Debt GOLD Debt GOLD Debt GOLD PRINTING MONEY The U.S. national debt represents the total amount of money the federal government owes to creditors. As of early 2025, this debt has surpassed $37 trillion1. The government borrows money to cover budget deficits by issuing various securities like Treasury bonds. When the government prints more money to manage its debt, it can lead to inflation. This devalues the currency, making each dollar worth less. As a result, investors often turn to gold as a safe-haven asset. Gold tends to retain its value better during times of economic uncertainty and currency devaluation2. Consequently, when the U.S. prints more money, the demand for gold typically increases, driving up its price2.
