Other precious metals rose this past week. Silver was up 4.9%, while platinum gained 4.8% and is back over $1,000. Near precious metals saw palladium up 1.9% and copper gaining 4.0% as it marches towards $5.00.

    Robert Kiyosaki urges investors to ditch “fake money” and start saving silver, gold, and Bitcoin — calling silver the top asset for the next two months and predicting it could hit $200.

    “Silver for the next two months is the best of the three, gold, silver, and Bitcoin,” he said. “Today silver is about $35 an ounce. I believe silver may soon be $70 an ounce this year and $200 in a year or two.”

    “The best news is, almost everyone in the world can afford at least 1 silver coin today….but not tomorrow,”

    Australian gold reinvigorated

    Australia has not escaped the threat of increased tariffs on its exports to the U.S., but it does have one world-class industry which is reveling in commodity market confusion, gold.

    Both Citi and RBC Capital Markets see the gold price continuing to rise while the Resources Department of the Australian Government is forecasting an increase in national output from 286 tons this year to 309 tons next year, cementing Australia’s position as the world’s third biggest gold producer after Russia and China.

    Gold’s rise in U.S. dollars is magnified in Australia by the currency effect with an exchange current rate of US63 cents delivering an Australian gold price of A$4903/oz, a record which easily eclipses all earlier gold booms.

    Spot gold fell 0.1% to $3,030.13 an ounce, as of 09:35 a.m. ET

    “There are concerns that tariffs could spark inflation, and there’s a consensus that despite rising prices from U.S. tariffs, the Federal Reserve might start easing policy around mid-year,” said Bart Melek, head of commodity strategies at TD Securities.

    “I expect gold to trade roughly where it is now, give or take about $25,” Melek said.

    Spot silver dropped 1.2% to $33.61 an ounce, platinum lost 1.6% to $980.90 and palladium fell 0.8% to $959.20
