During this inflationary cycle, gold tended to sell off with any hot inflation news. Conversely, mainstream and institutional investors tended to buy when inflation appeared to be cooling. Does this prove gold really isn't an inflation hedge? In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey probes this question. He concludes the proof is in the pudding. In this episode, Mike also gives an overview of last week's Federal Reserve meeting and the central bank's miserable track record on projecting the trajectory of monetary policy.

Gold has had a nice run over the last few months and it's garnered a lot of attention. Silver has kind of gotten lost in the shadow of gold's shine. But as host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, people should be paying attention to silver. It has outperformed gold in this gold bull market and there are plenty of reasons to believe the silver bull has a lot of leg left.
