GOLD IS SILENTLY REPLACING US TREASURIES AS GLOBAL COLLATERAL Something bigger than anything seen in over 50 years is unfolding in the global financial system right now. Almost nobody is talking about it. Gold is no longer just being bought by central banks. It is actively returning as the...

GOLD COLLATERAL REVOLUTION: THE ASIAN STRATEGY THAT COULD REWRITE GLOBAL FINANCE WHEN TRUST IN THE DOLLAR BREAKS Gold expert and central bank insider Gregor Gregersen knows the Asian gold market like few others in the sector. He currently serves on a central bank committee in Singapore for the new gold hub project and is involved with Hong Kong’s gold strategy. A massive realignment is underway in the gold market that most investors still miss. While Western exchanges continue to trade paper gold with massive leverage, Asia is moving physical metal and building collateral systems designed for a post-dollar world. THE CHINA GOLD BLACK HOLE ➡️ China is importing vastly more gold than official numbers show, with estimates pointing to four times the reported figures from the World Gold Council. ➡️ Purchases happen off-exchange in OTC markets, allowing massive physical accumulation without driving up the visible price on LBMA or COMEX. ➡️ Once inside China the metal rarely comes back out, creating a strategic one-way flow that has continued for 10 to 15 years. THE POWER OF TRUE COLLATERAL ➡️ Collateral is now the single most important topic in the entire gold industry. ➡️ Unlike repo transactions where banks can re-use and multiply the same gold up to 50 or 60 times, true collateral keeps full ownership with the customer. ➡️ Borrowers receive significantly lower interest rates because the physical gold serves as direct, unencumbered security for the loan. SINGAPORE AND HONG KONG BUILD THE BACKUP ➡️ Singapore is developing a major gold hub project with direct involvement from its central bank committee and recently added several tonnes to reserves. ➡️ Hong Kong is executing a clear Chinese strategy to create a controlled free-trade gold center that can function when the US dollar loses acceptance. ➡️ These hubs enable institutions and family offices to borrow against physical gold through licensed structures while keeping legal title with the owner. THE PAPER SYSTEM'S BREAKING POINT ➡️ The Western paper gold system runs on far more IOUs than actual physical metal, often 30 to 40 times the real backing. ➡️ In stress events the paper price can fall sharply as leveraged positions unwind, while physical premiums explode and metal becomes nearly impossible to source at spot. ➡️ The October silver squeeze proved how fast leasing rates can spike to 50 or even 100 percent when real supply runs dry. THE TRUST THRESHOLD ➡️ The entire dollar-based system rests on confidence alone and survives only until enough participants simply refuse to accept it anymore. ➡️ History shows reserve currencies shift roughly every 100 years when that trust finally collapses. ➡️ Nations are already preparing the alternative with physical gold stored securely and collateral systems that operate outside the old centers. THE BOTTOM LINE The West keeps multiplying paper promises while the East quietly moves the real metal and turns it into functional collateral. When the run on trust begins, only physical gold held with clear ownership and lending rights in secure jurisdictions will still work. This is how the next financial order takes shape — one collateralized ounce at a time.

