월요일(21일) 금 가격이 사상 최고치로 급등했다. 금은 월요일 오전 11시 20분(동부표준시 기준) 온스당 2.5% 상승한 3,410달러로 상승했다. 이는 미국 금융자산에 대한 불신과 인플레이션 우려로 인해 2010년대 초 글로벌 부채 위기 이후 볼 수 없었던 안전자산으로의 도피가 이어지는 것을 의미한다.

A 36-year-old Reddit user resonated deeply with fellow millennials after <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Millennials/comments/1l9yxqc/im_36_live_paycheck_to_paycheck_have_no_savings/">posting</a> openly about their financial situation. They say they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/05/45710917/whats-driving-americans-to-live-paycheck-to-paycheck-one-person-says-its-like-being-thrown-into-adulthood-without-a-map">live paycheck to paycheck</a>, have over $100,000 in debt, no savings and, perhaps most surprisingly, don't feel panicked about it. &#8220;I should be freaking out, but I just don't have the energy anymore,&#8221; they wrote.

They explained that the bulk of their debt came from a private university degree in archaeology and classics that cost $200,000. Although they&#8217;ve managed to pay a significant portion down, they still owe about $40,000. Add to that a $30,000 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45523239/graham-stephan-explains-why-auto-loans-are-the-biggest-scam-in-america-its-scary">auto loan</a> and a personal loan taken out to help cover bills when student loan payments were $1,000 a month pre-COVID. &#8220;I couldn't afford to pay them and my other bills.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Widespread Sentiment</h2>
In the replies, many reflected those feelings of burnout, resignation and financial paralysis. One commenter put it plainly: &#8220;I'm 39, just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44408726/got-laid-off-so-i-went-all-in-on-living-frugally-redditor-shares-how-they-saved-big-and-why-these-tips-may-be-more-important-than-ever">got laid off</a> from my job of 13 years and I'm about to lose my apartment due to rent increase.

Multiple people shared stories of six-figure debts, stagnant wages, medical emergencies, and housing instability. A recurring theme was the feeling that no matter how hard they work, they&#8217;re falling behind.
&#8220;It seems like every time we&#8217;ve finally &#8216;leveled up&#8217; in jobs, raises, etc., there&#8217;s been a huge jump in costs along with it,&#8221; wrote one person. &#8220;We can never get our heads above the water.&#8221;
Another person shared that their household income fell from six figures to just $25,000 in two years. With over $100,000 in debt, they said they were forced to put their home up for sale.
Some shared that they've given up on the idea of retirement altogether. &#8220;I&#8217;ve resigned myself to working until I die,&#8221; one said.

Even the poster admitted that while their mindset helps them cope, it&#8217;s probably not the healthiest: &#8220;People do have this exact thinking when it comes to their health. And it's definitely not healthy. And it's probably not healthy for me to think this way either. But I've done my freaking out for years and it's never done any good.&#8221;

A Millennial Living Paycheck To Paycheck With $100K In Debt Says, 'I Should Be Freaking Out, But I Just Don't Have The Energy Anymore'

Elon Musk has drawn criticism for attributing the murder of a Minnesota lawmaker to the &#8220;far left,&#8221; a claim that was even refuted by his own AI chatbot, Grok.
What Happened: Musk faced a backlash on social media after he shared a user&#8217;s claim that the assassination of Democratic State Rep. Melissa Hortman and other recent political attacks were committed by &#8220;the left.&#8221;
Contrary to Musk&#8217;s claim, preliminary evidence indicates that the alleged shooter, Vance Luther Boelter, was targeting individuals frequently characterized as &#8220;far left&#8221; by critics.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

A list of targets was reportedly found in his car, comprising top Minnesota Democrats and abortion providers and advocates.

Musk&#8217;s post was met with widespread derision. Neera Tanden, a former senior aide in the Biden administration, echoed President Donald Trump&#8216;s sentiment that Musk had &#8220;just went CRAZY.&#8221;
Interestingly, Musk&#8217;s AI bot Grok, a product of his company xAI, contradicted his claim, stating, &#8220;The claim that &#8216;the left&#8217;&nbsp;is murderously violent isn&#8217;t backed&nbsp;by evidence. No&nbsp;side is inherently violent; generalizations&nbsp;oversimplify a complex issue.&#8221;
Social media users found amusement in Musk&#8217;s own AI debunking his statement. &#8220;Watching Grok&nbsp;debunk lies in real time&nbsp;is&nbsp;the only thing that keeps&nbsp;me on this app,&#8221; one user remarked.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the influence and responsibility of high-profile figures like Musk in shaping public discourse. 
It also highlights the potential of AI technology, such as Grok, in fact-checking and combating misinformation in real time. 
The irony of Musk&#8217;s own AI refuting his claim has not been lost on observers, adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing debate about the role of AI in moderating online content.

Elon Musk Criticized for Linking Minnesota Assassination to 'Far Left'

Billionaire Mark Cuban has been one of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/05/45532793/mark-cubans-favorite-social-media-platform-bluesky-makes-live-sports-important-part-of-ecosystem">the largest proponents </a>of social media platform Bluesky, which has grown its user base as an alternative to X. Cuban's criticism of Bluesky in recent weeks could be a major headwind for the platform.
What Happened: Similar<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45472538/mark-cuban-bids-farewell-to-shark-tank-how-to-watch-finale-and-whats-next-for-hit-show"> to leaving "Shark Tank"</a> to focus on other aspects of his life, Cuban could be ready to move on from Bluesky to focus on a better social media platform.
Cuban said Bluesky has "grown ruder and more hateful" in a recent post, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/12/business/blueskys-lack-of-diversity-of-thought-driving-users-back-to-x-mark-cuban/">reported </a>by the New York Post.
"The lack of diversity of thought here is really hurting usage," Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lr4ncvgkg22q">said</a>, while sharing an opinion piece from The Washington Post that said Bluesky's decline comes from "never hearing from the other side."
Cuban said the recent activity on Bluesky likely has users going back to X, formerly known as Twitter.
"There used to be great give and take discussions on politics and news. Not so much any more." Doesn't have to be this way."
The billionaire <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lr4pocpxck2q">said </a>that Bluesky has advanced moderation tools and people can block others rather than attacking them. Cuban said that his posts are now met with anger and criticism rather than discussion.
"Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist."
Adding insult to injury, several Bluesky users didn't like Cuban's criticism of the platform and told him to leave.
You may not be a billionaire like Mark Cuban, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/45827517/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-68">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: While Bluesky users may be pushing Cuban from the platform he once supported so strongly, X is ready to welcome Cuban back.
"Welcome home to the true global town square!" X CEO Linda Yaccarino <a href="https://x.com/lindayaX/status/1933168773512458439">said </a>while sharing Cuban's post criticizing Bluesky.
On X, Cuban has nine million followers. He has been posting more on the platform in recent days.
Cuban's last post on Bluesky was three days ago. On Bluesky, Cuban has 1.4 million followers and is the second-most followed person, trailing only Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (2 million).
The decentralized social media, which is an alternative to X, saw strong growth after X owner Elon Musk endorsed Donald Trump for president in the 2024 election. The platform also saw strong growth after Trump won the election in November 2024.
The Bluesky user base tripled from 10 million to more than 30 million between November 2024 and May 2025, the report said, citing Pew Research Center data.
With one of the largest voices on Bluesky critical and saying people aren't allowed to share different opinions without getting attacked, users new and old may be scared away and find themselves back on X.

