11.30.22- On Bonds & Gold From A Goldbug
In other words, how could I take seriously the debt of a government hopelessly in multi-trillions of dollars in debt and adding to it all the time? That is what a bond as an investment is, a call on the debt of, in this case, a supposedly high quality entity (the US government). No thank you. Read More |

11.29.22- China Moves One Step Closer to Dethroning the Dollar

And while the dollar rose less against emerging market currencies than against Europe and Japan, the thrashing was particularly brutal. Many emerging economies – like Sri Lanka, Zambia, Pakistan, Argentina, Turkey, and others – that borrow in dollars, are now on the hook to repay those loans using their local currencies of diminishing relative value.

11.24.22- And Now, for Something Entirely Different: 2 Reasons Why Social Security Is Anything but Secure
Now, the Social Security Trustees are beginning to confirm the fears we’ve expressed since 2019. In this year’s report, they summarized the main problem: Social Security and Medicare both face long-term financing shortfalls under currently scheduled benefits and financing. Costs of both programs will grow faster than gross domestic product (GDP) through the mid-2030s primarily due to the rapid aging of the U.S. population. Medicare costs will continue to grow faster than GDP through the late 2070s due to projected increases in the volume and intensity of services provided. [emphasis added] Read More |

11.22.22- 2023 Is Starting to Look Like
Analyst and investor Rick Rule spoke to Stockhead about gold’s price over the next 12 months. Importantly, the conversation was about gold’s price as measured in U.S. dollars. As I’ve been saying frequently of late, gold has outperformed in virtually every othercurrency. The yen, for example, just hit 40-year inflation levels – briefly, it’s not that the U.S. dollar is doing particularly well, it’s just failing more slowly than most other currencies right now. (It’s like the joke about the racing skydivers – they’re all going to hit the ground, some faster than others.) Read More |

There are very few movie experiences I’ve had in my life that rival the first time I watched The Hunger Games. So much of my reaction was due to where I was at the time and how, frankly, shitty my life was then. It ranks for me right up there with seeing the Death Star blow up (age 10), to being rendered speechless for an hour after watching Full Metal Jacket (age 19) to sobbing uncontrollably for 40 minutes after a midnight showing of Schindler’s List (age 25).

Following the conference, US rates and the dollar surged. Importantly, the Fed reiterated that bringing inflation down to 2% remains a top priority, triggering a sharp fall in gold after the announcement. Read More |

That’s a sad commentary on the general state of economic knowledge. In the meantime, we can at least hope that Mr. Mooney’s bill may stimulate a long overdue discussion. Read More |

09.27.22- Gold’s True Value
Having recently been pretty much the only asset in the green for the year so far, gold’s latest drop has seen it post a 7% year-to-date loss as it hit $1,675. Yet this could be one of the most deceptive periods of gold posting losses that we can think of. For starters, it’s really only posting these losses valued in s U.S. dollars, which has hit 20-year highs recently. As I’ve discussed before, these surges in the dollar’s value tend to be both brief and transitory. Read More |

When the blue line is above 1, it means the gold basis is higher, which means gold is more abundant. When the red line is below, it means gold is less scarce. Read More |

Gold is… A pretty rock that is dug out of the ground. This heavy rock has been assigned value by humans since time immemorial.

As a reminder, we are talking here about monthly changes – not so long ago, such levels were reserved only for annual inflation rates! However, this was in the past, and the present reality is inflationary. The June rise was the steepest monthly increase since September 2005, but then it was a temporary spike, while now there is a clear upward trend, as the chart below shows. Read More |

07.01.22- G-7 Sanctions On Russian Gold
When the London Bullion Market Association delisted Russian gold refiners in March, many expected the move would push gold prices higher. Instead, the gold price has fallen roughly $100/oz. Over the weekend, leaders of the G-7 nations announced formal sanctions on the import of gold from Russia. That move is expected to be largely symbolic because the LBMA and Western refiners, many of which are located in Switzerland, volunteered to ban imports shortly after the war began. Read More |

You can’t sanction gold, whether you like it or not There’s plenty to be said about the sanctions being imposed on Russia by the West. On one hand, it’s an attempt to curb an obviously catastrophic military conflict. On the other, the West itself has begun to suffer the effects of these sanctions due to Europe’s, but also the world’s reliance on Russian oil. Read More |

The world’s reserve currencies led by the US dollar are so massive that they usually move glacially. But 2022’s wild dollar action has shattered those norms, as evident in its leading benchmark US Dollar Index. Birthed way back in 1973, this USDX is now dominated by the euro at a whopping 57.6% of its weighting. Read More |

Gold Was the Number One Asset of the 1970s For as much as we struggle to compare present day to any point in U.S. history, the 1970s to early 1980s are an almost eerily accurate parallel. People on the street didn’t have a smartphone in their hands, and mail took a bit longer to arrive. But the economic conditions are here. Read More |

It's been [89] years since the federal government, on the spurious grounds of fighting the Great Depression, ordered the confiscation of all monetary gold from Americans, permitting trivial amounts for ornamental or industrial use. 
Is the $32 billion collapse of the crypto exchange FTX the catalyst for the fall of the financial system?
We’ve been reporting on the likelihood that Social Security will suffer from a series of setbacks in the 2030s for 
Silver demand is on pace to hit record levels in 2022, driven by new highs for physical investment, industrial demand, jewelry, and silverware production, according to the Silver Institute’s Interim Silver Market Review. 
As warning signs for the economy mount, investors are cheering for more bad news. That's because they expect economic weakness will force the Federal Reserve to stop raising interest rates and eventually re-embrace loose monetary policy.
I saw an analyst report from a bank that estimated what the primary silver producers would generate in free cash flow this year.
When I was a child, my mother and I would take the Long Island Railroad to Brooklyn to see relatives a few times a year. My grandfather was always outside in front of the apartment house in Park Slope, where he and my aunts and uncles lived. Upon seeing him, I would run down the sidewalk to greet him, but before I could say “Hi, Grandpa!,” he would without fail press a shiny silver dollar into my hand. 
Precious metal prices – gold, silver – and related miners have been bearish for quite some time now. It looks like that is starting to change. 
It was a busy week for markets, and a downside surprise in CPI on Thursday along with a crypto collapse, was all that was needed to propel markets higher. It will be interesting to see where crypto investors redeploy their capital. Do they keep jumping from one coin to another, or do they finally return to the more traditional safe haven currencies such as Gold and Silver? We will have to wait and see.

The mid-tier and junior gold-miners’ stocks in their sector’s sweet spot for upside potential have been clubbed like baby seals since mid-April. Massive gold-futures dumping erupted as the US dollar shot parabolic on the most-extreme hawkish Fed pivot ever, crushing gold stocks. With raging inflation also forcing costs higher, mid-tiers’ latest quarterly results reveal how they are actually faring fundamentally. 
With the USD losing influence, it would be the understatement of the year to say that we live in interesting times, for we certainly do.
The FOMC hiked rates by 75 basis points in July. However, the recession drums are getting louder, and gold likes such music.
It is becoming increasingly clear that UN Nations are realising that it is very difficult to isolate a country that is already a global power. And not just a global power in terms of the military but also in terms of the world’s dependence on its energy exports. 
This week, Your News to Know rounds up the latest top stories involving gold and the overall economy. Stories include: Mining industry veteran says gold is going to $2,000 next year, Indian silver demand hits all-time records and Chinese gold appetite climbs to five-year highs.
