This Week's Headlines: |
During April and May, Gold has shown remarkable volatility. Gold reached an all-time high of $3,498 per ounce April 22nd and dropped $378 in less than a month, bottoming out at $3,120 on May 15th. Last Friday, Gold closed at $3,355 per ounce, an increase of $165 for the week, and up $233 from the May low. Gold is clearly on a bullish track back to $3,500 in June.
What is driving this recent Gold rally? I believe Goldman Sachs did an excellent job in explaining most the key factors that are driving the Gold rally:
- Geopolitical turmoil
- Gold is the best Safe-Haven asset during a time of uncertainty in trade/tariffs
- Russia’s war in Ukraine and the freezing of Russian assets drove up central bank buying
- Lower interest rates are driving up Gold sales
- Central Banks are trading U.S. Dollars for record amounts of Gold
- A lower U.S. Dollar is pushing up the Gold price in U.S. Dollars

Key Economic data to watch this week:
The week of May 27th to 30th, 2025
- Tuesday: April Durable Goods, May Consumer confidence
- Thursday: Initial Jobless Claims, Existing Home Sales
- Friday: PCE (year-over-year)
Today: Gold appears to be settling in above the $3,250 level. Gold traded over the long holiday weekend between $3,283 and $3,350 per ounce. Over the weekend, the U.S. Dollar reached a low of 98.78, which helps support the Gold price.
Last week was a good week for Silver investors, with the white metal rallying $1.25 and closing at $33.40 on excellent trading volume. Silver staying above $33 per ounce would be short-term bullish with Gold remaining around the $3,300 per ounce price level. Right now, the Silver-to-Gold ratio remains around 100-to-1.
Today: Today, Silver reached a low of $32.74 before seeing bargain buying. $33 per ounce still remains a key price level right now and we are seeing strong buying below that level.
