WHY GOLD HAS SOARED

The Eagle Has Landed – Why Gold’s Historic Rise Is Just Beginning

Nov 13, 2025

Gold has shattered records in recent months, breaking through barriers that seemed insurmountable just a year ago. As someone who has watched precious metals markets for years, I can tell you this rally feels different. This is not speculative fervor or inflation panic—this is structural repositioning on a global scale.

The metal that central banks are quietly hoarding, that has served as money for five millennia, is sending a clear signal: the monetary system as we know it is entering a period of profound transition. And for those paying attention, gold’s recent surge is not the end of the story—it is the opening chapter.

Understanding What We’re Really Trading

When I discuss gold with fellow investors, I often encounter confusion about what exactly we are competing against. The answer is simple: we are not just betting on a metal. We are positioning ourselves outside a global monetary system built entirely on the dominance of the US dollar, and the fallacy it was built upon.

That system, for those unfamiliar with its architecture, functions like this: Nearly every international transaction flows through dollars. When Sudan sells oil to Somalia—two countries with virtually no American trade—the deal is denominated in US currency. Not because it is convenient, but because there’s often no alternative. The infrastructure of global commerce, from pricing mechanisms to settlement systems, runs on dollars.

This arrangement, formalized through the petrodollar system in the 1970s, gives the United States an extraordinary advantage. Foreign nations must maintain massive dollar reserves to purchase energy and conduct international trade. This creates endless demand for US currency and Treasury securities, allowing America to print money and run deficits that would cripple any other nation.

For fifty years, this system has been unassailable. Until now.

The Cracks in the Foundation

Russia’s removal from SWIFT payment systems demonstrated that dollars can be weaponized. China’s establishment of yuan-denominated oil contracts proved that alternatives, however nascent, can exist. Central banks from Turkey to Poland to China have accelerated gold purchases to levels not seen in decades, often conducting these acquisitions quietly, without public fanfare.

These are not the actions of nations preparing for next quarter. These are multi-decade strategic moves.

The proposed BRICS currency, alternative payment systems, bilateral trade agreements in local currencies—everyone sees these as threats to the dollar. I see them differently. They are symptoms of a deeper realization: in a multipolar world, monetary neutrality has value. And nothing is more neutral than gold.

Why This Rally Is Different

I’ve traded through several gold bull markets. I recall the 1970s inflation surge. The 2008 financial crisis. The 2011 parabolic rise. Each had its own character, its own drivers. This one stands apart.

Previous rallies were driven primarily by Western investors seeking inflation hedges or crisis protection. They were psychological—fear trades that reversed when confidence returned.

This rally is institutional. It’s structural. And critically, it’s happening while Western investment demand remains relatively subdued. The price isn’t being driven by retail panic or even significant ETF inflows. It’s being driven by central banks and sovereign wealth funds making strategic allocation decisions.

When gold broke through its previous all-time highs, it didn’t pause, correct sharply, or show signs of speculative excess. It consolidated briefly and continued climbing. This is not the behavior of a speculative bubble.

This is what we’re really investing in: an asset that exists outside the fiat system entirely. No counterparty risk. No political control. No capacity to print more supply in response to government deficits.

For investors willing to think in multi-year timeframes, the question isn’t whether to own gold. It’s whether you own enough. The eagle hasn’t just landed in breaking through previous highs—it has taken flight again toward altitudes previously unimaginable.

The marathon has just begun, and gold is extending its lead with every passing quarter. Those who recognize this aren’t speculating—they’re positioning themselves for what comes next in the evolution of money itself.
