Fed cuts and rising inflation could see gold above $4,000, silver above $50, platinum and palladium above $1,800/oz this year – RJO Futures' Pavilonis

If the Federal Reserve moves to restart the rate-cutting cycle on Wednesday, the combination of a cheaper dollar, rising consumer inflation, and tariff-driven supply shortages could deliver a 1970s-style economy where not just gold but silver, platinum, and palladium make new highs by year-end, according to Daniel Pavilonis, senior commodities broker at RJO Futures.

Silver And The Leveraged AGQ ETF Product

Silver is poised to challenge its 1980 and 2011 highs, driven by persistent supply deficits and strong investment demand. The ProShares Ultra Silver ETF offers leveraged exposure, delivering outsized gains during silver rallies, but carries significant risk from time decay and volatility. AGQ's structure, using swaps and options, makes it suitable for short-term trading, not long-term holding, due to potential for rapid value erosion.

3 Dividend Stocks I'm Buying As Irrational Exuberance Takes Over

Current market conditions reflect irrational exuberance, with surging valuations in stocks, precious metals, crypto, and collectibles reminiscent of past bubbles. Conflicting economic signals persist: inflation data is mixed, the labor market is weakening, but affluent consumer spending and bank lending remain resilient. Dividend growth investing remains my preferred strategy, with a focus on high-quality REITs, utilities, and my favorite cash equivalent ETF.
