5 Market Moves for August 25 — Gold Pullback, Jackson Hole, Intel’s Warning and more

Gold Retreats from Two-Week High as Dollar Gains  Gold pulled back after Friday’s pop, as a stronger dollar made bullion pricier for overseas buyers. Spot gold dipped 0.2% to $3,364/oz while December futures eased to $3,410. The retreat came after gold touched its highest level since August 11 on Friday, following Fed Chair Powell’s Jackson Hole speech.  Traders still see an 85–90% chance of a 25bp Fed cut on September 17, supportive for gold in the long run. In the near term, however, gold is tracking the dollar. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo noted Powell’s comments point to only a modest […]

U.S. Tariffs on Swiss Gold Bars Spark Bullion Market Chaos

A shockwave just tore through the gold market. The United States has imposed a 39% import tariff on Swiss-refined 1 kg and 100-ounce gold bars — a move that blindsided traders, rattled refineries, and sent COMEX gold futures surging to record highs above $3,500/oz.  On the latest episode of The Gold Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down why this unprecedented policy decision could disrupt not just bullion flows, but the entire global financial system.  “This is the type of stuff that can cause another global financial crisis,” warns Maloney. “Those without gold or silver could get hurt […]

Silver at $50 AUD: What Australian Prices Could Be Telling the World

While many investors track gold and silver prices in U.S. dollars, those watching in Australian dollars have seen something remarkable:  What’s driving these eye-catching numbers? A key factor is currency devaluation.  Back in 2015, the Australian and U.S. dollars were nearly at parity. That same year, Mike identified what he called the bottom of a cyclical correction in the gold market — not a bear market, but a pause in a much larger bull run.  Since then, the Australian dollar has lost around 50% of its value relative to the USD. As a result, gains in gold and silver prices […]

Gold Price Surge: Safe Haven Rally on Ukraine War, U.S. Tariffs

Gold is making headlines as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid rising global tensions and economic uncertainty. With geopolitical conflicts escalating and concerns mounting over U.S. fiscal stability, gold is once again proving its value as a protective hedge in volatile times. Gold is flexing its muscles again, nearing $3,400/oz, thanks to rising global risks. The metal is benefitting from increased demand for safety assets as investors react to renewed Ukraine-Russia conflict and a spike in U.S.-China trade tensions. Ukraine’s recent military strikes deep into Russian territory and U.S. tariff hikes on metals are fueling uncertainty — conditions where gold […]

What a Gold Revaluation Could Mean for the U.S. and the Dollar

The U.S. government officially owns over 8,100 tonnes of gold—the largest gold reserve in the world. But surprisingly, it still values this gold at an outdated price of $42 per ounce, a number set back in the 1970s. This undervalues its gold holdings on paper at just $11 billion, while in reality, at today’s prices (over $3,000/oz), they would be worth closer to $765 billion. So why hasn’t the U.S. updated its gold valuation? Because a gold revaluation would send a clear message: the U.S. dollar has lost significant value. That’s not something policymakers are eager to admit. Still, during […]
