Watch that GOLD

Gold prices have surged once again, breaking records as investors brace for the economic impact of Trump’s incoming "Liberation Day" tariffs. The precious metal soared to $3,150.30 an ounce on Comex, marking a 10.6% gain for the month and a 19.3% rise for the quarter—its best performance since 1986. While some analysts predict further gains beyond $3,200, others warn that gold is now in a precarious zone, signaling a potential pullback.

Adding to the shifting market landscape, Oaktree Capital Management has launched a $4 billion special situations fund, targeting distressed debt and structured equity… a clear reflection of the uncertain financial climate.

As global markets react to geopolitical and economic shifts, investors are moving cautiously. Whether gold continues its rally or faces a correction, the next quarter will be crucial for market watchers. Stay tuned for further updates!
