It’s a known fact that precious metals like gold and silver can profoundly affect the US dollar’s performance and value.
Just this year, we saw gold and silver prices jump in late-January, while the US Dollar Index fell considerably around that same time.
In the weeks since, the US Dollar, along with gold, silver, and other precious metals have been noticeably volatile. The choppy movement in precious metals has raised enough eyebrows for some traders to even consider it abnormal.
That’s how Charlie Moon described the way precious metals have been acting when he was on the Chicago Future of Finance Podcast earlier this week…
And he believes it could have ties to the market volatility we’re seeing so far in 2026.
Charlie initially brought up the abnormal behavior in precious metals when he spoke with Oliver Renick about the likely factors impacting the US Dollar’s performance. It led him to outline a bizarre correlation—that he believes could be traced back to how precious metals have been performing—and why it might be one of the driving forces behind recent volatile conditions in the stock market.
