The Hydra-Headed Model Of Social Change
Gold Price Lows “Are In”
CNBC/Evelyn Cheng/5-31-2022
“The Chinese government faces a growing shortfall of cash, analysts say, as they predict an increase of debt to fill the gap. ‘The latest wave of Omicron and the widespread lockdowns in place since mid-March have resulted in a sharp contraction in government revenue, including land sales revenue,’ Ting Lu, chief China economist at Nomura, and a team said in a report last week.”
USAGOLD note: Looks like China will be resorting to the printing press. The strong appetite for gold in China is likely to become even stronger as a result. The question is to what degree China will be able to supply goods to the world economy while in a major lockdown. Economists (and central bankers) are likely to read more global price inflation in this development due to supply-side constraints.

Ukraine: a new narrative as Europe unravels?
Blain’s Morning Porridge/Bill Blain/5-30-2022
“All they [central banks] can do now is go with the flow and try to moderate the effects of the inflation tsunami: higher raw material and commodity prices, higher transport costs, higher energy costs, higher producer prices and, coming soon, rising social unrest and strikes as pay demands heat up. Worse is yet to come.”
USAGOLD note: Blain breaks down how Europe shapes up now as the pendulum, as he sees it, now swinging to Moscow. “In short,” he concludes, “June is looking… troubling.” Details at the link.
