The U.S. dollar saw a modest boost following Donald Trump’s nomination of a new Fed governor. However, the greenback is still set for a weekly decline, reflecting market unease. For gold investors, continued dollar volatility and political uncertainty may keep precious metals in focus as a stable store of value.

A gold IRA is a self-directed retirement account holding physical bullion. This guide covers where the 99.5% purity standard genuinely comes from, why the American Gold Eagle qualifies at 91.67%, where the metal must legally be stored, and the 2026 contribution limits.
A zero interest rate policy holds the central bank’s short-term target at or near zero. The Federal Reserve did it twice, for nine of fourteen years. But zero rates alone never moved gold. The real policy rate did, and it explains today’s market better than the headline number does.
September rate hike odds fell to roughly 50.3% after Fed Governor Christopher Waller signalled he could support a hold. Gold barely responded. It had already banked a 2.4% gain before he spoke, then slipped. Here is which channel is actually driving the metal, and what August CPI decides.
Speculators are still adding to gold and silver, an Indian tariff quirk is quietly redirecting demand toward Dubai, and three desks cannot agree on September rate-hike odds. Even the exchange running the trades has its own read on why any of this holds into fall.
Barrick is pushing its North American gold IPO from 2026 into 2027. The real cause is a shareholder revolt against Chairman John Thornton, not the price of gold, and it says a lot about equity risk.

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.
