Robert Kiyosaki offers blunt gold and silver forecast
Given the backdrop, it's little wonder that folks are heading to safe havens. Gold and silver have particularly benefited from the rush to safety this time because investors are increasingly nervous about owning other safe-haven alternatives like Treasuries and the U.S. Dollar.
Foreign investors are major owners of Treasuries, and the U.S. Dollar has historically benefited from global trade imbalances. Given the trade war, foreign interest in financing the U.S. mountain of debt via Treasuries has slid, and their need for U.S. Dollars has declined.
The setup has created a perfect storm driving demand for precious metals.
"In 2025 credit card debt is at all-time highs. U.S. debt is at all-time highs. Unemployment is rising. 401ks are losing. Pensions are being stolen. USA may be heading for a GREATER DEPRESSION," wroteKiyosaki on X. "For those who take action today, when the crash crashes, those who invest in just one Bitcoin, or some gold, or silver…. You may come through this crisis a very rich person. It’s not too late, if you take action."
Kiyosaki is confident that the U.S. economy is destined for a painful reckoning. If he's correct, then precious metals may remain in vogue, helping them climb to even loftier levels.
"I strongly believe, by 2035, that... Gold will be $30k and silver $3,000 a coin," wrote Kiyosaki.
Those are pretty shocking forecasts, particularly given that gold currently trades at about $3,300 and silver trades at $33. Nevertheless, Kiyosaki appears to be putting his money where his mouth is, especially regarding silver.
"I am buying more silver eagles today," wrote Kiyosaki. "Silver is still 50% below its all-time high….today about $35. I believe silver will 2X to $70 this year."