Mark Cuban Criticizes Bluesky, Gets Welcome Back On X By CEO Yaccarino: 'Welcome Home To The True Global Town Square'

GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) has agreed to pay $4.5 million to its customers following allegations of privacy law violations. The gaming retailer was accused of sharing personal customer information with Facebook without consent.
What Happened: GameStop Corp is gearing up to distribute millions to its customers to settle a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit accused the company of violating&nbsp;the federal Video Privacy Protection&nbsp;Act (VPPA) by allegedly sharing sensitive customer data with Facebook.
The gaming retailer is specifically accused of implementing&nbsp;a Facebook tracking pixel on&nbsp;its website. This pixel allegedly sent customer&#8217;s personal information, including details of video game purchases, to Facebook without their knowledge or consent.
The settlement, which totals $4.5 million, applies to individuals&nbsp;who purchased a game from&nbsp;GameStop&#8217;s online store between August 18th, 2020, and April 17th, 2025. 
To qualify for the settlement, customers must have been Facebook members&nbsp;and maintained a public Facebook&nbsp;profile using their real name at the time of purchase.

While the exact number of affected customers is not yet known, the settlement suggests that hundreds of thousands of customers may be eligible for compensation. Affected&nbsp;customers are set to receive&nbsp;up to $5 cash or&nbsp;a $10 voucher.
Despite agreeing to the settlement, GameStop has not admitted to any wrongdoing. The company has, however, committed to permanently removing&nbsp;the tracking pixel to prevent&nbsp;future unauthorized data sharing.
Why It Matters: This settlement highlights the increasing scrutiny on companies to ensure they adhere to privacy laws and respect customer data. 
As consumers become more aware of their digital rights, companies like GameStop are being held accountable for their data practices. 
This case serves as a reminder for businesses to review their data sharing practices and ensure they are in line with legal requirements.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has unveiled iOS 26 and the Liquid Glass interface at its Worldwide Developers Conference. The event also highlighted enhancements to CarPlay, the Vision Pro, and the iPad.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, in his <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-06-15/wwdc-2025-biggest-releases-ipados-26-multitasking-visionos-26-and-new-carplay-mbxm63s2?srnd=undefined&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">latest</a> weekly "Power On&#8221; reported that the Liquid Glass interface, which unifies all of Apple&#8217;s operating systems for the first time, was the most discussed feature at the conference. However, other significant upgrades were also introduced, including to CarPlay and the iPad.
CarPlay for iOS 26 now includes the use of widgets, allowing users to view calendar appointments, weather updates, and stock tickers. Other enhancements include improved call notifications and texting capabilities, and the ability&nbsp;to AirPlay video from your&nbsp;phone to the car&#8217;s touch screen.
The iPad also saw significant changes, with Apple finally perfecting its approach to multitasking. Users can now easily move windows around,&nbsp;activate the Expose mode to&nbsp;view all active windows, and use&nbsp;the new toggles for window&nbsp;tiling.
Another highlight of the event was&nbsp;the new eye-scrolling feature on&nbsp;the Vision Pro headset, which allows users&nbsp;to scroll up and down&nbsp;webpages and apps by simply looking at them. The Vision Pro software also includes widgets that let users customize objects on the walls.

The inclusion of widgets in CarPlay for iOS 26, along with improved call notifications and texting capabilities, will greatly enhance user convenience. The ability&nbsp;to AirPlay video from your&nbsp;phone to the car&#8217;s touch screen is another significant upgrade.
For the iPad, the perfected approach to multitasking will allow users to manage their tasks more efficiently. The&nbsp;new eye-scrolling feature on the&nbsp;Vision Pro headset is another innovative feature that will change the way users interact with webpages and apps.
However, the challenge of improving Apple&#8217;s AI remains. The postponed Siri AI upgrade is eagerly awaited and will be a key focus for the company in the coming year.

Real estate mogul Grant Cardone has made his stance on consumer debt crystal clear. In a recent <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1932580122852245951">post on X</a>, the real estate mogul and motivational speaker warned that debt doesn't just slow people down financially—it traps them.
&#8220;Consumer debt makes slaves!&#8221; Cardone wrote. He broke it down into five main consequences: &#8220;Can't invest, can't keep up, pay extra for everything, can't build net worth, never live stress free.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Personal Loans Keep Rising</h2>
Cardone's post reflects a growing concern in the U.S. as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45497552/americans-consumer-debt-hits-all-time-high-of-18-2-trillion-experts-say-some-borrowers-will-have-a-much-more-difficult-time-getting-credit-going-forward">consumer debt</a> keeps climbing. <a href="https://www.lendingtree.com/personal/personal-loans-statistics/">According to</a> LendingTree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TREE#NASDAQ">TREE</a>), Americans owed a record $251 billion in personal loan debt as of the fourth quarter of 2024. That's a $6 billion jump from the year before.
And it's not just the total amount. TransUnion (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRU#NYSE">TRU</a>) <a href="https://newsroom.transunion.com/q4-2024-ciir/">data</a> shows that the number of Americans with personal loans hit 24.5 million, up from 23.5 million a year earlier. While personal loan debt still makes up just 1.4% of all consumer debt, it accounts for 5% of non-mortgage debt. For comparison, credit card debt is much higher, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43888952/americans-owe-a-record-1-21-trillion-in-credit-card-debt-expert-warns-theres-no-end-in-sight">sitting at $1.211 trillion</a>, or 6.7% of total outstanding debt.
According to TransUnion, the average personal loan balance per borrower is $11,607. Nearly half of borrowers take out loans just to consolidate or refinance other debt. Another 10% use the money to pay everyday bills.
Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</a>.
As Cardone wrote, &#8220;You pay extra for everything&#8221; when you&#8217;re stuck in debt. High interest rates only make it worse. Borrowers with excellent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-good-credit-score">credit scores</a> &#8212; over 720 &#8212; can expect personal loan APRs around 17.71%. But for those with poor credit &#8212; below 560 &#8212; rates skyrocket to over 200%, according to LendingTree data.
Despite high costs, personal loan use is expected to grow. People turn to them as credit card debt rises. LendingTree notes that many borrowers aren&#8217;t necessarily in crisis—they might be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/home-equity-loan-for-remodeling">remodeling a home</a> or covering a big expense. Still, as Cardone puts it, for those already stretched thin, more borrowing can result in serious stress and financial strain.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42080723/cathie-wood-sounds-alarm-on-us-auto-loans-as-90-day-delinquency-rates-surpass-2009-levels">Delinquency rates</a> also tell a cautionary tale. TransUnion reported that as of Q4 2024, 3.57% of personal loan accounts were 60 or more days past due. That's an improvement from the year before but still higher than rates for mortgages &#8212; 1.29% &#8212; or credit cards &#8212; 2.56%.
Cardone's message is harsh but timely. With debt balances climbing and millions relying on personal loans to stay afloat, his warning resonates: consumer debt doesn't just drain your wallet—it can drain your peace of mind.

