Got gold????
Afternoon everyone …
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or @trumpman has had you tied up and gagged in his basement….. you have all seen the craziness of the markets since our “Fearless Leader” moron Trump announced his lovely tariffs.
While all markets took a beating, including precious metals. With all the pending turmoil of tariffs and uncertainty gold is taking off and is going to continue to climb.
Why????
Gold has officially surged past $3,200 per ounce, marking one of the fastest and most significant price moves in recent memory. If you’ve been following the headlines, you already know this isn’t happening in a vacuum.
This rally is being fueled by a perfect storm: rising geopolitical tension, tariff battles, global inflation fears, and instability in traditional safe havens like U.S. Treasuries.
Let’s break down what’s driving this moment, why it matters.
The Trade War Just Escalated—Big Time
President Trump’s recent move to pause tariffs on most nations for 90 days might have offered temporary relief—but it came with a massive caveat:
Tariffs on Chinese imports have now been raised to 145%.
China responded quickly with 125% retaliatory tariffs starting April 12, effectively pushing U.S.-China trade tensions to a fever pitch. Add in threats of blacklists, halted tech deals, and currency devaluation, and you’ve got a full-blown economic standoff between the world’s two largest economies.
This level of global instability drives investors into hard assets—and gold is leading the charge.
Over the past three sessions, gold has jumped nearly $275, setting multiple all-time highs.
The US dollar index has dropped substantially. CPI inflation came in way lower than expected. Central banks across the globe have been buying up large amounts of gold. Which tells you they are getting scared. Confidence in Treasuries is shaky with rumors of large scale foreign divestment.
Are you preparing yourself for the future???
