We saw the price of gold climb steadily in early 2025, rising from around $2,600 at the beginning of the year to above $3,400 per ounce in April. But the precious metal has since pulled back to around $3,300 per ounce — pressured by shifting inflation expectations and reduced demand for safe-haven assets.
These fluctuations are a wake-up call for investors. With monetary policy uncertainty and geopolitical tensions creating ongoing volatility, the traditional playbook for gold investing may need updating. Below, investing professionals share tips to help you maximize your gold investment this month — whether you're holding physical gold, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mining stocks or other gold assets.
Invest in gold here before the price rises again.
How to maximize your gold investment this June, according to experts
Henry Yoshida, CEO and co-founder of Rocket Dollar, a fintech platform helping investors tap alternative assets as a vehicle for retirement, sees the $3,300 to $3,400 price range as critical when evaluating gold's next move. "[This] represents a solid holding area where gold can develop a base for continued upward movement," he says. A dip to $3,300 that then holds steady could signal a buying opportunity for long-term holders. In contrast, a break above $3,400 might call for waiting until the next pullback.
With this in mind, experts recommend the following strategies to make the most of your gold investment this June:
Monitor the Federal Reserve's June 18 meeting
"I'm watching the June Fed meeting very closely," says Brandon Aversano, CEO of The Alloy Market. "If rates are cut sooner than expected, we could see a jump in gold prices. I would also look at the mid-June Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) releases. Any increase in inflation would likely trigger an uptick in gold prices."
What the Fed says can be as important as what they actually do with rates. "Pay close attention to Federal Reserve communications regarding the pace of interest rate cuts," Yoshida emphasizes. "If the Fed signals they may lower rates more slowly than Wall Street currently expects, this typically serves as a bullish indicator for continued gold price appreciation."

Think long-term (and invest accordingly)
Gold's recent volatility might tempt you to chase short-term gains. But experts warn against this approach. "Although gold has had some incredible rallies in the past, it's not generally profitable for the average person to invest in gold in short timeframes like one month," cautions Brett Elliott, director of marketing at American Precious Metals Exchange (APMEX).
The key is managing expectations while staying focused on gold's role in your portfolio. While many analysts expect gold to reach $3,700 this year, the timing and catalysts for such moves remain uncertain. This reinforces why patient, long-term holders usually do better than those trying to time the market's ups and downs.
Buy gold jewelry
"Right now, peer-to-peer sellers are highly motivated to move their gold jewelry for liquidity," highlights Aversano. "You can often find gold pieces that are worth slightly less than their melt value on eBay or other platforms. If you can find these pieces, [they're] great to [buy] and hold onto for future liquidation when gold has appreciated."
Aversano suggests checking estate sales, jewelry stores, antique stores and online peer-to-peer networks. This strategy requires more effort than buying traditional gold products. However, it can offer better value if you understand gold content and current market prices.
Consider dollar cost averaging and rebalancing
Some gold holders may benefit from a dollar cost averaging approach this month. "Instead of making one large purchase, spread smaller purchases over time," advises Monetary Metals's head of content, Ben Nadelstein. "This can reduce exposure to short-term price swings while maintaining a consistent long gold strategy."
Since gold serves as a long-term portfolio asset, Nadelstein notes that temporary price pullbacks often don't require immediate attention. "If gold is still serving its intended purpose [in your portfolio], minor fluctuations are usually not a concern," he explains. "[But] if [you] feel overweight or underweight, [you] might choose to reduce or add exposure gradually rather than reacting to short-term movements."
The bottom line
This June presents unique challenges and opportunities for gold investing, with Fed actions and market volatility creating risks and rewards. The tips outlined above can help you make informed decisions. But before adjusting your June investment strategies, it may help to discuss your options with a financial advisor well-versed in precious metals investing. They can help you decide which approaches align with your financial goals.

Scholar Rock (SRRK) Jumps 16.6% After Successful Weight Loss Drug Trial
We recently published a list of These 10 Stocks Boast Double-Digit Gains Amid Boring Market. Scholar Rock Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:SRRK) is one of the best-performing stocks on Thursday. Scholar Rock jumped by 16.6 percent on Wednesday to close at $36.32 apiece as investor sentiment was bolstered by the positive results from the second phase of its weight loss drug trial. In a statement, Scholar Rock Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:SRRK) said the trial, which aims to assess its drug candidate apitegromab's combination with tirzepatide, was generally well tolerated, leading to higher quality weight loss as compared with taking tirzepatide alone. According to Scholar Rock Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:SRRK), apitegromab therapy in combination with tirzepatide resulted in the preservation of 4.2 pounds of lean mass compared with tirzepatide alone. 'While this is an exciting development for our platform, we remain focused on preparing for the launch of apitegromab, and following its potential approval in SMA, we look forward to studying it in a range of neuromuscular diseases with high unmet need,' said Scholar Rock Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:SRRK) President and CEO Akshay Vaishnaw, adding that he was looking forward to exploring its potential in various rare, severe debilitating neuromuscular disorders.

