An economist says that the price of precious metals is sending an important warning to global financial stability.
Since the beginning of 2025 the US Dollar Index has depreciated by 10.41%. This means that the reserve currency of the world has been heavily depreciated compared to a basket of other major currencies such as the yen, euro and pound.
Dollars have declined as gold and other precious metals such as silver are experiencing historic breakthroughs. Gold has risen 65.32% per ounce to $4331 and silver by 147.97% per ounce to $72.
Tyler Cowen, an economist at The Free Press says that the sudden rise in the price of precious metals is a warning to the economy.
The rush to buy precious metals is something that should concern us all. This is a sign of a potentially disastrous new danger.
Economic correlation is increasing. In everyday English that means there are fewer financial safeguards if things go bad, whether economically or politically. The precious metals have taken over the role of hedge and protection that was once played by the US Dollar .”
Cowen says US leaders and policies are being viewed as chaotic sources, which is eroding the confidence that the dollar has historically played in protecting the economy.
It used to be, if one was worried about the financial future, they would invest in dollars, a safe asset. In finance, this is called a countercyclical investment, as it remains resilient even when other assets with higher risk fall.
If the United States government is unpredictable and their economy volatile, then you may want to look at other hedges. The chaos in America, especially in the White House is forcing investors to look for alternatives to the US dollar .”
