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

[Luckyone]

Did you forget the stock market is at record highs?

It is giving that up today because of Trump's action earlier this morning.

Trump always finds a way to wreck things

LOL. You're in the business. The DOW is down like 1% today, something that has happened umpteen million times before over centuries. It means nothing and you know it means nothing.

Gold is over rated

 

[Rambunctious]

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!

What was it under Biden...

I strongly suggest that you look at the OP I just put up in the "breaking news" forum. You will see exactly what Xi has done and Trump's reaction, which WILL cause the market to head lower..............perhaps much lower.

that is why all of this happening is so indicative of Trump's incompetence

You should totally stock up on gold.

I have a lot of it. I started buying it in 1977 at $197 and ounce and have continued to buy it on as the years have gone by. It is now at over $4000. I love having stocked up on it!

LOL. So, you've broken out your broken crystal ball again? Do you ever get a clue that it is broken?

Gold has done well, but there are stocks that have had a much greater return compared to gold.

Trump detractors have done this before ….ie before Trump‘s first term they said that the markets would totally crash. And then throughout Trump‘s first term they kept saying “oh there’s bad signs everywhere”. But Nothing super bad happened. Everything was pretty much good. And they pulled the same propaganda stunt before Trump took office during his second term. Saying “oh there’s all sorts of bad signs the economy will crash” ….nope we’ve had a pretty good year market wise.

The stock market is performing well under Trump this year. The value of the US dollar goes up and down throughout history. Heck not too long ago the Canadian dollar was at par with the US dollar.

Compared to Biden the market has done better under Trump. That’s just the numbers there’s no debating this. This isn’t like debating if we should raise the minimum wage or not or some kind of policy thing. This is a number’s game flat out.

Nothing wrong with investing in gold. Nothing wrong with investing into an index fund or individual equities.

It appears the stock market is doing well do to inflation.

Reality is the market ain't that great when put in terms of gold price.

You are telling this BS to me? a man that has been a successful stock market analyst for 49 years and has worked (and got trained by) for the 2 biggest companies in the industry in the 80's!

You are a lunatic

Haha!!

This is the guy who continuously claimed the markets would tank after Trump was elected to his second term.

Lord only knows the doom and gloom you “predicted” before Trumps first Term.

The funny thing though, is that my own personal stock market account (as well of my newsletter subscribers that followed my lead and did the same) is up nicely this year:

Status of account/portfolio for 2025, as of 8/31
Profit of $22,965 per 100 shares.
