Top U.S. economist says Gold reversal is imminent

Considering its traditional position as a ‘safe haven’ asset and hedge against various risks, Gold performed somewhat surprisingly during March as the commodity declined more than 13% as the Iran war started and expanded.

Despite the downturn and the last, April 1 and 2 drop driven by President Donald Trump’s latest televised address, top U.S. economist Peter Schiff opined in a late Wednesday X post that the yellow metal is about to reverse.

Specifically, the expert stated that gold ‘will break this trend and rally in tandem with oil’ in reference to both the commodity’s decline and the fossil fuel upsurge.

Notably, West Texas and Brent crude, as well as energy companies, have been major winners of the ongoing conflict in terms of barrel and stock prices. WTI, for example, is up roughly 41% in the 30-day chart while Brent rose approximately 38%. 

Similarly, the overall S&P 500 stock market index is down 4.45% in the same timeframe, while the section tracking energy equities is up 4%.

Gold next rally could last through 2026 if Schiff is proven correct

Should Peter Schiff’s prediction prove correct, gold might soon enter a rally that could see it fly higher for a protracted period. While news coming from the Trump Administration has been contradictory at best – by  April 1, the President’s rhetoric appeared deescalatory leading to a significant rally for non-energy sectors – the latest address indicates warfare will only intensify.

Given that the Pentagon’s actions by press time on April 2 signal an inability to open the Strait of Hormuz and the commander-in-chief’s statements hint at an unwillingness to tackle the disruption in the critical waterway, it is possible that the supply chain issues will persist through 2026.

Additionally, considering that Iran has been repeatedly claiming that it is not looking for a ceasefire and that any peace agreement would have to include Lebanon, and that Israel is allegedly looking to exclude its northern neighbour from negotiations, there appears to be no off-ramp for the time being.

Circling back to Peter Schiff, his X post predicting a gold rally also appears to forecast a protracted war and continued decline across most sectors and assets. 

Per the economist’s comments, the conflict is in a re-escalation phase despite the allegation that the U.S. ‘already achieved the most glorious and brilliant victory in the history of war’ – a jab at the numerous victory declarations published by President Trump since early March.

Why Gold might not reverse the recent downtrend

Elsewhere, it is noteworthy that Schiff’s prediction regarding gold breaking the downtrend is far from guaranteed to come true. The economist is a known ‘gold bug’ and has been bullish on the commodity under most circumstances.

While he has, so far, proven correct barring the latest downturn, and the yellow metal has been a top-performing asset through much of the XXI century and especially in the last five years, precisely this rally might have damaged its ‘safe haven’ status and turned it more risk-sensitive.

Another theory as to why gold is unlikely to reverse was shared by a different Wall Street expert: the prominent Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) bear, Gordon Johnson of GLJ Research.

According to the analyst, the yellow metal’s choppy performance is due to the widespread decline triggered by the Iran war. Late on April 1, Johnson published a simple X post describing the relationship:

Should the GLJ Research analyst prove correct, gold will not manage a trend reversal until either the ongoing correction turns significantly more severe, or there is a widespread market recovery halting the margin calls.

REX-Osprey DOJE ETF Launch Drives Dogecoin Surge to $0.28

REX-Osprey DOJE ETF Launch Drives Dogecoin Surge to $0.28

The post REX-Osprey DOJE ETF Launch Drives Dogecoin Surge to $0.28 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. DOJE ETF Offers Direct Spot Exposure to Dogecoin In a press release, REX-Osprey announced the launch of the first-ever publicly traded ETF to provide exposure to Dogecoin (DOGE). The latest fund is the REX-OspreyDOGE ETF (CBOE: DOJE), an innovation in the cryptocurrency market. It is a unique exchange-traded fund (ETF) that offers direct spot exposure to Dogecoin, which has gained legendary popularity due to its Shiba Inu mascot and fan base of Shiba Inu followers. The introduction of the DOJE ETF is revolutionary for several reasons. It is the first ETF in the United States that provides investors direct access to the spot price of Dogecoin, a widely known cryptocurrency, which lacks inherent utility. This provides a controlled and smooth method for people to invest into DOGE through a regular brokerage account. Using this new product, REX-Osprey remains on the edge of digital asset integration into the regulated financial frameworks. Greg King, CEO of REX Financial and Osprey Funds, expressed his pride in this achievement: “Investors look to ETFs as trading and access vehicles. The digital asset revolution is already underway, and to be able to offer exposure to some of the most popular digital assets within the protections of the U.S. ’40 Act ETF regime is something REX-Osprey™ is proud of and has worked diligently to achieve.” SSK’s Success Sets the Stage for DOGE ETF Launch The DOJE ETF follows the successful launch of REX-Osprey’s SOL + Staking ETF (SSK) in July 2025. This fund became the first-ever U.S.-listed ETF to offer spot Solana exposure alongside on-chain staking rewards. Since its launch, SSK has been a significant success, accumulating over $275 million in assets under management. REX-Osprey has now expanded its crypto offerings with the addition of both DOGE and XRP ETFs, offering investors more opportunities to diversify their…
