Gold’s Historic Run Hits Pause Button | Goldman Still Targets $3,100

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

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.

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.
