Gold Rockets Toward $3,700 as Fed Starts Multi-Year Rate Cuts
Well folks, here we go again.
The Federal Reserve just did exactly what we’ve been expecting—they cut interest rates, this time down to a target range of 4.00% to 4.25%. But here’s the kicker: this isn’t a one-off move. According to their own projections, they’re planning more cuts through the end of the year and well into 2026.
Translation? The dollar is in trouble. Big trouble.
And gold? It's loving every minute of it.
Spot gold surged up to $3,695.80 an ounce on the news—knocking on the door of $3,700—as investors started to see the writing on the wall. When your central bank is basically admitting the economy’s slowing, inflation’s still hot, and they're going to keep cutting rates anyway, that’s a clear sign: cash is trash. Gold is king.
Let me break it down in plain terms.
The Fed Just Blinked
The Fed’s official statement was classic doublespeak: they acknowledged the economy’s cooling off—slower job growth, rising unemployment—but they also admitted inflation is still “somewhat elevated.” So what do they do? Lower rates.
They’re trying to walk a tightrope, but they’ve already lost their balance.
The so-called “dot plot”—which is just their fancy way of forecasting interest rates—now shows one more rate cut this year, two in 2026, and maybe one more by 2027. That’s a big shift from the “higher-for-longer” nonsense they were peddling just a few months ago.
Michael Brown from Pepperstone put it plainly: the Fed is now front-loading these cuts, and the market knows it. This is essentially a slow-motion surrender to economic reality.
Inflation Isn’t Going Away
Despite the rate cuts, the Fed still thinks core inflation will be 3.1% this year, and stay stubbornly above 2% until—get this—2028.
So let me ask you: what’s the point of cutting rates when inflation is still devouring our purchasing power? If your savings account is earning 3% but inflation’s at 3.1%, you’re still losing money. Every. Single. Day.
That’s the silent theft of fiat currency. That’s why I’ve said for years that putting your trust in the dollar is like parking your retirement in a rusted-out car that loses value the moment you drive it off the lot.
Gold and Silver: The Lifeboats in a Sinking Ship
When the Fed cuts rates, it makes holding dollars less attractive. Yields fall, and smart money looks for safety elsewhere. That’s why gold is heating up again. It’s not just a shiny rock—it’s real money, and it doesn’t need the Fed’s permission to hold its value.
And don’t sleep on silver, either. When gold runs, silver often follows with even bigger percentage gains.
Folks, if you’re still sitting on the sidelines, watching all this unfold and hoping it’ll just blow over, I get it. But the truth is, we are in a controlled demolition of the middle class, and fiat currency is the detonator.
Growth Projections: More Smoke and Mirrors
The Fed still claims the economy will grow by 1.6% this year, 1.8% next year, and on into 2028. But these are fairy tales. How do you get solid growth with rising unemployment, sticky inflation, and a Fed that's too scared to raise rates?
The real economy—the one you and I live in—is already showing cracks: layoffs, small business closures, skyrocketing credit card debt. What we’re seeing from the Fed is pure optics. It’s about headlines, not reality.
What You Should Do Right Now
Let me be blunt: you need to protect yourself.
Don’t wait for the next bank failure or a surprise announcement from the Fed to start thinking about gold and silver. This is the window. And it may not stay open for long.

Final Word
This latest rate cut is just the beginning. The Fed is trapped. They can’t raise rates without tanking the economy, and they can’t stop inflation without raising rates. So what do they do? They pretend. They hope. And they print.
But you don’t have to play along.
Protect yourself with real assets—gold and silver. Before the next shoe drops.
Stay safe out there,
