A UBS survey of nearly 40 central banks reveals significant concerns about U.S. financial stability. Almost half believe a U.S. debt restructuring is possible, while two-thirds worry about Federal Reserve independence amid criticism from President Trump and White House officials. Despite these concerns, 80% expect the dollar to remain the world’s reserve currency. Central banks are increasingly diversifying into gold, with 67% viewing it as the best investment through 2030. The survey shows growing pessimism about the global economy, with many expecting stagflation rather than a soft landing.

President Trump’s trade timeline is shifting. While tariff letters were delivered Monday with a July 9 progress deadline, countries won’t actually pay tariffs until August 1. This gap has confused financial markets. Administration officials are showing flexibility with deadlines. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and economic adviser Stephen Miran suggest countries negotiating in good faith could get extensions, potentially through Labor Day. Despite recent political wins, major trade deals with the EU, India, and Japan remain unfinished—only the UK and Vietnam have framework agreements so far.

Gold’s 27% price surge since late 2024 has sparked massive interest in gold-backed cryptocurrency tokens. The two dominant players, Tether’s XAUT and Paxos’ PAXG, control 85% of the $2.05 billion tokenized gold market. XAUT saw explosive 172% growth in holders, jumping from 3,104 to 8,466 wallets, while PAXG grew 38% to reach 48,763 wallets. Each token represents one troy ounce of physical gold stored in professional vaults.

Gold Prices Rise on Fed Rate Cut Bets; Silver Hits 13-Year Peak

Gold retreated from recent gains, falling to around $3,310 per ounce as markets digested mixed signals from ongoing trade negotiations. The precious metal’s decline reflects reduced safe-haven demand as multiple US trade partners work toward agreements, with Treasury Secretary Bessent suggesting a potential three-week extension beyond the July 9 deadline for countries still negotiating. Despite this optimism, gold found support from President Trump’s firm stance on imposing higher tariffs on non-compliant nations and his confirmation of sweeping reciprocal tariffs starting August 1. The market is also factoring in strong labor market data from last week, which has dampened hopes for...

President Trump announced a 10% additional tariff on countries that align with “Anti-American policies of BRICS” during the bloc’s summit in Brazil. Though Trump didn’t define these policies, experts believe he’s targeting BRICS’ push to reduce dependence on U.S.-led financial systems and the dollar. BRICS leaders responded by criticizing “unjustified unilateral protectionist measures” that violate WTO rules. The bloc—including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—aims to challenge Western economic dominance. Treasury Secretary Bessent confirmed tariff letters will be sent Monday, with new rates taking effect August 1st for countries without U.S. agreements.

The BRICS nations met in Brazil for a two-day summit where they criticized rising tariffs and military actions in the Middle East, without directly naming the U.S. or President Trump. Key leaders Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin were notably absent from the in-person meeting. The group condemned attacks on Iran and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, while carefully avoiding criticism of Russia’s actions in Ukraine. In response, Trump threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on any country aligning with what he called “Anti-American policies of BRICS.” Brazil, as host, tried to focus on less controversial topics like trade and...

The U.S. dollar strengthened slightly on Monday as markets await clarity on President Trump’s tariff plans. A 90-day moratorium on “Liberation Day” tariffs ends Wednesday, with higher rates set to take effect August 1. Trump announced he’ll name about a dozen countries receiving letters with increased levies and threatened an additional 10% tariff on BRICS-aligned nations. Despite the dollar’s recent gains, it remains near multi-year lows, having declined 10% this year as investors question its safe-haven status.

Why Now Could Be the Perfect Time to Buy Silver

Treasury yields showed minimal movement Monday, with the 10-year yield rising slightly to 4.364% and the 2-year yield dipping to 3.874%. The stability comes as investors digest the Trump administration’s decision to extend the tariff reprieve deadline from this week to August 1. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that countries without trade deals will see tariffs return to April 2 levels if agreements aren’t reached by the new deadline. Adding to trade tensions, President Trump threatened new 10% tariffs on BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), who responded with criticism of U.S. protectionist policies....

Gold experienced a notable decline on Monday, falling 0.9% to $3,303.93 per ounce amid dollar strength and trade uncertainty. The dollar’s 0.2% rise against other currencies made gold more expensive for international buyers, contributing to the pullback. Strong U.S. economic data, including solid job growth, has reduced expectations for immediate Federal Reserve rate cuts, further pressuring gold. President Trump’s approaching July 9 deadline for tariff negotiations adds another layer of complexity, with 10% base tariffs on most countries and up to 50% reciprocal rates scheduled for August 1. Trump also threatened an additional 10% tariff on BRICS nations. While Trump...

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
