Last Week in Investing

Last week’s markets were driven by one word: UNCERTAINTY.

• Gold and silver hit record highs before pulling back

• The US dollar weakened as trade tensions resurfaced

• Tariff threats and geopolitical conflicts increased risk sentiment

Next Level Take:
When policy direction becomes unpredictable, capital looks for safety and currencies feel the impact immediately.

The Big Story — Why Gold Took The Spotlight

1️⃣ Trade Policy Uncertainty Is Back

New tariff threats and shifting global trade relationships under Donald Trump have unsettled investors.

Markets reacted not just to the tariffs themselves but to the lack of clarity on what comes next.

2️⃣ Safe Haven Rotation Accelerated

Analysts like Emma Wall noted that when political and trade tensions rise, gold tends to benefit first.

Over the past year:

• Gold rose ~80%

• Silver surged over 200%

• The US Dollar Index slipped ~10%

This divergence shows how quickly capital can rotate when confidence in policy direction weakens.

3️⃣ Central Banks & Large Buyers Still Supporting Prices

Central banks continue to hold gold as a neutral reserve asset, reducing dependence on the dollar.

Meanwhile, new large-scale buyers, including firms like Tether, have added further demand pressure, reinforcing gold’s position as a diversification tool rather than just a speculative asset.

What Investors Are Watching Now

Supportive Factors

• Continued tariff threats or trade escalation

• Ongoing geopolitical conflicts

• Central bank accumulation

Pullback Risks

• Stronger-than-expected USD rebound

• Clear policy stability signals

• Reduced inflation expectations

Lesson Of The Week

Uncertainty doesn’t just move gold, it moves currencies even faster.

Gold reacts to fear.

Currencies react to policy direction, trade flows, and capital movement in real time.

Julian Yong’s 2-Trade Philosophy That Earns $1,000+ USD a Day

More trades don’t pay, better ones do.

That’s the core of Julian Yong’s 2-Trade Philosophy.

He doesn’t chase the market all day.

At Genesis Pips, he focuses on taking just 2 well-planned trades per day.

Spotted using his simple SRR & RSS strategies (Backtested with over 93% win rate).

With this, he earns over $1,000 USD/ day from the Forex market! 

If you put that into perspective:

$1,000 a day × 7 days a week × 12 months

That’s over $336,000 USD a year just from disciplined trading.

But what really stands out isn’t the number.

It’s the lifestyle behind it.

Julian prepares his trades, places his trades, and then steps away…

Freeing up the rest of his day for family, and simply living life without being tied to the screen.

Because real consistency in trading isn’t about trading more.

It’s about trading with precision.

And Julian isn’t doing this alone.

Inside the Genesis Pips community, students are using the same RSS & SRR strategies and many are seeing amazing results! 

If you’d like to learn…

Julian is hosting a live class this Thursday evening!
