Gold Goes Parabolic After Trump Reignites Global Trade War – Could $4000 Be Next?

On Friday, Gold prices surged back above $3,350 an ounce and traders are now calling for $4,000 – or higher – before year-end.

Trump’s Tariff Bombshell Triggers a New Rush for Gold

On Friday, President Donald Trump threatened Apple with 25% tariffs if it fails to relocate iPhone production to the U.S and 50% tariffs on the EU starting June 1st. The aggressive move comes just as the 10-year Treasury yield broke above 4.60%, triggering a market shock that sent yields sharply lower on recession fears.

Analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence say this is no accident.

In a note to clients, analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence said “A trade war hits all of Trump’s economic goals in one shot. The Fed won’t cut rates, so Trump’s using tariffs to crash markets and force their hand. It’s not a mistake – its strategy.”

Bond Market Meltdown Just Made Gold The No.1 Trade of 2025

Treasury auctions are failing. Moody’s just downgraded the U.S credit rating. And Washington just passed a $3.8 trillion tax-and-spend package with no plan to pay for it. The result? Panic in the bond market — and Gold ripping higher on the back of collapsing faith in government paper.

This isn’t a yield curve story anymore. It’s a credibility crisis.

As traders race to get out of long-duration debt – Gold is reclaiming its role as the ultimate store of value. Unlike Treasuries, it doesn’t require an AAA rating – or trust in politicians.

Institutional Money Is Flooding Into Gold

Central banks across the world are buying Gold at a record breaking pace. Wall Street’s most powerful Banks and Hedge funds are following suit – dumping bonds and rotating into Gold. According to proprietary data tracked by GSC Commodity Intelligence – net long positions in Gold just hit multi-year highs and the flow is only accelerating.

French bank Société Générale now sees Gold exceeding $4,000 an ounce in 2025, while Goldman Sachs has gone one step further with its call for Gold to surpass $4,500 an ounce within the next 12 months under extreme market conditions.

This Time, Yields Aren’t Hurting Gold – They’re Helping It

Historically, rising yields hurt Gold. Not anymore. Today, yields are rising for the wrong reasons — and that’s rocket fuel for Gold.

As traders watch yields fall not because of Fed cuts, but because of looming economic damage from Trump’s tariff threats, the safe-haven bid into Gold only intensifies.

Trump isn’t just restarting the global trade war – he’s rewriting the rules of global financial markets. And Gold is the only asset that still makes sense.

In A World Full of Risk, Gold Remains the Only Asset You Can Trust

The bond market used to be the world’s safest asset class. Now it’s a house of cards. Debt is spiralling out of control. Confidence is collapsing. And the Trump administration just launched a Tariff War that could bring the global economy to its knees.

Gold doesn’t care about politics. It doesn’t default. And right now, it’s the one asset rising as everything else starts to shake.

Smart money isn’t waiting for confirmation. It’s already in Gold.

And if this storm keeps building – $4,000 could just be the start!
