The ECB is cutting rates again. But this is no return to stability.
This week, the European Central Bank lowered its benchmark rate to 2 percent. It was the eighth cut in the past year. Since last June, borrowing costs across the Eurozone have been halved. It is not a sign of strength. It is a sign of concern. Inflation pressures have eased, but the real driver is […]
Is China about to reset the gold price?
There’s something happening in the gold market. It isn’t loud or headline-grabbing, but it could reshape everything we take for granted about global finance. The Shanghai Futures Exchange has announced major reforms. On paper, it’s about futures contracts and foreign investor access. But in reality, it’s China laying the foundation for something far more ambitious. […]
Christine Lagarde wants the euro to rival the dollar. Investors prefer gold.
This week ECB President Christine Lagarde proposed that the euro could rival the dollar if only the EU would finish what it started. Her wish list included deeper capital markets, more military muscle, new trade agreements, and a jointly-financed supply of “safe” assets. In short, she wants a stronger currency. What she has is the […]
The Gold Beneath Our Feet
A fascinating article in the Financial Times recently caught my eye. Written by Sarah Dadouch, The Great Syrian Gold Hunt, described a modern-day treasure hunt taking hold across post-Assad Syria.

What the US-China Trade Truce Really Means And Why It Matters for Gold
Earlier this week, the United States and China agreed to a 90-day pause in their trade war. Tariffs were lowered, markets rallied, and some commentators even called it a “reset.” But like many such announcements, the headlines may be hiding more than they reveal. At GoldCore, we’ve taken a step back to examine what this […]
The End of the Line for King Dollar?
There was a time when Warren Buffett thought gold was a waste of good storage space. Now, he holds $348 billion in cash and is openly worried that the very thing backing that pile, the US dollar, is, to use his phrase, “going to hell.” We should all pay attention when the man from Omaha […]
Why Gold Is Now the World’s Go-To Escape Plan—And How You Can Join In
The world is waking up to a hard truth: gold is making a powerful comeback. And yes — as you’ll notice, Jan is away at the moment and even found a ballroom to film in, but the message is more urgent than ever. For decades, gold was dismissed as old-fashioned, a relic of the past. […]
What the French Knew – And What It Means for You Today
There’s a reason gold is in the headlines. It’s not because of a quarterly earnings beat or a Fed press conference. It’s not because it just launched a new product or filed an IPO. It’s because something bigger is stirring beneath the surface of the financial system, and gold is starting to reflect it. In […]
