Now is the time to buy gold – don’t miss out

Sound the alarms – today is the day to take action and add gold to your portfolio. A very attractive window to buy has opened on the back of new U.S. employment data and created a prime opportunity for investors to increase their gold holdings.

Today’s desirable gold prices come as a result of a surprisingly strong jobs update. The June report, released yesterday (Thursday) by the payroll processor ADP, showed that private companies created 497,000 jobs in June – that’s a significant increase on the 267,000 jobs created in May. Analysts had expected the figure to be less than half of that, with Dow Jones projections calling for 222,000 new jobs to be added.

The largest rise in new roles for more than 12 months, the jobs were mainly created by the leisure and hospitality, construction, trade, transportation, and utilities sectors. Many of the jobs were created by smaller firms with less than 50 employees. Some industries, including financial services and the manufacturing sector, shed jobs the data confirms.

ADP’s chief economist, Nela Richardson says the leap is surprising but cautioned that this figure may well represent the peak and wage growth isn’t growing in symmetry – meaning future reports could reflect a much tighter employment market. “Consumer-facing service industries had a strong June, aligning to push job creation higher than expected,” she said. “But wage growth continues to ebb in these same industries, and hiring likely is cresting after a late-cycle surge.”

The increase in new roles created has caught many by surprise, giving the Federal Reserve’s efforts to cool the economy over the last 12 months. As a result of the resilient employment data, the U.S. dollar received a substantial boost along with the U.S. Treasury Yields. This has put pressure on gold prices, with the yellow metal losing some ground during Thursday trading.

Given gold’s unassailable upward trajectory, the age-old advice to buy the dip is more relevant than ever today. Despite prices dipping, they remain above the key £1,491 ($1,900) level. The upshot is today’s prices are incredibly attractive for those looking to get in before we see a new all-time high set.

Don’t wait for the next rollercoaster rise to hit. Buy gold now.

Information Request
Your privacy is guaranteed.
All data is handled under current GDPR rules.
Risk Warning
All persons who register as an ‘investor’ on this Website should read carefully the following warnings before making any investment.
All investment products carry risks. The relevant webpages and documents will cover risks specific to an individual offer. Please bear in mind the following general risks involved when investing through this Website:
Your personal decision to invest
A decision to invest in a company is a personal decision by you and no responsibility for the consequences of that decision is accepted by either U.K. Income and Growth or by any of its partners, directors, agents, employees or other members. To invest through this Website you need to understand the following important risks:
You are not covered by the financial services compensation scheme
Investments, whether in new or existing businesses, carry high risks as well as the possibility of high rewards. Accordingly, each investor should consider very carefully whether such investments are suitable in the light of their own personal circumstances, commitments and available financial resources. Engaging in any investment activity may expose you to a significant risk of losing all of your investment. This is a high risk investment and much riskier than a savings account. If a company fails, it is likely that you may lose all, or part, of your initial investment and receive no outstanding or future interest payments. In such circumstances neither the company nor U.K. Income and Growth will pay you back your investment.
Most of the companies in which U.K. Income and Growth invest are new companies with limited if any track record. These companies will provide information such as their business plan and financial forecasts. Please be warned that these documents are not guarantees that the relevant company can achieve what it is hoping to do. Equally the information provided may state certain facts and statements, and again please be warned that U.K. Income and Growth are not responsible for checking the accuracy of these facts and statements, which may not always prove to be true or complete.
Liquidity
As an investor you should be aware that no established market exists for the trading of the bonds and equity in private companies, and such bonds and equity are not easily realisable. It must be appreciated that there could be difficulty in selling such investments at a reasonable price and, in some circumstances, it may be difficult to sell them at any price.
Diversify your investments
Diversification by spreading your money across different types of investments should reduce your overall risk of financial loss. We highly recommend investors do this to maintain a balanced portfolio. Investors should also consider avoiding putting their money in the same investment as immediate family members. Investors should only invest a proportion of their available investment funds due to the high risks involved.
Tax
Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. U.K. Income and Growth recommends that if you require tax advice, you should seek this from a qualified tax professional and recommend that you take your own tax advice on any investments which you make via this Website.
Recommendation
U.K. Income and Growth doesn’t provide advice or make personal recommendations. If you are in any doubt about the action you should take or the contents of a particular Offer Document, you should seek advice from an independent financial advisor authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (+ 2012 Amendments).
Past performance
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. You should not rely on any past performance as a guarantee of future investment performance.
Where security is in place or assets held in support of the investment, there is a risk that if the underlying borrower defaults, or if there is a delay in realising the asset, then the asset may not be sold for enough to cover the loan or may result in delayed repayment of investors’ money. Additionally, where the security is not a first charge, in the event of a sale of the asset funds will be available to be paid to investors only after payment to the chargeholders who rank ahead of investors.
Disclaimer
Investing in equity opportunities such as those promoted by U.K. Income and Growth, involves risks including loss of capital. Investments made through U.K. Income and Growth are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
