Trump’s New 200% European Alcohol Tariff Threat Fuels Recession Fears

Published: 03-20-2025, 02:10 pm | Updated: 03-20-2025, 10:07 am

President Trump has threatened 200% tariffs on European alcohol, escalating global trade tensions. After claiming on Truth Social that “The Entire World is RIPPING US OFF!!!”, financial markets have dropped sharply, creating economic uncertainty.

This market decline, along with tightening credit conditions, creates challenges for the Federal Reserve during their meeting this week. The Fed must now determine if consumer spending—which drives economic growth—will slow down as households lose net worth from market drops and face harder loan approval processes.

These developments have raised serious questions about whether the U.S. is heading toward a recession or if current economic policies can maintain stability.

Silver’s recent price drop looks significant. The math behind it tells a different story. Macro strategist Tavi Costa breaks down why the $46 spread between silver’s spot price and its average mining cost is the widest in recorded history — and why that number matters far more than where silver traded last week.

298 Tonnes of ETF Gold Is Underwater. Central Banks Aren’t.

Approximately 298 tonnes of gold inside ETFs is currently held at a loss at current price levels — a structural ceiling on any near-term recovery. At the same time, the WGC’s 2026 survey found a record 45% of central banks plan to add to their reserves. Two markets. One metal. Very different time horizons.

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.
