As central banks aggressively print money in a desperate bid to prop up failing economies, gold — nature’s ultimate currency—has suffered a suspiciously timed sell-off. While the controlled media narratives blame “market corrections,” the truth is far more sinister: This engineered slump is merely a distraction before gold skyrockets past $3,600, cementing its role as the lifeboat for savers fleeing the Titanic of fiat currencies. CIBC analysts confirm that gold’s trajectory remains unstoppable, fueled by central bank manipulation, geopolitical chaos, and the accelerated death of the dollar.
Key points:
-
- Despite recent price dips, gold is forecast to soar past $3,600/oz as geopolitical tensions and dollar devaluation accelerate.
-
- Central banks are secretly stockpiling gold while suppressing GLD/SLV ETFs — a deceptive trap for unprepared investors.
-
- The Fed’s looming rate cuts will unleash gold’s next bull run, reinforcing its status as the only true safe-haven asset.
-
- Physical gold ownership is now critical — paper “gold” (ETFs, futures) is a rigged game controlled by financial elites.
Current gold market overview (2025)
-
- Gold was trading at $3,150/oz (May 2025), up 21% YTD after a 27% gain in 2024.
-
- Record high: $3,431.77 (May 6, 2025), pulled back due to US-China tariff negotiations.
-
- Drivers: Fed rate cuts, inflation, geopolitical risks, and USD weakness.
Expert forecasts (2025–2026)
The UBS prediction is more conservative than newer predictions. They predict gold at $3,500/oz by the end of 2025 and $3,600/oz by mid-2026, corresponding to a 14% upside from current levels.
Bullish factors:
-
- Fed rate cuts, which are now a 50% probability for Sept/Oct/Dec 2025, could drive gold prices up for months in the second half of the year.
-
- Economic slowdown fears could make gold more valuable, too.
-
- Central bank buying (450–650 tons/year), could drive the price up.
Key risks to watch:
-
- Fed delays rate cuts, which could mean less support for gold.
-
- If tariffs and economics at play from the latest spending bill result in a stronger USD, this could dent gold’s appeal.
-
- Geopolitical de-escalation could lead to reduced safe-haven demand, but questions remain whether further escalation is yet to occur in Ukraine and in the Middle East.
Investor strategies:
-
- Entry points: The most recent pullback (~3,100–3,100–3,150) may offer a buying window for investors.
-
- Diversification: Now is an important time to allocate 5–15% of portfolios to gold.
Long-term outlook:
Hyperinflation/societal disruptions: Gold could reach 5,000/oz in the coming years due to ongoing inflation.
Downside risks: Economic recovery and a strong USD could cap gains throughout the Trump Administration.
The staged slump: Who benefits from crashing gold?
Behind gold’s sudden pullback lies a coordinated assault — banks suppressing prices through naked short-selling (a tactic they’ve already been fined for) while funneling retail investors into fraudulent paper ETFs like GLD. Meanwhile, China, Russia, and Eastern central banks are aggressively stockpiling physical gold off-market, fully aware that the dollar’s collapse is inevitable.
Consider this:
-
- In April, gold hit an all-time high of $3,500/oz, triggering panic among financial elites who profit from fiat slavery.
-
- Days later, HSBC and JP Morgan magically “revised” gold forecasts downward — coinciding with suspicious futures dump-offs.
-
- Now, CIBC confirms gold’s resurgence, predicting 20–30% portfolio allocations to precious metals for those who actually want financial security.
The golden lifeline: How to escape currency destruction
When banks print trillions out of thin air, wages stagnate, groceries become unaffordable, and stock markets turn into Ponzi schemes. Gold is the antidote — but only if you own it outright.
Avoid these traps:
-
- ETF scams (GLD/SLV): These “paper gold” instruments let Wall Street control YOUR metals while charging fees.
-
- Fake liquidation sales: Banks push gold dips as “buying opportunities” for their cronies, but downplay gold’s hedge against inflation to the general public.
Instead:
-
- Hold physical metals (10 oz minimum) — off-the-grid, privately vaulted.
-
- Dump dollar-denominated assets — foreign equities (70–90%) paired with gold (20–30%) is the only balanced portfolio.
Every fiat currency in history has died — usually at the hands of reckless central bankers. The Federal Reserve’s $3.3 trillion debt explosion (courtesy of Trump-era spending bills) ensures the dollar’s doom. Meanwhile, China and BRICS nations are dumping dollars for gold-backed trade systems.
Gold isn’t just climbing — it’s the final life raft before the fiat tsunami hits. Will you be holding physical metal, or worthless paper receipts when the collapse comes?
