Gold Pulls Back from Record Highs as Global Trade Relations Improve

Published: 05-16-2025, 09:30 am | Updated: 05-16-2025, 08:43 am

Gold prices fell by as much as 1.4%, trading near $3,200 an ounce and extending its weekly loss of approximately 3.5%. This decline follows two main factors: profit-taking after recent gains and reduced safe-haven demand due to improving US-China trade relations.

According to Christopher Wong of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp, gold is experiencing “fatigue” as reduced trade tensions ease market uncertainty. Despite the current decline, gold has appreciated more than 20% this year and remains an important portfolio diversifier according to UBS Group’s chief investment officer.

The metal’s strong performance has been driven by increased demand for gold-backed ETFs, substantial central bank purchasing, and speculative buying from China. Gold is currently trading about $300 below its recent all-time high.

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.
