Summary:
As we dive into the new week, the anticipation is palpable. MarkZ’s Monday Coffee call on January 12, 2025, was filled with insightful commentary and member discussions that shed light on the current state of the financial world. Let’s unpack the key highlights from the call.
The conversation kicked off with members sharing their sentiments about the week ahead. With Basel III going into effect on January 12, 2025, there’s a sense of expectation that the markets are on the cusp of significant changes. Basel III aims to strengthen the regulation, supervision, and risk management of banks, and its implementation has been eagerly awaited.
MarkZ mentioned that there were no new rumors over the weekend, but the anticipation remains high for a potential kickoff in currency-related developments this week, possibly on Tuesday or Wednesday. The bond market is also expected to see interesting movements in the next 48 hours, according to confirmations from other bond holders.
The price of silver hit $86.03 on the morning of January 12, sparking discussions about the potential reasons behind this surge. Some members speculated that the implementation of Basel III could be a contributing factor, as banks are required to be compliant with new regulations regarding their silver holdings.
Notably, a Swiss bank was reported to be short 2.1 billion ounces of silver, and the global silver market is allegedly nearly 20 billion ounces short of sold silver. UBS’s prediction that silver could soon reach triple digits, coupled with calls for shorts to be covered, adds to the excitement and concern in the precious metals market.
MarkZ observed that the current market dynamics seem to be signaling the implosion of fiat currency. Despite the lack of a significant market meltdown, the stage appears set for substantial changes. The transition to an asset-backed currency, potentially gold and silver-backed, could lead to a significant revaluation of metals and a devaluation of fiat currencies.
Discussions around the potential for an RV (Revaluation) continued, with mentions of appointments being made at the end of the month in anticipation of the RV. MarkZ also shared insights from Iraq, where there’s talk of slowing down the implementation of the new customs system to avoid market shocks. Additionally, the 2026 budget being raised to parliament with an exchange rate of 130,000 dinars suggests a built-in mechanism for rate changes, hinting at a potential revaluation.
As we navigate through this eventful week, it’s clear that the financial landscape is poised for significant changes. Whether it’s the precious metals market, the implementation of Basel III, or geopolitical events, there’s much to watch and consider. As always, MarkZ’s advice to consult professionals before making any financial decisions is well-taken.

MZ: I did get confirmations from other bond holders that confirmed the same thing. And more Historical assets are being settled I was told …..which is encouraging. Many things are pointing to currency breaking loose this week.
Member: Silver hit $86.03 this morning
Member: Part of the silver runup this AM may have to do with Basel III going into effect today.
Member: Swiss bank is short 2.1 billion ounces of silver this morning…Swiss banks in big trouble.
Member: the world is nearly 20 billion ounces short of sold silver
Member: Heard that HSBC- London silver market has to exit all silver positions by Jan 31 or face fraud. Silver could be $347 by months end! Or higher!

MZ: When you look at Basel 3 Most banks hold paper silver as assets…..but they are not safe from physical silver shorts.
Member: Costco sold out of all silver in 72 hrs. And the funny thing is, that Costco is like a meter for the middle class and for Costco to sell out of silver they know something coming. People are waking up
Member: Mark, so if we go to an asset baked (Gold & Silver) dollar what happens to the Gold & Silver Market?
MZ: Metals values will go way up and fiat currencies will go way down. There may be short period of uncertainty and things will suddenly become stabilized. At least that is what history has taught us
Member: The big financial meetings in Davos are this week. Trump is going .
Member: Trump is taking the big guns with him to Davos and I don’t mean Powell
MZ: Look for fireworks from Trump at Davos.
Member: Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is being investigated this week.
MZ: Yes….this is interesting…it looks fishy as all get out.……Powell had insane cost overruns in the Multi billions over the renovations of the Federal Reserve. You and I are paying for this renovation. It keeps going hundreds of millions over. Could there be actual fraud going on that needs to be investigated?
Member: Follow the money. Scott Bessent is doing a good job at this so far.

Member: I heard the clarity act was to be signed today
Member: More SCOTUS opinions coming out on Wednesday
Member: Frank26 had a good bank story on his video last night. The guy implied we will have seen the RV before the end of the month.
Member: A guy on Frank26 said he had a bank story saying THEY made an appointment end of month because RV will have happened
Member: on 1-9 (Fri) WG in Olathe Ks said they offer Premier Bankers and will verify foreign currency on site. Gave me their card and said call anytime.
MZ: In Iraq: “Economist: The new customs system needs a gradual approach to avoid system shocks” there is a lot of talk to slow it down instead of bringing it in all at once. (Sarcasm: They have been waiting 15 years but its just to sudden?) but, it will produce short term price fluctuations in the markets. So they may slow the roll put of implementation.
MZ: “ Government Advisor: the 2026 budget is the first law to be raised to the parliament and the exchange rate at 130 thousand.” So that the 1300. Why is this important? Because they are giving us margins here and these margins can change. Remember they put in mechanisms for rate changes. So they put a mechanism in their budget if they revalue….and now they are giving us a spread as well. So there is a built in mechanism for a rate change in the budget. Meanwhile they are protecting the people with built in rates.
Member: I believe when Sudani is officially back as Prime Minister – I bet the RV will go
MZ: I would not at all be surprised.
Member: This week looks to be huge!!!!!!

The host engages with a live chat audience, weaving together real-time commentary and breaking news updates regarding silver and gold price predictions, the political turmoil in Iraq and Iran, the economic implications of currency devaluations, and the U.S. and global responses to these shifts.
Particular emphasis is placed on the extraordinary rise in silver prices, with UBS and other banks predicting unprecedented highs, potentially reaching $300 per ounce. The video also discusses the potential collapse of the Iranian currency amid ongoing protests. The complex political situation in Iraq is analyzed, focusing on the unclear status of leadership and the implications for regional stability.

The video closes with speculation on the strategic moves of major powers and a call for viewers to prepare for a tumultuous and rapidly changing global landscape.
Key Insights
[06:01] UBS’s prediction of silver reaching near $300 per ounce underscores the fragility of fiat currencies and the potential for precious metals to serve as a safe haven amid economic instability. The sharp rise in precious metal prices reflects a loss of confidence in traditional monetary systems and may presage broader financial recalibration.
[18:16] The political uncertainty in Iraq, with conflicting narratives about the roles of Sudani and Maliki, exemplifies the complex interplay of internal factionalism, foreign influence, and the broader instability in the Middle East. These dynamics have significant implications for regional security, energy markets, and global diplomatic alignments.
[31:45] The DOJ investigation into the Fed Chair amid massive renovation cost overruns highlights systemic governance issues within U.S. financial institutions. It exposes vulnerabilities in oversight and potentially politically motivated actions, which could affect market confidence and the credibility of the Federal Reserve.
