Craig Hemke – Tariffs, Dollar Breakdown, and Commodities Momentum: Does Gold Need To Make Another Leg Higher?
Craig Hemke, founder and editor of TF Metals Report, joins us for a timely discussion ahead of the July 9th tariff deadline. We open with expectations around the expiration of the 90-day tariff pause and examine whether a renewed trade war could trigger short-term volatility, or present another “buy the dip” opportunity for metals.
Gold and silver may have more room to run, but will a falling dollar and global demand keep fueling this bull market?
Topics covered include:
- The fading impact of geopolitical risks on gold
- Institutional momentum and quarterly breakout trends in gold and silver
- Why silver’s recent breakout above $35 could be the start of a bigger move
- The role of the falling U.S. dollar and surging M2 money supply
- What sideways gold prices mean for miners, M&A, and re-rated project economics
- Differentiating between long-term secular trends and short-term policy noise
- Could we be entering a broader reflationary environment, with capital finally flowing into commodity equities?

Go copper!
Yeah, that was wild news on the proposed Trump tariffs on copper of 50%.
Copper jumped up to an all-time high of $5.83 at the end of the trading session and closed at an all-time high close of $5.45. Wild!
I bought some COPX at the end of the trading session in case this move gets sustained in the red metal, and already have a nice handful of quality copper developers and small producers in the portfolio.
Trump Says He Will Impose A 50% Tariff On Copper Imports
CNBC – Tue, Jul 8 2025
President Donald Trump said he will impose a 50% tariff on copper imports and suggested more steep sector-specific duties are on the way.
“Today, we’re doing copper,” Trump said during a Cabinet meeting. “I believe the tariff on copper, we’re going to make it 50%.”

That also keeps the pattern of higher highs going for Copper, with this 3rd time being (3 times a charm) and looking like people are going to have to get used to $5 handle on the red metal.
Look at that daily candle – Gadzooks!
