If you feel like homeownership is slipping further out of reach, you’re not alone. But what if the real story behind soaring housing costs isn’t what you’ve been told?

Think about that for a moment. While your dollar-denominated housing costs...
Something massive happened in the gold market this week — and almost nobody noticed. Russia quietly launched its own gold exchange in St. Petersburg, marking the first serious challenge to London’s century-old control over global gold pricing. This isn’t just another commodity exchange. It’s a seismic shift that could fundamentally alter how gold is valued worldwide. In this week’s Gold Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard connected the dots between several converging trends that suggest we’re witnessing a historic transformation in precious metals markets. Breaking London’s Monopoly For over 100 years, the London Bullion Market Association has essentially dictated...

The Trump administration announced a 50% tariff on all imported copper, sparking a dramatic price drop of up to 18% in after-hours trading. Copper miners faced sharp declines in their stock prices as well. While the tariffs are intended to protect U.S. industries and reduce trade deficits, experts warn they could increase costs for everyday products that depend on copper. The new tariffs go into effect this Friday, impacting a metal that the U.S. imports almost half of, primarily from Chile.

Gold prices dropped following the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady at 4.25% to 4.5% during its July meeting. Strong U.S. economic data, including better-than-expected GDP growth and solid job numbers, suggest rate cuts may be delayed this year. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the need to watch the effects of tariffs before making any changes. Meanwhile, ongoing trade talks between the U.S. and China offer a cautiously optimistic outlook for the markets.

The Federal Reserve announced it will keep interest rates unchanged for the fifth consecutive time. Despite pressure from President Trump to lower rates, many Fed officials prefer to wait and see how recent economic policies, like tariffs, affect inflation before making any changes. Notably, the July meeting was historic as two Fed governors broke with the majority, voting in favor of a rate cut — the first time this has happened in 30 years.

Sub-Saharan African central banks have been boosting gold reserves to hedge against market volatility, with Ghana, Tanzania and Nigeria leading the charge. BMI (a Fitch Group unit) warns this “gold rush” exposes these countries to two major risks: Price risk – A sudden drop in global gold prices would dent the value of their reserves and, for exporters like Ghana and Tanzania, cut export revenues. Liquidity risk – Converting large gold hoards into cash could prove difficult during a crisis, as seen in past balance-of-payments squeezes in India and Argentina. Ghana’s aggressive buying has pushed gold to a third of...

The U.S. dollar continued its rally on Wednesday, reaching its strongest level in two months with a 0.88% climb in the dollar index. Investors reacted to upbeat July ADP numbers—104,000 jobs added versus 76,000 forecast—and an upward revision to June’s ADP reading. Additionally, second-quarter GDP growth outpaced estimates. In afternoon remarks, Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled that the economic backdrop remains robust and that inflation risks from trade tariffs justify keeping rates at a moderately restrictive stance. Those comments curtailed expectations of imminent rate cuts and pressured gold lower.

On July 30, spot gold fell 1.5% to $3,275.92/oz after the Fed held rates at 4.25%–4.50% (9–2) and offered no guidance on when cuts might come. Fed Chair Jerome Powell stressed that September isn’t decided, citing labor-market risks. Strong U.S. data—July private payrolls beat expectations—boosted the dollar and undercut bullion. U.S. gold futures slid 0.8% to $3,352.80. Other metals also tumbled: silver dropped 3.2% to $36.97, platinum plunged 6.6% to $1,303.19, and palladium fell 4.9% to $1,196.75.

President Trump has strongly urged Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates, but economists say this won’t happen in the Fed’s upcoming meeting. The Fed is expected to keep rates steady at 4.25% to 4.5% as it aims to control inflation while the economy remains stable. Despite Trump’s criticism and political pressure, Powell remains cautious, especially with the risk that new tariffs could push prices higher.

As the Federal Reserve prepares to announce its latest interest rate decision, the U.S. economy shows mixed but mostly steady signals. The job market added 147,000 jobs in June, and the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. Consumer sentiment and retail sales are trending up slightly, while mortgage rates and home sales remain steady. Inflation rose to 2.7% in June, and the economy grew by 3% in the second quarter, beating expectations despite a weak first quarter. Most analysts do not expect the Fed to cut rates this week, as trade tensions and inflation continue to weigh on the outlook.

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.
