What Trump’s Tariff Pause Means for Gold Prices — And Why Singaporeans Are Rushing to Buy Gold Jewellery

Global Politics, Global Panic: Trump’s Surprise Tariff Pause

In a stunning policy reversal, former U.S. President Donald Trump has paused all reciprocal tariffs for 90 days — except for China. The tariffs on Chinese imports have now surged to a historic 125%, as confirmed by CNN’s April report.

This decision stunned world markets and had immediate economic impacts. While the Dow and Nasdaq rallied, another asset began to shine: gold.

📈 Global demand for gold soared overnight, with many consumers turning to gold jewellery as a safe haven — and in Singapore, that demand spike is now hitting home.


💍 Singapore Reacts: Spike in Gold Jewellery Sales

At Top Gold Shop, we’ve witnessed a notable shift in consumer behavior. Singaporeans — always savvy about wealth preservation — are turning to gold rings, gold earrings, and timeless gold ornaments not only for festive style but also as smart financial decisions.

“Customers aren’t just buying gold to wear anymore — they’re buying to protect their money,” shares our retail manager at Top Gold Shop in Chinatown.
