A rare disconnect in global gold markets is forcing major banks to take extraordinary measures, flying billions of dollars worth of physical gold from London to New York. The situation emerged after Trump’s tariff threats against Europe caused London’s physical gold prices to trade about $20 lower than New York’s futures market since December. This price gap has put pressure on banks like JPMorgan and HSBC, who typically hold gold in London while selling futures contracts in New York as a hedging strategy. With gold futures rising 11% this year to $2,909 per ounce and potentially approaching $3,000, banks are...

Gold continued its impressive rally, marking its seventh consecutive weekly gain amid escalating trade war concerns. The precious metal rose 0.3% to $2,936.99 per ounce, bringing its weekly advance to 2.6%. President Trump’s recent call for reciprocal tariffs and ongoing economic uncertainty have strengthened gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset, with analysts eyeing the $3,000 mark as the next significant target.

A panel of prominent gold market authorities, led by LBMA Chief Executive Ruth Crowell and featuring industry experts Adrian Ash, Jim Steele, David Gono, and Jeremy East, convened to examine the complex relationship between London and New York gold markets. The discussion focused on addressing crucial questions about market operations and investigating concerns regarding physical gold supply, providing insights into the current state of global gold trading.

The gold-silver ratio represents how many ounces of silver it takes to purchase one ounce of gold. For example, if gold is at $2,920 per ounce and silver is at $32.20 per ounce, the ratio would be approximately 90:1 (2920 ÷ 32.20 = 90.68). Traders often use this ratio as a tool for understanding relative value and potential trading opportunities. When the ratio is historically high (above 80:1), some traders view silver as undervalued relative to gold and consider buying silver while selling gold. Conversely, when the ratio is low (below 50:1), they might buy gold and sell silver. Historically,...

The British pound strengthened to $1.25155 after unexpected GDP growth of 0.1% in Q4 2023, defying economists’ predictions of a contraction. However, analysts caution that the growth was primarily driven by volatile inventory changes, while key economic indicators like household consumption and business investment remained flat or negative, suggesting underlying weakness in the UK economy.

In a recent Bloomberg Television interview, JPMorgan’s Grace Peters outlined a comprehensive investment strategy that positions gold as a crucial asset for portfolio protection. Despite acknowledging solid economic data, Peters emphasizes the ongoing challenge of elevated inflation, making gold particularly attractive as a protective measure. Her investment approach advocates for a balanced strategy that maintains equity exposure while incorporating defensive assets like gold, core infrastructure, and hedge funds to build portfolio resilience. This recommendation comes at a time when investors are navigating complex economic conditions and seeking ways to protect their investments against various market risks. Peters’ endorsement of gold...

President Trump’s call for simultaneous tariffs and lower interest rates faces strong criticism from economists who warn this combination could backfire. Experts explain that tariffs typically increase inflation, which would force the Federal Reserve to maintain higher interest rates. The only scenario where both high tariffs and low rates might coexist would be during an economic downturn, a situation experts warn could harm rather than help the economy. The challenge is further complicated by current full employment conditions and existing inflation concerns. Carl Weinberg of High Frequency Economics points out the inherent contradictions in Trump’s broader economic agenda, which includes...

According to UBS Investment Bank strategist Joni Teves, gold’s current rally could extend further despite already reaching historic levels. Her analysis focuses on the crucial role of inflation dynamics, particularly emphasizing how the implementation of new tariffs could act as an inflationary catalyst. This environment, she argues, creates uniquely favorable conditions for gold. The strategist’s perspective suggests that rather than seeing current price levels as a peak, investors should consider the broader macroeconomic context, where tariff-induced inflation could continue to drive gold prices higher. This “unprecedented territory” for gold reflects a fundamental shift in market conditions that could sustain bullish...

The world’s total discovered gold reserves, standing at 244,000 metric tons, might seem vast at first glance, but when divided among Earth’s 8 billion people, it reveals a surprisingly modest allocation. Each person’s share would amount to just 30 grams of gold – enough to make six gold rings or mint a single troy ounce coin. This scarcity, combined with gold’s unique properties and historical significance, continues to make it one of the most sought-after precious metals in the world.

Gold prices recovered to $2,917 per ounce, approaching its recent record of $2,942.70, driven by a weakening dollar and rising trade war concerns. President Trump’s planned reciprocal tariffs have heightened market uncertainty, while the Federal Reserve maintains its cautious stance on rate cuts. ANZ analysts project gold could reach $3,000 per ounce this year, as global economic uncertainties continue to support safe-haven 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.
