Grant Williams returns to The Jay Martin Show for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from silver market volatility to the deeper forces reshaping currencies, trade, and global power. From China’s export policies and US–China trade tensions to the slow, structural erosion of dollar dominance, Grant draws on history to explain how reserve currencies actually transition, why these shifts are gradual rather than catastrophic, and what it all means for investors navigating a changing world.
