Gold’s Record Rally Pauses:  
Strategic Opportunity or Warning Sign?

Gold’s remarkable eight-week winning streak has finally taken a breather, with prices retreating from Monday’s record high of $2,956.19 to around $2,850 — marking the first weekly decline of 2025.

This healthy pullback comes amid a strengthening dollar following President Trump’s tariff announcements, creating a natural profit-taking opportunity after such an impressive run.

Despite this temporary dip, the fundamental drivers supporting gold remain rock-solid – persistent inflation concerns, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and anticipated interest rate cuts continue to make the yellow metal an attractive option for investors navigating these uncertain times…

“If There’s Any Gold Missing, It’s from the Federal Reserve’s Vaults” Mike Maloney

Ever wondered what lies behind the most heavily guarded doors in America?

Today, Alan Hibbard takes you on a virtual tour of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s legendary gold vault — once the fortress protecting nearly 30% of the world’s official gold reserves. See firsthand how mountains of 27-pound gold bars worth billions are protected by cutting-edge security systems, armed guards, and an engineering marvel designed to be virtually impenetrable.

While Fort Knox is capturing the headlines with recent attention from President Trump and Elon Musk, Mike Maloney says the Federal Reserve’s gold repositories are where we should really be paying attention.

📈 GOLD DIPS, BUT GOLDMAN SEES $3,100 AHEAD 
After eight consecutive weeks of gains, gold has experienced its first significant pullback, dropping over $100 to around $2,850. Despite this temporary setback, Goldman Sachs remains highly bullish, raising its year-end 2025 forecast to $3,100 per ounce as central bank buying and upcoming rate cuts are expected to propel prices higher.

While gold remains a bright spot in the investment landscape, other economic indicators are flashing warning signs. 

🔥EGG-ONOMIC SHOCK: USDA WARNS OF 41% PRICE SURGE
Bird flu is wreaking havoc on America’s egg supply, with the USDA now projecting a dramatic 41.1% price increase for 2025 — double their January forecast. With consumers already paying nearly $5 per dozen and wholesale prices continuing to climb, the agency warns supplies remain “very light to light” with little relief in sight.

📈 CONSUMERS FEEL THE SQUEEZE AS INFLATION HOLDS ABOVE TARGET
January’s PCE price index showed inflation at 2.5% annually, confirming the Fed’s cautious approach to monetary policy as price pressures remain elevated. Consumer sentiment is worsening amid these economic pressures, with most Americans reporting their incomes aren’t keeping up with inflation, affecting both savings and discretionary spending.

Adding to these inflationary concerns, new trade policies threaten to further impact consumer prices…

🔄 MAJOR MARKET SHIFT: 25% TARIFFS SET FOR CANADA & MEXICO
President Trump has confirmed plans to implement sweeping 25% tariffs on all imports from Canada and Mexico beginning March 4th, though he suggested Wednesday the date might be pushed to April. This decisive move to restructure North American trade relationships could significantly impact supply chains and could result in potential price increases for U.S. consumers.
