Liberty and Finance...

Summary

 

The global financial landscape is undergoing a significant shift, with rising interest rates, decreasing dollar holdings by China, and increasing gold purchases indicating potential crisis and a debt trap for the US government.

 

Global Shifts in Financial Landscape

  • The increase in Chinese buying of physical gold, including by the central bank, indicates a fundamental shift in the fear about the future of credit, not just interest rates or exchange rates.
  • The largest single identifiable buyer of US treasuries, the Chinese government, is reducing their dollar holdings, adding another dimension to the dollar problem.
  • It is extraordinary to this generation of investors to see Bond deals Rising, the Dollar Rising, and gold Rising all at the same time, signaling a significant shift in the financial landscape.
  • The process effectively shook out an awful lot of physical gold, leading to a crisis in the banking sector.
  • Russia has shifted to anti-western currencies and ramped up gold production in response to sanctions and the West’s actions.
  • The Chinese government holds the largest amount of US treasury debt, signaling their approach to the dollar and impacting global finance.

Impact of Government Debt and Monetary Policy

Dave Skarica: Debt Monetization & Recession is Perfect Scenario for Gold & Silver (April 30, 2024)...

The Daily Gold...

Summary

 

The potential for recession, debt monetization, and inflation create a perfect scenario for investing in gold and silver.

 

Potential impact on gold and precious metals market

 
  • Gold and precious metals are likely to lead the way out of a stock market downturn, with a potential quick recovery.
  • Monetizing the debt could lead to a significant increase in the value of gold and silver, presenting an opportunity for investors.
  • This is kind of the end game where they just pushed these debts up, indicating a perfect scenario for gold and silver.
  • “If you get a cyclical bare market you know in a real recession like I mean those two pillars. That’s what that to me is what could make gold go vertical in the next couple years.”
  • Harry Brown’s asset allocation model from the 70s included putting a fifth of your money in Gold, which has historically provided 6 to 8% returns annually.
  • Gold may see a significant increase in value, while US Treasury bonds may drop in price, making gold a more attractive investment option.
  • The 2011 gold rally lasted for 10 years, indicating the potential for a long-term upward trend in the current market cycle.
     

Economic implications of debt monetization and recession

 
  • The difference between the 70s and now lies in the dependency on asset price bubbles, which could have implications for the economy’s response to stagflation.
  • “It’s really unavoidable at this point that we’re basically going to have to monetize the debt like Japan has been doing.”
  • The potential impact of the US being almost insolvent as the reserve currency on the macro scenario is unprecedented and uncertain.
  • The monetary problems are going to get worse because the baby boomers are all retiring, setting up for a 10-year cycle of economic challenges.
  • The combination of the 70s and 2000s, along with the added factor of debt problems, creates uncertainty about the future of world Reserve currencies.
  • “They’re going to lie about inflation… It’s probably double that right and when it was up to eight it was probably 15.”
