Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) has introduced a bill calling for the first comprehensive audit of the United States' gold reserves in over 70 years. Titled "The Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025," the bill aims to bring clarity to the leading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">global gold reserve</a>.
"Americans deserve transparency and accountability from the institutions that underpin our currency," Massie said in a <a href="https://massie.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=395725">statement</a> accompanying the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3526">bill's release</a>.
The legislation, supported by Reps. Troy Nehls (R-TX), Addison McDowell (R-NC), and Warren Davidson (R-OH) would mandate that the Comptroller General, through the Government Accountability Office, conduct a full audit, assay, and inventory of all U.S. gold holdings within one year of enactment.
It would also require a complete account of all gold-related transactions dating back 50 years, including sales, loans, leases, swaps, and encumbrances. A recurring audit would happen every five years.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">World&#8217;s Largest Gold Reserves</h3>
According to the U.S. Treasury, the United States holds the world's largest national gold reserve at roughly 8,133 metric tons, or over 261 million troy ounces. A majority of that gold—more than 147 million ounces—is held at Fort Knox, with the remainder stored in locations including the Denver Mint, West Point, and the New York Fed.
The reserves date back to the 1930s, when the U.S. government collected vast amounts of gold following the Gold Reserve Act and subsequent executive orders issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Massie discussed the bill in an X <a href="https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1930996622311239890">post</a>, saying that it would "provide full disclosure President (Donald) Trump seeks," referring to Trump's February call to inspect Fort Knox's holdings physically. The push for gold transparency also gained traction earlier this year after Elon Musk proposed a live-streamed audit of U.S. reserves, a suggestion widely dismissed as a publicity stunt.
The renewed debate over U.S. gold reserves is gaining traction due to the growing global interest in the yellow metal. Central banks and investors have been seeking it as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/05/45617358/gold-demand-holds-firm-as-dollar-confidence-wavers">hedge against geopolitical instability</a>, Trump's administration policies, and U.S. fiscal uncertainty. In 2024, central banks bought over 1,044 metric tons of gold, marking the third consecutive year of purchases over 1,000 tons.
The United States remains the world&#8217;s largest holder of gold. At a current spot price of $3,320 per ounce, U.S. reserves are valued at approximately $868 billion. Meanwhile, the spot price of the yellow metal has surged by around 26.6% year-to-date, rising from $2,623 at the start of the year and reaching a new all-time high of $3,500 per ounce on April 25.

Kentucky Rep Pushes Bill To Audit U.S. Gold Reserves

On Monday, Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) annual <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45844424/apple-wwdc-2025-ios-26-announced-with-liquid-glass-design-new-apple-intelligence-features-and-more">Worldwide Developers Conference</a> (WWDC) 2025 keynote wrapped up.
What Happened: From giving third-party developers access to powerful on-device models to launching real-time translations and expanding visual AI tools, Apple has tried to position itself as a major contender in the AI race, while keeping privacy at the forefront.
Here's a breakdown of everything Apple announced about Apple Intelligence this year.
Siri Still Missing In Action — But Not Forgotten
Apple Senior Vice President Craig Federighi opened with a recap of last year's Apple Intelligence rollout, which skipped over the company's flagship assistant, Siri. That omission remained unchanged this year, but Apple hinted that it&#8217;s intentional.
"As we&#8217;ve shared, we&#8217;re continuing our work to deliver the features that make Siri even more personal. This work needed more time to reach our high-quality bar, and we look forward to sharing more about it in the coming year," he stated.

Apple Opens AI Access To Developers With Foundation Models Framework
The tech giant announced a new Foundation Models framework that gives third-party developers direct access to the same large language models that power Apple Intelligence.
This means apps can now integrate Apple's on-device AI to deliver smarter, privacy-focused features — even when offline. Apple showcased early examples: education app Kahoot can now build quizzes from a user's notes, while All Trails can recommend hikes based on personal preferences.
Messages Get Smarter With Genmoji And Image Playground
Apple is bringing more creative flair to iMessages with Genmoji. Genmoji now allows users to combine emojis or create new ones using text prompts. Emojis and Memoji can also now show different expressions.
Image Playground, Apple&#8217;s generative art tool, now supports new styles like oil painting and lets users craft images in the tone of ChatGPT-style prompts. Developers can also integrate these tools into their apps using a newly released Image Playground API.
Apple also reiterated its privacy-first stance: "You&#8217;re always in control, and nothing is shared with ChatGPT without your permission," the company said.

Real-Time Translations Come To iPhone Calls, FaceTime And Messages
Perhaps one of the most practical upgrades, Apple Intelligence now enables live translation across calls, FaceTime and text messages — all powered by Apple-built models that run entirely on-device.
During phone calls, the system provides real-time spoken translations to both parties, even if the recipient isn't using an iPhone. In Messages, texts are translated as you type and read. FaceTime now offers live translated captions, enhancing accessibility.
Developers can also access these features through a new Call Translation API, while Apple Music adds lyric translation, making international music more accessible than ever.
Visual Intelligence Expands Across Screens And the Real World
Apple is pushing further into computer vision with expanded Visual Intelligence features in iOS 26. Users can now take a screenshot or view any content on their screen and instantly take action.
For example, a screenshot of a social media post about an event will trigger an "Add to Calendar" button that automatically fills in date, time, and location. A photo of a jacket or sneakers will prompt image-based product suggestions and reviews.
A new Ask button lets users query ChatGPT about screenshots, while Image Search allows them to find more context or similar items. These features also extend to the camera control and action button, allowing users to retrieve real-time information about objects or places in their surroundings.

