Stephen Flood, director of Goldcore, joins Eddie Hobbs to discuss the surging gold market and its implications for the global economy.

Expect to learn about the recent spike in gold prices, driven by central banks diversifying away from the US dollar, and how this reflects growing concerns about geopolitical risks and the stability of the current financial system. Stephen explains why gold remains a crucial "hedge" against economic uncertainty and offers insights on how to responsibly invest in physical gold.

Discover why Stephen recommends allocating 5-10% of investable assets to gold as "financial insurance" and how this strategy can protect wealth during times of economic turbulence. We also touch on the role of silver as a complementary precious metal investment and discuss the importance of financial sovereignty in an increasingly digital world.

This fascinating conversation weaves together insights on global economics, geopolitics, and personal finance, offering listeners a comprehensive understanding of gold's enduring value in our rapidly changing financial landscape.
