Gold, Silver & Diesel Shortages: Kai Hoffmann Discusses What Comes Next | Sprott Money
In this Ask the Expert podcast, Andrew Sleigh speaks with Kai Hoffmann about gold and silver prices, central-bank policy, European inflation, national gold reserves, stablecoins, CBDCs, energy shortages, and the forces that could shape precious metals through the rest of 2026 and into 2027.
Kai explains why the current gold price remains attractive for mining companies, what rising rates could mean for gold prices, and why physical ownership still matters as financial systems become increasingly digital. The conversation also examines the price of silver, growing institutional interest in precious metals, geopolitical risks between the United States and China, and concerns surrounding diesel and energy supplies.
