Gold hitting record highs

The price of gold keeps heating up. If the record-breaking year of 2024 wasn't enough, gold hit a major historic 2025 milestone by crossing the $3,000/ounce threshold!

Here are 3 Key Reasons:

1. Looming economic & political uncertainty

2. Increasing central bank demand

3. Rising National Debt - over $36 Trillion

So, could gold surge even higher?

According to a recent statement from Jeffrey Gundlach, famed American business man and investor… “Gold continues its bull market that we’ve been talking about for a couple of years, ever since it was down to $1,800.” He expects gold to reach $4,000/oz.

Market Update & Trade Plan for Remainder of the Session

The S&P 500 has maintained its bullish stance today, continuing yesterday's momentum following the US-China trade truce. This morning's softer-than-expected CPI print (2.3% YoY vs. 2.4% expected) has further fueled risk-on sentiment by increasing Fed rate cut expectations. With JPMorgan cutting US recession risk below 50% and Barclays no longer expecting a recession in H2 2025, the market backdrop remains constructive despite some sector-specific headwinds.
