I disagree with this headline from CNN

Gold is not rising because of Trump. It is rising because the US has $39 trillion in debt, $2 trillion in annual deficits, 25% of tax revenue goes to interest payments and Congress refuses to stop. They thus need to go through monetary debasement. This is not a bug. It is a feature of the system. And store of values are one of the way to protect purchasing power. By the way, Europe and Japan have similar debt and spending problems. Gold is at record highs against every currency, not just the dollar. Source: Wall Street Mav

Goldman is raising Gold price target to $5,400

"We raise our Dec2026 gold price forecast to $5,400/toz (vs. $4,900 prior) because the key upside risk we have flagged--private sector diversification into gold--has started to realize. We assume private sector diversification buyers, whose purchases hedge global policy risks and have driven the upside surprise to our price forecast, don't liquidate their gold holdings in 2026, effectively lifting the starting point of our price forecast."

Better hashtag#hedge alternatives? hashtag#Gold as the global fear hedge looks expensive relative to the VIX. Volatility remains somewhat elevated despite the recent pullback tied to the Greenland/Trump headlines, but chasing gold here as protection looks late. Source: TME
