What If Tariffs Aren’t the Fix —But the Trigger To Buy More Gold?

May 1, 2025, 12:21 PM EDT

It’s now a month since the latest round of U.S. tariffs were announced, but the headlines and effects still ripple through like it was just yesterday. Global trade is being rerouted. Confidence is leaking. And deeper cracks in the system are starting to show.

In her latest video, Jan Skoyles digs into what’s really happening beneath the political posturing. Whether you support tariffs or not, the key point is this: the world is shifting – and fast.

The people trying to steer the system don’t appear to be in control. They’re reacting. And every reaction seems to create more instability.

Yes, tariffs aim to restore balance. But in reality, they’re triggering something broader: a breakdown in trust.

China is doubling down on production while household spending stays stifled. The U.S. is trying to reshore manufacturing without the skilled labour or infrastructure to support it. Meanwhile, longstanding trade partners are moving on. China is buying from Brazil and Australia, not the U.S.

And at the centre of it all? The U.S. dollar. Still the global reserve currency – but only as long as the world keeps trusting it. That trust, too, is fraying.

The more the U.S. uses its financial power as a weapon- freezing assets, threatening SWIFT bans, enforcing tariffs – the more other nations look for alternatives. Gold. Direct trade. Digital currencies. Anything to get out from under the system.

So what can you do?

You don’t need to predict the next policy shift, instead you need to be prepared when trust disappears.

That’s why gold’s performance is so important to note – it is reminding us of what’s real.