Grant Cardone Says 'Consumer Debt Makes Slaves.' It Stops You From Investing, Costs You More, And Chains You To Stress

Summer Fridays were once a common perk in corporate America, but are fading from the workplace thanks in large part to the rise of remote and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45908840/as-layoffs-mount-one-question-is-getting-louder-what-happens-to-skyscraper-offices-in-cities-like-boston-when-people-are-replaced-by-ai">hybrid work models.</a>
What To Know: The phrase, "Summer Fridays" traditionally refers to the benefit allowing employees to leave early or take Fridays off during the summer months and get a head start on the weekend.&nbsp;
However, as organizations have embraced flexible<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45905463/dont-design-policies-around-the-bottom-5-warns-stripe-president-says-top-remote-workers-are-coding-up-a-storm-in-an-idaho-cabin"> work arrangements</a>, the need for a dedicated "summer Friday" has diminished, and the perk has become increasingly rare.

Before the pandemic, Summer Fridays were widely offered as a morale booster and a way to attract talent in a competitive job market. In 2019, over half of U.S. companies provided some form of summer benefit, according to Gartner HR.&nbsp;
Following the shift to remote and hybrid work, only about a third of workers reported having access to this perk by 2024. The reason is clear: with employees able to work from home, the rigidity of the traditional workweek has loosened. 
&#8220;Summer Fridays were once seen as a perk that allowed employees some flexibility during the summer months,&#8221; Jonathan Weindel, head of data analytics at Envoy, told EBN. 
&#8220;This has just lost a lot of relevance today. And there&#8217;s a lot more intentionality around what employees are doing when they&#8217;re actually in the workplace, primarily Tuesdays through Thursdays.&#8221;
However, as companies prioritize productivity and profitability the Summer Friday tradition is being replaced by broader, year-round flexibility.
The evolution of work culture means that, while Summer Fridays may be disappearing as a formal policy, the underlying desire for flexibility and work-life balance remains strong.&nbsp;
In the end, the spirit of Summer Fridays may live on, even as the tradition itself fades into the background.

Summer Fridays Are Over—Blame It On Remote Work

During a recent episode of his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gwrvsz-4xg">podcast</a>, &#8220;Office Hours with Prof G,&#8221; marketing professor and investor Scott Galloway had a straightforward message: America needs to stop shaming the unremarkable. "99% of us are not in the top 1%," he said, calling out a higher education system that, in his view, has abandoned most people.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Galloway: It&#8217;s Time To Respect The Unremarkable</h2>
Responding to a listener who asked what advice he has for young people who aren't elite students or high achievers, Galloway explained that he sees himself in that category. "I was unremarkable growing up," he said. "Didn't do well academically, didn't test well. But back then, America loved the unremarkable."

</ul>
He criticized the current model of higher education, arguing that it prioritizes the wealthy and the exceptional. "Higher education in America is about helping the bottom 90%, not identifying tax breaks and programs to make the top 10% the top 1%," Galloway said.&nbsp;
"I feel like higher education is leading this downfall by deciding that we are there for the children of rich people or for the freakishly remarkable," he added.&nbsp;
To show how common the stigma still is, Galloway described how at social gatherings, people often lower their voices when mentioning that their child is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41256368/college-dropout-makes-750k-per-year-in-real-estate-he-doesnt-sell-houses-or-own-a-single-piece-of-pr">dropping out of college</a>. "We all speak in hush tones," he said, "like the family's done something wrong or Bobby's mentally ill." He argued that this attitude is unfair and outdated. "A lot of kids are just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45754862/peter-schiff-agrees-with-trump-that-college-isnt-worth-it-for-most-his-fix-scrap-the-minimum-wage-and-let-kids-learn-trades-on-the-job">not cut out for college</a>, especially a lot of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45570238/when-men-dont-have-money-theyre-just-less-attractive-says-professor-scott-galloway-as-men-without-college-degrees-now-earn-22-less">young men</a>."

He believes the U.S. needs to expand apprenticeships and stop fetishizing college degrees. According to him, in Germany and the U.K., 11% of young professionals have ‘apprentice' in their LinkedIn title. In the U.S., it's 3%.
Galloway highlighted the benefits of vocational training, citing that even high school juniors taking auto shop classes are earning up to $70,000 without completing their senior year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Critique Of The American Workplace And Youth Policy</h2>
On the topic of returning to office work, Galloway stood by his long-held belief that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45483359/jamie-dimon-says-dont-tell-jpmorgan-what-to-do-as-he-tells-remote-workers-you-cant-learn-working-fro">office is key</a> for younger professionals to find mentorship, community, and even relationships. "One in three relationships begins at work," he said.

But he acknowledged that a blanket five-day <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/01/42903361/amazon-workers-return-to-office-with-some-exceptions-reported">return-to-office policy</a> can hurt caregivers and parents. Galloway said companies should recognize the needs of employees with caregiving duties or those with health struggles, suggesting they offer remote work as a thoughtful and practical benefit. He added that flexibility might come with lower pay but called it a fair trade-off.
He also criticized policies that favor older, wealthier Americans. "The average 70-year-old is 72% wealthier than they were 40 years ago. The average person under 40 is 24% less wealthy," he said. That's "an incredible transfer of wealth from young to old."
For young people trying to figure out their path, Galloway offers a grounding message: "Living a good life at modest means—getting up, taking care of your family, being a good partner, being a good citizen—there's real honor in that."

'99% Of Us Are Not In The Top 1%,' Says Scott Galloway, Believes Higher Education Has Given Up On Everyone But The Rich And The Exceptional

The strategic chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz — the maritime artery through which nearly 20% of global oil flows — is back on the radar of Wall Street research desks, as analysts asses the risk of a crude supply shock following Israel's latest strikes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/iran">on Iran's nuclear infrastructure.</a>
Squeezed between Iran and Oman, this thin strip of water narrows to just two shipping lanes of only 2 nautical miles each, leaving global oil flows dangerously exposed.
With the Israel-Iran standoff intensifying, the Strait of Hormuz is becoming a major worry for investors and the global economy. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oil Spiking Above $100 Still A Tail Risk, But Rising In Probability</h3>
Following the 12% weekly jump in oil prices – as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) – Goldman Sachs has increased its near-term geopolitical risk premium. 
In a note shared Friday, commodity analyst Daan Struyven estimated that if Iranian oil infrastructure is damaged and 1.75 million barrels per day are knocked offline for six months, Brent could briefly spike above $90. 
A broader regional escalation that impacts the Strait of Hormuz, however, could push oil above $100 in what Goldman Sachs describes as a "tail risk but non-negligible" scenario.
&#8220;Almost a third of global seaborne oil trade moves through the Strait of Hormuz. While some portion of oil flows could be diverted to avoid the Strait, it still leaves roughly 14m b/d of oil supply at risk,&#8221; said ING commodity analyst Warren Patterson. 
"A significant disruption would be enough to push Brent to $120 per barrel," he added.

