The U.S. put a 39% tariff (a tax) on certain gold bars (1 kg and 100 oz) that come from Switzerland. These specific bars are the exact ones used to settle gold futures contracts on the COMEX, the main U.S. gold exchange. Switzerland is the world’s biggest gold refiner, and a large portion of gold going to COMEX comes from there.

Why Does That Matter?

Because of the tariff, Swiss refiners stopped shipping those bars to the U.S. That means there’s less physical gold available to fulfill gold futures contracts in New York. So traders who need to deliver gold for futures contracts are scrambling to find eligible bars.

Market Impact?

The price of gold futures in New York suddenly jumped above the regular “spot” price (the global cash price). That price jump is a premium, meaning buyers are willing to pay more just to get access to gold in the right format and in the right place (New York).

Maybe you need to exercise some self control. James tells us what he does, but that doesn't mean you blindly do everything he does and then place the blame on him when you fail.

Here's a SCAM alert from Trezor...The most common pattern? ­ Phishing emails are often sent from legitimate email platforms. They use trusted-sounding domains from compromised or misused accounts. They look real. But they’re not. Whatever you do, please remember this: ­ The only time you’ll enter your wallet backup (aka recovery seed) is: Directly on your Trezor device when you’re restoring a wallet ­ This means that you should never manually type your wallet backup into your computer or phone, and it’s never needed for security updates. This will only happen if your Trezor is lost, damaged, you’re checking your backup, or you’re setting up a new one. These situations are extremely rare. Most people haven’t used their wallet backup after the day they set up their hardware wallet, and that’s quite normal. Recovering a wallet is uncommon, so if anyone is prompting you to do it, it should immediately raise suspicion. *For the original Trezor Model One, you do type the wallet backup manually, but it’s only when you recover your wallet, when your device is connected to Trezor Suite. The device will prompt you for which word should be entered and which position.* ­ ⚠️ If anyone, via email, phone, DM, or website/app, asks for your wallet backup (your 12, 20, or 24-words), it’s a scam. ­ Scammers often try to make it look harmless, asking for a “recovery key”, “backup code”, or “passphrase”. They may even disguise it as a “bug fix”, “log in”, or “security check”. It’s still your wallet backup. And it should never be shared. Ever. This also applies to anyone asking for passwords, 2FA codes, or any personal information. All are clear red flags of a scam. ­ Feeling rushed or pressured? Step back. ­ Scammers rely on fear, panic, and urgency to cloud your judgment. If you receive a message about your crypto that makes your stomach drop or demands fast action: If it’s a call, hang up. If it’s a DM, ignore it. If it’s an email, close the tab. Even experienced users have fallen for these scams, and most victims immediately realized something was wrong after sharing the keys to their crypto. Take a breath. Think it through. Verify the information on your terms. If your wallet backup is safe, secure, and offline, have confidence knowing your crypto is in your control. ­ One of the fastest ways to spot a phishing scam: Verify senders and links ­ Our official emails are sent from noreply@trezor.io, and our authentic site domain is @trezor.io. Scammers often use similar-sounding domain names, but it's easier to filter if you verify the address. Even so, always stay vigilant. ­ ⚠️ @trezor.io will never ask you for your wallet backup. ­ Never share your sensitive crypto information with anyone, no matter how legitimate they seem, even if the domain looks official. You will only ever download Trezor Suite from the official site, and that happens very rarely: usually once when setting up your Trezor and maybe a second time if you get a new computer. Here’s what we’re doing to fight these scams: Working with our anti-phishing service provider Phishfort to remove phishing sites, averaging 48.79 hours per takedown over the past 6 months Reporting scam domains used in attacks Submitting legal escalations to retailers with fake product listings Reporting phishing ads to our account team for takedown Updating Trezor Suite and trezor.io with phishing alerts We take this very seriously and will continue fighting against these scams. Thank you for securing your crypto with Trezor. Take control, Trezor Team ­ P.S. We also want to reassure you that there has been no recent breach of the email database. The phishing attempts we’ve seen are widespread across the crypto industry. ­ ­ Trezor Kundratka 2359/17a, 18000, Prague 8 trezor.io

If I buy a new laptop/PC, download Trezor suite, do I need to input the 24 words or will it already work fine?

Looks like ATM in today and it’s not 2.5% NAV

The Phantom

I'd like to know as well, looks like a good earnings report yet the stock dumped. Where's the $20 CLSK that was continually talked about last year. I'm down almost 50% in it luckily it's only like .3% of my holdings
