Safe-Haven Rush: Gold Tops $3,400 Amid Trump-Fed Tensions

Published: 04-21-2025, 09:20 am | Updated: 04-21-2025, 07:58 am

Gold has reached a record high of $3,390 per ounce, driven by a weakening US dollar and increasing market uncertainty. President Trump’s criticism of the Federal Reserve and reports he considered firing Chair Powell have raised concerns about central bank independence, potentially undermining dollar confidence.

Trade tensions between the US and China continue to unsettle markets, with China warning other nations against deals that might harm its interests. These factors, along with expectations of a global economic slowdown, have pushed investors toward safer assets.

Institutional demand remains strong, with bullion-backed ETF holdings rising for 12 straight weeks and central banks adding to their reserves. Investment banks remain optimistic, with Goldman Sachs forecasting gold could reach $4,000 per ounce by mid-2026.

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. Almost nobody explained what the prices-paid number means for the Fed, for inflation this summer, and for the structural case for holding gold.

Silver Has Two Engines. Stagflation Is the One Condition That Fires Both at Once.

Most assets have a simple relationship with stagflation. Silver doesn’t. It answers to two entirely separate demand pools — industrial and monetary — that in most macro environments pull against each other. Stagflation is the rare condition where both pull in the same direction at once. Here’s why that matters for investors holding physical silver today.

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.
