Gold Soars to Record Highs: Is $4,000 Gold on the Horizon?

By Brannon Howse

Gold has hit yet another record high, soaring past $3,300 an ounce, while silver has climbed above $33.05. These unprecedented price surges are making headlines, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing. According to Bloomberg’s Mike McGlone, we could be staring down $4,000 gold as risk assets begin to crack under mounting economic pressures. But some, like renowned economist Peter Schiff, are sounding even louder alarms, warning of a looming dollar collapse and a liquidity crisis that could force the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates and return to quantitative easing.

On my recent broadcast, I had the chance to discuss these developments with Michael Weiner, a trusted expert in precious metals and a friend of the program. Weiner, who accurately predicted gold would hit $3,000 by the end of March, is now raising his outlook to $4,200 or even $4,500 by year’s end. “Gold is being used as money again,” Weiner told me, pointing to global trends and domestic economic instability. “The world is embracing gold, and we’ve got major issues in the bond market and a debt crisis that’s coming to a head.”

Weiner’s analysis aligns with what many of us have been saying for years: the U.S. economy is on shaky ground. Under the Biden administration, excessive money printing has fueled inflation and destabilized the bond market. Now, with a massive debt turnover looming, the Federal Reserve is caught in a bind. Schiff argues they’ll have no choice but to lower interest rates and pump more liquidity into the system, further eroding the dollar’s value. Weiner agrees, noting a “huge bond instability situation” that could spiral if not addressed.

What does this mean for you? As I’ve said time and again, gold and silver are tangible assets that act as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. I don’t give financial advice, but my opinion is clear: now is the time to educate yourself about precious metals. As Weiner pointed out, waiting could be costly. “It’s better to jump in now around $3,000 an ounce than to wait for it to go to $5,000,” he said, echoing a sentiment I heard from listeners at the Waukesha Expo Center. One couple shared how they finally moved their IRA into gold after five years of hesitation, and they’re thrilled with the decision.

Weiner also highlighted a critical point: many financial advisors shy away from recommending gold because they don’t profit from it. Unlike paper assets, gold is a tangible, non-fungible asset that doesn’t generate ongoing fees. “Financial planners don’t embrace gold because they don’t understand it,” Weiner explained. This is why education is so vital. You need to do your own homework and make informed decisions.

The global picture only reinforces the case for gold. Weiner noted that countries like China are leveraging gold within the BRICS alliance, signaling a shift away from the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Meanwhile, here at home, states like Utah are exploring ways to pay bills in gold, and there’s talk of the U.S. government re-embracing gold as a monetary standard, potentially setting a floor price that could drive values even higher.

Michael Weiner and his team at Worldview Gold are committed to educating you, not selling you. Whether you’re interested in numismatic coins (pre-1933 for added privacy), bullion, or moving your IRA into gold, they’ll walk you through the process. As one happy listener told me, working with Weiner’s team was a game-changer.

Folks, we’re living in historic times. When I first heard Jim Rickards talk about $5,000 gold years ago, it sounded unthinkable. Now, with gold at $3,332 and climbing, that once-crazy number doesn’t seem so far off. The question isn’t whether you can afford to act—it’s whether you can afford to wait.
