Physical gold in your 401k - what Wall Street already knows
On March 30th, the Department of Labor quietly filed a rule allowing physical gold to be held inside an eligible 401(k) - a first in the history of the modern retirement system. With $9 trillion in 401(k) savings now potentially eligible, even a small shift in allocation could create a demand wave the gold market has never seen. JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs are already pricing it in, with gold targets ranging from $5,400 to $6,000 per ounce by end of 2026. There is already an IRS-approved process to move part of an existing 401(k), IRA, or TSP into physical gold - tax-deferred and penalty-free when done correctly.tc pixel
