Gold, Commodities & the Coming Monetary Reset | Alan O’Sullivan and Ivan Yates

October 9, 2026 · 24 min

Show notes

Is gold the ultimate portfolio insurance — or has its extraordinary rise made it too risky? And could a changing global monetary order reshape how we invest?

In this episode of The MOST Important Thing, Dr Alan O’Sullivan and Ivan Yates examine gold’s role in a diversified portfolio, the central-bank buying driving demand and the question of trust in the US dollar. They also discuss silver, copper, uranium, oil and other real assets, before weighing the opportunities and risks of Bitcoin.

Drawing on conversations with Ronnie Stoeferle, Russell Napier and Justin Huhn, Alan explores what a potential monetary reset could mean for investors — and why portfolio diversification may matter more than ever.