GOLD DELIBERATELY CHEAPENED: THE RELOAD BEFORE THE GREAT REPRICING Economist and precious metals expert Matthew Piepenburg explained why gold feels artificially cheap right now. He walked through the forces suppressing the price from 5600 down to the 4000 zone and explained this is no random pullback. The big players are reloading while the narrative distracts retail investors. What he uncovered about central bank buying and collateral shifts will make you rethink every headline. THE RELOADING STRATEGY EXPOSED ➡️ The CME and London markets are deliberately pushing gold lower to reload their positions at cheaper prices. ➡️ Matthew Piepenburg sees this as classic bull market behavior where the big players buy the fear they create. ➡️ He warns the narrative of easy victory or quick moves is dead. Gold is reloading for the next surge. THE SECRET WHALES BUYING EVERY DIP ➡️ Central banks have stacked over 200 tons every quarter since weaponizing the dollar in 2022. ➡️ China is building physical settlement systems and moving gold east at a massive scale. ➡️ JP Morgan and major banks are quietly taking delivery and holding gold on balance sheets. ➡️ They know gold is now the superior collateral in a world drowning in paper promises. THE NARRATIVE IS A LIE ➡️ Headlines push strong dollar and positive real yields to justify the selloff. ➡️ In truth real yields are deeply negative and the dollar continues its slow loss of purchasing power. ➡️ This false story lets the smart money accumulate while retail waits for confirmation. THE COLLATERAL REVOLUTION NO ONE SEES ➡️ Gold is no longer just wealth preservation. It is becoming the backbone of global trust in rates and credit markets. ➡️ The shift from paper claims in New York and London to physical in the East is a watershed moment. ➡️ Matthew Piepenburg calls it a sea change in how the world measures value and collateral. THE BOTTOM LINE Gold is being kept artificially cheap so the largest players can reload before the real move higher. This is not fear. It is preparation. As Matthew Piepenburg stated with complete conviction, gold is going to go much, much higher over the coming years. Those who understand the math and history of debasement are buying the dip with conviction. Gold is a necessity, not a debate. The reload is happening right now.

AFRICA'S GOLD BANK JUST WENT LIVE: THE DOLLAR IS BEING CUT OUT Africa just made a quiet but seismic move. Central banks are building their own gold bank and a continent-wide payment system that deliberately bypasses the US dollar while opening a direct gold corridor straight to China. The masses still have no idea this is happening. THE AFRICAN AWAKENING ➡️ On July 20 the central banks of Egypt and Eswatini sat down to advance both PAPSS and a pan-African gold bank. ➡️ The driving force is identical to China’s: escape dollar dependence before the next sanctions hammer falls. ➡️ Russia’s frozen reserves and the deliberate dollar squeeze on Iran taught them the lesson. They are acting on it. THE PAPSS BREAKTHROUGH ➡️ Afreximbank’s Pan-African Payment and Settlement System already links banks in 28 countries. ➡️ The Central Bank of the Central African States just joined, bringing the six CFA-franc nations with it. ➡️ Transactions now clear in roughly seven seconds. Western dollar banks lose real-time visibility. ➡️ Daily settlement still runs through Afreximbank in dollars. That is exactly where gold can replace the dollar as the final settlement asset. THE GOLD BANK PLAN ➡️ On 29 December Afreximbank and the Egyptian central bank formally decided to create a pan-African gold bank. ➡️ Goal: strengthen central-bank reserves, build African refineries and trading hubs, and keep physical gold on the continent. ➡️ A gold refinery is scheduled to open in an Egyptian free-trade zone by year-end. McKinsey is writing the feasibility study right now. THE CHINA CONNECTION ➡️ China’s CIPS system has already signed partnerships with Afreximbank and other regional banks to create offshore yuan centers. ➡️ Hong Kong’s Christopher Hui is personally building gold corridors with Ghana and Laos. ➡️ A joint venture between the Hong Kong Gold Exchange and Alibaba’s AGTech is preparing a digital platform so gold can serve as collateral and tokenized payment. ➡️ The design is clear: African gold stays in African vaults under Chinese-linked oversight while settlement shifts into yuan. THE RESERVE REALITY ➡️ China imported 196 tonnes net in May and 180 tonnes in June. ➡️ Official PBOC purchases were only 10 and 15 tonnes. Analysts at Goldman Sachs estimate the real May figure closer to 50 tonnes. ➡️ Physical gold is being pulled into a new system that the West still pretends does not exist. THE BOTTOM LINE Africa is no longer waiting for permission. It is building the rails, the vaults and the corridors that let physical gold settle trade outside the dollar. The quiet reconstruction of the monetary order is already underway. The window to understand it is still open. Most people will notice only after the door has closed.

