Donald Trump’s return to the global political forefront as the 47th US President came after a tumultuous and very eventful campaign and signified a decisive gear shift for American politics. As he made abundantly clear in his inaugural speech and as he demonstrated in the first months of his presidency, he is committed to reversing most of the signature policies of his predecessor. He proved as much by signing dozens of Executive Orders and rescinding 78 of former President Joe Biden’s within hours of the transition. By now, it is clear that the country is set to return to many of its pre-2020 goals and priorities, especially when it comes to immigration, economic and social policies, foreign relations and economic cooperation strategies.

In mid March, gold shattered yet another psychological barrier, this time by surging past $3,000 per ounce and even rising over $3,100 just a few days later. Justifiably, this sparked widespread jubilation among most precious metal investors. However, at the same time, there were some voices calling for profit taking, or even confidently declaring that the yellow metal had “topped” and it was time to sell. After all, it has indeed climbed steadily from its 2020 low of around $1,700/oz, delivering a roughly 76% gain in just five years. However, gold’s story is far from over, and all of the economic, geopolitical, and monetary forces driving its trajectory suggest it has room to run—especially over the long haul.

BFI Bullion has made the decision to discontinue our Collective storage option. We made this decision not only to ensure our offering optimally serves the current needs of our precious metal’s investors, but also to lay the foundation for a sequence of service upgrades that will follow.

It may have been easy to miss if you were justwatching the daily news, but those that keep their thumb on the pulse of thegold market, surely know of the mass “migration” of physical gold that movedfrom London to New York at the start of the year. The mainstream media blamedit all on the threat of Trump’s tariffs pushing the futures price of goldhigher in New York, but frankly there are more questions here than thissimplistic answer can address. What is clear is that “now” is still the righttime to buy gold.

Since Donald Trump was elected and has now been inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States of America, he hasn’t wasted time in sharing his plans to cut federal spending and reduce the size of government. To do this, Trump, using an executive order on day one in office, created a presidential advisory commission called the Department of Government Efficiency, or the DOGE, which will now be led by Elon Musk alone (after Vivek Ramaswamy stepped down to run for governor of the state of Ohio). In any case, the DOGE better get hoppin’ as I have a story of government waste for you today…

Nothing like some good news to usher in the new year. Our friends at Copenhagen Atomics are taking great strides as we roll into 2025. Their joint project with PSI (the Paul Scherrer Institute) in Switzerland marks yet just another key milestone they reached as they prepare to run their first live test reactor.
