Tariffs on Swiss Gold Bars Spark COMEX Supply Shift


Gold futures surged after tariffs were imposed on Swiss 1kg and 100oz gold bars—formats central to COMEX delivery. The move could cement the U.S. as a gold trade hub and raise compliance costs for non-U.S. banks under Basel III rules.

Key Levels: Support at $3,334.9 | Resistance at $3,426.5 / $3,460.6

Investor Takeaway: Structural shifts in gold trade could boost U.S.-refined gold demand, supporting prices over the medium term.
