Top of Mind:
Don’t Call it a Revaluation. Call it a repricing
Gold is going up. It is being repriced, The G7 knows it and the BRICS knows it. The Bullion banks know it, and the global leaders know it. They have said so by accident in recent reports. Smaller EU CBs have also stated this. Countries are targeting gold reserves as a percent of GDP The world is working on a controlled take down of US Unipolarity and replacing it with a monetary multipolarity. Behavior tells us this.
The controlled rally, the slam when it gets ahead of itself. The algo behaviorally showing up on buy side for weeks at a time. The west completely ignores hoarding of gold buy China. Their deafening lack of response to BRICS leaders openly challenging US hegemonic dominance was also notable. Does the US have a plan to keep as much of its power as possible? Yes.
It entails slowing the process as much as the ROW permits us, as we get prepared for a different global playing field. It means using our financial power more than ever before, if only to keep things in place a little while longer.
Lying about employment, Oil, Gold, and our commitment to freedom and democracy. It means keeping things together long enough to make sure when a new global economy is launched, we don’t fall too far behind.
And if push comes to shove, those in power will have their own lifeboats as the mothership sinks. You should get yours.
