Trade War Escalation Pushes Gold Higher as Markets Seek Safety

Gold prices have climbed above $2,915 per ounce as escalating trade tensions drive investors toward safe-haven assets.

President Trump’s recent tariffs against Canada and Mexico, along with doubled charges on China, triggered swift retaliation, including Beijing’s implementation of 15% duties on American farm goods.

This trade war escalation, combined with the U.S. pausing military aid to Ukraine, has created significant market uncertainty. After reaching a record high of nearly $2,955 in February followed by profit-taking, gold has recovered approximately 2% this week.

Goldman Sachs analysts project gold could reach $3,300 per ounce by year-end due to policy uncertainty. Meanwhile, disappointing U.S. economic data showing weaker housing, rising unemployment claims, and decreased personal spending have increased expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts later this year, further enhancing gold’s appeal as a non-yielding asset in uncertain times.

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.
