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.

Gold Holds $4,481 With Rate Hike Risk Rising. Here’s the NFP Decision Map.

Gold is holding near $4,481 with rate hike risk rising — a divergence that, in any prior rate cycle, would have already sent gold lower. Tomorrow’s May jobs report is the last major data point before Warsh’s first FOMC meeting June 16–17. Here’s the three-scenario decision map: what a hot print, an in-line print, and a soft miss each mean for gold — and why the Fed’s policy trap makes the structural case for sound money regardless of Friday’s number.

Rate Hike Odds Just Hit 85%. Gold Is Up. Here’s Why.

Rate hike odds just hit 85%. Gold is up anyway. Most headlines won’t explain why — because the answer requires flipping the standard model upside down. The number that actually drives gold isn’t the fed funds rate. It’s the real yield. Here’s the mechanism.

Gold Confiscation: Could the Government Take Your Gold Again?

In 1933, the US government ordered Americans to surrender their gold at $20.67 an ounce — then revalued it to $35 and kept the difference. It was legal. It worked. But five major crises have passed since private ownership was restored in 1975, and confiscation has not happened once. Here is what actually changed, why the legal bar is now substantially higher, and what modern allocated ownership means for the question every gold investor eventually asks.

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.
