Oil Just Crossed a Hundred. The Fed Decides Wednesday.

Brent crossed a hundred dollars for the first time since May

Three weeks ago it sat in the low seventies. West Texas is above ninety-one.

The move came after Houthi forces struck Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, on top of the ongoing disruption at Hormuz and outages in Kazakhstan. President Trump promised expanded action against Iran and vowed to hold Tehran accountable for attacks on commercial vessels.

Asian markets took it badly. The Nikkei fell 2.73%, with Japan and South Korea leading regional losses. The dollar climbed toward a forty-year peak as Treasury yields rose.

Here’s why it lands on your desk: oil is the input price for almost everything that moves. A move this size doesn’t stay in the energy aisle — it shows up in the inflation number, and from there in what you earn on savings and pay on debt.

He Sent a Camera to an Anthropic Site. Then He Zoomed In.

I’m Jeff Brown —

Last week, my team obtained footage from a site connected to one of the hottest AI companies in America.

At first...

Nothing seemed unusual.

Just another heavily secured technology campus.

But when we zoomed in...

Everything changed.

What we discovered may explain why Amazon, Google, and some of Silicon Valley’s biggest players have poured billions into Anthropic.

Frankly...

I wasn’t prepared for what I saw.

Now I want you to see it for yourself.

September odds jumped from sixty-eight to eighty percent

Oil-led inflation fears moved the Fed math faster than any speech could.

The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.70%. The European Central Bank held at 2.25% and Christine Lagarde kept a September hike on the table, saying inflation risks tilt to the upside. The FOMC meets July 28 and 29 — Kevin Warsh’s first real decision as Chair.

If you hold bonds, CDs or a mortgage you were planning to refinance, this is the number that decides your next twelve months — not the headline about oil.

Gold is defending four thousand dollars, and central banks are still buying

The metal slipped toward $4,028 as the dollar strengthened — but a record 45% of central banks plan to buy more within a year.

Rising real yields make non-yielding assets less attractive in the short run, which is the entire reason for this week’s pressure. Underneath that, official demand has not budged. Major Chinese banks also halted retail paper-gold trading, a structural shift toward physical price discovery.

The reason it matters: the same force pushing gold down this week — higher rates — is the one the institutions are buying against. They are not trading the month. They are positioning for the decade.

A New Law Is Moving 382 Trillion Dollars Onto a Different Network

Editor’s Note: A little-known law now on the books could force $382 trillion onto an entirely new financial network by 2027. One tiny, overlooked position sits directly in the path of that migration. Click here to see the full research or read more below…

Everyone’s heard of BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs.

Almost nobody’s heard of the small position our research team has zeroed in on that sits dead center of the largest money migration in US history.

Here’s the story…

Trump just signed a new law forcing America’s entire $382 trillion financial system to move onto a new, faster, more secure money network by April 2027.

In other words, every bank, brokerage, and fund manager has to decide how they plug in.

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, already calls it “the next major evolution in market infrastructure.”

Our research has identified one small, overlooked position tied to this policy-driven migration.

See why BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Goldman are all converging on this one position

Yet most retail investors haven’t heard of it since institutional buys often happen before mainstream coverage catches up.

Then it’s too late.

Bloomberg and CNBC have both reported that the largest custodians on Wall Street BNY Mellon, State Street, JPMorgan are already backing up the truck, quietly positioning themselves before the news goes mainstream.

Right now, it trades for pennies compared to where institutional demand could push it.

But once this migration is complete, the early-mover advantage disappears.

So you don’t have long to act.

You don’t need a fortune to get started.

In fact, less than $500 is enough for most investors to take a position.

The full case, including the name, is laid out in a free report.

P.S. The April 2027 compliance deadline means every major bank must complete migration testing by Q3 2026. That’s when institutional buying could accelerate and the current price may not survive it. Click here to see why this one stood out

Intel just posted its fastest revenue growth in fifteen years

Revenue of $16.13 billion against $14.42 billion expected, with earnings of 42 cents versus 21 forecast.

The stock rose over 3% in premarket. It lands one day after Alphabet beat on cloud revenue — up 82% year over year — and fell 7% anyway, because capital spending grew alongside it. Tesla dropped 14% on mixed numbers.

The pattern this week is consistent: the market is paying for companies that build the infrastructure and punishing those that merely spend on it.

“They ARE the Problem” — Kiyosaki on Central Banks

When a friend asked Robert Kiyosaki why he buys gold and silver, here’s what he said:

“The world economy is in great trouble, and I do not trust our leaders or central banks to solve the problem. In fact they ARE the problem and things like debt and inflation will only go up.”

Read that again.

The people in charge of “fixing” the economy are the ones who broke it.

They printed trillions. They created the inflation. They destroyed the purchasing power of your savings.

And now they’re holding rates at 3.5-3.75% while telling you everything is fine.

Robert doesn’t believe them. Neither does Jim Rogers.

That’s why Robert just announced — to 443,000 people on X — that he bought MORE gold and silver during this crash.

Not less. More.

“Gold and silver are going to the moon!!!!”

He’s not hoping. He’s positioning.

One streaming stock could deliver 3X-5X silver’s gains when the “moon shot” happens. Same margins. Same leverage. Zero mining risk.

The central banks are the problem.

Gold and silver are the solution.