Patterson also noted that global LNG markets would be squeezed, as Qatar — which supplies 20% of the world's liquefied natural gas — depends entirely on this chokepoint, with no viable alternate routes.
According to Kristian Kerr, head of macro strategy at LPL Financial, the market is closely watching how Iran might retaliate, particularly through its proxies. 
"The primary market concern lies with Iran potentially closing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas," Kerr said. 
"We think that's unlikely for now, given Iran&#8217;s need to maintain oil sales to China."
Kerr added that $80 per barrel is an important psychological threshold. A break above that level could trigger broader volatility across equity and credit markets.

A Thin Strip Of Water Keeps The World Economy On Edge: Will It Trigger A $100 Oil Shock?

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tips-first-time-homebuyers">Owning a home</a> is often seen as a dream financial goal, offering stability and long-term wealth-building potential. However, many potential buyers overlook the costs, focusing mainly on the down payment and monthly mortgage. Most don't realize that numerous hidden expenses can quickly add up, potentially throwing off their financial plans.
While a home may seem like a great investment in the moment, the ongoing costs involved can be far more than what you initially bargained for.
A recent Bankrate Hidden Costs of Homeownership <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/home-equity/hidden-costs-of-homeownership-study/">Study</a> sheds light on these often-overlooked costs. Beyond the mortgage, homeowners face maintenance, property taxes, HOA fees, utilities, and insurance, all of which can take a significant toll on their finances.
The study found that maintenance alone can cost homeowners about 1% of the home's value annually, meaning an average $300,000 home could require around $3,000 a year just for upkeep. Property taxes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/reit/19/08/14321132/are-hoa-fees-negotiable">and HOA fees</a> are also key contributors, with the potential to increase over time. Unexpected repairs, like HVAC or roof issues, can further strain finances.
These unanticipated expenses often surprise new homeowners, who may not be prepared for the financial reality of owning a home.
Utilities and energy costs often surprise homeowners as well. These expenses, along with homeowners' insurance (and flood insurance in some cases), add to ongoing costs that must be planned for. The Bankrate study highlights how these hidden costs can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/the-power-of-compound-interest">compound over time</a>, especially as homes age and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-are-property-taxes-a-comprehensive-guide">property taxes rise</a>.
Even routine costs like water and electricity, which might seem small at first, can grow significantly over the years. On top of these, homeowners may face fluctuating costs depending on seasonal changes, like higher heating or cooling bills. As homes age, they may require more frequent maintenance or upgrades, further driving up expenses.

Why That Dream Home May Cost More Than You Expect

President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran. He has stated that any attack on US forces or land would be met with an unprecedented military response.
What Happened: On Sunday Trump clarified that the US had no involvement in Israel&#8217;s recent attack on Iran, amidst ongoing aerial assaults between the two Middle Eastern nations.
Trump&#8217;s message was <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114685507052179501">posted</a> on Truth Social, where he stated, &#8220;If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.&#8221; He also expressed hope for a peaceful resolution between Iran and Israel.
&#8220;We can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!,&#8221; he said. 
Meanwhile, Iran retaliated against Israel&#8217;s Operation &#8220;Rising Lion,&#8221; resulting in at least 10 deaths and over 200 injuries. Iran&#8217;s&nbsp;Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi&nbsp;called for the US to&nbsp;condemn Israel&#8217;s attacks on its nuclear facilities, stating that Iran was merely defending itself.

Trump&#8217;s administration had been in talks with Iranian officials before the discussions began to deteriorate in early June. 
A sixth round of meetings was scheduled for Sunday in Oman, but was disrupted by Israel&#8217;s attack. European officials have offered to open talks with Iran&#8217;s nuclear program in an attempt to deescalate the situation.
Why It Matters: This development comes at a time when tensions in the Middle East are escalating. The US, under Trump&#8217;s administration, has been trying to mediate between Iran and Israel, but the recent attack by Israel on Iran has complicated matters. 
The warning issued by Trump is indicative of the US&#8217;s stance on the issue and its commitment to protect its forces and land. 
This could potentially lead to a shift in the dynamics of the Middle East, affecting not only the countries involved but also the global political landscape.

Investor and entrepreneur Kevin O&#8217;Leary, also known as &#8220;Mr. Wonderful&#8221; on &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; recently opened up about the cost of building wealth while raising a family.&nbsp;
In a <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1932423755315511796">post on X</a>, O'Leary admitted that while he was constantly working during his children's younger years, he believes his role as a provider was equally important.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

In the video, he expanded on this, saying, &#8220;It's always a really tough decision &#8230; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41781866/kevin-oleary-claims-you-have-to-work-25-hours-a-day-for-him-business-is-simple-you-either-make-money">you&#8217;re often not there</a> for your kids while they&#8217;re growing up, because during those formative years, you&#8217;re just working. That was my case. So my wife did a great job in raising my kids, but I was a great provider.&#8221;
O&#8217;Leary emphasized that financial contribution plays a major role in family stability. &#8220;That's key too. I mean, part of the whole financial issue of marriage is you got to provide, you have to take care of your family. That&#8217;s mandate number one.&#8221;
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.
He also made it known what he believes is the biggest threat to a marriage. &#8220;If you have financial stress in a marriage, you&#8217;re going to get divorced. It&#8217;s the No. 1 reason people get divorced, not infidelity. It&#8217;s financial stress.&#8221;
When rating himself, O'Leary said, &#8220;I would say when my kids were young, I was probably a six out of 10, but as a provider, I&#8217;m taking 10 out of 10 for that.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Solving Problems, Not Chasing Money</h2>
In a separate YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI2F2qu_k88">video</a> from last year, O&#8217;Leary shared his philosophy on building wealth. According to him, the fastest way to make a million dollars is to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45861901/the-fastest-way-to-make-a-million-dollars-is-to-make-the-first-10000-says-kevin-oleary-and-it-starts-with-solving-just-1-problem">earn your first $10,000</a>. After that, things become more scalable.
But O'Leary says it's not just about money. &#8220;People get wealthy not by pursuing money out of greed, but by pursuing a passion around a problem-solving exercise. That&#8217;s what business is all about.&#8221;

He encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to focus on real needs. &#8220;Think about that. Try and find something that&#8217;s a pain point that you know everybody has and then provide the product or service that solves for that.&#8221;
He says the model works at every scale: &#8220;That&#8217;s how you make a million. That&#8217;s how you make 5 million. That&#8217;s how you make 100 million. That&#8217;s how you make a billion.&#8221;
O'Leary also pointed out that social media is a powerful tool for building a business today, even if the work remains hard.

'I Worked Nonstop While My Kids Were Growing Up,' Says Kevin O'Leary. He Credits His Marriage's Survival To Eliminating Financial Stress

Nine of Iran&#8217;s leading nuclear scientists have been killed in a pre-emptive Israeli airstrike. This incident adds to the series of successful operations by Israel aimed at Iran&#8217;s nuclear experts.
What Happened: Israel launched a large-scale airstrike against Iran, effectively eliminating&nbsp;some of the Islamic Republic's&nbsp;top military and scientific leaders. 
Israel justified its actions by citing Iran&#8217;s&nbsp;rapidly advancing nuclear program and&nbsp;the slow pace of negotiations&nbsp;between Tehran and the US.
Since 2010, Israel&#8217;s intelligence agency, the Mossad, has been associated with the targeted&nbsp;killings of at least four&nbsp;other Iranian scientists. 
The most&nbsp;high-profile of these&nbsp;was the 2020 assassination of&nbsp;Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a physics professor viewed&nbsp;by Israel and Western officials&nbsp;as the mastermind behind Iran's nuclear weapons program.

