| Saudi Arabia has terminated its 1974 petrodollar agreement with the United States - the deal that forced every country on Earth to hold U.S. dollars to buy oil. Since then, Saudi Arabia has signed a $7 billion currency swap with China, begun settling oil in digital yuan, and joined China's cross-border payment system, mBridge.
With 10-year Treasury yields pushing toward the 4.4% danger line and global dollar demand in retreat, gold is being repriced. There's one asset that still trades at a steep discount to gold's current price - a rare opportunity to leverage the metal's continued rise.  |

| | Elon Musk has quietly launched a new venture - one that has nothing to do with rockets, EVs, or Neuralink. Trump has issued emergency support to accelerate the rollout, and it's already live in multiple states.
The Financial Times reports Sam Altman is personally calling people to build this for OpenAI. A few little-known companies control the entire supply chain - meaning anyone who wants access must go through them. Their stocks are available to buy right now.  |

When the railroads launched in the 1860s, Andrew Carnegie didn't profit by riding the trains - he got rich owning the steel rails they ran on. The same dynamic may be playing out today around the anticipated $1.75 trillion SpaceX IPO.
Analyst Michael Robinson has identified a tiny, under-the-radar supplier - just 1/60th the size of SpaceX - that he believes sits at the center of Elon Musk's broader AI infrastructure buildout.  |

The petrodollar arrangement that Kissinger brokered in 1974 officially expired in June 2024. China has slashed U.S. Treasury holdings by 45% from peak, and central banks are swapping dollars for gold at the fastest pace since the Cold War.
Porter Stansberry believes Trump is channeling more than $3 trillion toward securing the minerals, chips, and infrastructure that make AI possible - and companies at those chokepoints like Vertiv (up 500%), GE Vernova (up 700%), and Arista Networks (up 750%) are already moving.
Porter's new briefing names one asset to buy today plus five stocks positioned at the narrowest chokepoints of what he calls the Silicon Dollar.  |
