As I write about here in much more detail:
Gold prices have been on a tear this year, hitting record after record. Economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions have been bolstering the traditional safe-haven asset. But also juicing the rally has been surprising demand from China

Tariffs and uncertainty are sending gold prices to record highs just today, after steep increases during 2024 already. Read about why it's happening, and what it means for the trade in dirty gold
You wouldn't know from FoxNews gold coin ads and other rightwing goldbuggery, but there's actually a material economy behind gold&the gold trade. It's often shady&dirty, and, you guessed it, tied to tax havens, today and in the past. Wrote about it here:

The existing historical literature is full of smaller and bigger factual and interpretative errors about offshore's history as it is based on educated guesses and a few published stats in older works, rather than archival work. Newer works copy errors in older books etc.
