Gold Nears $4,000 as Confidence in U.S. Data Wavers

Gold Rush Nears $4,000, Silver Approaching $50  

Gold surged toward the $4,000 mark Tuesday, while silver climbed within striking distance of $50 as investors poured into precious metals amid mounting global uncertainty. Analysts cite a perfect mix of drivers — political volatility, weak U.S. data, and record central bank demand — fueling the move. 

 

Gold is now up more than 50% year-to-date, on pace for its best year since the 1970s. Silver has surged 67%, propelled by robust industrial demand and speculative inflows. With monetary policy expected to ease and inflation still stubborn, investors appear to be rotating from paper assets into tangible stores of value. 

And as bullion breaks new ground, Wall Street’s biggest players are finally starting to chase the rally they once dismissed. 

 

Goldman Hikes December 2026 gold price forecast to $4,900 

Goldman Sachs has lifted its 2026 gold target to $4,900 per ounce, citing persistent central bank buying, a weaker dollar, and slowing growth. The firm sees structural support for gold as investors diversify away from overvalued equities and long-duration bonds. 

The upgrade joins a chorus of bullish calls, echoing Fidelity’s recent $4,000 projection. Both rest on the same premise: real interest rates are staying low while faith in fiat money continues to erode. 

For months, markets have treated gold’s rise as a curiosity rather than a warning. But the scale of this move — and the institutional shift behind it — suggests investors are quietly preparing for a longer era of instability. And if the economy is as fragile as new private data implies, those fears may be well placed. 

 

Private Sector Steps In: Carlyle Tracks Weak U.S. Jobs Growth 

After President Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics earlier this summer, skepticism about the accuracy of U.S. jobs data has only deepened. With the government still shut down and no official report available, private firms are stepping in to fill the void. 

The Carlyle Group’s new proprietary model estimates just 17,000 jobs were created in Septemberfar weaker than prior government trends suggested. ADP’s report shows a 32,000-job loss, while Revelio Labs estimates a modest gain, revealing how unclear the real picture has become. 

These independent readings add weight to fears that the labor market is weaker than Washington admits. A softening jobs backdrop could force the Fed into deeper rate cuts — a setup that historically boosts gold as investors seek safety from policy missteps. 

As confidence in official data falters, policymakers are turning their attention toward something far more tangible — control over real assets. 

 

Trump Greenlights Alaska Mining Push 

President Trump has approved a long-disputed access road to Alaska’s Ambler mining district — a move to unlock domestic supplies of copper and other critical minerals. The executive order includes $35.6 million in U.S. funding for Canada’s Trilogy Metals, giving Washington a 10% stake and warrants for an additional 7.5%. 

The Ambler project could become a cornerstone in America’s effort to secure its mineral supply chain and reduce dependence on China. Environmental groups warn of threats to fragile Arctic ecosystems, but for the administration, the calculus is strategic: access to resources equals leverage in a volatile world. 

While new supply could pressure some industrial metals in the short run, the bigger picture is clear — nations are racing to secure physical commodities as trust in financial assets weakens. And while Washington shores up its own mineral supply, Beijing is quietly stockpiling the world’s oldest reserve asset. 

 

China’s Central Bank Extends Gold Buying Spree 

China’s central bank increased its gold reserves for an 11th straight month in September, extending the longest accumulation streak in over a decade. The People’s Bank of China now holds more than 2,250 tons, solidifying its role as the world’s most consistent sovereign buyer. 

This buying spree underscores a global shift in monetary strategy. Central banks — especially across Asia and the Global South — are hedging against dollar dependence and sanctions risk, moving steadily toward hard assets. 

The direction of flow has reversed: what was once a westward “gold drain” in the 20th century is now a steady movement east. It’s not just a tactical trade — it’s a structural realignment of monetary power that could define the next financial era. 

If 2025 has shown anything, it’s that gold is no longer the alternative — it’s becoming the anchor.

Silver Running Dry: Gold’s Historic Surge Explained 

Gold is having its best year since 1979 — up nearly 50% in 2025 — but according to Mike Maloney, the real move hasn’t even begun.  And when you look at what’s happening in the silver market, it’s easy to see why.  The World Is Using Silver Faster Than It Can Be Mined  Every 6.8 minutes, the world consumes as much silver as it takes miners 9.6 minutes to dig out of the ground.  That imbalance can’t last forever. As Mike puts it, “Something has to give — and what has to give is price.”  Silver demand is relentless —

Is Gold Price Consolidation Your Next Buying Opportunity?

Gold has surged from $2,624 at the start of 2025 to over $3,800 per ounce today. But even during powerful bull markets, prices rarely move up in a straight line. Periods of retracement or sideways trading — known as gold price consolidation — are a normal part of the cycle.  For long-term investors, these pauses aren’t setbacks. They’re often the moments when disciplined buyers quietly build positions before the next leg higher. The question is: could this consolidation be your next strategic entry point?  What is Gold Price Consolidation?  Gold price consolidation happens when the market trades within a defined

They’re Losing Control of Gold and Silver Prices

For decades, a hidden war has kept precious metals prices in check. But the cracks are widening, and the system is slipping. As Mike Maloney explains in his latest video, this “criminal suppression” may actually be the greatest opportunity precious metals investors have ever been handed.  The Dollar’s Collapse Against Gold  In just three years, the U.S. dollar has lost 50% of its value against gold. Think about that. Half your purchasing power — gone.  Wall Street can no longer ignore it. Jeffrey Gundlach, the “Bond King,” now recommends 25% gold exposure. Morgan Stanley has shifted its traditional 60/40 portfolio model into

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.
