Central banks seem to be on a credibility drive at the moment. Last week it was the ECB, yesterday it was the Fed and today it was the Bank of England. All of them are on a mission to reiterate their approach of ‘because I said so!’ when it comes to raising rates. It seems […]
From the desk of GoldCore CEO, Stephen Flood This morning gold moved above $2,000/oz. The previous intraday high (seen in 2020) was $2,080. If you saw our recent interview with Patrick Karim then you might be recalling his comments that a close here on a monthly basis would signify a break of a trend line […]
This week everyone has been reminded why they choose to invest in gold and buy silver. As markets reacted to Silicon Valley Bank’s demise, the near-collapse of Credit Suisse and the ensuing panic of policymakers, investors and depositors, gold, and silver have come to the fore. Why did they climb in the price? Because this […]

Yesterday’s events of the U.S. dollar making yet more gains whilst gold and silver prices tumbled, have caught the attention of investors around the world. This sudden shift in the markets is attributed to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony to Congress, where he increased the likelihood of further rate hikes… With this news, investors are […]
Each year professional analysts and forecasters shine up their crystal balls to submit their precious metal price forecasts to the LBMA. The contest is to be the most accurate predictor for the gold price average for the year; the analyst with the closest average price for the year wins a 1oz. gold bar. The 2023 […]
As the Russia/Ukraine conflict continues to intensify, the risk of deglobalization only grows. Amid escalating tactics from both sides, Vladimir Putin has issued nuclear warnings, while President Joe Biden has been rallying allies in an effort to defend democracies. All this is happening as gold makes its own appearance in this equation, being at the […]
“The soul of money is trust. To operate effectively, businesses must maintain the trust of investors. And central banks must maintain the trust of the public. Governments also have a role to play in the face of today’s central banks’ losses. Because these institutions are ultimately backed by the state, trust in money requires sound […]
In 1983 a total of 6,840 gold bars were stolen from a high security vault in Heathrow in what is still considered to be ‘the crime of the century’. 40 years on and the gold heist is still the biggest single-theft of gold in history. What’s incredible is that the perpetrators never even expected to […]

Those watching the gold price and price of silver will have noticed the sharp uptick following the Federal Reserve’s announcement, yesterday. This was despite the Fed doing exactly what everyone expected them to do. For now, the Federal Reserve is sticking to its relatively well-telegraphed plan but how long will it be until they need […]
US dollar hegemony has long been a standard feature of the global financial and economic system. But developments in recent years and months (weeks, even) suggests there are more than a handful of countries who are looking to rely less on the US dollar. Instead, countries who have long been at the mercy of the […]
It’s that time again when the US government has to prepare itself for an internal battle to raise the debt ceiling so it can meet various obligations. This is a merry dance that has been danced before, as we mention below. For sure, every time it happens fewer and fewer people are convinced of the […]
This week we bring you some silver candlesticks. Sadly not the nice shiny ones your grandmother left you, no these are much more useful. We’re talking about candlesticks on charts and what they can tell us about both the gold and silver price in the coming weeks. Patrick Karim of NorthStarBadCharts.com joined us over on […]
Anyone who has decided to buy gold, or follows the gold price will be aware of how powerful the US Federal Reserve is. This year the Federal Reserve will turn 110 years old, only in recent years is dollar hegemony appearing to falter. Below we look at the central bank’s origins and three lessons we […]
Today we ask, what is wealth? As we start a new year many will be looking at their portfolios and wondering what 2023 will have in store for them. Similar to 2022, we suspect there will be a lot of unknowns. As with anything unforeseen, it’s a good idea to have some insurance. This is […]
Throughout 2022 Goldcore has been reminding readers that physical gold and silver investment is the best way to avoid the damaged systems run by governments. We have reminded readers that precious metals have no counterparty needed to vouch for or to approve their value, a fact which keeps them outside of the ‘system’. Next week […]
They say Christmas is a time for giving, and this is exactly the approach of central banks this year. Last week four central banks gave us interest rate hikes alongside hints at future hikes. This was as expected but what no one quite expected was the new counterintuitive approach they seem to be taking. This […]
Laurence J. Peter said, “An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn’t happen today.” Right now we think this might be the motto that helps central bankers sleep at night. Terrifying as that may seem, investors do not have to just “wait-and-see” what impact central bank policies […]
Which of these central banks have set records this year? China India Turkey Iran This is actually a trick question as the answer is all of them. That’s right they have all been part of an enormous central bank push to move away from the US Dollar and add more gold to their respective coffers. […]

Investors choose to invest in gold bars and buy silver bars because there is no counterparty risk. In a world where money is devalued every second and governments are scrambling to stay afloat, it’s worth holding some assets outside of the increasingly tenuous financial system. Below, we look at two countries who couldn’t agree more. […]
Football, love it or hate it, will dominate news outlets and Zoom small talk for the next month. Both the sport and the politics have entered the debating arenas, but there has been little mention of the whopping prize fund. Yes, football is one of the world’s largest industries, but is the prize fund just […]
When you invest in gold or buy silver coins with GoldCore you are choosing to invest in an asset that has no counterparty risk.

