The signs are many and becoming increasingly harder to ignore.
And all of them are pointing to something inevitable.
If you have any of the gold companies that we talk about across our different services in your portfolio, then you already see it playing out.
If you don’t, then you might see it in the headlines.
In short, gold prices have been going up, hitting new highs, and that rise doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
As of the time of this writing, the price of an ounce of gold is $3682. It has the tailwinds behind it to go even higher. It’s hard to say just where the potential ceiling is, but the one thing we can say with confidence is that it’s going to make investors and mining companies rich before it hits that ceiling.
And that makes complete sense if you look at what’s going on in the world. A few things are playing out right in front of us that are adding fuel to the proverbial fire of gold price rises.
- Trump is trying to pressure the Federal Reserve on monetary policy - It started with his firing of Fed Governor Lisa Cook, a move that has since been blocked by a judge. He wants to install a loyalist named Stephan Miran in a bid to influence the actions of the traditionally independent Federal Reserve. Miran’s confirmation could happen as soon as this coming Monday, the 15th, just ahead of the Fed’s next vote. All signs are pointing to rates being cut anyway, but Trump installing a loyalist could lay the groundwork for future partisan action to influence economic policy that would erode confidence in the Fed.
- Job growth is slowing - This could be the most clear reason why gold prices are on the upswing. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently revised total employment between March 2024 and March 2025 by 911,000 jobs, a downward adjustment of 0.6%. That shows an economy losing steam in a trend that has been ongoing for much of the year.
- Consumers are pessimistic - You may have seen this anecdotally, if not experiencing it personally. Given job growth slowdown, along with rising inflation, people are less optimistic about the economy for the immediate future. Overall, this is one of the most obvious reasons why money is pouring into gold.
- Geopolitical tensions are threatening stability - Russia continues pursuing its agenda in Ukraine, and it’s increasingly looking like there will be wider European involvement as Trump flounders on US commitment to standing up to Russia. Gold has historically gone up in times of war and that’s going to prove true once again as the situation deteriorates.
All of this to say, now is the time to own gold.
Savvy investors are already starting to make their moves. While some are buying up physical bullion to store away, the real fortunes are going to be made in the little-known mining companies with access to massive reserves.
These are the companies that, based on one successful drill hole, could potentially see their share prices rise many multiples. It’s happened in past gold bulls and it’s poised to happen again with the one unfolding right in front of us.
These exploration companies are already being eyed by major producers for buyouts because they’re desperate for new reserves. That means investors in these smaller companies will be able to bring in the kinds of profits that can set up generational wealth.
You can find all the details about one such gold play in the pages of Junior Resource Speculator. There, Gerardo Del Real goes over a trio of little-known exploration companies, one of them a gold company, that he thinks have 10x-100x profit potential.