The recent strikes reportedly claimed the lives of&nbsp;at least nine top Iranian&nbsp;nuclear scientists, including&nbsp;Fereidoun Abbasi, a former head&nbsp;of the Atomic Energy Organization&nbsp;of Iran, and&nbsp;Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, head of&nbsp;Iran's Islamic Azad University in&nbsp;Tehran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Friday that his goal was to neutralize&nbsp;any Iranian threat to Israel.&nbsp;Following the strikes, Iran&#8217;s top diplomat declared the scheduled talks with the US about Iran's nuclear program &#8220;meaningless&#8221;.
Why It Matters: The recent Israeli airstrikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. The targeted elimination of Iran&#8217;s top nuclear scientists could significantly hamper Iran&#8217;s nuclear program. 
This development could also further strain the already tense relations between the two nations and potentially derail the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the US. 
The international community will be closely monitoring the fallout from these strikes and its impact on regional stability.

Following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45911791/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-b">Thursday's fatal plane crash</a> in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, when a Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 787 Dreamliner aircraft, operated by Air India with 242 passengers onboard, crashed moments after takeoff, the aircraft manufacturer's troubled past has once again come to the surface.
Multiple Incidents, Three Whistleblowers And Prosecution Avoided
Serious questions about the company's safety and quality practices have been raised in the past following incidents with the 787 Dreamliner's Lithium-ion batteries, as well as three separate whistleblowers coming out to express serious concerns about the aircraft's manufacturing.
Amid the challenges, the company recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45481977/boeing-may-reportedly-once-again-dodge-prosecution-over-737-max-crashes-victims-families-slam-dojs-potential-agreement-as-backroom-deal-dressed-up-as-a-legal-proceeding"> avoided prosecution </a>by agreeing to pay over $1.1 billion in a deal over two fatal air crashes in 2018 and 2019 that led to the deaths of over 346 people. The decision has angered the victims' families.&nbsp;
The non-prosecution agreement involves the aircraft company investing $455 million in compliance and safety programs, as well as compensating the victims' families with over $444.5 million.
The trial was originally set to begin on June 23, but Boeing struck a deal that involved pleading guilty to misleading the FAA. The company had previously also avoided prosecution in 2021 when it was deferred after Boeing paid over $2.5 billion.
Jeju Air disaster, Faulty Bathroom Latches
In two separate incidents, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by South Korea's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42716905/boeing-in-spotlight-after-fatal-737-800-crash-in-south-korea-stock-declined-28-amid-deepening-2024-challenges">Jeju Air crashed</a>. The crash led to over 179 lives lost from the 181 passengers onboard the aircraft, while the Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36523143/im-going-to-die-passengers-experience-15-minute-nightmare-during-alaska-airs-harrowing-emergency">Flight 1282 </a>experienced a sudden loss of cabin pressure, forcing an emergency landing, as well as resulting in over 65 737 MAX 9 aircraft being grounded.
However, the woes didn't stop there as the FAA also proposed an airworthiness report after a passenger was stuck in a lavatory of a Boeing aircraft mid-flight due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">a faulty bathroom latch</a>. The repairs could reportedly cost Boeing $3.4 million and affect thousands of aircraft in its fleet.
Despite such issues, the FAA has recently allowed Boeing to continue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/05/45692905/faa-extends-program-allowing-boeing-to-conduct-inspections-on-agencys-behalf">inspections and approve repairs</a> on the agency's behalf.
Space ambitions proving difficult to realize
In addition to being a key figure in the aircraft manufacturing sector, Boeing is also a major player in the space exploration industry. The company's flagship rocket, the Starliner, was touted to be Boeing's answer to Elon Musk's SpaceX. However, fast forward to today, the Starliner has had its share of issues.
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/45827130/nasa-delays-boeing-starliner-flight-to-2026-amid-ongoing-technical-challenges">failed test in 2024</a> left two astronauts stranded aboard the International Space Station for over 9 months and the vehicle is yet to be certified for human transport. Besides this, the company's progress in its development is slower than anticipated, much to the dismay of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45855902/why-jeff-bezos-might-emerge-as-the-biggest-winner-in-the-trump-musk-feud"> NASA and Pentagon officials</a>.
Aftermath Of The fatal Ahmedabad crash
Following the disaster, Boeing CEO Kelly Otberg said that "a Boeing team stands ready to support the investigation led by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau."

Boeing's Troubled 2000s: From A Sweetheart $1.1B Deal Before Deadly Air India Crash To Stranding Astronauts At ISS And Airline Crashes

A tech employee recently discovered a jaw-dropping pay gap between them and a colleague with the same title and similar experience. While they earn $60,000 a year, their coworker, &#8220;John,&#8221; makes $115,000. The two work at a large tech company, and the disparity sparked a flood of advice and opinion on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Salary/comments/1l6vjfc/discovered_a_huge_pay_gap_what_now/">Reddit</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Merger, A Staffing Agency And Two Very Different Paychecks</h2>
The original poster explained that they lead two teams—including one that the poster built from scratch—while John is just a member of one. They have been at the company for two years; John has been there for three. The key difference is that John came from a startup that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602719/openais-acquisition-of-jony-ives-startup-poses-threat-to-apples-dominance">acquired by the tech giant</a>, keeping his original salary intact. The poster, on the other hand, was hired post-merger through a staffing agency.

