“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.
