positive interest rates and gold market manipulation
Then your statement is nonsensical.
Won’t the gold market manipulation continue with the new Yuan and won’t it effect its value?
Anybody that worries about the value of the dollar or any other currency knows nothing about investing and how to safeguard the worth of their assets.
It’s really quite simple - DIVERSIFY. Own lots of different assets (including some dollars, some gold, some RE, some stocks, some bonds, some foreign currencies), and rebalance periodically.
Anyone who insists that a particular currency ($ or gold, or whatever) must always buy the same amount of goods is a fool.