&#8220;He was hired as part of a startup that was bought by this tech company,&#8221; OP wrote. &#8220;As such, his higher pay carried over after the merge. I was hired after the merge through a staffing agency.&#8221;
OP later updated the post to add: &#8220;I found out today that the company is trying very hard to find a reason to get rid of John, which is at least partially because he makes so much. Maybe our pay difference was for the best lol!&#8221;
This revelation added a surprising twist to the situation. While OP may be underpaid, John&#8217;s inflated salary appears to have made him a target. Many companies are always looking for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45748544/walmart-leverages-automation-and-ai-to-cut-costs-and-grow-paving-the-way-for-other-retailers-report">ways to cut costs</a>. If they think someone is overpaid and replaceable, some start building a case to get rid of them.
What started as a frustrating realization for OP might ultimately end in job loss for John. The title of &#8220;highest-paid peer&#8221; can sometimes come with a bullseye.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get An Offer, Be Ready To Leave</h2>
Commenters were quick to point out a harsh truth: negotiating power is everything.
&#8220;Apply to another job and get an offer. Use that offer to negotiate higher pay at your current job. Then—maybe—take the new job, it might be time to move in a new direction,&#8221; one commenter advised. Another added, &#8220;There is no maybe. Take the new job.&#8221;
Many echoed the same idea: internal raises tend to be small, and significant jumps usually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45793441/vincent-chan-reveals-the-top-financial-mistake-people-make-64-of-job-hoppers-say-switching-jobs-actually-leveled-up-their-career-faster">come by switching employers</a>.
Others cautioned that bringing up John&#8217;s name directly in negotiations would be a mistake. &#8220;Try to negotiate a raise and don&#8217;t bring John up in any way, shape or form,&#8221; someone warned. &#8220;You now know how high the ceiling is and they don&#8217;t know that you know. Use that to your advantage.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Than Merit</h2>
Many highlighted how hiring timing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45851993/mr-wonderful-kevin-oleary-says-he-was-once-told-by-a-ceo-to-shut-up-and-that-leveled-up-his-negotiation-skills-fellow-shark-mark-cuban-also-fle">negotiation skills</a> play a bigger role than job performance. John kept a premium salary due to his previous startup role, while OP started at the lower end because of agency involvement and timing.
&#8220;60k in tech is low, and that has nothing to do with the &#8216;pay gap,&#8217; it&#8217;s just low, period,&#8221; one compensation expert wrote. &#8220;You should be looking and interviewing, and the same would be true if you didn&#8217;t have a better-paid colleague.&#8221;
Some speculated that John's days may be numbered. &#8220;If they had someone that they thought was capable of doing John&#8217;s job for $60k, they would fire John today and hire that person,&#8221; a person foreshadowed what could happen before the post was updated.
The overwhelming consensus is not to count on your company to fix pay discrepancies. Use market research, get external offers, and be willing to leave.
&#8220;You&#8217;re only as valuable as someone is willing to pay you,&#8221; one person summarized.

Same Role, Same Experience—One Tech Worker Found Out Colleague Made Nearly Double The Money. It Could End Up Badly For One Of Them

Several customers&#8217; critical information has been compromised, leading to data breach alerts issued by&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>),&nbsp;Bank of America&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and&nbsp;TD Bank&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TD#NYSE">TD</a>).
What Happened: According to <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/data-breach-report-2025/download">filings</a> with the Massachusetts state government, the banks disclosed data breaches that have put customers&#8217;&nbsp;accounts and personal information at&nbsp;risk. 
Chase revealed that&nbsp;at least four customers in&nbsp;the state were affected by multiple breaches.
Chase employees, in two incidents, improperly accessed customers&#8217;&nbsp;credit and debit card information, which led to fraudulent transactions. The bank responded by closing the affected cards, issuing replacements, and reimbursing the customers.
Similarly, The Bank of America <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-961-bank-of-america/download">reported</a> that documentation related to at least one customer&#8217;s&nbsp;savings bonds was lost in&nbsp;transit on February 14th. Despite attempts to recover the documentation, the North Carolina-based lender has been unsuccessful.

TD Bank <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-966-td-bank/download">disclosed</a> that&nbsp;a former employee improperly accessed&nbsp;a customer&#8217;s personal information between December 2024 and January 2025. 
The bank is now&nbsp;monitoring the account for fraud&nbsp;and has offered&nbsp;the customer a complimentary two-year membership to an identity&nbsp;theft protection and recovery service.
Why It Matters: This series of data breaches underscores the ongoing challenges that banks face in protecting customer information. 
Despite stringent security measures, the incidents highlight potential vulnerabilities in the banking sector&#8217;s information security systems. 
The breaches also raise questions about the effectiveness of current protocols in preventing unauthorized access by employees and the need for enhanced measures to ensure the safe transit of sensitive customer documentation.

Musk's ISS Concerns, Auto Tariffs, Boeing Dreamliner Crash And Trump-Musk Reconciliation: This Week In Mobility

Billionaire investor&nbsp;Ray Dalio&nbsp;has shed light on his perspective on meme stock trading. Dalio emphasized the importance of market pricing, a factor he believes is often overlooked by investors. 
What Happened: In a post on X, Dalio observed that investors tend to get swept up in the latest meme stock trend, which he warns is likely to lose its appeal over time. 
Instead of focusing on the performance of a company, investors often neglect the importance of market pricing, leading to potential market errors.

&#8220;Most&nbsp;investors typically don't take into&nbsp;consideration market pricing&#8230;&nbsp;they don't pay enough attention&nbsp;to its pricing, even though&nbsp;its pricing (whether it is&nbsp;cheap or expensive) is the&nbsp;most important thing,&#8221; Dalio explained.

This advice from Dalio comes following his recent cautionary statements about the US economy. He has been urging the government to slash its budget deficit from 7% to 3% of GDP, proposing a three-pronged strategy involving tax revenue, spending cuts, and interest rates.
&#8220;At this time, it is typical for almost everyone to be looking to make money by buying assets that they believe will go up (rather betting on them going down), and they quite often use leverage,&#8221; he further added in the post. 
Why It Matters: Dalio&#8217;s insights on meme stock trading and the importance of market pricing come at a time when meme stocks have been making headlines. 
His advice serves as a reminder to investors to not lose sight of fundamental investment principles amidst the hype of trending stocks. 
His recent warnings about the US economy also underscore the need for fiscal responsibility and sound economic strategies.

Ray Dalio Shares His Meme Stock Trading Strategy: 'Most Investors Don't Take Into Consideration Market Pricing, They Don't Pay Enough Attention To Its Pricing'

Angel investor Naval Ravikant says Elon Musk quit talking to Bill Gates because "money is just a tool" for the Tesla chief, and anyone betting against his mission to decarbonize transport violates his code.
What Happened: In a conversation with cartoonist Scott Adams back in November 2024, Ravikant recounted a 2022 exchange in which Musk confronted Gates over a reported major short position in Tesla stock.
When Gates defended the wager as sound financial advice, Musk replied, &#8220;What do you care about making money? … I thought you were into electric cars,&#8221; then walked away &#8220;in disgust,&#8221; Ravikant said.
&#8220;Elon's a purist. He means what he says,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The money is a tool for him to get what he's trying to do.&#8221; According to a Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-turned-down-bill-gates-philanthropy-over-tesla-short-2022-4">report</a>, leaked texts later confirmed Musk rejected a climate-philanthropy meeting with Gates for the same reason. Musk called the short &#8220;categorically insane&#8221; and predicted Gates would be "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44434228/elon-musk-said-bill-gates-would-be-obliterated-for-shorting-tesla-but-short-sellers-just-made-16-2-billion-in-3-months-betting-against-him">obliterated</a>" once Tesla's self-driving cars and Optimus robots scale.

