Key Drivers Behind Gold’s Movements

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted that high tariffs between the U.S. and China must be reduced before trade negotiations progress. However, he stressed that President Donald Trump would not unilaterally remove tariffs on Chinese goods

Trump’s immediate focus includes exempting automakers from certain tariffs following weeks of intense discussions with industry leaders—a move that has partially eased concerns over trade complications.

Gold has surged over 30% since the start of the year, and the gold-to-silver ratio has hit its highest level since 1994 (excluding the pandemic period).

The primary catalyst behind gold’s rally is waning confidence in U.S. economic exceptionalism, driven by escalating trade barriers and unpredictable policy shifts. This has prompted investors to shift from U.S. assets to gold as a safe haven.
