Gold is soaring – again. The metal has topped $3,300. Frankly, the price chart of gold is the least interesting thing about the metal right now.
What’s more interesting is the trend driving that price. We’ve noted that gold has had strong central bank buying over the past few years – that’s strong demand. Supply has been fairly steady from miners, with no major discoveries in over a decade.
But there’s another factor beyond supply and demand – the value of the currency being compared to gold.
Even though we’re technically not in a global crisis right now, countries around the world continue to print up their currencies like gangbusters:  That’s what makes gold attractive. Compared to every other currency out there, gold is holding its value.
We’re now hitting the fifth anniversary of the worst of the pandemic lockdowns. Accounting for all the stimulus spending, direct checks, and massive deficits, a full 80% of all U.S. dollars ever created occurred in the past five years.
China’s soaring money supply shows its fundamental weakness and the size of its current stimulus programs. It’s also a sign that China will want to ink a reasonable trade agreement with the Trump administration – and quickly. A big trade deal could lead to a short-term drop in gold – but that could just make for a reasonable long-term buying opportunity.
In other words, gold isn’t just holding its own against weakening global currencies like the dollar. It’s a trend that’s still in play. And why we see more upside ahead.

A secret meeting just took place in Las Vegas.
Inside exclusive sky suites at the Aria Resort, Wall Street executives gathered behind closed doors.
They aren't warning the public. They're positioning themselves for what's coming.
By the time you see the headlines, it will be too late. But there's still time — if you act now.
Watch this controversial video now, and send it to everyone you know. | P.S: For paid members, we have our latest Grey Swan Live! tomorrow, Thursday, April 17, at 11 a.m. ET.
This week, we'll dive into the gold rally and what it signals for global finance with Jason Cozens, CEO of GlintPay.com.
Jason is also on the front lines of a domestic effort to restore “constitutional” gold at the U.S. state level. Join us. We’ll explain what all that means! This one matters.
