Gold has recently experienced a remarkable resurgence, setting record highs and drawing renewed attention from both retail and institutional investors. This shift comes as traditional safe-haven assets are increasingly perceived to be under threat.
Strategists at Bank of America suggest that investors, including central banks, should consider reallocating into gold as a means of protecting wealth against persistent inflation and the risks associated with excessive fiat currency creation and government borrowing.
“Gold looks to be the last ‘safe-haven’ asset standing, incentivizing traders including central banks to increase exposure,” said a Bank of America strategist.
As U.S. debt continues its upward trajectory, there are concerns regarding Treasury supply risks. Analysts warn that higher interest rate payments relative to GDP will elevate gold’s appeal in the coming years.
The financial landscape is not solely about U.S. spending patterns; analysts have referenced insights from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which anticipates global spending could reach 7% to 8% of GDP annually by 2030.
“Ultimately, something has to give: if markets become reluctant to absorb all the debt and volatility increases, gold may be the last perceived safe-haven asset standing.”
The analysts elaborated on how “central banks, in particular, could further diversify their currency reserves.”
Individual investors, especially retirees with their life’s savings locked in retirement accounts, have been increasingly interested in moving their money to gold and silver.
“The general sentiment is that the election will spike precious metals prices,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group. “If Trump wins, there will be short term chaos from those who hate him. If Harris wins, there will be long-term instability due to her poor economic plans.
“Either way, gold and silver are poised to keep going up for the foreseeable future.”
This is arguably the biggest immediate reason why so many, including Bank of America analysts, believe gold will continue to rise despite being at record levels already. Between election turmoil and an unsustainable national debt, physical precious metals are arguably the most attractive form of investment available today.
“The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget notes that the national debt is projected to reach a new record high as a share of the economy only three years from now, well within the next presidential term, pushing up interest rate payments as a share of GDP,” they said. “In turn, this makes gold an attractive asset, so we reaffirm our $3,000/oz target,”
Genesis is among the many companies in the United States that rolls over or transfers retirement accounts into IRAs backed by physical precious metals. What differentiates them is their adherence to a faith-driven style of business. This is why their margins and fees are far below the industry average.
“Just as we recommend our clients focus on the long-term, so too do we emphasize lifetime relationships with our clients instead of ‘big hits’ that drive heavy profits for other precious metals companies,” Rose said. “We’re content with win-win engagements so we can all find a safe haven with precious metals together.”

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