CHINA KILLS PAPER GOLD JULY 24: THE WESTERN PRICE ILLUSION DIES One month ago the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and several other giants quietly announced they would end paper gold trading for ordinary customers. The official story is consumer protection after a 30 percent drop. The system they are building tells a completely different story about who will set the price of gold from this day forward. THE OFFICIAL STORY COLLAPSES ➡️ Banks say they are shielding retail investors from extreme volatility after gold’s January peak and subsequent crash. That explanation is convenient. It is also incomplete. WHAT IS ACTUALLY DYING ➡️ Chinese citizens can still buy as much physical gold as they want. ➡️ What ends on July 24 is the paper version — contracts and claims that let people trade gold without ever taking delivery. ➡️ Sellers have long issued far more claims than bars exist because almost no one demands the metal. THE THREE-PART MACHINE TAKING OVER ➡️ The Shanghai Gold Exchange now requires physical delivery. Real metal must move from vault to vault. Price discovery becomes pure supply and demand for the actual bars. ➡️ Hong Kong opens a new international channel so the rest of the world can trade at the physically settled Shanghai price without fighting mainland capital controls. ➡️ Hong Kong is expanding gold vault capacity from roughly 200 tons to more than 2,000 tons — a tenfold surge that only makes sense if large quantities of real metal are expected to arrive. THE LONG GAME REVEALED ➡️ In 2014 the head of the Shanghai Gold Exchange stated the strategy openly in London: gold is consumed in the East but priced in the West. ➡️ Twelve years later the paper trading windows close and the vaults expand on schedule. WHAT JULY 24 ACTUALLY MARKS ➡️ China stops allowing its retail customers to trade endless paper claims and begins operating a market designed to reveal the true price of physical metal. THE BOTTOM LINE Gold has been moving east at record pace for years. China’s banks are now removing the paper layer that mediated that flow. The result will be a clearer signal of what physical gold is actually worth when the claims are stripped away. The era of paper pricing is ending. The physical signal begins. #PaperGoldEnds #ChinaGold #PhysicalGold #GoldPriceDiscovery #July24 #ShanghaiGold #VaultExpansion

🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: “CHINA IS USING GOLD TO CREATE A TRADE LOOP THAT STRENGTHENS ITS ECONOMY” Luke Gromen, Macroeconomic Strategist “China has built a system that rewards its trading partners for holding gold instead of dollars. As gold rises in yuan terms, it preserves and even grows purchasing power for their creditors, which encourages more trade in yuan. At the same time, China restricts physical gold from leaving the mainland. Gold can flow through Hong Kong or Shanghai’s free trade zone, but once it enters China, it stays there. That setup pushes global gold demand higher without depleting their reserves, while also improving domestic balance sheets for Chinese citizens and banks holding gold. It’s a strategic financial loop that boosts trade, strengthens collateral, and reduces dependence on the U.S. dollar.”

🚨 Massive Prep for Asset-Backed Currency Is Underway. The City of London Knows Something We Don’t. The City Of London isn’t just a financial district. It’s a separate jurisdiction, with its own police and financial authority, controlled by an elite global network that no government fully oversees… Every central bank, every currency and oil flow answers to them. The famous City Of London banker Lord Belgrave already warned about it months ago. Gold-Backed Money Is Replacing the Dollar Faster Than Anyone Expected! Banks and institutions are buying COMEX Gold options at $15,000 - $20,000 for December 2026. Bank of Korea just restarted GOLD purchases for the FIRST TIME since 2013, the latest nation quietly abandoning the dying greenback! Japan and South Korea, even after immense pressure from the US, started dumping dollar instead of US treasuries to save themselves. BoJ has also ramped up their gold reserves. The London Bullion Market Association was on the brink of collapse earlier due to the shortage of physical gold as compared to leveraged paper market trading. China’s central bank has stacked GOLD for 20 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS straight!! They even banned retail leveraged trading for gold countrywide. Russian and Chinese investors are flooding into U.S. tokenized markets on blockchain. China is also building a BRICS Payment system backed by Gold. The XRP Ledger RWA platform Trensik reported $1,000,000 in tokenized gold volume in a single day after China’s move. Paxos Gold on Ethereum also reported increased activity on tokenized gold. The global shift to ASSET-BACKED currencies is accelerating.

