Gold & Oil: Understanding Rather than Fearing Change

Gold & Oil: Understanding Rather than Fearing Change There is much legitimate (as well as dramatic) talk about the failing US, its debased currency and its identity-fractured/inflation-taxed middle-class which has been increasingly described more aptly as the working poor. The End, or Just Change? But is America coming to an end? Will the USD lose its world […]

Why Is Gold Rising Now, Where Is It Headed Tomorrow?

Why Is Gold Rising Now, Where Is It Headed Tomorrow? Needless to say, we at VON GREYERZ spend a good deal of time thinking about, well… gold. The Complex, the Simple, the Math and the History Year after year, and week after week, there is always a new way to examine gold price moves and decipher […]

The US Is Living on Borrowed Time

The US Is Living on Borrowed Time In late December, I published a final report on the themes of 2023 while looking ahead at their implications for the year to come. I repeated my claim that debt markets and debt levels made the future of Fed policies, currency moves, rate markets and gold’s endgame fairly clear to […]

More Golden (and Black-Gold) Proof: The Dollar is Totally Screwed

More Golden (and Black-Gold) Proof: The Dollar is Totally Screwed Ever since day-one of the predictably disastrous and politically myopic insanity of weaponizing the world reserve currency against a major power like Russia, we warned that the USD had reached an historical turning point of slow demise and increasing de-dollarization. We also warned that this would be […]

Hope Dies, Gold Rises

Hope Dies, Gold Rises The primary stages of grief include: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, acceptance. When it comes to grieving over the slow demise of the American economy, sovereign IOU/USD and the absolute failure of our “re-election-only-focused” policy makers, these stages of grief are easy to see yet easier to ignore. But false […]

Debt, Currency Debasement & War—The Timeless Pillars of Failure

Debt, Currency Debasement & War—The Timeless Pillars of Failure Below, we follow the breadcrumbs of simple math and bond market signals toward an oft-repeated pattern of how once-great nations become, well…not so great any more. Debt Destroys Nations Debt, once it passes the Rubicon from extreme to just plain madness, destroys nations. Just ask the former […]

Rising GDP + Rising Yields = A MAJOR Sign of “Uh-Oh”

Rising GDP + Rising Yields = A MAJOR Sign of “Uh-Oh” Have you heard the good news? The Atlanta Fed GDPNow estimates a 5.9% growth in real GDP for Q3 2023. In nominal terms, we can even boast of an 8.9% surge. What fantastic news! Growth! Productivity! This must mean we can all breath a collective sigh […]

Modern Currency Policy: Nations Compete, Citizens Suffer

Modern Currency Policy: Nations Compete, Citizens Suffer Below we consider how modern currency policy may not be so good for, well, the people… This is why gold inevitably enters the conversation, for unlike policy makers, this old pet rock garners more trust. Gold, of course, loves chaos, tanking currencies and cornered, debt-soaked nations, the numbers […]

Gold’s Climb Amidst Wisdom’s Decline

Gold’s Climb Amidst Wisdom’s Decline As the latest headlines from the FTX implosion remind us yet again of a politicized and rigged market riddled with deception, gold’s climb becomes easier to foresee. But first, a little philosophical musing… Modern Policy: High Office, Low Wisdom I have often referred to La Rochefoucauld’s maxim asserting the highest […]

Powell: A Breathing Weapon of Mass Destruction

Powell: A Breathing Weapon of Mass Destruction Below we track how the Powell Fed serves as a contemporary weapon of mass destruction. Powell’s so-called “war against inflation” will fail, but not before crushing everything from risk asset, precious metal and currency pricing to the USD. As importantly, Powell is accelerating global market shifts while sending a death […]

The Handbook for Debt-Soaked Nations: Lie, Print, Inflate & Finger-Point

The Handbook for Debt-Soaked Nations: Lie, Print, Inflate & Finger-Point Below we consider the classic (and oh-so predictable) tactics of debt-soaked nations facing a showdown (corner) between tanking markets and ripping inflation. Ultimately, I see a stagflationary end-game in which both occur, but for the near-term, prepare for more inflation, as it’s the option all debt-soaked sovereigns […]

Fear and Inflation — The Timeless Policy Tools of Discredited Systems

Fear and Inflation — The Timeless Policy Tools of Discredited Systems If you’re wondering why the media, markets and mandates are making less sense despite a constant flow of hard facts contradicting their message, it’s critical to watch what is done rather than said by the policy makers behind the fear and inflation “new normal.” The Latest Fed-Speak Translation: […]

How Long Can Lies & Control Supplant Reality & Free Markets?

How Long Can Lies & Control Supplant Reality & Free Markets? The facts of surreal yet broken (and hence increasingly controlled and desperate) financial markets are becoming harder to deny and ignore. Below, we look at the blunt evidence of control rather than the fork-tongued words of policy makers and ask a simple question: How long can […]

COVID Bailouts Have Nothing to Do With COVID

COVID Bailouts Have Nothing to Do With COVID Below, we ask a simple question: Is the war on COVID the needed pretext for even more centralized market “performance?” After all, who needs free markets when central bank liquidity determines price forces via endless COVID bailouts? The trend toward centralized controls and centralized markets was in play long […]
