100 Days In: Trump’s ‘Strategic Uncertainty’ on Tariffs Leaves Markets Guessing

President Trump’s first 100 days back in office have been marked by significant uncertainty around tariffs, which appear to be his administration’s top economic priority but also the biggest drag on his popularity.

Despite promises of quick deals, negotiations with foreign nations remain unclear, with Trump and his team offering contradictory statements about progress.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently described this approach as “strategic uncertainty,” highlighting a pattern that extends beyond trade to other policy areas where progress has been slower than initially promised.

Gold Price Outlook August 2026: What Three Data Prints in One Week Mean for Your Metals

Gold is up 10% in August from near $4,000 — its best monthly gain since January. Three data prints in one week flipped the September rate-hike calculus: jobs, CPI, and PPI all came in soft. Hike odds fell from 50% to 31%. Central banks bought a quarterly record 288.9 tonnes in Q2 even as prices fell. Here is what it means for gold holders — and what to watch before the September 15–16 FOMC.

Gold Rebounds to $4,392 as Sentiment Crashes to 51 and Inflation Expectations Rise

The University of Michigan’s August Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 51 — missing the 54.5 consensus and ending two months of improvement — while inflation expectations rose to 4.3%. The simultaneous drop in growth confidence and rise in price expectations creates a stagflation signal that limits the Federal Reserve’s options and extends gold’s tailwind heading into September.

Chinese Investors Flood Gold ETFs with $1 Billion as US Tariff Threats Escalate

Published: 04-09-2025, 12:45 pm | Updated: 04-09-2025, 10:01 am Chinese investors funneled a record 7.6 billion yuan ($1 billion) into four major onshore gold ETFs last week, with strong inflows continuing this week. This investment surge followed steep tariffs announced by US President Trump, which erased trillions from global equities and heightened recession fears. China has vowed to “fight to the end” against Trump’s threatened 50% duties unless it withdraws its retaliatory measures against earlier US tariffs. Gold, traditionally bought as jewelry in China for cultural reasons, is increasingly being viewed as a safe haven during economic uncertainty. Most recent

Recession Fears and Rate Cut Expectations Drive Gold to New Heights

Published: 04-09-2025, 11:05 am | Updated: 04-09-2025, 09:02 am Gold prices surged over 2% on Wednesday, reaching $3,061.92 an ounce for spot gold, as investors flocked to this traditional safe-haven asset amid escalating global trade tensions. The market reacted strongly to U.S. President Trump’s 104% tariffs on Chinese goods taking effect, which prompted China’s retaliatory 84% tariffs on U.S. goods (up from 34% previously announced). This trade war escalation has raised serious concerns about global recession risks. The weaker U.S. dollar (down 0.7%) has made gold more attractive for overseas buyers, while expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts have further

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.
