Big prediction from Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki: Gold will go to $25,000
THE END is HERE:
WHAT if you threw a party and no one showed up?
That is what happened yesterday.
The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up.
So the Fed quietly bought $50 billion of its own fake money with fake money.
The party is over. Hyperinflation is… — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) May 21, 2025

Bestselling author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki , known for his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, doubled down on gold in a post on the social media platform X, predicting a dramatic surge in its price amid economic turmoil. He described the recent U.S. bond auction as a failure and called it a harbinger of financial collapse.'Good news. Gold will go to $25,000. Silver to $70. Bitcoin to $500k to $1 million.'Kiyosaki declared, "THE END is HERE", expressing concerns about hyperinflation, a collapsing bond market, and severe consequences for the global economy.'WHAT if you threw a party and no one showed up? That is what happened yesterday,' Kiyosaki wrote, referencing the U.S. Treasury's recent 20-year bond auction that drew soft demand from investors.This follows the U.S. Treasury Department's struggle to attract buyers for a $16 billion sale of 20-year bonds, reflecting growing investor anxiety over the ballooning national debt and fiscal uncertainty as Congress debates new spending legislation.Stocks and the dollar sold off following the weak auction results, while U.S. Treasury yields rose, signalling market concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability.Kiyosaki elaborated on the issue, stating, 'The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up. So the Fed quietly bought $50 billion of its own fake money with fake money.'The author interpreted this move as a sign of deeper monetary instability continuing. 'The party is over. Hyperinflation is here. Millions, young and old, to be wiped out financially,' he added.His reaction comes on the heels of Moody's downgrade of the United States' sovereign credit rating, which followed earlier downgrades from Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's.In a post made earlier this week, Kiyosaki remarked that the downgrade signifies that 'the US is like a dead-beat dad who is spending borrowed money, without a job, and not taking care of his family.'He warned that such credit downgrades may trigger higher interest rates, pushing the U.S. economy into a recession and potentially leading to unemployment, failing banks, a housing crisis, and even a depression on the scale of 1929.The recent bond auction only intensified those concerns. The auction's poor reception could spur bond market vigilantes, investors demanding greater fiscal discipline, and lead to a harsher investment climate for the U.S. government.Kiyosaki also reiterated his views on personal preparedness and financial independence, urging followers to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset.'I have always recommended people become entrepreneurs, at least a side hustle, and not need job security,' he wrote in a prior post, adding that individuals should invest in income-producing real estate, and accumulate assets like real gold and silver and today Bitcoin.As global uncertainty mounts, markets appear to be reacting accordingly. Gold prices have been on the rise, and Bitcoin recently surged past $111,000, hitting its all-time high, fueled by increased institutional interest and demand for alternatives to fiat currency.Kiyosaki has consistently criticised the U.S. Federal Reserve's policies and the country's departure from the gold standard in 1971, stating that 'each crisis gets bigger because they never solve the problem.' Reaffirming his stance, he concluded his recent post with a stark warning:'THE END I have been warning the world about is HERE. May God have mercy on our souls,' he stated.: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own. These do not represent the views of The Economic Times)

'India projected to maintain fastest growth rate': World Bank holds FY26 growth at 6.3%; global growth rate forecast cut to 2.3%
India will remain the fastest-growing major economy in 2025–26 with a projected GDP expansion of 6.3%, the World Bank said in its latest Global Economic Prospects report, while warning that rising global trade barriers and weaker demand from key export partners are likely to dampen external sector momentum. The projection for India remains unchanged from the World Bank's April estimate but marks a downward revision from the earlier January forecast of 6.7%. The multilateral lender cited subdued industrial growth and soft export demand as key reasons for the downgrade, though construction, services and rural consumption were seen holding steady, PTI reported. 'India is projected to maintain the fastest growth rate among the world's largest economies,' the World Bank stated, noting that even with the pressures on trade, the Indian economy's fundamentals remain relatively strong. The global outlook, however, was more pessimistic. The World Bank cut its forecast for global GDP growth in 2025 to 2.3%, down from 2.7% in January. It described this as the weakest performance in 17 years outside of full-blown recessions, attributing the slowdown to policy uncertainty and fragmentation in trade relations—particularly amid heightened tariff actions by the US under President Donald Trump. The Bank also said that average global growth in the first seven years of the 2020s could be the slowest since the 1960s if current conditions persist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Around 70% of global economies saw their forecasts revised down across all regions and income levels. For India, the World Bank expects GDP growth to accelerate slightly to an average of 6.6% over FY27–28, aided by a rebound in exports, especially in services, and continued momentum in construction and consumption. Last week, the Reserve Bank of India retained its GDP forecast for FY26 at 6.5%, citing macroeconomic resilience amid global headwinds. World Bank analysts added that resolving current trade disputes—potentially by halving tariff levels—could raise global growth by 0.2 percentage points over 2025 and 2026. They advised developing economies to diversify trade and pursue broader liberalization to counter the fallout from protectionist measures.

Gold price today: Gold rate goes up. Will it fall soon?
Gold prices edged higher on Tuesday. Spot gold was up 0.3 per cent at $3,336.33 an ounce, after falling to a low of $3,301.54 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures were up 0.1 per cent at $3,357.20, as per a report. Investors awaited more clarity on the US-China trade talks and looked forward to key U.S. inflation data due this week for clues on the Federal Reserve's future interest rate decisions. "Gold found some floor amid dip-buying, though the uptick lacked bullish conviction. Fiscal concerns and Fed rate cut bets are the catalyst for a recovery in the prices," said Jigar Trivedi, senior commodity analyst at Reliance Securities, Reuters reported. Top officials from the world's two largest economies sought to defuse a bitter dispute that has widened from tariffs to restrictions over rare earths, with trade talks extending to a second day in London. The US and China imposed reciprocal tariffs in April, which ignited trade war concerns. But last month, both countries agreed to a temporary pause in tariffs against each other, offering some relief to financial markets.
