Scottsdale Mint Launches Four New .9999 Fine Gold Cast Bars Amid Historic Market Moves

In response to the growing demand for safe-haven assets in an increasingly volatile market, Scottsdale Mint has introduced four new .9999 fine gold cast bars. These new offerings come in 5 oz, 10 oz, 20 oz, and 1 kilo weights, each meticulously stamped with weight, purity, and the iconic Scottsdale Mint hallmark. Designed for investors seeking flexibility and confidence in their precious metals holdings, these new gold bars present an opportunity to diversify portfolios amid global economic uncertainty.

Josh Phair, CEO of Scottsdale Mint, explains how tariffs are impacting gold.

Gold Prices Surge Amid Historic Market Moves

Gold has experienced an unprecedented surge since early 2024, reaching prices above $3,400 per ounce by mid-2025. This surge has been fueled by several factors, including persistent inflation pressures, geopolitical instability, and a record volume of central bank gold purchases. As global demand for gold continues to outpace supply, many market analysts see this as a temporary consolidation phase rather than the end of the rally. Some experts predict gold prices could exceed $3,500 per ounce before 2025 closes, with further potential for all-time highs in 2026. Read more about gold’s recent performance.

Why Gold Prices Are Surging:

– Inflation Pressures: As inflation remains elevated, many investors view gold as a safe store of value.
– Geopolitical Instability: Ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to push investors toward safe-haven assets like gold.
– Central Bank Purchases: Countries around the world are increasing their gold reserves. Central banks remain major buyers of gold, further supporting price growth.

Tariff Concerns Push Gold Futures to an All-Time High

In addition to traditional market drivers, recent tariff concerns have sent gold futures soaring to new heights, with prices reaching an all-time high of $3,534 per ounce. This price spike follows reports of a planned executive order from the U.S. White House that could impose tariffs on gold imports, particularly targeting gold bars such as 1-kilogram  and 100-ounce bars. If this tariff is implemented, it could disrupt global bullion trade, especially with countries like Switzerland — a major gold refining hub — already facing steep U.S. import duties

The impact of these proposed tariffs on the gold market highlights the sensitivity of gold prices to policy changes. For U.S. buyers, this could lead to tighter supply and higher premiums on certain gold bar sizes, particularly larger cast bars. As traders await confirmation of the tariff, the reaction in the market reflects how gold prices are influenced by international trade policies.

How Tariffs Affect Gold Markets:

– Supply Chain Disruptions: New tariffs could restrict the flow of gold into the U.S., affecting availability and raising premiums.
– Price Volatility: Gold prices are highly sensitive to changes in global trade policies, and tariffs can exacerbate price fluctuations.

Gold’s Role as a Portfolio Anchor 

Despite short-term volatility, physical gold remains a cornerstone for many investment portfolios. It serves as a proven hedge against inflation, currency devaluation, and broader economic uncertainty. Unlike traditional financial assets such as stocks or bonds, gold moves independently, offering a form of diversification that can help protect wealth during periods of market turmoil.

The Benefits of Owning Physical Gold

– Inflation Hedge: Gold’s long-term value has remained relatively stable, making it an effective tool for protecting wealth from inflation.
– Diversification: Adding gold to a portfolio helps reduce the overall risk, especially when traditional assets such as stocks and bonds face volatility.
– Tangible Asset: Physical gold is a solid, universally accepted store of value that is not subject to the risks of digital assets.

The introduction of Scottsdale Mint’s new .9999 fine gold cast bars provides investors with even more flexibility. Whether you are looking to incrementally build your gold holdings with a 5 oz bar or make a more substantial investment with a 1 kilo bar, these new products offer access to high-quality, globally recognized bullion that is backed by the trusted Scottsdale Mint brand.
