Trump’s New Auto Tariffs Push Gold to Brink of All-Time High

Published: 03-27-2025, 08:48 am

Gold prices climbed sharply on Thursday, rising more than 1% to $3,053 an ounce—just shy of the all-time high of $3,057.21 set on March 20. The surge followed President Trump’s announcement of new 25% tariffs on imported cars and trucks, scheduled to begin next week, which has heightened global trade tensions.

Gold, traditionally viewed as a hedge against uncertainty and inflation, has benefited significantly from this environment, gaining over 15% this year. Analysts attribute the rise to economic uncertainty driven by U.S. policy decisions, with WisdomTree’s Nitesh Shah describing gold as a “defensive, anti-fragile asset.”

Investors are now focused on Friday’s Personal Consumption Expenditures data to gauge the Federal Reserve’s rate cut timeline, as lower interest rates typically favor non-yielding gold. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs has raised its end-2025 gold price forecast to $3,300 per ounce, citing stronger ETF inflows and sustained central bank demand.

Q1 GDP Beat. Jobless Claims Beat. Gold Rose. Here’s Why.

Strong GDP data is actually bad news for gold’s paper price. When the economy grows faster than expected, the Federal Reserve gains permission to raise interest rates — and higher rates increase the cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold. Here’s the mechanism, what June 25’s triple data release confirmed, and what it leaves unchanged for long-term holders.

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.
