The Earth Is Leaking Gold!

5 days ago | goldseek.com | Mike Maharrey

Generally speaking, a leak is bad news. If your car tire is leaking, you’re probably going to end up stranded on the side of the road. If a pipe in your house is leaking, you’re probably going to end up with wet carpet. And if your team’s defense is leaky, well, it’s probably not going to win very many games. Well, the Earth is leaking. The good news is this isn’t bad news! Because the Earth is leaking gold.

5 days ago | goldseek.com | Mike Maharrey

Powell & Company at the Federal Reserve sees an elevated stagflation threat. In response, they decided to do nothing. The Fed held interest rates steady between 4.25 and 4.5 percent. Rates have remained at that level since last December. The official FOMC statement was little changed from the May meeting. The committee emphasized that it is “attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate.” Powell remains convinced tariffs will boost price inflation.

1 week ago | goldseek.com | Mike Maharrey

Investment demand for gold remained strong in India last month, even as post-wedding season jewelry demand was soft due to price pressure. Meanwhile, many Indians are taking advantage of higher prices and monetizing their gold. India ranks as the world's second-largest gold market behind China. Domestic gold prices in India followed global trends, gaining about 1 percent in May. Through the first two weeks of June, the yellow metal picked up another 4 percent.
Vietnam Central Bank Set to End Gold Import Monopoly

1 week ago | goldseek.com | Mike Maharrey

The Vietnamese gold market is about to undergo significant reforms that could boost competition, lower prices, and increase supply. A government decree will open the door for eligible banks and enterprises to import gold into the country and produce bullion. Currently, the Saigon Jewelry Company Limited (SJC) enjoys a monopoly on the importation of gold and the production of gold bars. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) granted the gold monopoly to SJC under Decree 24/2012/ND-CP, issued in 2012.
Stop the Stupid! Iran Wars and Immigration Wars Show Signs of Catastrophic Stupidity

1 week ago | goldseek.com | David Haggith

While I lost one paying subscriber who told me how stupid I am about the Israel-Iran war (and certainly gained none for my views), the news headlines about that war and about the immigration “war” are coming in exactly as I forecast for both wars, so I have nothing to apologize for, unless getting it right is a flaw when it was not what someone wanted to believe. However, there is stupidity to be found.
Money Wisdom from the Seminole Indians

1 week ago | goldseek.com | Mike Maharrey

Did you know the Seminole Indians refused to conduct trade using paper money? True story. When doing business with white traders, the Seminoles insisted on barter or silver coinage. Why? Because they understood the unreliability of fiat currency and the government that "backs" it. I learned this factoid during a recent trip to the Everglades. My wife and I visited the Smallwood Store in Chokoloskee, Florida.

1 week ago | goldseek.com | Mike Maharrey

Central banks have gobbled up over 1,000 tonnes of gold for three straight years, and most central bankers think the buying trend will continue. Last year was the third-largest expansion of central bank gold reserves on record, coming in just 6.2 tonnes lower than in 2023 and 91 tonnes lower than the all-time high set in 2022. (1,136 tonnes). 2022 was the highest level of net purchases on record, dating back to 1950, including since the suspension of dollar convertibility into gold in 1971.
Argentina's Budding Love Affair With Gold

1 week ago | goldseek.com | Mike Maharrey

Argentines are married to the dollar, but they're having a love affair with gold. As a Bloomberg article framed it, Argentines were once "almost irrationally devoted to the dollar." In fact, the country ranks among the top holders of U.S. dollars.
Israel-Iran War Packs Major Oil Blow

1 week ago | goldseek.com | David Haggith

Having written that this war is not WWIII, that doesn’t mean I think it will be inconsequential or harmless to the US or to Israel. All wars can be and usually are very harmful. What I meant is that it is not inherently going to be the long-feared pan-Arab-Israeli war that people believed any war between Israel and Iran would quickly turn into. As I laid out, Iran has no allies left with the stamina to take on such a fight or with the desire to support Iran in such a conflict against Israel.
