“That’s actually quite a telling little fact. For all the declines we’ve seen elsewhere in stocks, bonds and crypto, and the ensuing erosion of wealth, gold sits at its one-year average. In other words, it’s done what it’s supposed to: preserved its value, and preserved your capital. And that’s with the US dollar so strong.”
USAGOLD note: Frisby goes on to state that over the past year gold has done well when priced in a large cross-section of currencies – just not the dollar. He also cites a technical development noted previously here at USAGOLD – the long term cup and handle chart formation. He says it is “very bullish.” If it delivers the projected results, “it will give Goldman their target” – $2500 per ounce by year end.

The risk of a flip-flopping Fed
Financial Times/Mohamed El Erian/6-28-2022
“The markets are evolving their minds about US economic prospects just as the Federal Reserve has been scrambling again to catch up to developments on the ground. This risks yet another round of undue economic damage, financial volatility and greater inequality. It also increases the probability of a return to the ‘stop-go’ policymaking of the 1970s and 1980s that exacerbates growth and inflation challenges rather than addressing them.”
USAGOLD note: Another allusion to the similarities between the Richard Nixon-Arthur Burns collaboration of the 1970s and the current Biden-Powell arrangement. As Niall Ferguson put it: “I think I’ve read enough about Burns to suggest plausibly that the current Fed chair, Jay Powell, has more in common with him than with Volcker. This is unfortunate, and potentially disastrous for the US economy.”
