Headlines That Matter

🪙 What does the current price of gold tell us? The price of gold has baffled investors recently with the metal up over 16% year to date and recently hitting all time highs now worth about $2,400 per ounce. Most of these gains have come over the past month with gold up over 9% and many experts scratching their head as to what it means.

Our take: We’ll spare you the history lesson but put it simply, most people throughout human existence have viewed gold as an alternative form of money. So when investors see inflation rising (which really just means our U.S Dollars are worth less), gold becomes more valuable because it takes more dollars to buy the same amount. When people are also less confident in paper money, demand for gold goes up. So the rising gold market is telling us: 1) we aren’t done with inflation unfortunately and 2) politicians who continue to spend with no balanced budget in sight makes people a bit more iffy on the U.S. Dollar.

Dinner Discussion ❓

Last week’s question: What is the stock market's more likely next move? Up 5% or down 5%.

Results: This one was a nail biter with 56% of you saying the next 5% move would be down and 44% saying the next 5% would be up. The majority looks to have been right though as the S&P 500 was down nearly 4% over last week. Check our IG stories to see what people had to say.
