US President Donald Trump has confirmed that gold imports will continue to be exempt from his administration’s tariffs regime. Trump has clarified the situation in response to the Customs & Border Protection agency’s recent ruling that one-kilogram and 100-ounce gold bars will be subject to the country-based tariffs regime that took effect on 7 August. Official data shows that Australia exported $11bn worth of non-monetary gold to the US during the first four months of 2025, compared with $2.95bn for the whole of 2024.

Researchers from the University of Leeds in the UK have created what they contend is the world’s thinnest unsupported gold. The material is one million times thinner than a human finger nail and regarded as 2D, and the researchers claim it is 10 times more efficient as a catalytic substrate than the currently used gold nanoparticles. They claim the material, which they have dubbed ‘nanoseaweed’ because of its shape and because it appears green in water, could have a wide range of applications in the electronics and medical devices industries. They also state it could be used as a catalyst to accelerate chemical reactions in a range of industrial processes
