JD400 that's Right; We are beginning, perhaps, to see this reflected in rising prices for gold and silver.
China has effectively cornered the market for physical gold, the only sound money of the market that over millennia has survived all attempts by governments to replace it.
Her central planners appear to have long been aware of the West’s Achilles’ heel in its monetary affairs, and have merely been playing along to China’s own advantage.
As the dollar weakens in the coming years, her wisdom in securing for herself and her citizens the one form of money that’s no one else’s liability will ensure her survival in increasingly turbulent times.
Note .... The gold bull market in the 1970s and 1980s happened even as the Fed tested record-high interest rates. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond rallied sharply during the late 1970s, eventually topping 15% in 1981. Gold rallied from about $100 per ounce in 1976 to over $850 per ounce in 1980.
