BBI June 2025 Q&A — Boom Bust Insiders
Summary
June 2025 session. Markets have recovered from April volatility; new all-time highs being attempted again. Gold has pulled back from 3,100–$3,200. Silver surging with gold. Akhil notes that the gold/silver ratio is compressing (silver outperforming) — late-cycle commodity signal. Phil highlights the upcoming Saturn into Gemini (every 30 years — 1965, 1994/95, 2025) as a recessionary indicator due in 2026. Also discussed: fiscal dominance risk (Trump trying to control Fed, force QE) and bird flu 30th anniversary (1996 discovery → 2026 = cyclical emotional event potential).
