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...

Some prospective home buyers are hoping for a recession to make housing more affordable, but economists warn this strategy may backfire. Unless there are widespread job losses, home prices aren’t likely to fall significantly due to the persistent housing shortage and homeowners’ reluctance to give up their low pandemic-era mortgage rates. Even during a recession, with supply continuing to lag behind demand, prices could actually increase depending on the recession’s severity. While 36% of respondents in a December LendingTree survey said they wanted the housing market to crash, economists point out that the housing market dynamics today differ significantly from...

Russia’s gold reserves have reached a record $217.4 billion as of March 1, 2025, making it the fifth-largest gold holder in the world, ahead of China. Gold now makes up 34.4% of Russia’s foreign reserves, reflecting the Central Bank’s ongoing buying strategy that accelerated after relations with Western nations deteriorated following the 2014 Crimea annexation. In 2017, Russia bought 224 tonnes of gold, mainly by selling US Treasury holdings, showing its push to reduce reliance on the US dollar. The United States remains the top gold holder with about 8,133.5 tonnes (74% of its reserves), followed by Germany, Italy, and...

Gold hit new record highs, peaking at $3,052.40 per ounce before settling at $3,049 (up 0.3%) after the Fed kept interest rates unchanged. The Fed still expects two rate cuts this year but warned of greater economic uncertainty. Gold has now risen for seven straight sessions, boosted by investors seeking safety during global tensions, continued buying by central banks, a weaker dollar, and falling Treasury yields.

The Bank of England is hemorrhaging gold as we speak. In today’s eye-opening video, Mike Maloney reveals the shocking truth about the massive gold exodus from London to Switzerland and ultimately to U.S. exchanges. “There’s gold in the Bank of England for all these different countries… those countries should all be worried about their gold,” warns Mike. Watch now to discover: Don’t miss this critical update.
...The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady Wednesday while slowing its balance sheet reduction. Fed officials raised their year-end inflation forecast to 2.7% (up from December’s 2.5%), despite projecting slower economic growth, partly due to expected Trump administration tariffs. Chair Powell cited “unusually elevated” uncertainty in current projections. The dollar has dropped about 6% against the euro since mid-January amid trade policy concerns, with markets likely remaining cautious until Q1 GDP data emerges. Meanwhile, the Turkish lira hit record lows after authorities detained President Erdogan’s main political rival, while the yen strengthened following the Bank of Japan’s decision to maintain...

The Federal Reserve has revived its “transitory” inflation stance, projecting inflation will spike to 2.8% in 2025 before falling back to 2% in later years. Powell suggested tariff-induced inflation could be temporary if it moves quickly through the economy while expectations remain anchored. This addresses concerns that Trump’s tariffs could spark a trade war and renew inflation problems. The Fed’s position comes after its 2021 misjudgment when inflation, predicted to be temporary, surged to 9% and required aggressive rate hikes. Despite this history, markets reacted positively—the Dow rose 383 points—as investors appeared to trust the Fed’s control over inflation. Powell...

Gold prices stabilized at $3,044.44 an ounce on Thursday after hitting a new all-time high of $3,057.21 earlier in the day. This marks the 16th record high for gold this year, with four peaks above the significant $3,000 threshold. The surge is primarily driven by the Federal Reserve signaling likely interest rate cuts later in 2025, with traders pricing in about 66 basis points of easing this year. Additionally, ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty have increased safe-haven demand for the precious metal. While the strengthening U.S. dollar (up 0.3%) is creating some downward pressure by making gold more expensive...

Written by: The MacroButler In antique history, the Judaean silver trade played a pivotal role in the ancient economy, especially during the late Second Temple period, when the region fell successively under Persian, Hellenistic, and later Roman rule. Silver served as the primary medium of exchange, with Tyrian shekels emerging as the preferred coinage for temple transactions, including the annual temple tax paid by Jewish pilgrims. Judaea’s access to silver relied on trade networks linking it to Mediterranean markets, facilitated largely by Phoenician merchants and Nabataean traders, who sustained commerce along vital trade routes. Furthermore, Rome’s dominance over the province...

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.
