Is 2025 the New 1979? Why Gold Could Be Set to Double Again

Is 2025 the New 1979? Why Gold Could Be Set to Double Again

In April, something historic happened: U.S. stocks, bonds, and the dollar all fell — simultaneously — for the first time since 1977.

But while paper assets wavered, gold surged to new highs, making clear what savvy investors have known for decades: when trust in traditional financial pillars erodes, gold is the leading choice for investors seeking safety.

According to Mike Maloney, we’re now entering the explosive third phase of this bull market — where gains are fast, decisive, and often, life-changing.

Backed by a global exodus from the dollar and central banks piling into physical bullion, gold’s role isn’t just growing — it’s being redefined as the neutral reserve asset of a new world order.

Gold’s Moment of Truth: Are We Entering the Final Surge?

During the 1970s, the price of gold doubled in just 42 days. Investors who recognized the opportunity saw life-changing gains.

Today, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard believe we are witnessing a similar setup, with the potential for an equally dramatic move.

In their latest episode, Mike and Alan break down: 

  • How today’s market setup mirrors the explosive gold surge of the 1970s
  • Why central banks are quietly laying the groundwork for a potential new gold standard
  • Four of the most compelling reasons why now might be the smartest time to own gold 

They also offer an unfiltered take on the impact of tariffs and trade wars, and what it all means for your financial security.

Gold’s surge could be just beginning. Don’t wait to understand what’s happening — and more importantly, how to act. 

Market Pulse: This Week in Gold

🌟 Gold Holding Strong, Silver Gaining Ground
Ukraine’s strike on Russia’s bomber fleet and renewed U.S.-China trade tensions triggered another move into safe-haven assets. Gold traded above $3,350 per ounce (up 27.6% YTD), while silver climbed to $34.45 (up 19% YTD), reflecting investor anxiety amid global instability.  

🚀 Gold Miners Rally on Geopolitical Jitters
Mining stocks saw double-digit gains this week as tensions spiked. Iamgold surged 8.9%, Gold Fields rose 9.5%, and Fortuna Mining jumped 12.1%, following a 2.7% uptick in gold prices. Trigger points: tariff escalation and rising East-West friction.

🛠️ U.S. Doubles Metal Tariffs as Trade Clock Ticks
Washington doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum imports Wednesday, the same day it demanded “best offers” from trading partners to avoid broader tariffs in July. European negotiators met with U.S. trade officials in Paris, urging swift action to avoid escalating trade conflict.

📈 Deadline Diplomacy: U.S. Pushes Final Trade Proposals
The Trump administration is fast-tracking trade negotiations, pressing global partners for final offers by later today. With a July 8 tariff deadline looming, markets brace for renewed trade shocks.

The World Gold Council’s 2026 survey asked 76 central banks how they decide how much gold to hold. The answer comes down to three objectives: safety, liquidity, and return — in that order. Here’s what that framework looks like in practice, why a record 45% of central banks plan to increase their allocation this year, and why the same logic applies to individual investors.

Half the Fed Wants a Hike. 45% of Central Banks Are Buying More Gold.

The Fed’s June 2026 dot plot split the committee down the middle on rate hikes, the dollar surged to its highest since May 2025, and silver posted its sharpest drop in weeks before recovering nearly 70% of the loss. The same week, the World Gold Council reported a record 45% of central banks plan to add gold. The headwinds are real. So is the floor.

Silver climbed 2.8% on the Iran peace deal this morning, then gave it all back as the FOMC’s rate-hike signal reasserted itself. Gold barely moved. The gap between the two metals today shows exactly why silver behaves differently — and what physical holders need to understand about both forces.

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.

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.
