Gold’s stagnation reflects investor fears of potential market shutdowns and price controls driven by geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties.
Geopolitical Tensions and Economic Impact
The prospect of war between Ukraine and Russia is causing inflationary pressures and volatility in the bond market, leading to a decoupling from the Fed funds rate.
Neocons are threatening China over Taiwan, causing capital to flee to the US, similar to how World War I moved financial capital from London to New York.
Financial Market Concerns
The smart money is concerned that neocons may shut down free markets before the election to influence the outcome, potentially impacting gold and silver prices.
The 10-year Treasury yield is rising sharply, primarily due to the prospect of war, despite the FED lowering interest rates by 50 basis points last month.
European Economic Crisis
Europe is facing a severe economic crisis due to the Euro and migration issues, with Germany admitting to acting like a dictator in joining the Euro without a public vote.
Potential Global Restructuring
The United States may break apart into four parts, with New England and the West Coast going one way, and the Bible Belt and the South going another.
Monetary Policy and Debt
The Federal Reserve is printing money to inflate away debt, but this Ponzi scheme will eventually collapse when new debt can’t be sold to pay off the old.
Military Strategy in the EU
The EU’s push for a national military aims to prevent in-fighting between troops from the same ethnic core, drawing lessons from historical events like the Nika Revolt in Byzantium.
