Toronto, Ontario, Canada – November 18, 2024 —
David and Aaron Merkur, the founders of Gold Silver Mart Canada, a leading gold dealer based in Toronto explain why a Trump administration could trigger a significant drop in gold prices. They point out that Trump is well known for having pro business and economic friendly policies which are expected to foster strong economic growth. Investors are already optimistic about a Trump presidency as is evident by the recent surge in the stock market. While a thriving economy is generally a good thing, it can sometimes have an adverse effect on gold.
Gold is primarily sought after as a safe haven asset, to hedge against inflation or to diversify in times of economic uncertainty. However, as investors gain confidence in a Trump economy, and the interest rates start to rise, gold becomes less appealing. This is because the rising interest rates mean that there is a greater opportunity cost to holding gold. Investors, eager to take advantage of the high interest rates, will invest in high-yielding assets rather than gold, especially given that they can invest in risk-free assets such as bonds. Additionally, the rising interest rates will strengthen the U.S dollar, and generally, when the dollar is doing well, gold takes a hit.
The position of gold is further worsened because there is an expectation that Trump’s foreign policy could help reduce global conflict and instability. The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have contributed to a global feeling of uncertainty. Being that gold is a safe haven asset that people turn to in times of uncertainty, this expectation of increased global stability could have an adverse effect on gold.
David Merkur, the CEO of Gold Silver Mart, explained, “As the market adapts to the new economic environment, we foresee a period where gold may not see the dramatic gains it once did. Investors should be aware that while gold remains a valuable asset, its performance may decline for the time being.”
Does Gold Have a Future in a Trump Economy?
It is important to understand that Trump’s victory doesn’t spell the end for gold, and for an investor focused on long term profits this should be little cause for concern, as markets are constantly cycling through phases of high and low certainty. While a Trump economy may bring newfound confidence temporarily there are plenty of dormant factors, ready to destabilize the economy and send investors running back to gold, causing its value to skyrocket. Some real possibilities include the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East worsening, or chaos ensuing from the unpredictable advancements in ai and quantum computing. If there is anything you can be sure of about gold, it is the time tested historic value of gold, which shows that in the long run, gold will always increase in value.
