How UBS's $3,800 Gold Forecast Impacts Precious Metals Markets

UBS, the Swiss banking giant, recently made waves in the precious metals markets by raising its gold price forecast to $3,800 per ounce by late 2025. If this prediction materializes, that would be a significant 45% increase in 2025. Pretty incredible performance, but how does that stack up against other major years for precious metals?  Understanding UBS’s Bullish Gold Prediction  The investment bank’s dramatic upward revision from its previous target reflects a confluence of factors that could drive gold to historic highs. UBS analysts point to several key catalysts, including anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts, persistent geopolitical tensions, and a...

Why $5,000 Gold May Be Just the Beginning

Goldman Sachs recently made headlines predicting that gold could reach $5,000 per ounce if Donald Trump undermines the Federal Reserve’s independence. But as Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard explain on the latest GoldSilver Show, that estimate may be far too low. In fact, history, central bank behavior, and global buying patterns all suggest much higher levels are possible.  Wall Street Finally Wakes Up  For years, major banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan dismissed gold as an investment. When gold traded at $400 or $700 an ounce, they urged investors to look elsewhere. Now, with gold having surged over 40% in...

Silver Price Forecast 2025 — $42/oz Milestone & 45% YTD Gains

If you’ve been watching silver this year, you already know we’re witnessing something extraordinary. At $42 per ounce, silver has just reached heights not seen in over a decade, and with a stunning 45% gain year-to-date, it’s outpacing nearly every major asset class in 2025.  This silver price forecast suggests the rally is far from over. But here’s what makes this rally different from the ones we’ve seen before — and why Mike Maloney believes we’re still in the early stages of a much bigger move.  Silver Smashes Resistance: What It Means  When silver crossed $42 this week, it wasn’t...

Gold to $5,000? Why Goldman’s Forecast Could Become Reality

Economic conditions today echo the very patterns that have historically ignited major rallies in precious metals: sticky inflation, currency devaluation risks, and rising geopolitical tension.   Gold has already surged approximately 38% this year, reaching $3,643 as of September 2024. Against this impressive backdrop, Goldman Sachs recently projected that the gold price $5,000 could be within reach as early as 2026 if current conditions persist. For investors, it’s a wake-up call to reassess portfolio positioning before the move happens.  Key Takeaways  Federal Reserve Policy and Dollar Weakness  The trajectory toward $5,000 gold will largely hinge on Federal Reserve policy and...

5 Key Drivers of Gold Spot Price Movements

The spot price of gold changes minute by minute, reflecting a constant tug-of-war between markets, policies, and global risks. For investors, the key is recognizing the major gold price drivers that sit beneath those price swings. Understanding these dynamics doesn’t just explain where gold has been — it helps reveal where it could go next, and how it can strengthen a diversified investment strategy.  The gold spot price moves minute by minute during trading hours, shaped by economic data, central bank decisions, and global events. Below, we’ll break down the five most important gold price drivers that consistently move markets. ...

Why Bid-Ask Spreads Matter for Precious Metals Investors

Imagine walking into a gold dealer’s shop. You see gold trading at $2,000 per ounce on the news, but when you ask to buy, the dealer quotes $2,040. When you ask what they’d pay if you were selling, they say $1,960. That $80 difference? That’s the bid-ask spread in action.  The bid-ask spread is the difference between what dealers pay you (the bid price) and what they charge you (the ask price). It’s essentially the cost of doing business in precious metals — and it directly impacts your investment returns. Think of it as the “toll” you pay to enter...

Gold & Silver Liquidity Explained: How It Impacts Your Investment Strategy

When you’re investing in precious metals, it’s not just about price performance — it’s about liquidity. Liquidity determines how quickly and easily you can convert your assets into cash without taking a hit on value. For investors seeking both security and flexibility, understanding the differences between gold and silver liquidity is essential.  Understanding Precious Metals Liquidity  Gold has long been considered the ultimate monetary asset. Its universal recognition, deep markets, and relatively low volatility make it easy to buy or sell virtually anywhere in the world. This gives gold superior liquidity and positions it as the cornerstone of wealth preservation...

Gold Cycles: What History’s Bull Markets Teach Investors

Gold and silver have never moved in straight lines. Their history is written in gold cycles — long stretches of dormancy, interrupted by explosive bull markets where both metals have delivered life-changing gains.   For investors looking to add gold or silver to their portfolio, understanding these gold cycles is essential. It shows how gold and silver respond to inflation, crises, and monetary shifts — and why they remain indispensable wealth protectors today.  The 1970s: Inflation Ignites Gold’s First Modern Super-Cycle  When the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971, gold was set free to trade. The timing could not have...

Elon Musk Loves Silver: How Demand Could Skyrocket in Green Tech

Elon Musk’s silver demand is soaring for a reason. He doesn’t often shout it from the rooftops, but the industries he leads have an unspoken “love” for silver.  Whether it’s powering Teslas, solar panels, or even playing a role in nuclear technology, silver’s unique properties make it a must-have for the green energy revolution. Let’s explore why silver is becoming one of the most critical metals of our time — and why Musk’s vision is fueling its demand.

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.
