gold news

 They've been buying gold, which is my theory, which is why you will see gold go higher, the dollar go lower in an effort to bring back manufacturing and sell it to the world. But how do you bring it back? Well, you create zero coupon bonds back to gold. And as the price goes higher and higher and higher over the duration of the bond, and when you finally have to deliver the gold at maturity, gold is way higher than when you sold it. And it's just a fraction of the ounces. This gives you a chance

maybe to grow yourself out of this problem down the road. Otherwise, what do you do? You inflate or you default like every other government has done before us. [music] In January 1971, gold was priced at just $35 an ounce. By January 1980, it had reached $800 an ounce. That was a 2,700% increase in less than a decade. If something like that were to happen again, not as a forecast, but simply as a historical comparison, gold would be priced near $100,000 an ounce today. But focusing on the dollar price of gold

misses the point. Gold didn't suddenly become more valuable. Gold didn't change at all. The dollar did. The real question isn't what is gold worth in dollars. It's what is the dollar worth in gold? When gold rose from $35 to $800, the dollar lost roughly 94% of its value when measured against gold. That move wasn't speculation. It was currency devaluation. Today, many people expect the collapse of the dollar to show up in foreign exchange markets. They watch the euro, the yen, or the pound and assume

stability means strength. But that's the wrong place to look. Take the euro as an example. When the euro was first introduced in 2000, it was worth roughly the same over 25 years despite volatility, the exchange rate is essentially unchanged. That doesn't mean currencies are stable. It means they're all being devalued together. Currency collapse doesn't show up in forex markets. It shows up in gold. Gold is the constant. Currencies are the variable. If you put a gold coin in a drawer and come back a year later, it

hasn't multiplied. It hasn't changed. The only thing that changed is the purchasing power of the currency used to measure it. That distinction became very real in 2022. At the time, Russia held about $600 billion in foreign reserves. Roughly 25% of that, around $150 billion, was stored as physical gold bullion inside Russia. When sanctions hit, US treasuries could be frozen, bank assets could be seized, but physical gold could not. That single fact reshaped global thinking. Despite losing

access to dollar assets, Russia ended up making more money on its gold reserves than it lost on frozen treasuries. Gold rose sharply, generating over $200 billion in marktomarket gains. Ironically, the sanctions themselves accelerated global gold buying. They created doubt about the safety of paper reserves. The message was clear. Paper assets can be confiscated. physical gold cannot. Since 2009, the shift has been dramatic. Russia increased its gold holdings from roughly 600 metric tons to around 2,800 tons. China followed a

similar path, officially holding close to 3,000 tons today, likely more than what's publicly disclosed. Gold is no longer treated as a commodity. It's being treated as neutral money, but no asset rises in a straight line. Even powerful bull markets include sharp corrections. Along the path higher, gold could experience a 50% retracement at some point, forming a new base before continuing higher. That doesn't signal failure. It signals reset and continuation. This isn't the end of the

move. It's the beginning of a new monetary phase. Most investors misunderstand gold's role. They ask how high gold can go in dollars. That's the wrong question. Gold isn't rising. Currencies are weakening. This process is now being driven by something far larger than speculation. Global debt. Governments cannot realistically repay what they owe. That leaves only three options. Inflate, default, or restructure. A quiet fourth option is emerging. Gold linked debt instruments including goldbacked or gold linked

bonds change the equation. If debt is settled in gold instead of currency and gold rises over time, fewer ounces are required to repay that debt. In that framework, rising gold prices aren't a problem. They're the solution. This is why central banks are accumulating gold while allowing their currencies to weaken. Gold also performs differently than most people expect across economic cycles. It's not just an inflation hedge. It performs extremely well in deflation. During the worst years of the

Great Depression, from 1929 to 1933, the most severe deflationary period in US history, gold rose by roughly 75%. That happened because deflation strengthens the creditor and punishes the debtor.

Whether the future brings inflation, deflation, or restructuring, gold remains relevant. and silver sits beside it, bridging money and industry. Historically, when confidence breaks and demand accelerates, silver tends to move faster and more violently than gold. This isn't about speculation. It's about preparation. When confidence in

debt-based systems finally breaks, repricing doesn't happen slowly. It happens all at once. When prices fall, purchasing power rises. Each dollar buys more goods and services than before. On the surface, deflation looks like stability or even progress. But beneath the surface, it quietly destabilizes a debt-based system. Debt does not adjust downward easily. Prices do. In a deflationary environment, the real value of debt increases. Every obligation becomes heavier. The borrower is forced to repay loans with money that is more

valuable than the money originally borrowed. Income, however, rarely rises to match this shift. Wages are sticky. Revenues decline. Cash flows shrink. At first, borrowers try to adapt. They cut spending. They delay investment. They sell assets. They do whatever they can to stay solvent. But deflation is cumulative. As prices continue to fall, the real burden of debt keeps rising. What once looked manageable becomes oppressive. Loans that made sense under inflationary assumptions no longer work in a deflationary reality. Eventually,

repayment stops making economic sense. Defaults begin at the margins. Small borrowers, weaker companies, highly leveraged households. Over time, defaults spread. What began as isolated failures turns into a systemic problem. And when borrowers default, the debt doesn't vanish. It moves. The burden shifts from the debtor to the lender. The loan that once appeared to be a highquality asset on a bank's balance sheet suddenly becomes impaired. Interest payments stop. Principle is at risk. Capital begins to erode. Banks

don't fail because loans lose market value. They fail because loans stop paying. As capital erodess, banks tighten credit. Lending slows. Liquidity dries up. This deepens the deflationary cycle. Fewer loans mean less spending. Less spending means lower prices. Lower prices increase the real burden of debt even further. This is the deflationary debt spiral. History is filled with examples. The Great Depression wasn't just a collapse in prices. It was a collapse in credit. As defaults spread,

banks failed. As banks failed, savings disappeared. Confidence collapsed. Do like, share, comment and subscribe to this channel. Also, don't forget to hit the bell icon for more updates.
