He said that the public is finally coming around to investing in gold, but they have chosen exchange traded funds(ETFs) rather than physical metal.
He said that 28 million ounces of silver has been permanently taken off of the silver market. He explained that gold and silver spot price is determined by long and short contracts that are being manipulated by banks to keep prices at a steady low price so that big players can remove more metal from the market. They are preparing for mass inflation and high interest rates caused by upcoming oil shortages due to the war in Iran. Oil and fertilizer shortages will cause food shortages.

There is an oil shock caused by the Iran war and as 20% oil is no longer flowing. Additionally, other energy facilities, like liquified natural gas in Qatar and at least ten mysterious oil refinery and processing plants, have been destroyed around the world. Some of them have nothing at all to do with the Middle East war. Russia is an example as it's been reported that Ukraine has taken out a Russian refinery that will affect the ability of Russia to process oil. Russia is a huge oil producer around the world. The double whammy of less oil and less processing will spike prices.

He said that he believes that when overall consumer price index (CPI) and interest rates go up, gold and silver are going to go up and that's why people are taking it off the market.

Rob Kientz is predicting food and oil shortages at the end of 2026 because about 30% of fertilizer to grow food is transported through the Port of Hormuz while 20% of oil is carried through it. 

He warned that there is likely to be a global food crisis. Most Americans are not prepared for inflation, including a rise in food prices. Only 62% of Americans who are willing and able to work can find jobs, and many of them are lower-paying jobs. 

He said that as the war continues, gasoline prices in the US could rise to $10 per gallon if oil reaches $200 per barrel, heating and cooling prices will skyrocket, and food bills could double or triple. He said that there is likely to be a huge rise in cooking at home and container gardens.
