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 temporary truce really says, not just about trade, but about the broader state of the global financial system.
You see, this isn’t just about tariffs on soybeans and semiconductors. It’s about how the world’s largest economy is choosing to negotiate using volatility, pressure, and disruption as tools of statecraft. And while this strategy may produce headlines and handshakes, it also creates deep uncertainty. For investors. For markets. For ordinary savers.
In our latest GoldCoreTV episode, we explore the real message behind the deal: that America’s trade and monetary policy is increasingly guided by chaos-as-strategy. The so-called “Mar-a-Lago Accord,” floated by US officials, draws inspiration from past currency realignments like the Plaza Accord, but without the consensus, cooperation, or credibility that supported those efforts decades ago.
Meanwhile, the short-term market reaction has been predictable. Stocks surged. Gold dipped. But dig deeper, and another story emerges.
Physical gold demand remains historically high. April saw one of the largest ever deliveries from futures exchanges. Inventories are falling. Sovereign entities may be preparing for monetary change – a reset, not just a retreat. And as this uncertainty builds, the role of gold as a long-term safe haven becomes more relevant than ever.
If you want to understand what’s really happening (and what it could mean for gold) then I encourage you to watch this week’s episode.
In it, we walk through the history, the strategy, and the potential implications for your wealth. No hype. No panic. Just the facts, delivered with the same clear-eyed thinking we’ve shared with our clients for over two decades.
In uncertain times, clarity is a form of strength. And so is gold.
