Gold Pulls Back After Record Run — What Comes Next?

Gold Pulls Back After Record Run — What Comes Next?

Last week, gold made history. This week, it’s catching its breath.

After an explosive surge to an all-time high of $3,500 per ounce — one of the fastest bull runs in gold’s history — prices have pulled back to around $3,300. Some may wonder if the rally has peaked. But for seasoned investors, this looks less like a top… and more like a textbook buying opportunity.

Because the forces behind gold’s rise haven’t faded — they’re accelerating. Consider this: 

  • Gold is still up more than 28% year-to-date
  • Central banks continue to add to reserves — particularly in the East
  • Global de-dollarization is accelerating amid geopolitical realignment 

Mike Maloney believes we’re in the early stages of a massive monetary reset — and that gold is nowhere near its final destination… 

What If the Future of Money Isn’t Digital — but Gold?

In his newest must-watch video, Mike Maloney presents his boldest argument yet for a new gold-backed global monetary system — and a potential gold price of $10,000.

With Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, global central banks, and major hedge funds like Bridgewater now openly calling for monetary reform, the signs are everywhere: 

  • Mike believes a new Bretton Woods-style agreement may be brewing
  • China is stockpiling gold, while the U.S. quietly replenishes its own reserves
  • A $10,000 gold price may not just be possible — it may be essential after the monetary reset on the horizon  

“We’re not at the end of this system. We’re on the edge of the next one. And gold will be at the center of it.” – Mike Maloney

If you watch one video this week, make it this one.   

Why This Pullback Could Be the Best Entry Point All Year

In a powerful recent panel, Alan Hibbard, Kevin Wadsworth, and Patrick Karim revealed why we may be in the early stages of a rare and historic Capital Rotation Event — a shift of wealth from overvalued paper assets into tangible stores of value like gold and silver.

These rotations are rare. But when they happen, they reshape financial markets. Consider: 

  • 1929: After the crash, it took 25 years for the S&P 500 to recover
  • 1972: Post-Nifty Fifty bubble, stocks needed 8 years to reclaim their highs
  • 2000: After the tech bust, it took 12 years for the S&P to bounce back

In each case, capital fled stocks and flowed into gold and silver. Those who moved early captured outsized gains.

What Else is in the News?

📉 Three-Year Growth Streak Ends as US Economy Shrinks in Early 2025
The US economy shrank by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, marking the first economic contraction in three years. This decline was slightly worse than economists’ expectations of a 0.2% drop and represents a significant slowdown from the 2.4% growth recorded in late 2024. The Bureau of Economic Analysis says the contraction in part to a surge in imports — which subtract from GDP — as companies rushed to secure goods ahead of new tariffs.

Markets are reacting sharply to the news. At the time of writing, the Dow is down as much as 700 points, as investors digest the economic slowdown. 

🚢 U.S. Supply Chains Brace for Impact as China Tariffs Begin to Bite
President Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese goods have already caused cargo shipments to plunge 60% since early April. The ripple effects are imminent: major retailers like Walmart and Target are warning of empty shelves and rising prices by mid-May as inventories thin. Even if trade talks resume soon, restarting imports could overwhelm logistics networks — echoing the shipping delays and cost spikes seen during the pandemic.

💵 Trump Tariffs Slam the Dollar — Worst Drop Since 2002
The U.S. dollar is on track for its largest two-month decline in over 20 years, down 7.7% in March and April. The fall was triggered by Germany’s stimulus plans (boosting the euro) and Trump’s tariff war (driving investors into safe-haven currencies). While reports of possible tariff relief gave the dollar a modest bounce on Tuesday, foreign investors remain wary of U.S. assets amid the chaotic trade negotiations.

💳 Credit Crisis: Fed Warns of Highest Consumer Distress in 12 Years
Financial strain is building. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia reports 11.1% of Americans are now making only minimum payments on their credit cards — the highest rate since 2012. Delinquencies are also surging, driven by years of inflation and rising reliance on debt for essentials. With average credit card interest rates now above 21%, households are feeling the squeeze.

📉 Gold Pulls Back After $3,500 Peak
After a record-breaking run — 28 new highs and a 28% YTD gain — gold has cooled to around $3,300. For long-term investors, this could be a healthy reset — and potentially a strong entry point. 

📊 Goldman Sachs Reaffirms $4,500 Gold Tail Risk 
Goldman Sachs thinks this pullback could be temporary. They’ve just raised their 2025 target to $3,700 — and say gold could spike to $4,500 if markets face a Fed pivot or broader systemic stress. In their view, the upside remains very much alive.

Is Gold Price Consolidation Your Next Buying Opportunity?

Gold has surged from $2,624 at the start of 2025 to over $3,800 per ounce today. But even during powerful bull markets, prices rarely move up in a straight line. Periods of retracement or sideways trading — known as gold price consolidation — are a normal part of the cycle.  For long-term investors, these pauses aren’t setbacks. They’re often the moments when disciplined buyers quietly build positions before the next leg higher. The question is: could this consolidation be your next strategic entry point?  What is Gold Price Consolidation?  Gold price consolidation happens when the market trades within a defined

Global Silver Shortage: Why the Physical Price Is Breaking Away From Paper

Few times in history has the silver market looked like this.  In the latest episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard unpack an extraordinary squeeze that’s pushing the physical and paper markets in completely different directions — and it’s happening fast.  Lease Rates Explode: A Market Under Stress  Silver lease rates — the cost of borrowing silver for short trades — have rocketed to over 33%, a level almost never seen.  Under normal conditions, those rates hover near zero. A 33% spike signals something deeper: a market starved of liquidity.  For short sellers, this is a nightmare.

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...

    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.
