No problem. I have many times when I have to read an article in the MSM 3-4 times to get the meaning.
Titles? The worst. Simply don’t understand where those traits were acquired.
If strictly an investment, metals do go up against stocks, however, if the stocks indicate an expanding economy, there can be an expectation of and an actual increase in demand for strategic metals.
Both can go up at the same time.
The dollar goes up and down all the time.
This is another, “It’s August first and it’s hotter than it was on January first, so global warming is real.”, story.
They pick a moment when the dollar has gone down, to address it’s weakness, but didn’t mention it had just been higher due to previous gains.
Like the weather, it fluctuates, and always does.
Exports will rise. US economy will rise. MAGA.
I don’t know if you listened to the podcast but it discusses the bind the Chinese are in trying to unload the US bonds they bought. It is fascinating how the entire world economies are now linked and how the Fed and other governments control the economy by printing fiat money and the interest rates.
“There isn’t enough gold to run the worlds economy.”
Then that just means the price of gold is artificially low. The market just needs to reach a new equilibrium point, with gold balancing out at a new, higher level.
Right you are 2harddrive, the price of gold is held artificial low to make people think that Fiat currencies have lasting value. If the value of gold was allowed to float as a percentage of total dollars in circulation, gold would be over $6,000 per ounce.
Good, this is what we need,
Drive the dollar down way down, to increase the competitiveness of our manufacturing and ease the payment of our debt.
Time to have currency manipulation of our own and beat china and others at their own game.
