare the peak confirmed.
Miners are still producing at record margins and record free cash flow despite gold’s pullback.
He notes that the price decline has not yet destroyed profitability for miners.
Why are miners still under pressure if gold and silver prices imply huge margins?
He says part of the issue is that people like rising prices and dislike corrections, but also that the stocks have not sold off enough to become obvious bargains. He has taken profits earlier and is holding cash, but does not yet feel compelled to redeploy aggressively.
What is your current estimate of inflation and how do you view the inflation backdrop right now?
He says he is not an economist, but he thinks the current mix of economic weakness and sticky high inflation looks like stagflation. He also argues that recent war-driven oil shocks and lingering COVID-era distortions are contributing to the inflation backdrop.
Why are gold and silver reacting so strongly to headline inflation and oil news?
He says this reaction looks like the old knee-jerk pattern returning: people assume war means higher oil, higher inflation, and therefore gold gets sold because it does not pay interest. He thinks that logic is flawed, though it can still influence short-term market behavior.
