What a Gold Revaluation Could Mean for the U.S. and the Dollar

The U.S. government officially owns over 8,100 tonnes of gold—the largest gold reserve in the world. But surprisingly, it still values this gold at an outdated price of $42 per ounce, a number set back in the 1970s. This undervalues its gold holdings on paper at just $11 billion, while in reality, at today’s prices (over $3,000/oz), they would be worth closer to $765 billion. So why hasn’t the U.S. updated its gold valuation? Because a gold revaluation would send a clear message: the U.S. dollar has lost significant value. That’s not something policymakers are eager to admit. Still, during […]

Perth Mint Gold Scandal: Mint Regains Global Confidence

The Perth Mint still has a strong reputation around the world, despite some past issues, according to a top executive at the World Gold Council. In 2023, an investigation found that the mint sold gold to China that was 99.99% pure, which met global standards but did not meet China’s stricter rules for silver content. The investigation also uncovered problems with how the mint handled anti-money laundering (AML) rules. In response, the Perth Mint started a $34 million program to improve its AML systems. This included updating 60,000 customer records. Chairman Sam Walsh admitted to the past problems and said […]

Gold Price Drops Below $3,350 on Strong U.S. Jobs Report

Gold price drops below $3,350 on Friday as new U.S. labor data revealed stronger-than-expected job growth in May. The Nonfarm Payrolls report showed 139,000 new jobs added, beating forecasts of 130,000. Although the unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, the surprising job gains gave the U.S. Dollar a temporary lift. This eased pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates soon — typically a bullish factor for gold. However, earlier labor market data this week pointed to underlying weakness, leaving the broader policy outlook uncertain. Thursday’s phone call between Chinese and U.S. officials helped ease short-term fears of a […]

Gold Miner ETF Outflows Despite Record Rally

Even as gold hits record highs and mining stocks outperform the market, investors are quietly selling off their shares in gold miner ETFs. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF is up 57% in 2025, but it has seen net outflows in every month except May. Sprott’s ETF faced outflows too, despite bullion’s new highs. According to Sprott CEO John Ciampaglia, investors are cashing out into strength rather than pouring new money into the sector. This behavior suggests profit-taking and potential caution around future mining stock valuations. Gold Miner ETF outflows are happening for a few key reasons. Many gold-mining companies spent […]

Silver and Platinum Price Surge Fueled by China, India Demand

Silver has surged to a 13-year high, and platinum is also gaining ground, driven by rising global demand and tightening supply. Strong buying activity in India and China is fueling the rally, with silver playing a key role in solar panel production and platinum used in vehicles and lab equipment—making both essential industrial metals. In addition to solid fundamentals, geopolitical tensions are also boosting prices. Gold, often seen as a safe haven, is up 28% this year, adding momentum to the broader precious metals market. If these trends hold, silver may attract more interest from retail investors, while platinum could […]

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

Gold prices edged higher on Friday, positioning the precious metal for a weekly gain of 2.1%. This rise follows encouraging U.S. economic data that has reinforced expectations of potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Gold, a classic safe-haven asset, typically performs well during times of economic or political uncertainty, especially in a low-interest-rate environment. Meanwhile, silver initially surged to a more than 13-year high, driven by strong industrial demand and ongoing supply shortages. Although it later dipped slightly by 0.1%, its momentum—alongside rising gold prices—highlights continued bullish sentiment in the broader metals market. U.S. gold futures rose slightly […]
