Robert Kiyosaki said he remains bullish on gold and silver after a sharp pullback erased much of their January gains, citing veteran investor Jim Rogers’ view that prices could ultimately “go to the moon” despite severe retracements.
Kiyosaki Highlights Rogers’ Long-Term Outlook
Kiyosaki, author of the personal finance bestseller “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” reiterated his constructive stance on precious metals following the recent sell-off. He referenced Jim Rogers — the cofounder of the Quantum Fund and a well-known commodities investor — asserting that Rogers expects gold and silver to climb substantially over the long term.
The remark comes as market participants debate whether the latest correction reflects a temporary consolidation within a longer uptrend or signals a more sustained cooling in metals demand.
Metals Retrace January Gains
Gold and silver fell back after a strong start to the year, surrendering a significant portion of their January advances. The move coincided with shifting expectations around interest rates and broader risk sentiment — factors that typically influence precious metals through their impact on real yields and the U.S. dollar.
Historically, gold and silver markets have experienced pronounced swings around macroeconomic data, central bank guidance, and positioning shifts. The latest retracement has revived discussion about the durability of safe-haven flows and the extent of central bank and investor demand in 2026.
Why It Matters for Crypto Markets
Kiyosaki has frequently grouped gold and silver with bitcoin as alternative stores of value. While correlations vary over time, some investors frame bitcoin and precious metals as macro hedges sensitive to inflation expectations, liquidity conditions, and real rates. Renewed volatility in gold and silver may therefore inform sentiment across broader “hard asset” narratives, even if price drivers diverge between commodities and digital assets.
What to Watch
- Macro catalysts: inflation prints, interest-rate expectations, and dollar strength that can affect real yields and metals pricing.
- Flow dynamics: indications of central bank gold purchases and investor positioning in gold and silver markets.
- Cross-asset sentiment: shifts in risk appetite that may influence perceived hedges, including bitcoin and other digital assets.
The views attributed to Kiyosaki and Rogers reflect their market opinions. Investors typically weigh such commentary alongside macro data and risk considerations.
