Historically, the gold miners have led the bullion market in price direction, and right now, the equities are suggesting a rebound in price is underway, said Pierre Lassonde, chairman emeritus of Franco-Nevada.
“Right now, there is a bit of a discrepancy and it started about last week where in fact the gold equities are up when the gold bullion is down, so I’m kind of wondering whether or not we’re right at this particular point in the cycle where the equities are telling the bullion market that maybe there’s a turn coming,” Lassonde said.

Good interview David. Pierre Lassonde was a great choice.
A very genuine humble man.
Gold miners have been going down since August and the S&P 500 has been going up….?
I would say USD going up, means we are heading towards Deflationary Crash in markets.
Coming out other side Gold and Silver miners will be top performers.
It’s going to be a rough 6 months ahead!!
Agree 100%
Is my strategy, but looks like I was early.
David is a star and is worth his weight in gold who ever he works for has got a great deal , top interviewer in the world ,
are you david lins’ bots? why write this comment every day?
@John Smith Why not if it is equally good every day.
Many whine and criticize every day.
But good behavior also includes the praise someone earns.
And maybe it helps to support good interviewers, otherwise one day you have the crap of the mainstream.
Hahahahahaha are you insane
@marcelino Perez best interviewer???? Have you heard his lisp? Can’t even think on the spot
@Little Billy he is an amazing interviewer, Lisp??? it may be wax in your ears. He has demonstrated spontaneous critical thinking skills by clarifying inconsistencies and providing counter examples on many occasions, in a polite yet assertive manner.
I always listen carefully when Pierre talk
he is absolutely right at equities leading bullion, it was the same at the peek in summer
Qa million dollars
David Lin is the most knowledgeable interviewer in the market.
And he is the man with the best manners, and his politeness and friendliness are really pleasant.
@LVPAT Fleming Greetings from grandfather
@Reasonist
Palisades Gold Radio, have heard a few times, not bad, agree
@M B knowledgeable interviewer ! Think about
@marcelino Perez I guess the meaning of ‘knowledgeable’ means something different for everyone. Yes he Does he have a basic understanding of the commodity market – or maybe he just acts like he’s clueless. but does he fail to prepare for his interviews, very clearly yes.
They always smile as they are stealing your $. Madoff was such a nice guy it has been said.
The silver squeeze certainly got me interested in physical silver. I now have a safe and bullion on the way to fill it.
It will pay off. Just not overnight like some people are hoping.
👍 🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙
YES FILL IT UP – IT WILL BE *WORTHLESS* !
@OSCAR 😐👍🙄
you can chain it to your ankle as you jump off the dock as Silver goes to 6 dollars an ounce. This way you can get to the river bottom quicker.
If Gold isn’t selling, it might have something to do with the mark up. People were use to $75 over spot. Now it’s over $100, up to $200. That creates sticker shock.
I think that has more to do with the increasing uselessness of the spot price. Kinda like the CPI is worthless.
Hi David, in resent times, I have seen you become a great interviewer – confident, relaxed and thoughtful in terms of your questions. I look forward to your YouTube interviews.
Resent time? David, back from the future!
Thank you David and Pierre. Very informative interview.
Great work Kitco keep up the good questions and great journalism.
Gold & Silver are the Ultimate form of Payment….The Market is Rigged and The Shorts are the ETF’s
@MC MC are you referring to ETFs? Some are most definitely backed by real products, not just the market price (?)
P.S. love the name 🇨🇳
@theNewMayor Of CrazyTown anything paper / digital as opposed to the physical.
@MC MC 1:1 ratio?? How is that ever gonna happen??
@Redice J easy, silver is more rare than gold, and it is used up every year because it is the most used commodity on earth second only to oil.
@MC MC I think that’s slightly backwards. There’s been around 9 times more silver mined than gold. And silver to gold in the ground is at least 9X.
Wow! Terrific interview. Wonderful insights! Your questions were outstanding David!
Whatever they pay David Lin, it isn’t enough. He is a great interviewer.
For sure and very consistent !
Yes an exceptional interviewer.
true he is very knowledgeable and asks great questions
He is one of the best interviewers I have ever seen – anywhere.
Fascinating interview. Thank you, David.
David is one of the best. He gets deep into the minds of his guests, and ensures that they unpack their points; great for the viewer.
Lassonde is a class act that is very candid. I always learn something of value from him. I also think that David is a pro at probing; which also further enhances the value of the interview.
Always worth watching! You’re a damn good interviewer David. Great questions.
Once again David shows he has done his homework to make his interview of a topnotch guest more relevant to viewers seeking to get a handle on today’s gold environment. Thank you, David. You’re a real pro, and, like many others, I appreciate that.
When gold price manipulation stops (even for just 12 months), the gold price will rise in a substantial way!
