Gold Price Surge: Safe Haven Rally on Ukraine War, U.S. Tariffs

Gold is making headlines as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid rising global tensions and economic uncertainty. With geopolitical conflicts escalating and concerns mounting over U.S. fiscal stability, gold is once again proving its value as a protective hedge in volatile times. Gold is flexing its muscles again, nearing $3,400/oz, thanks to rising global risks. The metal is benefitting from increased demand for safety assets as investors react to renewed Ukraine-Russia conflict and a spike in U.S.-China trade tensions. Ukraine’s recent military strikes deep into Russian territory and U.S. tariff hikes on metals are fueling uncertainty — conditions where gold...

India Gold Demand Slump Deepens as Asia Faces Soaring Prices

The India gold demand slump is worsening as soaring prices and seasonal factors like the early monsoon continue to weigh on buying activity. India’s gold market is seeing deepening discounts as local prices approach all-time highs, discouraging consumer demand. Dealers are now selling gold at up to $56 below official rates — nearly double last week’s discount. Seasonal factors like the early monsoon, combined with already high interest rates across Asia, have further weakened physical gold buying. This trend reflects how macro conditions and seasonality can sharply influence retail gold demand in major markets. While the India gold demand slump...

US Treasury Yields Jump as Hot Jobs Data Fuels Rate Expectations

US Treasury yields climbed on Friday after new jobs data showed stronger hiring than expected. The 10-year yield rose over 9 basis points to 4.486%, while the 2-year increased 11 basis points to 4.034%. The 30-year yield moved up more than 5 basis points to 4.941%. Higher yields typically suggest investors anticipate tighter monetary policy, potentially due to inflation risks or stronger economic activity. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 139,000 jobs in May, surpassing the consensus forecast of 125,000 from economists polled by Dow Jones, according to data released Friday morning. The unemployment rate remained steady at 4.2%. This stronger-than-expected jobs...

Oil Price Rebound: Trade Optimism Lifts Crude After Two-Week Slump

Oil markets rebounded this week after two straight weeks of losses, thanks to renewed trade discussions between the U.S. and China—the world’s two largest economies. A positive phone call between Presidents Trump and Xi reignited hopes for a potential trade deal, driving optimism about future oil demand. Brent crude rose 2.2% for the week, while WTI surged 4.1%. Canada’s re-engagement in trade talks with the U.S. added to the upbeat sentiment. These developments suggest a more stable economic outlook, which may influence commodity investors and global growth forecasts. The oil price rebound remains volatile as markets react to ongoing tariff...

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...

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.
