Perth Mint Gold Scandal: Mint Regains Global Confidence

Australia’s central bank is keeping a close eye on inflation risks, even as recent data shows price growth remains within target. Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Michele Bullock warned that high labor costs and weak productivity could still push inflation higher. While the board is aligned on direction, members were divided on timing, with some favoring an immediate rate cut. Bullock emphasized the need for more data before making further moves and highlighted global uncertainty—especially from ongoing trade tensions—as a key concern.

Hungary’s inflation rate rose to 4.6% in June, driven by higher food, energy, and service costs. While this matched economists’ expectations, it marked the highest inflation level since March. Despite government efforts to cap prices on essentials like food, energy, and telecom services, consumer prices continue to rise. Food alone saw a 6.2% increase, with staples like eggs and flour jumping over 20%. The central bank has held interest rates steady for nine consecutive months, signaling ongoing caution amid persistent inflation and weak economic growth.

Gold Falls Below $3,350 as U.S. Jobs Report Surprises to the Upside

Australia’s central bank surprised markets by keeping interest rates steady at 3.85% instead of cutting them as expected. Most investors had predicted a rate cut due to slowing inflation and weak consumer spending, but the Reserve Bank of Australia said it needs more data before easing. The decision sent the Australian dollar higher and bond markets lower. While the bank still sees a rate cut in the near future, likely in August, it’s treading cautiously amid global uncertainty and recent trade tensions.

President Trump has announced sweeping new tariffs: 25% on goods from Japan and South Korea, and up to 40% on imports from a dozen other countries. Set to take effect August 1, the move has reignited fears of global trade disruptions. Trump warned that any retaliatory tariffs would be met with even higher U.S. duties. While framed as a strategy to revive domestic manufacturing, the tariffs are already shaking markets, boosting bond yields, and raising recession concerns. Negotiations remain possible, but uncertainty is high.

Gold edged lower this week, driven by a spike in U.S. 10-year Treasury yields after President Trump introduced aggressive new tariffs targeting major Asian trade partners. The move—intended to force renegotiation of trade deals—raised concerns about slowing global growth and potential retaliatory moves from China. While rising yields typically reduce gold’s appeal, the economic uncertainty introduced by tariffs could support gold in the longer term. Investors are also eyeing upcoming Fed meeting minutes for hints about future interest rate paths.

A UBS survey of nearly 40 central banks reveals significant concerns about U.S. financial stability. Almost half believe a U.S. debt restructuring is possible, while two-thirds worry about Federal Reserve independence amid criticism from President Trump and White House officials. Despite these concerns, 80% expect the dollar to remain the world’s reserve currency. Central banks are increasingly diversifying into gold, with 67% viewing it as the best investment through 2030. The survey shows growing pessimism about the global economy, with many expecting stagflation rather than a soft landing.

President Trump’s trade timeline is shifting. While tariff letters were delivered Monday with a July 9 progress deadline, countries won’t actually pay tariffs until August 1. This gap has confused financial markets. Administration officials are showing flexibility with deadlines. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and economic adviser Stephen Miran suggest countries negotiating in good faith could get extensions, potentially through Labor Day. Despite recent political wins, major trade deals with the EU, India, and Japan remain unfinished—only the UK and Vietnam have framework agreements so far.

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.
