Fed's Preferred Inflation Gauge Shows Mixed Signals in November

Markets are closely watching this week’s inflation data as the Federal Reserve faces mounting pressure to cut interest rates. The July Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, due Tuesday, is expected to show inflation rising to 2.8% annually, up from 2.7% in June, with tariffs driving the acceleration. The nomination of Stephen Miran to the Fed Board adds another voice potentially favoring rate cuts, as economists predict the Fed may need to act by September to avoid multiple dissenting votes. Meanwhile, retail sales data on Friday will provide crucial insight into consumer spending strength amid these economic crosscurrents.

President Trump’s aggressive trade policies and tariff regime are challenging the US dollar’s long-standing role as the world’s primary reserve currency. While the dollar currently dominates global transactions—used in 90% of foreign exchange trades and making up nearly 60% of government reserves worldwide—Trump’s approach to reshaping international trade is causing governments and investors to reconsider their reliance on US assets. This shift could reduce America’s economic leverage and its ability to fund budget deficits through foreign investment, potentially ending a key advantage the US has enjoyed since World War II.

Gold faces a critical test at $3,351/oz – a break above this level would confirm the uptrend continues. Last week saw mixed signals: new tariffs were implemented, UK and India central banks made cautious policy moves, and US economic data weakened even as strong corporate earnings lifted stocks. The biggest story was a record price gap between COMEX gold futures and London spot prices, caused by new 39% US tariffs on Swiss exports. Switzerland refines most of the world’s gold, but the tariffs didn’t clearly exempt gold bars (1kg and 100oz sizes), creating market chaos. The White House plans to...

Perth Mint Gold Scandal: Mint Regains Global Confidence

The White House plans to issue an executive order to clarify confusion about gold bar tariffs after the U.S. Customs and Border Protection indicated that popular 1-kilogram and 100-ounce gold bars would be subject to country-specific import tariffs. This ruling stunned the gold industry, with Switzerland facing a potential 39% tariff, prompting some companies to pause gold deliveries to the U.S. The White House called the tariff concerns “misinformation” and promised clarification, causing gold futures to pare gains after initially hitting record highs. The uncertainty has disrupted global gold supply chains between major hubs in Switzerland, London, and New York.

US Gold Tariffs Hit 39% for Swiss Bars

Gold futures retreated Monday after the Trump administration promised to clarify “misinformation” about new tariffs on gold bars that had sent prices soaring to record highs last week. The confusion stemmed from a US Customs ruling suggesting certain gold bars would face import duties, causing futures to spike over $100 above London spot prices on Friday. While gold has gained about 30% this year amid trade tensions, the market remains on edge awaiting long-term clarity on the precious metal’s tariff exemption status. Traders are also watching Tuesday’s inflation data for clues about Federal Reserve rate policy, which could significantly impact...

U.S. Treasury yields are set to diverge, with longer-term rates rising while shorter-term rates fall, according to a Reuters survey of nearly 50 bond strategists. The 10-year Treasury yield, currently at 4.27%, is expected to climb to 4.30% and remain there through next year, driven by concerns over persistent inflation from tariffs—now at their highest levels since the Great Depression—and a surge in government debt issuance. Meanwhile, the 2-year yield is projected to drop from current levels to 3.50% within a year as markets price in Federal Reserve rate cuts following weak employment data. This divergence will steepen the yield...

How to Set Up a Precious Metals IRA with GoldSilver

Gold experienced a significant decline of 1.4% on Monday, falling to $3,350.94 per ounce after reaching recent highs above $3,400. The drop came as markets unwound their initial reaction to reports of U.S. tariffs on 1 kg gold bullion imports, with the White House promising to clarify its stance through an executive order. Additionally, easing geopolitical tensions due to expectations of a potential Ukraine-Russia peace deal have reduced safe-haven demand for gold. Investors are now focused on Tuesday’s consumer price index data, which could strengthen the case for Federal Reserve rate cuts if inflation comes in lower than expected, potentially...

U.S. Slaps 39% Tariff on Swiss Gold Bars — Chaos Erupts in Global Bullion Markets

A shockwave just tore through the gold market. The United States has imposed a 39% import tariff on Swiss-refined 1 kg and 100-ounce gold bars — a move that blindsided traders, rattled refineries, and sent COMEX gold futures surging to record highs above $3,500/oz.  On the latest episode of The Gold Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down why this unprecedented policy decision could disrupt not just bullion flows, but the entire global financial system. “This is the type of stuff that can cause another global financial crisis,” warns Maloney. “Those without gold or silver could get hurt...

The Swiss Precious Metals Association (ASFCMP) has responded to the U.S. imposing a 39% tariff on gold imports and clarifying that 1kg and 100oz gold bars are not exempt from these tariffs. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection classified these Comex-deliverable gold bars under a code that is subject to tariffs, affecting imports from all countries, not just Switzerland. ASFCMP President Christoph Wild expressed concern about the impact on international gold flows and the historic gold trade relationship between Switzerland and the U.S. The association is engaging with Swiss authorities, the London Bullion Market Association, World Gold Council, and U.S....

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.
