Philip Diehl discusses the range of factors pushing gold near all-time highs. He argues the dollar is dropping because of a lack of interest in U.S. Treasuries, which is helping to boost gold as an alternative. He doesn’t think Bitcoin is a competitor to gold or a store of value. He thinks the Fed is taking “exactly the right approach” to lowering rates and thinks the tariff impact on the economy is still ahead. While the sky hasn’t fallen yet, he thinks the deficit is ‘beginning to crack’ that sky and we will hit uncharted territory in a few years.