watchOS 26 Introduces Liquid Glass And AI-Powered Workout Buddy
Apple Watch is getting an aesthetic and functional refresh with watchOS 26, which debuts a sleek Liquid Glass interface. The OS also brings AI-powered enhancements to fitness features.
A new Workout Buddy gathers data from your workouts to provide real-time coaching insights. It even uses a generative voice feature to offer verbal encouragement — a blend between Siri and a personal trainer, albeit still sounding somewhat robotic.
Price Action: Apple shares were down 1.48%, reaching $200.91, at the time of writing, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings reveal that Apple is experiencing a short-term upward price trend, while showing a downward trajectory over the medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed metrics are available here</a>.

With an ever-changing macro policy backdrop, the spending environment was the focus of this discussion.&nbsp; AI product cycles were another key topic discussed, with companies citing healthy pilot activity for agentic applications.&nbsp;
Based on discussions, participating software companies endorsed a generally stable environment, although companies remained cognizant of underlying risks.

Furthermore, the analyst report noted that while product cycles for agentic AI are still in their early stages, they are reportedly gaining traction through initial pilot deals.
Analyst Brad Sills included key takeaways from meetings with participating companies in this report. 
Sills said Microsoft Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) (Buy, price forecast $515) Commercial CFO Mat McBride suggested sustained momentum in the Azure business, led by healthy cloud migration. According to the analyst, Microsoft is rapidly innovating across the enterprise stack.
ServiceNow&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) (Buy, price forecast $1,085) Chief Customer Officer Chris Bedi highlighted solid execution through a tough macro environment in the tariff-impacted manufacturing vertical and DOGE-impacted Federal vertical. ServiceNow noted sustained momentum across the broad IT, customer, and employee application suites. It is expanding rapidly to multiple departments in the enterprise.
In front office applications, Salesforce&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) (Buy, price forecast $350) COO and CFO, Robin Washington, reiterated pockets of weakness in tariff-impacted verticals like manufacturing and retail, though noting strength elsewhere, Sills said. According to the analyst, Salesforce is driving growth in both core and Agentforce.
The analyst noted that Datadog&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDOG#NASDAQ">DDOG</a>) (Buy, price forecast $138) CFO, David Obstler, highlighted the company&#8217;s expanding product offering and its long-term growth potential for monitoring cloud workloads, which are increasing in volume and complexity due to AI. The analyst noted that Datadog&#8217;s AI-native cohort is growing quickly, though volatility is inherent in the consumption model.
Sills said Asana (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASAN#NYSE">ASAN</a>) (Buy, price forecast $21) noted slight incremental macro headwinds in April for its enterprise segment. According to the analyst, AI Studio could represent a powerful second-half 2026 catalyst for Asana.
The analyst noted that software firms cited solid leading indicators for agentic application adoption, though these cycles remain nascent.
He said data management vendors such as Microsoft noted added database activity as enterprises prepare for running agentic AI applications.
DevSecOps software vendor JFrog (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FROG#NASDAQ">FROG</a>) (Buy, price forecast $48) discussed how AI-focused code is beginning to show up more this year, Sills said. The analyst pronounced JFrog&#8217;s setup good heading into the second half of 2025.
Application vendors Salesforce and ServiceNow cited healthy pilot activity for agentic applications, Agentforce, and Now Assist, the analyst noted. However, he said revenue targets are limited at this cycle stage.&nbsp;
Microsoft cited hundreds of thousands of customers running Microsoft 365 Copilot, expanding deployments, Sills noted.&nbsp;
He said that OneStream (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OS#NASDAQ">OS</a>) (Buy, price forecast $33) highlighted its attractive AI value proposition and adoption trends in the back office with its SensibleAI Forecast offering. OneStream is an AI-powered back-office disruptor.
The analyst said Asana and Freshworks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRSH#NASDAQ">FRSH</a>) (Neutral, price forecast $18) noted healthy demand for AI Studio and Freddy AI. Freshworks&#8217; AI offerings are driving up the list across all growth levers.

<h3>About Freeport-McMoRan</h3>
Freeport-McMoRan owns stakes in 10 copper mines, led by its 49% ownership of the Grasberg copper and gold operations in Indonesia, 55% of the Cerro Verde mine in Peru, and 72% of Morenci in Arizona. It sold around 1.2 million metric tons of copper (its share) in 2024, making it the one of the world's largest copper miners by volume. It also sold about 900,000 ounces of gold, mostly from Grasberg, and 70 million pounds of molybdenum. It had about 25 years of copper reserves at the end of December 2024. We expect it to sell similar amounts of copper midcycle in 2029, though we expect gold volumes to decline to about 700,000 ounces then due to falling production at Grasberg.
In light of the recent options history for Freeport-McMoRan, it's now appropriate to focus on the company itself. We aim to explore its current performance.

It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Merck &amp; Co has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 28.44 of the Pharmaceuticals industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
