Clash of the Gold Titans

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire explains why gold sells off during market crashes, revealing that short-term speculators are being forcibly liquidated in an orchestrated effort to mask gold’s safe haven strength and stability.

Andrew highlights that while gold’s price is still driven by paper markets, control is shifting towards Eastern physical exchanges, where real demand, supported by Basel III compliance, is starting to reflect the growing strength of physical gold.
