The long-term battles against fentanyl, the border invasion, and unfair trade practices made tariffs inevitable, just as President Donald Trump promised. Now that they’re here, markets are seeing a bloodbath as investors and retirees shift their portfolios to higher ground.
“We saw it coming and we’ve been preparing our clients since before the election,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group. “Whether it’s physical precious metals or cryptocurrencies, now is the time for Americans to consider riding out the storm by rolling over or transferring their retirement accounts.”
Monday’s early carnage in the stock market prompted a flurry of investors eager to move their money to safe havens like gold and silver after Friday’s record-breaking peak. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies were fluctuating based on the uncertainty and strengthened U.S. Dollar, but the long-term plan for the Trump administration is to weaken the Dollar, potentially bumping up both precious metals and cryptocurrencies.
“The stronger U.S. dollar was temporarily weighing on the yellow metal, but the case to hold gold as a safe haven still makes sense to me in a world going potentially into a tariffs war,” said UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo.
J.P. Morgan noted that bearish contagion from equities could weigh on gold in the near term, but disruptive tariffs continue to fuel a medium-term bull case for bullion.
But Rose warns that Americans should not be making long-term investment decisions based on short-term fears.
“Everyone’s a little spooked right now but we always look at retirement accounts through a long-term lens,” he said. “It would behoove me to scream like Chicken Little, and I’m sure other precious metals companies will do just that, but we believe in President Trump’s plan and we advise our clients to do the same.”
Americans who want to take advantage of tariffs have two options. They can work with Genesis to move retirement accounts into a Genesis Gold IRA. This is a very pragmatic approach. Those who want to move some of their portfolio’s into a retirement account backed by cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum can learn about a BlockTrust IRA.
“Tariffs are here, just as we expected,” Rose said. “Now is not the time to panic. It’s the time to be smart about your retirement and we can help with that.”
Whether through physical precious metals or through cryptocurrencies, more Americans are seeking to diversify their retirement portfolios away from the stock market. Now would be the time to do so.
