On this episode of America’s Gold Authority® Podcast, host Mike Barnes is joined by Philip N. Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve and former Director of the U.S. Mint, and Brad Chastain, U.S. Money Reserve's Managing Director and Global Head of Research, to unpack the intensifying showdown between the Federal Reserve and the White House—and why it’s fueling gold’s momentum.
They examine the mounting scrutiny around Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, including testimony, subpoenas, and political pressure tied to Fed decision-making. The discussion covers why this kind of uncertainty matters beyond headlines, and how it can ripple through markets, influence interest rate expectations, and shape confidence in the financial system.
Diehl and Chastain also break down why the U.S. dollar can actually strengthen during turbulent periods, why that dynamic creates risks in global debt markets, and what a sharp move in currency direction can signal for market participants. This episode highlights why physical gold continues to attract demand as a hedge against instability, inflation concerns, and monetary uncertainty while markets react to shifting policy signals and questions of central bank independence.
As one of the nation’s largest private distributors of government-issued gold, silver, platinum, and palladium products, U.S. Money Reserve brings rare leadership perspective to these conversations. With two former Directors of the U.S. Mint on its leadership team and more than a million clients served, the company provides experienced guidance during periods of geopolitical stress and market disruption.
