As of April 1, 2026, the financial world is grappling with a radical "regime change" that has shattered the long-held expectations of a 2026 monetary easing cycle. In a dramatic series of moves during the final week of March, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan (TYO:
The events of March 19, 2026, serve as a stark reminder that even the most established market correlations can break under extreme stress. The 5.9% drop in gold and 8.2% slide in silver amidst a burgeoning energy war have forced a re-evaluation of the "safe-haven" narrative. The primary
