The Forces Driving Gold Higher
Debt, Trade, and Scarcity: The Perfect Storm
Global Shipping of Gold
Geopolitical Instability
In today’s �nancial landscape, debt is everywhere—from households to governments. The
International Monetary Fund warns that over $8 trillion in corporate and government debt
will mature in the next 18 months. Much of this debt was issued at rock-bottom rates. Now,
re�nancing at today’s higher rates is squeezing borrowers and driving capital toward hard
assets like gold.
Major banks, including JPMorgan and HSBC, are not just talking about gold—they’re
moving it. They’re shipping billions of dollars’ worth of physical gold from London to New
York to cover futures positions, capitalizing on a nearly $20 premium in New York. This
movement is a loud signal: the smart money is shifting to tangible assets.
Trade tensions, regional con�icts, and the imposition of new tariffs are rattling markets
worldwide. In times like these, gold isn’t merely a commodity—it’s peace of mind. As
geopolitical instability intensi�es, central banks and �nancial institutions double down on
their gold positions.
