Thank you-I think that could apply in peacetime-but is it possible that denying Russia access to capital markets means that Russia relies more on gold -and thereby raising the value of gold to pay off debt would work normally butin a war situation the raising of the value of gold would help Russia -I should add I am a medic not a finance person ATB Jonno
No-one in their right minds wants a war -with all the suffering that inevitably ensues-but if Russia does invade Ukraine on any pretext -what happens to the price of gold-.I appreciate that war, with all the uncertainties , is a safe haven -but if sanctions deny Russia access to capital markets to raise money and should China use this opportunity to try to invade Taiwan -with all the gold holdings that both Russia and China has -do these holding become much more important in terms of finance to Russia and China and what can USAand Europe do to neutralize the gold value-This may be a totally irrelevant thought but it is one I had -ATB Jonno

Rock and hard place spring to mind re interest rates
1% interest rate increase adds about 23 billion pounds to U.K. debt interest(I think)/year,mortgage rates/credit card interest up and slows the economy,don’t put it up enough inflation rampant with all the implications that go with high inflation leading to very real and understandable social unrest superimposed on a society with worsening health
service ,and increasing poverty overseen by poor government and possible serious conflicts
Some very tough times ahead
Some very level headed and able people are going to be needed in charge ATB Jonno
