The Real Reason Gold Turned This Week, and Who's Quietly Buying | This Week In Focus
Jul 3, 2026 Market Updates and Analysis
Gold just closed its worst quarter in more than 13 years, then roared back above $4,100 as the new Fed chair signaled he may ease off. Is the gold selloff over, and is gold a buy now?
This week in focus: what actually turned gold around, why the world's central banks never stopped buying, and what happens next, with Rick Rule, Jeff Sarti, and Chris Vermeulen. Plus, Kitco goes live from Rick Rule's Natural Resource Investing Symposium in Boca Raton on Monday.
Anchor Jeremy Szafron breaks down the week: gold's worst quarter in 13 years and the sharp reversal, the Warsh comment that JPMorgan said sent the debasement trade roaring back, the soft jobs report that cooled Fed rate-hike bets, the AI and chip selloff that rotated money into defensives and gold, why Western ETF selling met relentless central-bank buying, the gold miners priced as if gold were only $3,350, and the signals to watch from here. Not investment advice, you decide.
Rick Rule will be hosting the 2026 Rule Symposium on Natural Resource Investing, July 6-10 in Boca Raton, and Kitco will be there on the ground. The in-person event is sold out, but you can join the livestream and access the replays through the year here: (https://cvent.me/XOqdLa?via=Kitco-News)
