Gold doubled in price and the Dollar at a 3-year low. How much blame falls on Trump's shoulders?

[Luckyone]

I didn't hear him say a word about the price of gold, Banker.
I think that's what you WANTED him to say for the sake of a gotchya.

Nobody can predict the price of gold except for maybe short term.
There are just too many variables for any long term prediction.
You're not very good at this Banker.

No, that is not what I meant. I meant he was to fix all of the underlying causes (such as inflation and uncertainty) from day one. If he had done that, Gold would not have had a reason to go up in price like it did! He has done the opposite and that is why Gold has doubled in price over the past 8 months!!!!

 

[berg80]

Well I have no interest in gold, so I guess I can't really blame anybody.

If you don't want to own physical gold there's another way to benefit from its rise. I've owned stock symbol AEM, a gold miner, since Dotard was elected and have done well with it. The investment thesis being tariffs are inflationary, deficits boosts gold's value, and so does the kind of chaos the orange piece of shit creates when he opens his stupid mouth. Which he can't keep shut, so.........

Take a look at the 1 year chart.

in 9 months wages are up inflation slowing tax cuts for the middle class and seniors increased spending power, DOW at record highs, tariffs will pay off the deficit in 2 years, gas and oil down, works fir me. Biden had 4 years to wreck the economy.

Then, explain why people are buying Gold like crazy!

what a stupid comparison (Gold and AI)

The only reason to buy gold is protection against inflation and uncertainty.

The reason to buy AI is because it is a future thing that all companies will be using.

The former is a negative and that latter a positive. How can you compare them.

 

[berg80]

And yet you attribute it strictly to Trump without understanding we are talking globally. Other countries are not real excited with the U.S. running a continual debt. They do not mind putting faith in gold.
Somehow you keep dismissing the fact that the Dow has continued to climb. If everything were because of Trump and only Trump then the Dow should be flat or dropping.
Continue yelling the sky is falling.

There's some analysis out there I've read positing that without the AI bonanza (chip purchases, data center expansion, more power generation needed) there would be no GDP growth.

The other thing to consider is the saying, "Don't fight the Fed." Meaning when interest rates are declining (due to a faltering economy and growing unemployment) you buy stocks in anticipation of an economic rebound.

Gold has doubled in price, and the dollar has dropped in price to a 3-year low, and all of this happening since Trump took office in January of this year.

How much blame should he be charged with.

What’s happened to the price of gold this year?​

The price of gold has risen more than 50 percent since the start of 2025 in a historic run for the asset. Much of the surge has been fueled by United States President Donald Trump, who returned to the White House at the start of the year.

Gold prices rose sharply in April when Trump launched a trade war against much of the world, and it rallied again in August as the US president attacked the independence of the Federal Reserve – the US central bank.

Anxious Investors Push Gold Above $4,000 an Ounce for the First Time​

Gold, often seen as a haven during times of turmoil, is on course for its best year since 1979, when prices surged over 100 percent during a period of high inflation, a depreciating dollar and a geopolitical crisis in the Middle East.

There are uncomfortable echoes of that past surge today, said analysts, who attributed the recent rise in gold prices to demand from investors looking to shift away from U.S. assets at a time of political upheaval and uncertainty, highlighted by the government shutdown. The gold rally also reflects a strong undercurrent of unease among investors, even as stocks have repeatedly set records, giving Wall Street a bullish air.

Dollar slides to 3-year low on report Trump plans to name next Fed chair early​

This articles above says it all. Since Trump took office, there is turmoil, political upheaval, uncertainty, as well as fear of inflation rearing up ahead (given that Gold is always the safe haven chosen when inflation goes up).

These FACTS (Gold doubling in price, and Dollar down to multi-year lows) means that Trump's actions are being seen much more of a negative to our nation than them being a positive.

This is not opinion but fact, given that money talks! This is not Democrats worrying (and crying) about Trump, but everyone scurrying to find ways to protect themselves against the consequences of Trump's actions!

Gold is high because of the many Biden wars. Stock market has set 30 record highs in the past couple of months.

Energy prices are down, cattle prices are up about 25% from two years ago. What's not to like about the Trump administration?

 

[Foxfyre]

Ever hear of AI?

that is what has been driving the stock market. The economy is faltering and as such, the rally in the stock market does not reflect it!

As far as education (both from school and from Life's experiences), I have 10 times more than you!

And yet according to Morningstar it remains strong and overvalued.

Why It Sponsors Gold Bugs

The government owned $14 trillion in gold to pay off the interest on the National Debt. It is now worth $28 trillion.

You are so full of shit, old man. The US dollar is currently at 119.9023, which it was lower than three years ago. But it's still higher that Biden's and Obama's lowest points, which were 110.5275 and 106.5052 respectively. So go **** yourself and get the **** out of here with your fearmongering bullshit.

Look I get it you and the rest of the loyal democrats have been forecasting an economic failure if Trump got elected when he first started running. But hey hope and pray for the down fall of the U.S. all you want if it makes you happy. Funny thing is there are economists that also say the exact opposite of what the economists you cite are saying.

 

[Nobody911]

The king Trump is not the only one affecting the US economy; in fact, everything in the world is interconnected.

The doubling of gold prices and the U.S. dollar hitting a 3-year low in 2025 can be significantly linked to President Donald Trump's policies and actions but are not solely attributable to him. Trump's return to the presidency in January 2025, his trade tariffs, fiscal policies, and his vocal criticisms and interventions regarding Federal Reserve independence have all been factors influencing gold's surge and the dollar's decline.

These factors created uncertainty and pressure on the dollar, making gold, a traditional safe-haven asset, more attractive to investors. However, broader issues such as central bank gold purchases, geopolitical tensions, weakening economic conditions, and expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts also play crucial roles.

Regarding crypto markets, the information does not indicate a direct or major impact of cryptocurrencies on gold prices or the dollar's value during this period. The gold rally is primarily driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, fiscal and monetary policies, and changes in investor behavior related to traditional assets.

Trump's Influence on Gold and Dollar

Trump's tariffs and trade policies heightened market uncertainty, leading investors to seek safe-haven assets like gold.

His relentless criticism and attempts to influence the Federal Reserve, including calls for rate cuts and threats to Fed officials, eroded confidence in U.S. monetary policy, weakening the dollar.

Trump's fiscal policies contributed to rising government debt concerns, prompting gold buying as a hedge.

Market analysts view Trump as a key but not exclusive factor in gold's price trajectory; other elements such as geopolitical conflicts, fiscal policies in other countries, and central bank activities also impact.

Other Key Factors

Central banks worldwide increased gold purchases amid geopolitical crises and diversifying reserves away from the dollar.

The U.S. dollar significantly weakened due to trade uncertainties, fiscal deficit worries, and expected Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.

The Federal Reserve's rate cuts in 2025, partly influenced by political pressures, lowered Treasury yields, making gold more appealing.

Geopolitical tensions in Europe and the Middle East sustained demand for gold as an all-occasions safe asset.

Relationship with Crypto Markets

The surge in gold and dollar weakness primarily relate to traditional macroeconomic and geopolitical factors.

No significant evidence directly ties the crypto market's movement or conditions as a causative factor in the gold price rally or dollar depreciation in 2025.

In sum, king Trump's policies and stance on the Federal Reserve played a notable role in creating conditions favorable for gold's rise and the dollar's decline, but these trends also depend on wider economic, geopolitical, and monetary factors. Cryptocurrency markets do not appear to have a direct, significant effect on this dynamic according to current analysis. aljazeera+5
