Gold prices experienced a significant rally on Friday, jumping 1.7% to $3,227.39 per ounce and briefly touching a record high of $3,237.56. This surge pushed bullion past the key psychological barrier of $3,200, bringing its weekly gains to over 6% and yearly gains to nearly 21%. The precious metal’s rise comes amid multiple economic concerns, including an intensifying trade war between the US and China. Beijing’s decision to increase tariffs on US imports to 125% in retaliation for President Trump’s 145% duties on Chinese goods has heightened fears of global supply chain disruptions and possible recession. A weakening US dollar,...

UBS has raised its gold price forecast, now predicting gold will reach $3,500 in 2025 with the rally continuing into 2026. Despite gold’s significant rally this year and bullish market sentiment, UBS tracking indicators suggest there’s still substantial potential for growth in gold investments. UBS anticipates demand coming from diverse market segments including central banks, asset managers, macro funds, and private investors. On the supply side, mine production growth is expected to be limited, and scrap supply will likely be constrained due to the bullish outlook, though economic distress could increase scrap supply somewhat. The bank warns that the combination...

Trump Tariffs Impact on Precious Metals

Despite President Trump’s partial retreat on tariffs, the average U.S. effective tariff rate remains at 25.3%, the highest since 1909, according to Yale’s Budget Lab. Even after consumers shift to alternatives, the rate will be 18.1%, highest since 1934. Consumers can expect significant price increases: clothing prices up 58% short-term and 26% long-term, food prices rising 2.5% initially and 2.9% long-term, and new car prices increasing by about $8,700. China now faces a total tariff rate of 145%, while most other trading partners received a temporary reduction to 10%.

Gold Imports from Switzerland Up 1,100% on Trade Concerns

President Trump’s tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%, higher than the previously reported 125%. This was clarified when the executive order was released Thursday, revealing that the new 125% “reciprocal tariff” is in addition to existing 20% duties imposed earlier for fentanyl and immigration issues. The announcement comes in a week of tariff developments, including Trump’s 90-day pause on tariffs for countries other than China, which caused the S&P 500 to surge by 9.5%.

...

Recent tariff announcements triggered a major selloff in the US Treasury market, causing market dislocations including widened bid-ask spreads. Though President Trump temporarily paused the tariffs (even remarking that the “bond market now is beautiful”), Treasury yields still remained elevated. Several hedge funds unwound leveraged positions, straining bank balance sheets and raising concerns about potential long-term damage to US financial markets. Market experts remain concerned about lasting damage, with Deutsche Bank analysts noting: “The damage has been done… both in terms of relative economic growth outcomes and foreign investor willingness to fund the U.S. external deficit.”

While gold prices have increased by 16.6% since the beginning of the year, major gold mining companies have seen even more impressive gains: Barrick Gold is up 21%, Newmont has surged 29%, and Agnico Eagle Mines leads with a remarkable 35% increase. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF, which is physically backed by gold, rose 2.8% to $282.82 on Wednesday—its largest single-day percentage increase since October 13, 2023—and has gained 17% year-to-date. This performance comes amid broader market fluctuations, with gold mining stocks and the S&P 500 seeing significant gains after President Trump modified his original tariff plans.

...

President Trump reversed course on a significant element of his sweeping tariff plan, announcing a 90-day pause just hours after the reciprocal tariffs had officially taken effect. This dramatic policy shift came after a week of plunging stock and bond markets, combined with intense pressure from executives, lawmakers, lobbyists, and international leaders. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent played a key role in persuading Trump to pause and negotiate with trading partners, arguing this wouldn’t be a capitulation but a strategic move. Over 75 countries have reportedly reached out seeking tariff deals, with Japan leading the queue. Trump’s decision was influenced by...

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.

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.