LUKE GROMEN: GOLD TO RUN THE US TRADE DEFICIT – $10K-$20K+ AHEAD? Macro strategist Luke Gromen drops a mind-bending take: the US isn't just exporting gold randomly—it's de facto settling massive trade deficits with physical gold flows. This could force gold prices way higher, paving the way for an official revaluation to tackle the debt mountain. THE GOLD EXPORT PARADOX – STRATEGY, NOT WEAKNESS ➡️ Gromen says recent US gold exports don't kill the revaluation idea—they actually make it possible. ➡️ The trade deficit is enormous and nobody else wants to keep financing it forever. ➡️ Gold flows out to settle parts of it, letting the market bid the price up naturally. HOW GOLD STARTS "RUNNING" THE DEFICIT ➡️ No paper market alone can absorb deficits this size anymore. ➡️ Gold becomes the neutral settlement asset when the price rises high enough. ➡️ "Gold is going to run the deficits... rather than the US running the deficits." THE PRICE LEVELS REQUIRED FOR THIS SHIFT ➡️ $5,000 gold is far too low to handle the volume needed. ➡️ Real settlement power requires $10,000, $15,000 or even $20,000+ gold. ➡️ "It's not going to happen at $5,000 gold. It's going to need $10,000 gold, $15,000 gold, $20,000 gold." THE REVALUATION PLAY THAT FOLLOWS ➡️ Once trade bids gold that high, the US can simply revalue its official holdings. ➡️ One accounting move marks gold to market and creates trillions instantly. ➡️ Treasury Secretary gets huge flexibility to shorten the long end of the curve and strengthen the balance sheet. CHINA'S TREASURY REDUCTION – SMART, NOT DESPERATE ➡️ Cutting Treasuries is not proof of a collapsing Chinese economy. ➡️ Desperate nations sell gold—China keeps aggressively buying it. ➡️ This looks like preparation for a stronger yuan, weaker dollar deal tied to future trade talks. THE BOTTOM LINE Luke Gromen sees America's trade deficits turning into the ultimate bullish driver for gold, quietly forcing a much higher price floor before the US rides the wave to recapitalize its books in one clean move. The old dollar-deficit era ends not with a crash, but with gold quietly taking over the burden. HT: Luke Gromen #Gold #Macro #TradeDeficit #LukeGromen #MonetaryReset #DollarSystem

