Gold Approaches $3,350 as Geopolitical Tensions and Dollar Weakness Provide Support

Gold prices rose over 1% on Friday as the dollar weakened by 0.3%, bringing spot gold to $3,332.88 per ounce and contributing to a nearly 3% weekly gain. The precious metal, which has increased more than 27% since the beginning of the year, found support from ongoing geopolitical tensions—including escalating military conflicts between India and Pakistan and uncertainty surrounding U.S.-China trade relations. President Trump’s comment that 80% tariffs on Chinese goods “seems right” ahead of weekend trade talks added to market concerns. Despite the current rise, some analysts suggest gold might be entering a period of consolidation after its strong performance.

Tariff Refunds, Dollar Weakness, the AI Bust: Gold’s Case 

Gold and silver market update — April 21, 2026  In this update: Five stories made headlines this week that have nothing obvious to do with gold — tariff refunds, Apple’s leadership change, a weakening dollar, Canada’s political shift, and an AI productivity bust. Together, they are gold structural tailwinds. Here’s what each one means. Who’s Actually Getting the $166 Billion in Tariff Refunds?  Not you. The US government opened a refund portal this week for $166 billion in tariff money — duties the Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional in February.

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.
