Cash Holders at Risk as Central Banks Let Inflation Strip Away 50 Percent of Value

A staggering 911,000 U.S. jobs have vanished after a record-breaking revision, and the French government has collapsed. According to Philippe Gijsels, Chief Strategy Officer at BNP Paribas Fortis, these aren't isolated events—they are early signals of a global Fourth Turning, a seismic shift that will define the next decade of economic history.

In this exclusive, no-nonsense interview with Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron, Gijsels returns just one year after accurately predicting the current stagflation cycle. Now, he unveils his unfiltered playbook for what lies ahead in a world where central banks will be forced to let inflation run hot, effectively wiping out the purchasing power of cash savings.

This hard-hitting interview covers:

The real story behind the U.S. job market collapse

The endgame for Europe’s debt crisis post-France collapse

Why Gijsels sees inflation as central banks’ only option

Bold price targets for gold and silver in the next 3–6 months

A deep dive on the Anglo-American and Teck merger

How to choose between physical gold, ETFs, or miners

The one asymmetric grand slam investment for the decade ahead

If you're holding cash, betting on status quo politics, or ignoring commodities—this interview is your wake-up call.