🏛️ JUDY SHELTON ON GOLD-BACKED US BONDS & THE JULY 4TH SURPRISE Gold is trading near all-time highs as 2026 begins. Is this just speculative noise, or a signal of a profound monetary shift? Former Trump adviser and currency expert Judy Shelton shares her insights: GOLD’S SURGE IS A SIGNAL, NOT NOISE ➡️ Central banks are buying gold aggressively. Voters despise inflation. ➡️ Shelton quotes Alan Greenspan: “If gold is such a worthless metal, why does the U.S. government and all major governments hold so much of it?” 🔥 This reflects a deep “dissatisfaction with existing monetary arrangements” and a loss of trust in fiat. THE GOLD-BACKED BOND: A $1.2 TRILLION OPPORTUNITY ✅ Shelton passionately advocates for a U.S. Treasury-issued, 50-year gold-backed bond. ➡️ The U.S. holds 261 million ounces of gold but carries it on its books at $42/oz—a statutory price set in 1973. 💡 At market value (~$4,500/oz), that’s over $1.2 trillion in value. ✅ Issuing a bond collateralized by this gold would be an act of strength, not weakness. It would signal a commitment to sound money and fiscal responsibility. ➡️ “It would be the cheapest way for the U.S. Treasury to borrow money.” THE FORT KNOX AUDIT: RESTORING TRUST ⚠️ A major hurdle is public trust: Does the gold actually exist, unencumbered? ✅ Shelton’s solution: President Trump (potentially with Elon Musk) should publicly walk through Fort Knox and commission an official audit. ➡️ This dramatic act would validate the collateral, capture public imagination, and pave the way for the gold-backed bond. JULY 4TH, 2026: A HISTORIC DATE FOR MONETARY HISTORY? ✅ The 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence presents a perfect symbolic moment. ➡️ Shelton has publicly called for the gold-backed bond to be launched on this date. Her Wall Street Journal op-ed was “circulated at high levels.” ➡️ While she can’t guarantee it, she confirms “there are people who matter, who are aware” of the idea. THE BIGGER PICTURE: COMPETING MONETARY POWERS ➡️ The U.S. competes with China for monetary dominance. The dollar’s reserve status is key, but its foundation is shaky. ➡️ A gold-backed instrument would reinforce U.S. credibility and could set a new global benchmark, demanding similar discipline from trade partners. THE BOTTOM LINE The record gold price is a flashing warning light on the dashboard of the global monetary system. The push for a gold-backed U.S. bond is a serious, high-level idea that could redefine fiscal and monetary policy—and it might just be unveiled on America’s 250th birthday.

THE GOLD-BACKED BOND: A $1.2 TRILLION OPPORTUNITY ✅ Shelton passionately advocates for a U.S. Treasury-issued, 50-year gold-backed bond. ➡️ The U.S. holds 261 million ounces of gold but carries it on its books at $42/oz—a statutory price set in 1973. 💡 At market value (~$4,500/oz), that’s over $1.2 trillion in value. ✅ Issuing a bond collateralized by this gold would be an act of strength, not weakness. It would signal a commitment to sound money and fiscal responsibility. ➡️ “It would be the cheapest way for the U.S. Treasury to borrow money.” THE FORT KNOX AUDIT: RESTORING TRUST ⚠️ A major hurdle is public trust: Does the gold actually exist, unencumbered? ✅ Shelton’s solution: President Trump (potentially with Elon Musk) should publicly walk through Fort Knox and commission an official audit. ➡️ This dramatic act would validate the collateral, capture public imagination, and pave the way for the gold-backed bond. JULY 4TH, 2026: A HISTORIC DATE FOR MONETARY HISTORY? ✅ The 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence presents a perfect symbolic moment. ➡️ Shelton has publicly called for the gold-backed bond to be launched on this date. Her Wall Street Journal op-ed was “circulated at high levels.” ➡️ While she can’t guarantee it, she confirms “there are people who matter, who are aware” of the idea. THE BIGGER PICTURE: COMPETING MONETARY POWERS ➡️ The U.S. competes with China for monetary dominance. The dollar’s reserve status is key, but its foundation is shaky. ➡️ A gold-backed instrument would reinforce U.S. credibility and could set a new global benchmark, demanding similar discipline from trade partners. THE BOTTOM LINE The record gold price is a flashing warning light on the dashboard of the global monetary system. The push for a gold-backed U.S. bond is a serious, high-level idea that could redefine fiscal and monetary policy—and it might just be unveiled on America’s 250th birthday.

