How Gold Price Is Set: The East-West Tide Explained
For 90 years, gold has moved in a recurring tide between Western financial markets and Eastern physical holders. Understanding who sets the price — and why that mechanism is shifting — is the most useful mental model a gold investor can carry....
Gold Is Down 9%. The CPI Print That Could Either Extend the Drop — or End It.
Gold is down 9% from its April high near $4,800. Two forces drove the pullback: the Iran–Israel ceasefire unwound the geopolitical risk premium, and a blowout jobs report pushed Fed rate-hike odds to 68–70% by December. The May CPI print is the next catalyst. Here's the mechanism behind the move — and what each scenario means for physical holders....
Gold Price News: Goldman, China, CPI, and the Fed Explained
Goldman Sachs just pushed every 2026 rate cut to 2027. China's central bank bought gold for the 19th month in a row. CPI drops Wednesday. A fragile ceasefire is holding — barely. And silver just had its worst week relative to gold in months. Here is what each story means for precious metals investors....
Does Physical Gold Have Counterparty Risk? The Facts
When you deposit money at a bank, you are not storing it. You are lending it. Physical gold counterparty risk is zero because allocated metal is not a claim on any institution — it cannot be frozen, diluted, or devalued by policy. This explainer covers the mechanism and how to structure both approaches correctly....
Gold Near $4,330 as Rate-Hike Bets Hit 70% and China Acts
Five forces are moving gold and silver right now. Strong U.S. jobs data has pushed Fed rate-hike odds above 70%. China's biggest banks raised gold trading margins to 120% — pushing leverage below 1x. The People's Bank of China extended its buying streak to 19 straight months. Iran announced an end to its military operation against Israel, steadying metals after last week's 5% pullback. And elevated oil is keeping inflation expectations alive. Here is what each one means for long-term precious metals holders....
Gold Is Down 22% — The Same Drop as 2022. The Floor Is Not the Same.
Gold has fallen 22% from its January 2026 all-time high of $5,589 — the same magnitude as the entire 2022 Fed hiking cycle. But in 2022, the Fed delivered 525 actual basis points of rate increases. Today, markets are pricing roughly a 43–50% probability of a single speculative hike that hasn't happened yet. Same number. Very different floor. Here's what the gap between those two corrections is telling long-term holders of physical gold....
Silver Falls 6% on Jobs Beat. The Six-Year Deficit Didn't.
Silver fell nearly 6% after May's blowout jobs report sent rate hike odds to 67% and the 10-year Treasury to 4.54%. Gold dropped too — but only half as much. Here's why: silver runs on two engines. The jobs report hit the monetary one hard. The industrial one — solar, EVs, AI infrastructure — didn't flinch. And the World Silver Survey 2026 deficit of 46.3 million ounces? Unchanged. One Friday's data moves prices. It doesn't move ounces....
Why Is Gold Still a Safe Haven? Switzerland's Biggest Refiner Just Answered.
Valcambi's incoming CEO processed 1,000 tonnes of gold last year for national banks and bullion traders. Here's the institutional case for why gold remains a strategic safe haven in 2026 — and what central bank behavior reveals about where the global monetary system is heading....
Gold Rate Hike Fears Are Weighing on Prices. Here's the Full Picture.
Gold slipped to $4,448 this week as rate-hike fears and Middle East tensions drove a 2% weekly loss. Central banks bought 244 tonnes in Q1 2026 — yet retail demand has cooled sharply. With May jobs data due today and gold holding just above its 200-day moving average, here is what five key developments mean for anyone holding precious metals right now....
Gold at $4,480: Physical Demand Hits a 50-Year Milestone
Central banks reshape gold markets through the most concentrated sovereign buying in decades — but that's only one of five forces moving gold right now. Physical investment is overtaking jewelry demand for the first time on record. Russia's figures don't add up. China just hit the brakes. Here's what's driving the market....

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.
