Inflation’s Falling. But Gold Is Still Rising. Why?

Inflation is cooling.

Truflation shows it around 1.3%, and the latest CPI reading came in at 2.8%. Analyst are even predicting a quick fall to 2.5% for this month.

Some say the storm has passed. But gold?

It’s still near all-time highs.

What gives?

What the Smart Money Sees

Gold isn’t reacting to last month’s inflation number. It’s reacting to something deeper:

• A debt spiral with no end in sight

• Diminishing trust in the dollar

• And growing demand for assets that don’t rely on promises

In 2022 and 2023, central banks bought more gold than at any time in over 50 years.

This isn’t about panic. It’s about long-term positioning.

Even with inflation cooling, the structural problems aren’t going away.

The Dollar's Long-Term Risk Profile Is Changing

The U.S. has passed $34 trillion in debt. Interest payments are ballooning.
And the Fed, while cautiously optimistic, is still threading a needle between inflation and financial fragility.

No central banker will admit defeat. But the gold price doesn’t lie.

Gold is now a strategic hedge, not just inflation insurance

Gold is about protecting against currency debasement, systemic risk, and policy mistakes.

Inflation numbers may fluctuate—but the bigger story is playing out underneath.

3 Smart Ways to Approach Gold Right Now

If you’re thinking about adding gold to your portfolio, consider this:

1. Dollar-Cost Average (DCA). Don't try to time the market. Just start small and build your position over time.

2. Use Tax-Advantaged Accounts. You can roll over part of your IRA or 401(k) into gold—without triggering taxes or penalties.

3. Hold Some Physical. Even a small amount of privately held metal adds an extra layer of resilience.

Final Thoughts

Markets are calm—for now. But calm doesn’t mean secure.

Gold is protection without counterparty risk.

And in this financial system, that’s more valuable than ever.

Until next time,
