Gold Crashed 30% This Year — Now It's Climbing Again. Should Your TFSA or RRSP Be In It?

  August 12, 2026 If you've only glanced at the gold headlines this week, you've probably seen some version of "gold near two-month high." That's true — spot gold touched an intraday peak of US$4,434.84 an ounce on Tuesday, its best level since June 5, before settling back to around US$4,382. But "two-month high" undersells what's actually happened to gold in 2026, and that fuller story is the part that matters if you're deciding whether to put any of it in a TFSA, RRSP, or FHSA right now. Here's the short version: gold went nearly vertical in January, hit an all-time record, crashed by close to 30% within weeks, spent the spring and early summer languishing near US$4,000, and has spent the last six weeks clawing about 10% of that back. Where it goes from here is genuinely split among the banks that cover it professionally. That's the setup worth understanding before you buy. The wildest year gold has ever had Gold entered 2026 already o...

Your lookahead horoscope: June 23 2024

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

If you have a clear idea of what you hope to accomplish over the coming year then no force on Earth will be able to stop you. If you don’t have a clear idea then make that your first priority: Narrow down your aims to one truly amazing goal.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You need to let someone know that if they don’t stop trading in rumours they are going to regret it. You don’t have to make threats as such but you do need to remind them that you have more dirt on them than they have on you!

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

You may be full of energy and raring to go but the influence of the full moon, though waning, means you must be careful not to get carried away and start taking on tasks you may not be able to finish. Quality is always superior to quantity.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Be on your guard as the new week begins because cosmic activity in the main financial area of your chart warns that some people will see you as an easy mark. Be especially wary of an offer that sounds just perfect for your needs. It’s probably a hoax.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

With the sun, Mercury and Venus all moving through your sign it will be easy to focus your energy in a single direction, but make sure it is the correct single direction. Listen to what your inner voice tells you, not what friends and colleagues are saying.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You may look calm on the outside but on the inside you are actually somewhat fearful and your main task as the new week begins is to control that fear so it doesn’t take you over completely. Seriously, what have you got to be worried about?

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Bumps and bruises are to be expected, though the damage is likely to be to your ego rather than physical. Just because something you tried failed to work does no make you a failure. At least you gave it a go. Your rivals were too afraid to even try.

    LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

    You must not compromise on a point of principle over the coming week, even if it means you could lose out financially. It does not matter how much money you may make, if your conscience is nagging at you then you will never be happy.

    SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

    Even if you are the sort of Scorpio who prefers to avoid unnecessary confrontations you will be up for the fight over the next few days. Deep down you know that no matter how dangerous your opponents may be you are both tougher and smarter.

    SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

    The message of the stars now is that you must earn more or spend less – better still, find ways to do both. However, as the full moon’s influence remains strong you should think about it for a day or two before making any long-term decisions.

    CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

    Try not to make a big deal of something that, a few days from now, everyone else will have forgotten about. Sometimes you can get a bit obsessive about the wrongs you think have been done to you, but this particular wrong is really not worth worrying about.

    AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

    If someone you work alongside goes out of their way to criticize your efforts you must go out of your way to let them know their opinions don’t bother you in the slightest. Take it as a compliment that they feel the need to make you look bad.

    PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

    Creative activities are under excellent stars now and whatever you put your mind to over the next few weeks is sure to go well. Don’t try to do it all at once though. Draw up your plans, start off slowly and build up speed until you become unstoppable.
