Forced sovereign liquidations could ignite gold’s next long-term bull run, says SPI's Innes

SPI Asset Management’s Stephen Innes argues the gold selloff was a liquidity crisis driven by forced sovereign sales amid the oil shock, not a collapse in demand. As inflation cools and growth slows, central banks may ease policy, potentially setting up a new long-term gold bull run with gold serving as monetary insurance in a fractured, underinvested global economy—an outlook reinforced by China’s reserve diversification strategy.

Trump’s Golden Phone Flops in Media Reviews

The long-awaited Trump Mobile T1 gold phone, priced around $500, has been sent to media for review and drawn harsh verdicts: it looks nothing like the advertised design, features a smaller screen than promised, and its marketing claims (Made in America) have shifted to “designed with American values.” Reviewers question the device’s internal hardware, software updates, and whether customers who pre-ordered will actually receive a product, noting inconsistencies like an 11-stripe American flag on the back and uncertainty about shipping timelines.

Gold’s Surface Pattern Dictates Oxygen Activation, Explaining Inertia in Bulk and Reactivity in Nanoparticles

Computational study shows that gold’s surface atom arrangement governs its ability to activate oxygen: tightly packed reconstructed surfaces block O2 from splitting, keeping bulk gold inert, while looser unreconstructed square-like surfaces allow oxygen dissociation, enabling nanoparticle-catalyzed oxidation and suggesting new ways to design gold-based catalysts that balance durability with reactivity.

Gold’s Surface Hexagon: The Atomic Trick Behind Its Lasting Shine

Researchers used computer simulations to show gold’s surface atoms rearrange into hexagonal patterns that dramatically suppress oxidation (by about a billion to a trillion), explaining its long-lasting shine and suggesting new ways to optimize gold-catalyzed reactions.

JPMorgan trims gold outlook on cooler demand, eyes second-half rebound

JPMorgan cut its 2026 gold price forecast to $5,243/oz from $5,708 due to softer near-term demand, but keeps a bullish longer-term view with a year-end target around $6,000/oz; the pullback is seen as a pause, with demand expected to reaccelerate in H2 as inflation tail risks ease after potential Iran-related D/E developments and a possible Strait of Hormuz reopening. The bank also trimmed its 2026 central-bank purchases to 640 tonnes and ETF inflows to about 400 tonnes, while warning that a strong U.S. jobs market and higher inflation could prompt Fed rate hikes and ETF outflows. Gold remains range-bound near $4,340–$4,730, with catalysts including geopolitical developments and policy signals shaping the path to a recovery.

Bond King Gundlach bets on cash and gold as 2026 rate cuts fade

Jeff Gundlach, the 'Bond King' and DoubleLine Capital CIO, recommends a portfolio with about 20% cash and 20% real assets (including commodities and gold) as he expects no Fed rate cuts in 2026; he warns that stocks look pricey given upside risk to rates and advises avoiding risk assets until rate paths become clearer, noting gold could be bought aggressively if it falls below $3,500/oz and that gold trades around $4,750/oz today.

Morgan Stanley sets a $5,200/oz gold target for late this year, driven by renewed ETF and central-bank buying, a weaker dollar and expected Fed rate cuts, but cautions that gold has shifted from a pure safe-haven to a real-yields trade, having fallen about 14.5% since the Iran conflict began.

Red-state bills push gold and silver as usable currency

Some red-state lawmakers are proposing laws to let people pay with gold and silver and to set up gold stockpiles, arguing it could hedge inflation; Georgia drafted such a bill, Utah already allows some gold-related measures, and similar efforts have surfaced in Arizona, Oklahoma, and Iowa. Proponents say it simply adds payment options, not a replacement for dollars, while critics note gold’s price volatility and that it is not true money.