Ravikant argued the incident shows Musk's ambitions stretch far beyond quarterly earnings. &#8220;He wants to get humanity to the stars … I think he means to get there within a defined window of time,&#8221; he said, insisting the goal is concrete, not aspirational. Ravikant contrasted Musk with executives who trumpet bold visions they never plan to fulfill. &#8220;You kind of know they don't really mean it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Elon, I take at face value.&#8221;
&#8220;Elon doesn't want to go down as the electric-car guy. He wants to be the man who got humanity to the stars… and he'll do whatever it takes,&#8221; remarked Ravikant.
Why It Matters: Bill Gates says Elon Musk has "been nice to me at times, and mean to me at times,&#8221; a description that fits their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45484920/more-than-a-feud-elon-musk-bill-gates-spat-sheds-light-on-competing-views-of-efficiency">decade-long feud</a>. Gates still praises Musk's engineering triumphs, saying Tesla "forced the car industry to do great EVs&#8221; and SpaceX redefined rocketry, yet he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43880898/im-in-awe-bill-gates-says-elon-musk-is-brilliant-rich-and-influential-but-admits-hes-been-mean-to-me-at-times">remains baffled</a> by Silicon Valley billionaires' recent tilt toward President Donald Trump. The Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder says he is willing to work with Musk, but whether Musk sets aside past barbs is an open question.
More recently, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">sparred publicly</a> with Trump, blasting his "big, beautiful bill" as a letdown for the DOGE team and accusing the administration of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828121/elon-musks-bombshell-about-donald-trump-in-epstein-docs-heres-the-truth-behind-the-claim">withholding</a> Jeffrey Epstein–related documents.

월요일(21일) 금 가격이 사상 최고치로 급등했다. 금은 월요일 오전 11시 20분(동부표준시 기준) 온스당 2.5% 상승한 3,410달러로 상승했다. 이는 미국 금융자산에 대한 불신과 인플레이션 우려로 인해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2010년대 초</a> 글로벌 부채 위기 이후 볼 수 없었던 안전자산으로의 도피가 이어지는 것을 의미한다.
3월 초부터 SPDR Gold Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>)가 추적하는 금 가격은 19.4%라는 놀라운 상승률을 기록하며 2011년 8월 이후 가장 강력한 2개월 랠리를 이어가고 있다.
거시 경제 불안정성, 정치적 마찰, 달러와 미국 국채에 대한 투자자들의 회의론이 &#8216;퍼펙트 스톰&#8217;을 일으키며 금 상승세를 지지했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">금 가격 급등의 배경은?</h3>
금의 극적인 상승 근원은 펀더멘털, 구조적, 행동적 동인의 강력한 조합에 있다.
한때 안전한 피난처였던 미국 달러와 장기 국채는 최근 몇 주 동안 도널드 트럼프 대통령의 관세 공세와 제롬 파월 연준 의장과의 불화가 심화되면서 정치적 개입에 대한 우려가 커지고 미국 기관에 대한 신뢰가 약화되는 가운데 압력을 받고 있다.
이러한 상황에서 중립적이고 오랜 기간 검증된 가치 저장 수단이라는 금의 명성은 안정성을 추구하는 자본을 끌어들이고 있다.
그 결과 전통적인 헤지 수단이 흔들리는 중이다. 그러나 금은 권력자의 실수에 영향을 받지 않고 수 세기에 걸친 가치 저장 수단으로서의 지위를 바탕으로 하기 때문에 거시적 불확실성 증가로부터 피난처를 찾는 자본의 피난처로 부상했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">금 ETF에 대한 대규모 자금 유입, 강력한 투자 수요 의미</h3>
금에 대한 투자자들의 열망은 트럼프가 백악관으로 공식 복귀한 1월 중순 이후 금으로 뒷받침되는 상장지수펀드(ETF)로의 대규모 자금 유입을 통해 분명히 확인할 수 있다.

이러한 대규모 유입 흐름은 광범위한 기관 및 소매 수요를 나타낸다. 골드만삭스 애널리스트 리나 토마스는 이번 랠리가 단기 투기 세력에 의해 주도되고 있지 않다고 말했다.
토마스는 "데이터에 따르면 투기적 흐름이 크게 회복되지 않은 상태에서 이러한 움직임이 발생했다&#8221;고 했다.
"COMEX 투기 포지션이 여전히 온건한 것으로 추정되는 가운데, 이번 랠리는 구조적으로 뒷받침되고 있으며 급격한 단기 청산 위험에 덜 노출된 것으로 보인다. 따라서 현재 수준을 전술적으로 매력적인 진입점으로 보고 있으며, 이는 연말 전망치인 3,700달러에 대한 상승 리스크를 강화한다고 생각한다.&#8221;
야데니 리서치의 대표인 에드 야데니는 현재의 금 모멘텀이 1년 전의 자신의 주장을 입증하고 있다고 말했다.
&#8220;2024년 2월 말 온스당 2,000달러를 돌파한 이후 금에 대해 강세를 보였다. 올해 말까지 4,000달러 목표가 점점 더 현실적으로 보인다. 그렇게 된다면 2026년 말에는 5,000달러가 목표가 될 것이다.&#8221;
더 골드 불리언 컴퍼니(The Gold Bullion Company)의 릭 칸다(Rick Kanda)는 이렇게 말했다. "이러한 상황은 많은 자산에 위기로 다가올 수 있지만, 금에 있어서는 완벽한 결과다. 미국 주식시장에서 수조 달러의 손실이 발생하고 투자자들이 주식이나 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 같은 위험 자산보다는 안전자산을 찾아 실물 금으로 기울면서 인플레이션에 대한 우려가 여전히 높다.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">금광업체들, 모멘텀 되찾다</h3>
이러한 금 랠리는 2024년 대부분의 기간 동안 실물 금괴가 부진했던 금광업체들도 끌어올리고 있다. 반에크는 월요일에 "금은 금 상장지수펀드에 대한 새로운 자금 유입과 글로벌 중앙은행의 지속적인 수요 강세에 힘입어 온스당 3,000달러를 넘어 사상 최고치까지 치솟았다&#8221;고 했다.
"동시에 금광업체는 금 가격에 대한 레버리지를 회복하기 시작하여 올해 지금까지 가장 실적이 좋은 주식으로 부상하고 있다."
VanEck Gold Miners ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>)는 연초 대비 52% 가까이 상승하며 2007년 펀드 출범 이후 가장 높은 연간 상승률을 기록했다.
금의 강력한 랠리에 대응하여 월요일 뱅크오브아메리카는 북미 금 및 은 관련 기업에 대한 목표주가를 올렸다.
이는 귀금속 부문의 1분기 실적 시즌을 앞두고 나온 조치로, 4월 23일에는 뉴몬트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>), 4월 24일에는 애그니코 이글 마인스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>)가 실적을 발표할 예정이다.

금요일(11일) 금 가격은 미중 무역 긴장이 고조되는 가운데 트럼프 취임 후 관세 긴장 속 인상적인 랠리를 이어가면서 온스당 3,212달러를 넘어서 사상 최고치를 경신했다.
무슨 일 있었나: 도널드 트럼프 대통령의 1월 20일 취임 이후 주요 금광주는 20% 이상 올랐으며, 투자자들이 안전자산을 찾으면서 일부 기업은 연초 대비 40% 가까운 상승률을 기록했다.
목요일(19일) 미국은 중국산 수입품에 기존 20% 관세에 더해 125%의 관세를 부과하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44753780/us-stock-futures-fall-nikkei-crashes-over-5-as-markets-reel-from-trumps-tariff-shock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">총 145% </a>관세를 부과한다고 발표했다. 이 조치는 트럼프 대통령이 대부분의 다른 국가에 대한 관세 인상을 90일간 유예한 조치를 압도했다.
연초 대비 20% 이상 상승한 금 주식은 목요일 무역 긴장과 기록적인 금값으로 인해 추가 상승했다.