The US midterms have not produced the ‘red tsunami’ so many political commentators predicted. But the Democrats could still lose the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate, as well. The implications this could have on policy making could be dramatic. Even if the swell of red is more of a ripple than a wave, […]
Yesterday the Fed hiked rates. It wasn’t exactly a surprise. For gold and silver investors it was yet another great opportunity to remind ourselves why we invest in gold bars or buy silver coins – because central banks are predictable. They do not have perfect economic knowledge, they do not create long-term value and they […]
The pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war have shown just how quickly supply chains can be disrupted by geopolitical instability. More than ever we are beginning to appreciate how important it is to secure access to alternative energy supplies. But, paradoxically, the resources the world needs to make this happen are tied up by the very […]
One of the biggest reasons for people deciding to buy gold bars or to own silver coins is because of the folly of central banks and government.

To invest in gold and silver is to invest outside of the system. When you buy gold bars or silver coins you are choosing to hold assets that can protect other assets in your portfolio from the poor actions taken by counterparties. For example: money printing by central banks, inflationary government policies, mismanagement of a […]

So Ben Bernanke has won a Nobel Prize for kicking a can down the road! Many will have heard the saying ‘those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it’. It is often attributed to Churchill, but he was in fact quoting George Santanya. We prefer the Stephen Hawking quote, ‘“We spend […]
This week we ask if the wobble experienced by UK pension funds, last week, was just the canary in the gold mine for the global economy. If not for other central banks then this was certainly a reminder for individuals, who were prompted to ask about the levels of counterparty risk their savings and pensions […]

This morning the UK pound slumped as one of the world’s oldest central banks pressed hard on the panic button. The Bank of England was seen to be shouting ‘Pivot! Pivot! Pivaat!’ as they announced they would temporarily suspend their programme to sell gilts and will instead buy long-dated bonds. In a statement, the bank […]

Today’s guest on GoldCore TV thinks it’s very likely that in the next ten years we will be moving onto a new gold standard. It is of course, not uncommon for gold market commentators to say something along these lines. But Jan Nieuwenhuijs is a gold analyst, who is bringing the chat around gold demand […]
We last spoke to Jim Rogers way back in January. He told us then that we were set to see the ‘worst bear market’ in his ‘lifetime’. Since then, a lot has changed. Russia has invaded Ukraine, inflation has gone on a tear, Europe is facing a major energy crisis and the US has been […]
It is easy to get caught up in data releases. The media is keen to read a lot into them, hoping it will offer some sense of what is really going on, so often the news is about numbers just announced or expectations for what one economic measure will show from one month to the next. […]
Realising that you need to protect your portfolio from financial systemic risks is a tricky thing. Because, not only have you identified that all is not well in the economy but you now need to make a decision about how best to protect your investments. In all likelihood, this is why you own or are […]
One of the reasons people choose to invest in gold bullion or to buy silver coins is because they are simple and they are finite; basically the opposite of fiat currency. The complexity of fiat-driven markets and infinite possibilities to create money works to the advantage of central banks. And they particularly like to take […]
Where do you turn to, right now?

It would be easy for those who have decided to buy gold and silver bullion to lose heart over the precious metals, had they seen how prices reacted to Chairman Powell’s comments, last week. However, to do this would be very short-sighted. Whilst Powell may well have signaled that the Fed will stay on this […]
It is becoming increasingly clear that UN Nations are realising that it is very difficult to isolate a country that is already a global power. And not just a global power in terms of the military but also in terms of the world’s dependence on its energy exports. However, Russia’s energy exports are not the […]

We’re the first to admit that investing in gold can be pretty boring. Don’t get us wrong, when you first decide to buy gold then the newness of it is exciting, as you choose which gold bullion dealer to use then it is interesting and when you actually see the gold bars or coins appear […]

When “whatever it takes” means confiscation of wealth One of the reasons people decide to buy gold bullion or add silver coins to their portfolio is because they cannot be devalued.

Unsurprisingly the Fed raised rates yesterday. The price of gold and the silver price rallied, suggesting more people are realising there is little the Fed can do to influence the economy at this stage and so it might be better to take control of their portfolios and invest in gold bullion and buy silver. After […]
What if we told you that you could predict the future? For today’s guest, this is certainly the case when it comes to future market events.

Have you ever questioned why central banks around the world target CPI inflation at 2%?

For him this means many things but principally big results for the […]
Central banks…why bother? Inflation is here and it cannot be contained. US inflation is touching a 40-year high, the UK has hit the 40-year high, and the EU’s has already hit an all-time high. Figures of 8%, 9%, and 7% respectively are bad enough. This gives people strong enough reason to want to abolish central […]

“I think he was…the greatest economic public servant of the era.’ It’s common knowledge that Paul Volcker is a professional hero of Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
