Mark Thornton: Gold Could Rise ‘By Thousands of Dollars’

Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, tells Trey Reich that we are on the on-ramp to the road to hyperinflation, and explains why gold and silver are headed back to new all-time highs. Mark breaks down the real mechanism behind gold's recent pullback during the Iran War: oil prices rising, CPI rising, and expected Fed rate cuts coming off the board. He argues the next Fed move will be a cut, not a hike, and walks through why the Austrian concept of malinvestment makes gold a mandatory portfolio asset until that tension resolves. Mark also points out that gold and silver miners are sitting on their best margins in years, now rivaling the Magnificent 7. He closes with his 2026 outlook: a narrowing gold-silver ratio, and gold prices that could rise by thousands of dollars.