JP모건 애널리스트 도미닉 오케인은 &#8220;채굴업계는 지난 세 번의 경기침체에서 가장 좋은 성과를 거둔 업종이었다&#8221;며 2년 동안 채굴업체의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44709602/jpmorgans-mining-stock-picks-for-a-v-shaped-recovery-analyst-sees-50-returns-over-two-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">총 주주 수익률이 50%를 넘을 것으로 예상했다.</a>
왜 중요한가: 최근의 시장 역학 관계는 3월의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44753780/us-stock-futures-fall-nikkei-crashes-over-5-as-markets-reel-from-trumps-tariff-shock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">예상치 못한 미국 소비자 물가지수 하락</a>으로 인해 더욱 영향을 받았다. 트레이더들은 연준이 6월부터 금리인하를 시작하는 데 베팅하고 있다.
세계금협회에 따르면 글로벌 실물 기반 금 ETF는 3월에만 86억 달러의 자금이 유입되었으며, 북미 투자자가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/04/44748769/gold-fever-grips-wall-street-these-etfs-are-striking-it-rich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">분기 총액의 76%를 차지</a>했다.

뱅크오브아메리카 증권 애널리스트인 로슨 윈더(Lawson Winder)는 지난주 금 가격의 성과와 앞으로의 방향에 대해 설명했다.
금 가격은 그의 장기 목표가인 온스당 3,000달러를 넘어섰으며, 투자 수요가 10% 증가하면 3,500달러까지 상승할 가능성이 있다고 전망했다.
또한 중국 보험 부문은 자산의 최대 1%를 금에 할당할 수 있으며, 이는 연간 금 시장의 약 6%에 해당한다. 중앙은행들은 현재 보유액의 약 10%를 금으로 보유하고 있으며, 포트폴리오 효율성을 위해 금 보유량을 30% 이상으로 늘릴 수 있다.
개인 투자자들도 금에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 주요 지역에서 실물 기반 금 ETF가 전년 대비 4% 상승했다.
또한 잠재적인 무역 정책 불확실성과 미국 달러 약세도 금 가격을 더욱 상승시킬 수 있다. 애널리스트는 미국 재정 적자의 재조정도 금에 대한 강세 전망을 만들 수 있다고 지적했다.
3월 27일, 트럼프가 미국산 수입 승용차에 25% 관세를 부과하겠다고 발표한 후 금은 온스당 3,060달러까지 치솟았다.
3월 28일에는 연준이 선호하는 인플레이션 지표인 개인소비지출(PCE) 지수가 예상보다 높게 발표되면서 상승세가 이어져 온스당 3,087달러까지 올랐다.
금은 2.1% 상승한 온스당 3,085달러에 마감했고 주요 금 주가 지수도 상승했다.

로슨 윈더가 커버하는 모든 북미 금 생산업체가 2024년 말 금 매장량을 발표했으며, 엘도라도 골드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EGO#NYSE">EGO</a>)는 9월 30일 기준으로, 팬 아메리카 실버(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>)는 6월 30일 기준으로 보고했다.
대부분의 회사가 2025년 생산량 가이던스를 발표했지만, SSR 마이닝(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSRM#NASDAQ">SSRM</a>)은 아직 발표하지 않았다. SSR 마이닝은 합리적인 2025년 생산 추정치를 사용하여 매장량 수명 분석에 포함되었다.
윈더는 매장량이 증가하는 추세에 있지만 이러한 성장은 주로 매장량이 크게 증가하기보다는 연간 금 생산량이 감소했기 때문이라고 지적했다. 또한 2024년 총 금 매장량은 1.4% 증가에 그친 반면 생산량은 8% 감소했다고 지적했다.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">지정학적 긴장과 경제 불확실성</a>이 고조되는 가운데 금 상승 모멘텀은 둔화될 기미가 보이고 있다. 중앙은행과 투자자들이 안전을 추구하며 금에 눈을 돌리면서 SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 금 현물 가격은 수요일(5일) 온스당 2,860달러에 마감하며 5거래일 연속 상승을 기록했다.
세계금협회(World Gold Council)는 수요일 공유한 보고서에서 장외 투자를 포함한 총 금 수요가 4분기에 전년 대비 1% 증가해 2024년 4,974톤이라는 신기록을 세웠다고 강조했다.
중앙은행들은 3년 연속 1,000톤 이상의 금을 매입하며 주도적인 역할을 해왔으며, 4분기에는 매입량이 333톤으로 급격히 증가했다.
세계금협회는 "중앙은행과 투자자들이 시장 강세를 주도하고 있으며, 가치 측면에서의 수요는 이전에는 볼 수 없었던 수준에 도달했다"고 설명했다.
<h3>중앙은행들이 금 매입 서두르는 이유?</h3>
중앙은행의 금 매입 급증은 지정학적 리스크가 고조되는 가운데 미국 달러에 대한 의존도를 줄이려는 기관들이 글로벌 금융에 전략적 변화를 꾀하고 있다는 신호다.
최근 도널드 트럼프의 10% 수입 관세 부과와 중국의 미국산 에너지 수입에 대한 보복 조치로 촉발된 미국과 중국 간의 긴장은 헤지 수단으로서 금의 위상을 더욱 강화시켰다.
트럼프 대통령이 가자지구에 미군을 파견할 가능성을 시사하면서 불확실성이 더욱 커져 투자자들이 금으로 몰리고 있다.
반에크(VanEck) 포트폴리오 매니저인 이마루 카사노바는 이렇게 말했다. &#8220;이번 금 가격 움직임은 지난 2년간 금 시장 역학 관계의 중대한 변화를 반영한다고 생각한다. 전 세계 중앙은행들은 2022년 이후 기록적인 양의 금괴를 매입하면서 금 수요와 금 가격의 주요 동인으로 부상했다.&#8221;
<h3>금 랠리 속 여전히 저평가된 금 채굴주의 추격 플레이</h3>
금 가격의 괄목할 만한 상승세에도 불구하고 세계 최대 금 채굴업체 중 일부는 실적이 크게 저조한 것으로 나타났다.
스프로트 자산운용(Sprott Asset Management) CEO인 존 시암파글리아(John Ciampaglia)는 이렇게 말했다. &#8220;세계 최대 금 채굴 업체 중 일부는 작년에 어려움을 겪었다. 뉴몬트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>)와 배릭 골드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>)는 금보다 실적이 상당히 저조했다. 많은 투자자들이 금 주식에 투자하는 이유는 운영 레버리지 때문이기 때문에 그 점을 잘 이해하지 못하는 것 같다."
하지만 최근 금 채굴주들이 따라잡기 시작했다. 수요일에 VanEck Gold Miners ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>)는 2.2% 상승하여 10월 말 이후 최고치를 기록했고, 2020년 7월 이후 최장 기간인 6주 연속 상승세를 이어가고 있다. 올해 들어 금 채굴주는 18.9% 상승하며 다른 모든 산업을 능가하는 수익률을 기록했다.
수요일 GDX ETF 내 최고 수익률을 기록한 금 채굴주는 다음과 같다.
