Fed holds for the fifth straight meeting. Inflation’s been above target for five years.
At what point do you stop calling it a mistake and start calling it the plan?
These don't stay in the vault long these days...
"I'm not planning on selling any of my gold. In fact, when will I sell my gold? Well, it's an asset. It's a security blanket. It's savings. It's money in its most basic form. So why would I really want to liquidate cash, which is what gold is?" - Doug Casey

Fed day, and everyone's waiting to see which way it goes.
These just sit there being an ounce of silver each, same as yesterday, same as tomorrow whatever gets announced. Must be nice.
Rates change what your money's worth, not what an ounce weighs.

"Holding the fiat asset of an adversary… is dangerous."
Doug Casey doesn't mince words. When the money you hold answers to someone else's government, so does your wealth.

Sixth month of a US–Iran war. Central banks buying at near-record pace. Gold down 30% from January's high.
Not a contradiction. There are two gold markets sharing one price: paper trades weeks, physical trades decades.
We cover the reasons why here: https://t.co/c9rKCDL4Ua

China didn't ban gold. It banned betting on gold with borrowed money.
Physical bullion, savings plans, fully funded products - all untouched.
Exposure is not ownership, Beijing drew that line.

Markets are focused on today’s gold price. Central banks are focused on tomorrow’s monetary system.
For the first time in almost 30 years, central banks hold more gold than U.S. Treasuries.
Gold is quietly reclaiming its place at the heart of the international monetary system. Worth asking why.

If China wanted to accumulate more physical gold…
…what would it do?
✅Restrict leveraged speculation
✅Encourage fully funded ownership
✅Keep buying gold for its own reserves
That's exactly what's happening. Shanghai is sending a signal that owning the physical matters.

It's been a strong week for physical buying. Gold weight sold was up 58%, and silver surged 92% compared to the week before.
Lower barrier to entry usually makes Silver the go-to choice for first-time buyers, and that's exactly what we're seeing on the ground.
More buyers coming through our door is driving these numbers, not price swings. People are simply showing up and stacking.
If you're looking to add silver, our 10 oz Nadir bar is at spot right now for our 14th anniversary.
Only until 26 July, and stock is limited.

Couldn't resist a photo of the packing table today.
So much silver on its way out of our vault. Plenty of Argor-Heraeus kilo bars, Nadir 10 oz bars and coins.
Between our anniversary deal and the limited-time offers, the packing team has their hands full.
One of the biggest buyers of gold since 2024 isn't a central bank.
It's Tether.
73.6 tonnes bought, compared with 49 tonnes by China's central bank over the same period. Tether now holds around 154 tonnes in total.
That's a lot of gold for a stablecoin company. And it's not all there to back XAUT, its gold-backed token. A larger share is held in the reserves backing USDT, alongside U.S. Treasuries.
That's a deliberate choice to hold physical gold against dollar exposure.

Thank you for your trust and support over the past 14 years. Here's to many more.
One of the best perks of working here is getting to see and handle a 400 oz gold bar every single day. Worth over USD 1.6 million today.
These are the largest commercially produced gold bars in the world. We keep one out on exhibit in our bullion centre for visitors to lift.
It's cold to the touch, smooth, and so much heavier than it looks - people try to pick it up and it barely moves.
Wild to think a gold bar that size is worth more than most houses.
Institutional wealth is moving heavily into physical metal.
Central banks have doubled how much gold they're buying - over the last four years, they've been adding an average of 1,000 metric tons a year, twice the pace of the decade before.
According to the latest World Gold Council survey, 90% of them buy it for crisis protection, and 84% use it as a long-term store of value.
It's how they secure their wealth during times of economic uncertainty.
We are also seeing a growing pattern among businesses and family offices, increasing their holdings in gold.
Their buying patterns lean towards larger bars such 1 kg gold bars and larger quantities of 100 gram gold bars, likely indicating an intention to hold for the long term.
S$7 for a coffee this morning. Ten years ago: S$4.
The coffee didn't get better. Your dollars just buy less.
In that same time - Gold has more than doubled. So in gold terms, coffee got cheaper.
June was an incredibly busy month for us. As paper prices took a dip, physical demand did the exact opposite - we saw a massive rush of stackers stepping up to accumulate metal while prices were down.
Late in the month, volume spiked sharply - we saw nearly 5 tons of physical metal moving through our door in a single week.
Looking at what actually moved, these were our most popular products by weight:
Gold:
- 100 Gram BullionStar No-Spread Gold Bullion Bar
- 100 Gram PAMP Swiss Gold Bullion Bar
Silver:
- 1 Kilogram BullionStar No-Spread Silver Bullion Bar
- 1 Kilogram Perth Mint Silver Bullion Bar
Our own No-Spread bars topped the list for both gold and silver this month. People keep coming back to these because you simply get more metal for your money.
If you're checking the gold price and only looking at this week, you're looking through the wrong window. Zoom out. The broader timeline tells a very different story:
• 1 Year: +19%
• 3 Years: +107%
• 10 Years: +198%
• Since 2000: +1,266%
Short-term price fluctuations represent day-to-day market volatility.
The long-term trend reflects the actual reality of protecting your purchasing power.
