Additional Info

Currently there are 11 states that use gold and silver coins as legal tender Utah being the first state to do so in 2011. This is a great shift we may see as states are either moving towards it or in talks of doing this. The positive for those who live in these states is the capital gains taxes would be eliminated on sales of gold and silver.

    “We have found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud so far. And we’ve just started. We’re actually going to Fort Knox to see if the gold is there, because maybe somebody stole the gold. Tons of gold,” Trump said.

    “I think the gold is probably there. It’s probably almost certainly there,” David Sacks, Trump’s crypto czar, told Fox News last week, though he still agreed with the president’s calls to investigate the matter.

    “Nobody thinks this is a crazy idea to go check because we don’t know,” Sacks added, arguing that “we cannot fully trust that our gold is still in Fort Knox” because of the “corruption” in Washington.

    Gold rose more than 2% on Monday to its highest in over three weeks, as a weakening dollar and a combination of geopolitical risks and economic uncertainty fuelled investor demand for safe-haven assets.

    Spot gold was up 2.7% at $3,377.29 an ounce, as of 10:19 a.m ET (1419 GMT), after hitting its highest level since May 8 earlier in the session.

    “The latest tariff threats on Friday, including plans to double steel and aluminium tariffs to 50% along with Ukraine’s weekend attacks deep into Russia, have heightened geopolitical risks and are fuelling risk-off sentiment,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zanier Metals.

    “For the gold forecast, this backdrop of risk aversion and fiscal uncertainty couldn’t be more favourable.”

    Spot silver rose 4.1% to $34.31 an ounce, platinum was up 0.3% at $1,059.55 and palladium rose 1.2% to $982.40.
