What is the expected timeline for the tariff's implementation and any potential future changes?

Timeline for the Swiss‑gold tariff

  • Implementation date: The 39 % tariff that President Trump announced will take effect on  7 August 2025 .
  • Scope of the tariff: It is levied on the two‑thirds of the world’s one‑kilogram and 100‑ounce gold bars that are refined (smelted) through Switzerland.

Potential future changes

  • The release does not mention any scheduled review, amendment, or expiration of the tariff.
  • No details are provided about whether the tariff could be adjusted, reduced, or lifted in response to market developments, diplomatic negotiations, or legislative action.
  • Consequently, based on the information available, the only concrete timeline is the August 7 2025 start‑date; any future modifications remain unspecified at this time.

Take‑away

  • As of the news release (8 August 2025), the tariff is already in force (effective from 7 August 2025).
  • There is no publicly disclosed plan for further changes, so investors and market participants should monitor official announcements or policy updates for any possible revisions after the tariff’s implementation.
