In this week’s Money Metals Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey draws a sharp parallel between preparing for hurricanes and preparing for financial storms. 

Since hitting a record high of $3,500 an ounce in April, gold has consolidated and generally traded sideways over the last several months. Some have speculated that the rally might be over, but economist Thorsten Polleit believes the rally is far from over.

President Trump has, it is clear, upended the global trading system and America’s place in it through his aggressive use of tariffs as a tool of personal power. These actions would have shocked the Founding Fathers as offensive to the spirit of their new...
