Holiday Lull Sees Gold Ease as Markets Digest Fed’s Rate Decision

Published: 12-23-2024, 10:15 am | Updated: 12-23-2024, 09:47 am

Gold prices experienced a minor decline on Monday as the dollar strengthened, amid thin holiday trading. The precious metal’s value decreased by 0.1% to $2,617.58 per ounce, while the dollar index rose 0.6% against its rivals. Despite this short-term dip, analysts remain optimistic about gold’s future, with UBS projecting a target of $2,800 per ounce by mid-2025. The market continues to digest the Federal Reserve’s recent decision to cut rates by 25 basis points, although expectations of fewer rate cuts in 2025 have tempered gold’s performance in the short term.

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.

Central Banks Just Crossed a Line Not Seen Since 1996

The ECB just confirmed gold has overtaken U.S. Treasuries as the world’s top reserve asset for the first time since 1996. India’s government denied selling $12 billion in gold the same morning Bloomberg said it did. And gold is trading $300 below what 30 Reuters analysts say it should be worth. Five signals. One story.

Factory Costs Hit 82.1. That Number Is Now Working for Your Gold.

The ISM Manufacturing Prices-Paid Index hit 82.1 in May — the second-highest reading since 2022 and the 20th consecutive month of rising factory costs. Most headlines covered the manufacturing boom.

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.
