The costs of fighting this crisis will be with us for years

Financial Times/Michael Mackenzie/4-25-2020

graphic image of the word 'GOLD' crowned“The legacy costs of fighting the virus, coupled with the biggest global economic contraction since the 1930s, will shape financial markets for much of the 2020s. Investors are on guard against so-called debt monetisation, where central banks enable unsustainable fiscal spending. In such an environment, expect gold to benefit and currencies to suffer.”

USAGOLD note:  Mackenzie offers one of the better short discussions we have seen on what might be expected for the future in the pandemic’s aftermath.  He sees gold, as indicated above, as one of the longer-term beneficiaries.

Making sense of a stock market just 16% off its high while a pandemic costs 26 million jobs

CNBC/Michael Santoli/4-25-2020

graphic image of bull and bear“Why isn’t the stock market much lower? This question is occurring to plenty of observers right now, given the apparent contrast between economic realities and equity performance.”

USAGOLD note: A good many are asking this same question, even investors who concentrate their portfolios in common stock.  Of course, the reason is a widespread belief that massive money creation will inflate a new Wall Street bubble combined with a sense that things will be better once the pandemic hopefully passes.  But is such thinking rational at a time when the entire global economy is flipping over to a new abnormal?  Some see the recent gains as a bear market rally.

The Power of Gold Diversification
“Although it is needed in good times, it can be vital when times are difficult.”

photo of Sir Peter Tapsell speaking before Parliament

This short article begins with reference to a speech by Sir Peter Tapsell on the merits of gold ownership before the House of Commons in 1999. The occasion was Britain’s proposed sale of over half of its gold reserves at under $300 per ounce. It ends by comparing the performance of two investment portfolios from the time of that speech to present. One portfolio – the more successful of the two – included a diversification with gold; the other did not. Sir Tapsell, who passed away in 2018, lived to see his defense of gold vindicated. Though his argument before the House of Commons failed to stop the sales, it goes down as one of the most eloquent appeals ever made on the merits of gold ownership for nation-states and individuals alike.
