Is China about to reset the gold price?
There’s something happening in the gold market. It isn’t loud or headline-grabbing, but it could reshape everything we take for granted about global finance. The Shanghai Futures Exchange has announced major reforms. On paper, it’s about futures contracts and foreign investor access. But in reality, it’s China laying the foundation for something far more ambitious. […]
On Tariffs, Chaos, and the Quiet Power of Resilience
Every so often, a legal ruling reverberates beyond the walls of the courtroom, not because of its immediate consequence, but because of what it reveals about where we are and perhaps, where we’re headed. This week, the U.S. Court of International Trade handed down one such judgment. It ruled that the sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs, […]The Fed Is Lying to Itself
There’s a line that came to mind this week. Something a wise man once said: “Narratives, like currencies, only work if people believe in them.” Well, belief is wobbling. Let’s start with something rather curious. Most didn’t notice but a few days ago the cost of credit default swaps on U.S. government debt quietly rose to levels […]The Bond Crash Has Begun. Buy Gold.
This week, Japan’s government bond market, one of the largest and most tightly managed in the world, showed unexpected signs of strain. Auctions for 30- and 40-year government bonds saw no demand. For a major economy with a historically captive investor base, that’s a significant moment. It suggests growing unease around long-term debt, fiscal credibility, […]Who Really Owns America’s Gold?
Less than a week ago the gold price sailed past $3,000. And there it has held firm. Silver has also made some notable moves. Something has changed and it seems like it could be here to stay. The push to own gold and silver is not just a vote for financial diversification but it is […]Is the U.S. About to Revalue Gold? What It Means for You!
There has been growing discussion about the possibility of the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve monetising America’s gold reserves. If this happens, it could have significant implications for gold prices, monetary policy, and financial markets. Understandably many of you have been in touch asking what this would look like and the implications of it. So, we’ve made a video. […]Gold Hits Another Record High
It has felt like we have been talking about the Federal Reserve rate cut for months and months. Finally we have something to say about it: The Fed decided to cut rates, and they cut rates by 50 basis points. Gold responded in true form and touched another record high. At the time of writing gold […]
Gold Slips as Fed Signals More Hikes to Come
Yesterday the FOMC concluded their September meeting yesterday, leaving rates at their 22-year high. It signalled another rate hike was coming, this side of Christmas. The FOMC also amended its projection for 2024 rates, raising them from 4.6% to 5.1%. Unsurprisingly the US dollar surged whilst gold fell back. Prior to the FOMC statement gold […]
Is Central Banks’ License to Print Money About to Expire?
One of the biggest reasons for people deciding to buy gold bars or to own silver coins is because of the folly of central banks and government. It seems bizarre to most people that we are all aware that money doesn’t grow on trees and yet those responsible for financial stability have forgotten this basic […]
