Gold’s Record Rally Signals Growing Global Economic Uncertainty

Published: 02-21-2025, 09:25 am | Updated: 02-21-2025, 08:23 am

Gold has soared past $2,900 per ounce, marking a remarkable journey that has seen its value triple over the last decade and increase tenfold since 2000. What makes this rally particularly noteworthy is that it’s happening despite high interest rates and a strong dollar – conditions that typically drive gold prices down.

Three main factors are fueling the current gold rally: mounting global tensions, especially related to Trump’s policies; massive central bank buying (over 1,000 tonnes yearly) as nations reduce their dependence on the dollar; and growing industrial uses in cutting-edge technologies.

While gold captures headlines, silver might offer an interesting opportunity. Historically, gold traded at 15 times silver’s price, but today that ratio has widened to 100:1. Silver’s extensive use in industries like renewable energy, AI, and medical equipment could make it undervalued at current prices. For those looking to invest in either metal, Stevenson suggests using ETFs or mining stocks instead of buying physical metals.

China Bought the Most Gold Since 2023 in July. Here’s Why.

China’s central bank just recorded its largest single-month gold purchase since October 2023. The number is notable. The structural reason behind it — a 19-percentage-point reserve allocation gap that no short-term price move will close — is what every gold owner needs to understand.

Two Inflation Numbers Come Out Every Month. The Fed Only Cares About One.

The Fed releases two inflation numbers every month — headline CPI and core CPI. They tell very different stories, and the Fed only acts on one of them. Here is what each measure captures, why the Fed leans on core PCE to set interest rates, and why that gap between what you pay and what the Fed watches matters for gold investors.

Five unrelated forces moved gold and silver higher on August 12, 2026 — and their convergence on a single session is rarer than it looks. July CPI landed clean, China’s central bank extended its record 21-month buying streak, gold entered overbought territory for the first time since March, silver’s dual engines fired simultaneously, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Here is what each one means.

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.