HackerNoon Publishes: Business Pros Underestimate AI Risks Compared to Tech Teams, Social Links Study Shows
New York, United States, June 20, 2025 -- HackerNoon, the independent tech publishing platform, published thefollowing release today. Text below: A new study from Social Links, a leader in open-source intelligence solutions, reveals a gap between business and technical professionals when it comes to recognizing the risks posed by AI-powered cyberattacks. Despite the rapid rise in threat sophistication, business respondents appear significantly less concerned thаn their tech colleagues. This fact highlights a potential blind spot in organizational preparedness. The survey gathered insights from 237 professionals (from CEO and Technical C-level to Cybersecurity Specialists and Product Managers) across various industries, including Financial Services, Technology, Manufacturing, Retail, Healthcare, Logistics, Government, etc. The results showed that just 27.8% of business people (professionals in non-technical, business-oriented roles) identified usage of AI to generate fake messages as one of the most relevant cyber threats. In contrast, 53.3% of technical professionals flagged it as a top concern—nearly double the level of alarm. A similar pattern emerged around deepfake technology: 46.7% of technical staff expressed concern, compared to just 27.8% of business respondents. This gap underscores a critical vulnerability in organizational security: business professionals, who often make prime targets for sophisticated AI-driven social engineering and deepfake schemes, show notably lower levels of concern or awareness about these threats. At the same time, the most vulnerable departments for cyber threats identified by respondents were Finance and Accounting (24.1%), IT and Development (21.5%), HR and Recruitment (15.2%), and Sales and Account Manаgement (13.9%). 'This is no longer a question of 'if'—AI-powered threats are already here and evolving quickly,' says Ivan Shkvarun, CEO of Social Links. 'We're seeing a clear gap between those building defenses and those most likely to be targeted. Bridging that gap requires not just better technical tools, but broader awareness and education across all levels of an organization.' Key Insights from the Research: Traditional vs. AI-Driven Threats: While phishing and email fraud remain the most cited threats (69.6%), followed by malware/ransomware (49.4%), AI-driven attacks are gaining ground. 39.2% of respondents identified the use of AI to craft fake messages and campaigns as a major concern, and 32.9% pointed to deepfakes and synthetic identities—confirming that generative technologies are now a recognized part of the corporate threat landscape. 'Traditional threats like phishing and malware still dominate the charts. But what we're seeing now is that AI isn't replacing these risks, it's supercharging them, turning generic scams into tailored operations—fast, cheap, and more convincing. That's the real shift: automation and personalization at scale,' explains Ivan. Employee Footprint Risk: 60.8% of respondents report that employees use corporate accounts for personal purposes—such as posting on forums, engaging on social media, or updating public profiles. 59.5% also link publicly available employee data (e.g., LinkedIn bios, activities in forums and blogs) to real cyber incidents, identifying it as a recurring entry point for attacks. Unregulated AI Adoption: Over 82% of companies let employees use AI tools at work, yet only 36.7% have a formal policy that controls how those tools are used. This gap fuels 'Shadow AI'—the unsanctioned adoption of chatbots, code assistants, or other AI services without IT oversight, which can leak sensitive data and create hidden security and compliance risks. 'You can't really stop people from using work accounts or data when they're active online. The same goes for AI tools: people will use them to save time or get help with tasks, whether there's a policy or not. But all this activity leaves digital traces. And those traces can make it easier for scammers to find and target employees. What actually helps is teaching people how to spot the risks and giving them the right tools to stay safe, instead of just saying 'don't do it,'' explains Ivan. The research emphasizes that effective cybersecurity in the AI era requires a holistic approach that extends beyond technical controls to include comprehensive human-centric security programs. Employee training on safe AI use was overwhelmingly perceived by survey respondents as the most effective mitigation measure for 'Shadow AI' (72.2%), followed by the development of internal policies (46.8%). Social Links is committed to addressing these evolving challenges and has recently launched the Darkside AI initiative, aimed at further exploring and mitigating the risks posed by advanced AI-driven threats.
