The Gold Beneath Our Feet
A fascinating article in the Financial Times recently caught my eye. Written by Sarah Dadouch, The Great Syrian Gold Hunt, described a modern-day treasure hunt taking hold across post-Assad Syria. At night, the streets of Damascus shimmer with the glow of metal detectors. In the countryside, men with shovels and tattered maps arrive on private […]
The Bond Crash Has Begun. Buy Gold.
This week, Japan’s government bond market, one of the largest and most tightly managed in the world, showed unexpected signs of strain. Auctions for 30- and 40-year government bonds saw no demand. For a major economy with a historically captive investor base, that’s a significant moment. It suggests growing unease around long-term debt, fiscal credibility, […]
The ECB Admits Gold Might Crash The System
In a recent note, ECB economists highlighted the risks that could arise from rising demand for physically settled gold contracts, particularly during periods of geopolitical stress. Their concern? That such demand might contribute to wider financial instability in the eurozone. It’s a rare admission. And an important one. Gold has long been viewed as a […]In Memoriam: Stephen Flood’s Statement on the Passing of Paul Tustain
The global bullion industry has just lost one of its greatest minds. Paul Tustain of BullionVault tragically died in a motorcycle accident in Spain this past Thursday the 17th of May. I first came across Paul Tustain in 2006. BullionVault, the company he founded, was already on my radar. It was a fast growing web […]
What We Heard About the Gold Market
One of the great privileges of what we do at GoldCore is the chance to meet with clients, not just over the phone or on a screen, but in person. This past week, we had that opportunity at a big event in Ireland. It was a wonderful event. We were genuinely touched by how many […]
Gold’s Big Reclassification? Not Happening.
You may have noticed recently that gold headlines have been spinning one very specific claim: that on July 1st, 2025, gold will be reclassified as a Tier 1 High Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) under Basel III rules. Sounds monumental, doesn’t it? The kind of thing that justifies gold’s rally. The kind of policy shift that […]
What the US-China Trade Truce Really Means And Why It Matters for Gold
Earlier this week, the United States and China agreed to a 90-day pause in their trade war. Tariffs were lowered, markets rallied, and some commentators even called it a “reset.” But like many such announcements, the headlines may be hiding more than they reveal. At GoldCore, we’ve taken a step back to examine what this […]
The End of the Line for King Dollar?
There was a time when Warren Buffett thought gold was a waste of good storage space. Now, he holds $348 billion in cash and is openly worried that the very thing backing that pile, the US dollar, is, to use his phrase, “going to hell.” We should all pay attention when the man from Omaha […]
Why Gold Is Now the World’s Go-To Escape Plan—And How You Can Join In
The world is waking up to a hard truth: gold is making a powerful comeback. And yes — as you’ll notice, Jan is away at the moment and even found a ballroom to film in, but the message is more urgent than ever. For decades, gold was dismissed as old-fashioned, a relic of the past. […]