CENTRAL BANKS BUYING 15X MORE GOLD THAN THEY REPORT: THE HIDDEN SUPPLY SHOCK EXPOSED Gold expert Dimitri Speck just laid bare the single most important fact about real gold demand. While official numbers paint a quiet picture, the actual buying by central banks and state funds is running at fifteen times the reported pace. This gap is not a rounding error. It is a deliberate, large-scale accumulation that is draining physical supply far faster than any headline admits. THE OFFICIAL NUMBERS VS REALITY ➡️ The World Gold Council reported just 16 tons of central bank gold purchases for the first quarter. ➡️ Independent estimates based on London flows and reserve movements put true net buying at 244 tons. ➡️ That single quarter alone shows central banks and government funds purchasing fifteen times more gold than they publicly disclose. THE HIDDEN BUYING SYSTEM ➡️ Central banks routinely buy more gold than they ever report in their official reserve statistics. ➡️ These are quiet, often routed purchases that never appear in timely public data. ➡️ Reserves are frequently held through clearing systems or delayed in publication so the true scale stays invisible to markets and the public. WHY THE SECRECY RUNS SO DEEP ➡️ Nations are diversifying reserves without triggering political backlash or sanctions pressure. ➡️ Publishing the real numbers would instantly reveal how little confidence some governments hold in the current monetary order. ➡️ The consistent pattern proves official statistics systematically understate physical gold demand by a massive margin. THE BOTTOM LINE Official gold data is a carefully constructed illusion designed to hide the real pace of accumulation. Central banks are pulling physical metal out of the market at fifteen times the speed they admit, tightening supply while telling the world everything is normal. The charts the public sees are missing the most important buyer in the entire market.

Gold is no longer just a safe haven trade. It is actively becoming the collateral layer for global commerce. While retail investors watch daily price fluctuations, sovereign nations are securing physical gold to back trade deals for industrial equipment and energy. It is a calculated move for strategic power.

90 PERCENT PAPER GOLD: INSIDER FROM GOLDMAN AND JP MORGAN REVEALS THE REAL BACKING The Swiss Tonia Zimmermann from S spent decades structuring derivatives at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Credit Suisse before co-founding her financial platform. She just laid out exactly what paper gold really is and why the gap between paper promises and physical metal matters more than most investors realize. The numbers she shared turn conventional gold ownership on its head. What happens when everyone finally demands the real thing at once? THE PAPER GOLD EXPLAINED ➡️ Paper gold and paper silver are derivatives, mainly futures contracts that let traders buy or sell metal at a set future price without ever moving physical bars today. ➡️ These paper instruments generate daily trading volumes many times larger than the entire annual global mine production of gold or silver. ➡️ Because the paper market is so enormous, it alone drives price discovery for actual physical metal across the world. THE FRACTIONAL BACKING SHOCK ➡️ Gold accounts at banks function exactly like cash accounts and are not 100 percent backed by real metal in the vault. ➡️ Typical reserves sit between 10 and 20 percent, so for every seven ounces an investor believes they own, only about one ounce may actually exist in physical form. ➡️ Futures contracts work the same way: only a small margin is required, not the full value of the gold. THE PHYSICAL DELIVERY CRISIS ➡️ The entire system runs without issue as long as clients never actually demand physical delivery from their gold accounts or futures positions. ➡️ The moment broad physical demand hits, whether through bank accounts or major exchanges, only around 10 percent of the claimed gold is truly available in metal. ➡️ "The faster one wins," she noted, describing exactly who gets the real gold when a rush begins. THE CREDIT FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING ➡️ Our whole economy creates assets and money through credit, meaning every piece of wealth has a matching debt created somewhere else in the system. ➡️ If debts across the board must be reset or wiped, the corresponding wealth on the other side disappears at the same moment. ➡️ This credit mechanism is why paper gold can trade at such extreme multiples of real physical supply without immediate problems. THE BOTTOM LINE Paper gold creates the comfortable feeling of ownership while resting on a thin slice of actual metal and endless credit creation. The day physical demand tests the structure, the gap between promises and reality becomes impossible to ignore. Insiders have always known the difference. The rest of the market is about to find out.

