When senile Joe weaponized the dollar, he destroyed all trust in it. President Trump knows this, is doing the best he can to restore the dollar, but it may be too late....stay tuned, Trump does have some upcoming surprises....and it involves Gold.

20-Year Bonds: A $13 billion auction on January 21, 2026, saw “well above average demand”.

Fine and dandy, but once they get back there they will be buying tons more Gold and Silver, not Rupees, and definitely not dollars or US debt instruments.

Incidentally, Gold and Silver hit historic all time highs, Silver now $103 and Gold $4988...as forecasted, this Bull run is just starting.

Did you read your article?

“overseas ownership of Treasuries remains close to record highs”

Can we assume you are buying gold and silver?

AI:
“The yield on 10-year Treasury bonds has recently declined, reflecting investor concerns about economic growth and inflation. This trend indicates a cautious outlook as the Federal Reserve considers its monetary policy in response to these economic factors.....Short-term U.S. bonds have seen declines in yields”.

And most important:

Overview of Central Bank Gold Buying

Central banks are increasingly purchasing gold as part of their reserve management strategies. This trend reflects a shift towards diversifying reserves away from dollar-denominated assets.

Recent Trends in Gold Purchases
In November 2025, central banks bought a net total of 45 tonnes of gold.
Year-to-date purchases reached 297 tonnes, indicating strong demand, particularly from emerging markets.
The National Bank of Poland was the largest buyer, acquiring 12 tonnes in November, bringing its total to 95 tonnes for the year....”

I will add, another historic first: five Central Banks are now adding Silver to their holdings.

Hi Ho Silver!

MSM has done very, very little reporting on this generational Bull. They prefer paper, electrons and thin air.

President Trump has set his course with Field Marshal Asim Munir of Pakistan the guy who really runs that country.

It’s to help Benjamin Netanyahu surround and crush Iran with China next to be opposed.

Gold bugs are in a frothing frenzy right now.

Soon they will become aware they are but a small portion of the capital stock. And depending how much they acquired, and when, it might really hurt.

US dollar plunges to 1/100th oz silver.....unfortunately under President Trumps watch. But do remember, the world’s largest financial meltdown in history happened during his last term.....He had no control over the Covid shutdowns and panic.

Huh?

AI:

“Gold is currently the most valuable asset in the world by market capitalization, with a value of approximately $33.116 trillion. Silver follows as the second most valuable asset, with a market cap of around $5.315 trillion.

Silver displaced Nividia, Amazon etc last week to now become number two in the worlds market cap.

That refers to US market capitalization. ETF’s and such.

Not the global capital stock of which gold is approx 1% of $266 trillion.
