In 1971, Nixon ended the gold standard in a single 15-minute broadcast — no warning, no debate. Gold tripled in 3 years and rose 20x over the next decade. The people who saw it coming protected their wealth. Everyone else watched their savings quietly erode. History may be about to repeat itself. Trump holds the same executive authority Nixon used — and his own advisors are now openly saying a reversal is on the table.
Reagan Gold Group has put together a free briefing covering exactly what Nixon did, why Trump is the first president positioned to undo it, and the one move you can make right now to be on the right side of what comes next. Free. 30 seconds to request. Don't wait for the Sunday night broadcast.

Alaska’s Senate race locks in: Sullivan and Peltola move on, with one odd wrinkle
NBC News projects Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola will advance to Alaska’s general-election Senate contest, setting up one of the cycle’s highest-stakes, most evenly matched races. Sullivan enters with incumbency and a traditional GOP lane; Peltola brings cross-party brand strength and proven statewide appeal.
The lingering complication: it’s not yet clear whether Sullivan will also face another candidate with the same name, a scenario that can muddy ballots and messaging in a state where margins can be thin. With Alaska’s electorate famously independent, both parties are treating this as a top-tier battleground with national control implications.

Pennsylvania tightens the screws on AI data centers
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an order creating new requirements for companies looking to build AI-oriented data centers in the state. The directive aims to standardize expectations around siting, infrastructure coordination, and compliance as demand for power-hungry computing campuses accelerates.
The backdrop is straightforward: states want the jobs and tax base, but they also don’t want grid stress, water fights, or local backlash landing on their desk after the ribbon-cutting. Expect the order to serve as both a welcome mat and a rulebook, signaling that Pennsylvania wants the investment, but on terms it can defend.

Oil-and-gas bonding is back in the crosshairs
A proposed Trump administration rule would roll back federal oil-and-gas bonding reforms meant to ensure drillers pay to plug wells and restore land when operations end. Critics argue the rollback would shift cleanup risk back onto taxpayers by lowering the financial assurance companies must post.
At stake is a familiar problem: when operators go bankrupt or walk away, governments can inherit orphaned wells and environmental liabilities that are expensive to fix and politically hard to fund. The policy fight now is whether looser bonding is a pro-production deregulatory win, or simply a deferred bill that comes due later.

Markets idle: rates and oil are doing the talking
U.S. futures were mostly flat, stabilizing off earlier lows as traders focused on the next signals from interest-rate markets and crude prices. Tech sentiment got a lift from a major share buyback announcement overseas, helping offset broader macro caution.
This is the current regime: equities don’t need perfect news, but they do need clarity on the cost of money and the direction of energy. Until rate expectations and oil stop whipsawing, expect choppy, headline-driven sessions with leadership rotating fast.

China tells firms: don’t help Brussels on JD.com
Beijing has barred Chinese entities from assisting a European Union investigation into e-commerce company JD.com under the EU’s foreign subsidies regulation. The move sharpens a regulatory confrontation that has widened from tariffs and export controls into the mechanics of investigations themselves.
For the EU, the case is part of a broader effort to police alleged state-backed competitive advantages in its market; for China, it’s another example of Brussels importing industrial policy into enforcement. The practical impact is simple: evidence-gathering gets harder, timelines stretch, and the odds of retaliatory measures rise.
