• Current Gold Status: Consolidating in a Pullback
• Kiyosaki's Gold Thesis
• Market Synchronization Signals

Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki posted on X platform on June 29th reiterating his bullish stance on gold, stating that he still believes gold will reach $35k (approximately NT$170k per ounce) within 5 years.

Kiyosaki pointed out that "profits are made when you buy, not when you sell." He reminded investors that all markets fluctuate, and the most successful investors are those who position for the future.

Current Gold Status: Consolidating in a Pullback

As of intraday trading on June 29th, spot gold briefly pulled back about 1%, trading near $4,040 per ounce, still about 76% upside from Kiyosaki's target price.

The world's largest gold ETF—SPDR Gold Trust—reduced its holdings by 2.00 tons in the previous trading day, with holdings falling to 1,005.08 tons, indicating that some institutional funds are taking profits during the pullback.

Kiyosaki's Gold Thesis

The 66-year-old Kiyosaki has long been bullish on gold and Bitcoin. The core of his investment logic is:

• Buying Determines Profits—Entry timing and price determine final returns; selling is just an execution action
• Volatility is Normal—All markets fluctuate; short-term volatility should not affect long-term positioning
• Invest for the Future—The richest people are not short-term traders, but those who position in advance

Kiyosaki has repeatedly called for gold in the past. In 2025, he said that the US bank bailout represents a "full-scale invasion of fake money," urging investors to quickly buy Bitcoin, gold, and silver. In May this year, he further pointed out that the "fragile petrodollar" bomb planted in 1974 had exploded, and Bitcoin and gold are the real money.

Market Synchronization Signals

Multiple parallel signals appeared in the gold market today:

• Capital Economics analyst Kieran Tompkins pointed out that gold is behaving increasingly like a risk asset rather than a safe haven, and as speculative enthusiasm cools, gold prices will face further pressure
• The US dollar strengthened, hitting its highest level since last November, weighing on precious metal prices
• Multiple central banks simultaneously raised margin requirements at the Shanghai Gold Exchange, while China Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank directly suspended personal precious metal deferred business

Despite the short-term bearishness, Kiyosaki's bullish logic is still based on the long-term narrative of a persistently weakening US dollar and rising global uncertainty. If the $35k target is achieved, it would mean gold needs to rise more than 76% from current prices, equivalent to an annual compound growth rate of about 12%.
