US gold reserves value: antique government ledger showing $42.22 per ounce statutory price alongside stacked gold bars worth over $1 trillion at today's market price

The US Has Over $1 Trillion in Gold. Washington Carries It on the Books at $11 Billion.

The US government holds more gold than any entity on earth. At market prices, that stockpile is worth over $1 trillion. On the government's books, it is worth $11 billion. The gap between those two figures is not an accounting error — it is what happens when a monetary system abandons hard money and never updates its own math....
A gold bar resting on a financial screen showing a declining price chart, representing today's drop in gold prices following strong US jobless claims data.

187,000 Jobless Claims. The Lowest of 2026. Here Is What It Means for Gold.

US initial jobless claims fell to 187,000 for the week ending July 18, 25,000 below consensus and the lowest reading of 2026. Gold fell to session lows immediately. Here is the exact four-step mechanism behind the move....
Oil tanker fire on the Red Sea at night, representing the Houthi attack on Saudi tankers that pushed Brent crude to a six-week high and drove the gold price lower on July 23, 2026.

A War Just Expanded Into a New Shipping Lane. Gold Fell. Here Is Exactly Why.

Gold fell 1.6% today as Houthi militants attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea — opening a new front in the Iran war. The paradox: a war just got bigger, and gold went down. Here is the four-step mechanism connecting the attack to the gold price, and why the same force suppressing gold short-term is building the long-term case for physical metal....

Gold Is About to Trade 24/7. A Prediction Market Just Filed to Make It Never Expire.

CME starts 24/7 gold futures trading this Sunday. Kalshi just filed for gold contracts that never expire. Here is what both changes mean for physical gold owners....
Gold price today: triptych showing a military drone at sunset over distant fires, the Federal Reserve building at dusk, and an active trading floor with a rising gold price line threading across all three panels

Gold Hit a Two-Week High This Morning. Three Forces Arrived at Once.

Gold climbed to a two-week high on July 22, 2026, rising more than 1% to near $4,130. Three forces arrived at the same time: US airstrikes on Iran entered their 11th consecutive night, the Federal Reserve's blackout period began, and thin summer positioning is amplifying every safe-haven inflow. Here is the mechanism behind each one — and why all three together matter more than any single catalyst....
A gold American Eagle coin and a silver American Eagle coin stand side by side against a deep navy blue Federal Reserve building backdrop, representing gold and silver price movements ahead of the FOMC July 2026 rate decision.

The Fed Meets July 29. Gold Says Hold Is Already Priced In. Silver Says Something Else.

Gold is holding above $4,000 and silver is surging nearly 5% on Tuesday. Both metals are pricing the July 29 Fed hold. But silver's outsized move points to something more — and the number that moves gold most this month may not arrive until the morning after the decision....
Why is silver up today — silver bullion bars in the foreground outpacing gold bars behind them, July 21, 2026

Silver Is Up Nearly 5% This Morning. Here Is Exactly Why.

Silver is up nearly 5% this morning as mediators proposed a 10-day ceasefire between the US and Iran — and the mechanism behind the move is specific, teachable, and worth understanding before the next one. Here is the full chain: from oil prices to inflation expectations to the Federal Reserve's September meeting, and what it means for long-term holders....
Split image contrasting gold futures trading screens showing a margin call with a physical 999.9 fine gold bar — illustrating why China's paper gold trading shutdown shifts price discovery toward physical demand.

China Ends Paper Gold Trading July 24. For Physical Holders, That’s a Confirmation.

China's largest banks are terminating retail leveraged gold trading on the Shanghai Gold Exchange after July 24, 2026. Here's what the shutdown removes from the market — and why it confirms the structural case for physical gold ownership....
Silver bar resting on a dark slate surface in front of a calendar with July 28 and 29 circled in red marked FOMC Meeting, with oil refinery flames visible in the background — silver price today rising despite oil surge as FOMC hold probability shields the metal from inflation pressure.

Silver Is Up 1.5% Today. Oil Is Up 3%. Those Two Moves Shouldn’t Coexist. Here’s Why They Do.

Silver rose 1.55% today even as crude oil surged 3% on fresh U.S.-Iran airstrikes — the inverse of what the standard oil-inflation-hike chain predicts. The reason: the July 29 FOMC hold is already priced above 85%, neutralizing today's oil move as a rate catalyst. Here is the exact mechanism behind the broken correlation....

Hong Kong Just Ran Its First Gold Settlement. The Banks Who Did It Also Run London’s.

Hong Kong's Precious Metals Central Clearing Company ran its first institutional gold settlements on July 7, 2026. Four of the banks behind it — HSBC, JPMorgan, UBS, and Citi — also run London's gold clearing system. Here is what that tells you about where gold pricing power is heading....

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.
