Introduction

As predicted, all the various gold/silver sectors, be they bullion, large-cap or small cap equities, have declined considerably amid concerns that Trump’s proposed tariffs and immigration could reignite inflation and inflation, which offers no yield, makes gold less attractive to investors.
