Silver Resets: How High Can It Go?
For years, silver has been the forgotten metal. It sat quietly while gold took center stage. Traders dismissed it. Central banks ignored it. Most of the financial world barely gave it a second glance. But something has changed. Silver has surged past $36 an ounce, not with a gentle climb, but with the kind of […]
Silver Linings, Split Alliances, and What They Teach Us
Every now and then, the week’s headlines offer more than just drama. They offer us a chance to pause and reflect on the deeper themes playing out beneath the noise. This past week was no exception. We watched the spectacular public unraveling of the relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump play out in the […]
The ECB is cutting rates again. But this is no return to stability.
This week, the European Central Bank lowered its benchmark rate to 2 percent. It was the eighth cut in the past year. Since last June, borrowing costs across the Eurozone have been halved. It is not a sign of strength. It is a sign of concern. Inflation pressures have eased, but the real driver is […]
Is China about to reset the gold price?
There’s something happening in the gold market. It isn’t loud or headline-grabbing, but it could reshape everything we take for granted about global finance. The Shanghai Futures Exchange has announced major reforms. On paper, it’s about futures contracts and foreign investor access. But in reality, it’s China laying the foundation for something far more ambitious. […]
Christine Lagarde wants the euro to rival the dollar. Investors prefer gold.
This week ECB President Christine Lagarde proposed that the euro could rival the dollar if only the EU would finish what it started. Her wish list included deeper capital markets, more military muscle, new trade agreements, and a jointly-financed supply of “safe” assets. In short, she wants a stronger currency. What she has is the […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