EXPLAINED: BRICS LAUNCHES A GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY: THE "UNIT"📢 It's called the "Unit." This is a live prototype for an alternative to the US dollar in international trade. 🧪 What Is It? A digital currency for trade between BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). It's backed by a basket of their local currencies and physical gold. 🔧 How It Works (Simplified): Step 1: The "Basket" is Created. A "Unit Reserve Basket" holds: ➡️ 40% in physical gold (40 grams for the first test batch). ➡️ 60% in five BRICS currencies (12% each: Real, Yuan, Rupee, Ruble, Rand). Step 2: Units Are Issued. On October 31, 2025, 100 Units were created. Each Unit was worth exactly 1 gram of gold. Step 3: Value Fluctuates with the Market. The Unit's value changes daily based on the strength of the currencies in the basket vs. gold. ➡️ By December 4, the basket's value had adjusted to 98.23 grams of gold. ➡️ Therefore, 1 Unit = 0.9823g of gold. 🎯The Goal: Trade Without Dollars. Countries could use Units to settle transactions, reducing reliance on the US dollar and keeping their gold reserves within their own borders. ⚠️ Important Caveats: ➡️ This is a test pilot, not an official, adopted currency. ➡️ It was initiated by the IRIAS organization and is being pushed by certain BRICS members. ➡️ It is being closely watched by other nations, including several in Africa. 📈 Why This Matters for Gold: The "Unit" formally anchors a trade instrument to physical gold. If adoption grows, it institutionalizes gold demand on a multinational scale, reinforcing its role as a monetary asset. The Bottom Line: The BRICS "Unit" is a working prototype for a gold-referenced trade currency. While not yet official policy, its existence is a direct step toward de-dollarization and a significant bullish signal for long-term gold demand. #Gold #BRICS #DeDollarization #Unit #Currency #MonetarySystem #Macro #Finance #Investing

Keep your hands off our gold “In the rush to hoard stuff for a rainy day, there’s been scant discussion about the future of our existing mineral stockpile; the 80 tonnes of gold the Reserve Bank of Australia has sitting in vaults. The rapid surge in gold prices means the value of the RBA’s gold has doubled in Australian dollar terms over the past two years and more than tripled over the past seven years. Which makes it a great time to sell those 80 tonnes of gold for just over $18 billion of cash. The analogy extends to physical capital; what’s the point of having a gold stockpile if you never sell it?” ••••••••••••••• The AFR (no doubt acting as a proxy for Treasury) is arguing that Australia should sell its gold. This is a very dangerous thing to do. Some time in the future the U.S. dollar will stop being the world’s reserve currency and there will be reset of the monetary system. It’s highly likely that when this happens the new currency will be backed by gold. Those countries with the largest gold reserves will in the strongest financial position after reset. Gold is an appreciating asset, unlike bonds which depreciate due to inflation. That’s why central banks manipulate the gold price by artificially shorting it via paper contracts on the Comex to prevent individuals from accumulating it. Let’s not forget the U.S. outlawed the possession of gold in 1932 to prop up the paper markets. Articles like this remind us that the world’s financial system is on very shaky ground. Western government debt levels are unsustainable and the bond markets are on very shaky ground. Gold has always been insurance against reckless government spending/borrowing. Rather than sell our gold, the Australian government should be accumulating it. Any attempt by central banks to take our gold needs to be stopped stone cold dead. That includes bringing our gold back home, away from the clutches of the Bank of England.

Eric Sprott: There will be a shortage of gold. - China imported 163t of gold in May. - We mine ~3,600 and recycle ~1,400t annually. Annualized, China's May imports alone amount to roughly 2,000t... That's ~40% of annual global mine + recycled supply. And that's before considering that China produces another 400-500t annually, virtually none of which leaves the country. China isn't just buying gold...it's building a financial system around it With the introduction of interest-bearing gold accounts, accessible through online banking and paying roughly 1% in gold, China is beginning to eliminate one of gold's biggest historical disadvantages: "Gold pays no interest." At the same time, China is gradually opening international trade through gold. Trade can be settled in yuan, while surplus balances can ultimately be converted into physical gold. China is even building gold vaults abroad, allowing bullion to be stored in friendly jurisdictions rather than Western financial centers. So is basically saying use our currency and if you don't trust us change it to gold and store it locally In a world where trust is declining, China is using gold's 5,000-year monetary history to gradually increase the international role of the yuan.

