Big prediction from Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki: Gold will go to $25,000

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.'
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…

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.

Your Rs 1 crore flat is now Rs 90 lakh: Investor explains why value is shrinking

What if your 1 crore flat quietly dropped to 90 lakh in value—and you didn't even notice? Akshat Shrivastava, founder of Wisdom Hatch, says this is already happening, not just to homes but to your savings a post on X, he warns that money is losing its real worth because of something called currency devaluation. "Imagine that your 2BHK flat is worth 1 crore. The next year, its value falls to 90 lakh. How would you feel?"advertisementHe added, "What if I tell you: this is actually happening; without you even taking a note of this. One key way this happens is called the devaluation of your currency."WHAT IS CURRENCY DEVALUATION? In simple words, it means your money is losing value. Earlier, currencies used to weaken compared to each other. But today, they're also losing value against things like gold, Bitcoin (BTC), and other limited-supply does this happen? Because governments can print unlimited money and they are doing exactly that. "Governments right now can print as much money as they wish. And, guess what? They are doing it," he practice has been notably observed with the US Federal Reserve's actions post-COVID, where 20% of the country's money supply was printed within a year. "If the rate of money printing is 10%, and your post-tax deposit rate is 6%, your money is losing 4% of its value each year," Shrivastava explained. advertisement With many individuals distracted by daily life, Shrivastava argues that most remain oblivious to these economic shifts. "People don't protest. Because most of them don't bother with economics. Cricket and politics keep them busy."To combat this erosion of wealth, he advocated for investments in assets that resist inflation. "Stocks, (good quality) real estate, gold, and Bitcoin are all hedges," he wrote, though he cautioned that even these are not foolproof if mistimed. Citing Bitcoin, he noted, "If you would have bought BTC on its 2021 high, you would have made 0% returns for 3 years. This is despite the fact that BTC is an asset that the CAGR on BTC over the last 10 years has been 88%."The real challenge, according to Shrivastava, lies not only in selecting the right assets but also in knowing how and when to act. He observed, "Problem is most people don't know how to execute these points: What assets to buy when, how to analyse value, how much to buy, how much cash to keep on the sidelines and how to book profits and rotate capital."Ignoring inflation risks while defending a favourite asset class could lead to significant losses. He warned, "People are too busy proving that their 'asset class' is the best! As a result, every year, their wealth keeps going down (in real terms)."

Gold gains on weaker dollar as US-China talks in focus

US and China set for trade talks in London US dollar down 0.3% against a basket of peers Platinum hits four-year high June 9 - Gold prices rose on Monday, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar ahead of U.S.-China trade talks aimed at resolving tensions, while platinum extended gains for a sixth straight session to scale a four-year peak. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $3,318.76 an ounce, as of 1007 GMT, after dropping earlier in the session to $3,293.29, its lowest level since June 2. U.S. gold futures fell 0.2% to $3,339.70. The dollar fell 0.3% against a basket of peers, making bullion cheaper for holders of other currencies. Investors recognise that drivers of gold, including trade and geopolitical tensions, debt concerns and weak economic growth, remain in place and should continue to support the metal in the months ahead, said Giovanni Staunovo, an analyst at UBS. U.S. and Chinese officials will sit down in London on Monday for talks aimed at defusing the trade dispute between the two superpowers. Stronger-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls data have led investors to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year from two to one in October. Market attention will turn to U.S. CPI data, due on Wednesday, for further clues on the Fed's monetary policy path. Gold, considered a safe-haven asset during political and economic uncertainty, tends to thrive in a low-rate environment. Meanwhile, China's central bank added gold to its reserves in May for the seventh straight month, official data showed. Spot platinum rose 3.1% to $1,201.75, its highest level since May 2021. "It is supported by a combination of tight supply expectations, improving industrial sentiment, and technical follow-through from the broader precious metals rally," said Alexander Zumpfe, a precious metals trader at Heraeus Metals Germany. Spot silver was up 1% to $36.30 per ounce, while palladium rose 2.7% to $1,074.76. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Rupee closes flat ahead of US-China trade talks; ends at 85.63/$

Indian Rupee closed flat against on Monday, even as the dollar slightly fell ahead of the US-China trade talks that are scheduled to happen later today. The domestic currency depreciated 1 paise to end at 85.63 against the greenback, after closing at 85.64 on Friday, according to Bloomberg. The local unit has fallen by 0.06 per cent so far this month, while most Asian currencies gained. The dollar index remained weak as the US and China set to open their second round of trade talks Monday in London. Meanwhile, Beijing has already approved some rare-earth exports to the US, according to reports. The index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, was down 0.35 per cent at 98.83. The positive US jobs data, which provided some relief to the dollar, now pegged back hopes of Fed rate cuts, with interest rate futures pricing in 60% odds of a reduction in or before September, according to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool. Analysts at Nomura see limited support for the currency from a macro perspective due to continued downside growth challenges ahead, along with RBI rate cuts. "Overall, we still expect INR to underperform, and today's actions and the policy/macro outlook do not change this view." A decline in the currency is seen a day after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) delivered a 50 basis points Repo Rate cut and a 100 basis points Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) cut, while shifting its policy stance from "Accommodative" to "Neutral". Markets found reassurance in the Governor's comments, allowing the rupee to appreciate at Friday's close despite the rate cut, according to Anil Kumar Bhansali, head of treasury and executive director at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP. "For now, the rupee appears to be range-bound between 85 and 86, with a potential breakout on either side depending on capital flows."
