RE: Inflation and the gold price1 Mar 2021 17:10
The only person to listen to on these topics is Jeffrey Snider
Gold is a hedge against out of control currency, be that inflation or deflation
You can look at gold from the 1980s onwards until mid 2000s vs something like house prices to see it's a awful AWFUL play just on general inflation
When did gold really take off? the financial crisis post 2008 because the eurodollar system broke and we have been in a deflationary period ever since, we have short periods where it looks like things are getting better but nope, we were headed into a recession in 2020 covid or no
If the federal reserve and governments really controlled money and interest rates like it the believed narrative why haven't they been able to fix things since the financial crisis?
If central banks are central how can there be such a clusterf*** like March 2020?
The more central banks and governments have to do the more you should be thinking gold will do well because the more the monetary system is broken
To answer more succinctly: gold inverses bond yields