GOLD PRICE SLIDES BUT SWISS GOLD DEMAND EXPLODES: NEGATIVE RATES THREAT RETURNS AS CITIZENS FLEE TO PHYSICAL GOLD Gold prices have fallen steadily for weeks after January's record peak, yet Swiss gold dealers report customers lining up in numbers not seen for a long time. People are treating the lower prices as a chance to buy rather than a reason to stay away. This surge arrives just days before the Swiss National Bank delivers its key rate decision on June 18, a move that could change what happens to savings sitting in bank accounts across the country. THE GOLD PRICE PARADOX ➡️ Gold currently costs around 108 Swiss francs per gram, with the ounce near 4,200 dollars, down slightly on easing Gulf news. ➡️ Many who bought near the top now sit on months of losses. ➡️ The drop has not scared buyers off. It has pulled them in because the metal simply costs less than it did six months ago. THE CENTRAL BANK SIGNAL ➡️ Private buyers are not acting alone. ➡️ Central banks in China, India, and Turkey have shifted large parts of their reserves from dollars into gold at a scale unseen in years. ➡️ When major states quietly move away from paper currencies they publicly defend, the action reveals more than any headline. THE ZERO RATE TRAP ➡️ The Swiss National Bank holds its key rate at zero percent, making new borrowing almost free. ➡️ Its director has stated the hurdle for negative rates is higher, yet the bank stands ready to reintroduce them if needed to fulfill its mandate. ➡️ Negative rates reverse the rules: savers pay the bank instead of earning interest on their money. THE STRONG FRANC PRESSURE ➡️ Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have lifted the Swiss franc as a classic safe-haven currency. ➡️ A stronger franc makes Swiss exports more expensive abroad, squeezing pharmaceuticals, machinery, and watches. ➡️ Negative rates become one tool to ease that pressure, but the cost lands on ordinary savers. THE GOLD ATTRACTION ➡️ At zero or negative rates, money in bank accounts slowly loses value over time. ➡️ Gold does not depend on central bank rate decisions to protect its worth. ➡️ This difference explains why many now see physical metal as the clearer store of value. THE BOTTOM LINE The rush to physical gold in Switzerland while prices fall and the June 18 National Bank decision approaches shows a quiet shift toward assets that sit outside policy control. When official rates offer little or nothing, tangible gold becomes the alternative people actually reach for. Your savings account and the gold price are now linked through the same pressures. #SwissGold #GoldDemand #NegativeRates #SNB #June18 #StrongFranc #SafeHaven

Peter Schiff: De-dollarisation means the REMONETISATION of gold, the dollar can ABSOLUTELY be replaced by it 'It was the dollar that replaced gold. Before we had the dollar as the reserve, everybody, including the United States, held gold. I don't think anybody controls gold. Where you have control is over fiat currencies. The US government, the Federal Reserve, can create as many dollars as it wants out of thin air. Gold can't be created out of thin air. There is a limit to how much gold exists and can be mined. And so gold is the most honest form of money that we have. And it takes the power away from any one government. Private investors are going to be moving out of fiat currency-denominated instruments as a means of savings, including sovereign debt. And they're going to be increasingly looking to gold as a better storehouse of value than sovereign debt.' -Peter Schiff, Host of 'The Peter Schiff Show' on the latest episode of New Order.

'Jim Rickards was talking about the fact that everything comes down to gold, which, of course, is great for India. As he said, no central bank has the gold reserves that Indian families hold privately in their homes. Surely, they will still be buying gold rather than any particular BRICS currency. But then again, the BRICS currency could somehow be tied to gold in a way that NATO nation currencies are not.'
