What Happens to Gold during Inflation?

“If inflation’s taken off, why in the world isn’t gold at $5,000, $6,000, $7,000 per ounce?”
— Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Founder Eric Sepanek

Because gold inflation is already a problem for the Fed, and it doesn’t want gold prices any higher than they already are.

Just compare the opening price of gold at the start of January 2020 to that of January 2021: $1,527.10/oz versus $1,943.20/oz. That’s a 27% jump.

Closing at $1,888.45/oz on May 19, 2021, the price of gold is still hovering below its 2011 high—the all-time high before gold prices hit $2,067/oz last August.[1]

Why is the Fed suppressing the price of gold?

Because central banks need to keep gold prices low, so they can keep buying gold—and central banks have bought a lot of gold.

Central bank gold holdings have soared 22% since the last financial crisis. They’ve bought gold almost as fast as they’ve printed money.

Coincidence? Not at all.

The Fed’s not just hedging against the very financial mess it created with gold; it’s keeping gold prices in check to mask America’s EVER-WEAKENING DOLLAR, explains Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Founder Eric Sepanek in the video above.

Former Treasury Secretary accuses Fed of creating ‘dangerous complacency’ in financial markets

Financial Times/James Politi/5-18-2021

cartoon showing a boat riding the rising tide“Summers said monetary and fiscal policymakers had ‘underestimated the risks, very substantially, both to financial stability as well as to conventional inflation of protracted extremely low interest rates.’”

USAGOLD note: As we remarked about a week ago, Summers is off the Democrat reservation on economic policy. With these criticisms, he ups the ante and becomes the Biden administration’s biggest critic. Leaving aside his Democrat credentials, his strident warnings are something to consider given his prior service as an economic advisor to presidents and a former Secretary of the Treasury. He foresees real damage to financial stability once the Fed is forced to abandon its current easy money policies.

Inflation psychology is being jolted back to life

BloombergOpinion/John Authers/5-17-2021

graphic image inflation ahead sign“In inflation, as in many other areas of economic life, perceptions can form reality, and that is certainly true of inflation. That is why the Federal Reserve wants to see expectations ‘well-anchored.’”

USAGOLD note: The Fed will make every attempt to control the narrative on inflation, but it cannot control what people think and how they react financially and economically to their perceptions – and that includes money managers as well as consumers. The price of gold was jolted back to life along about the time inflation psychology suffered the same fate.
