Deep dives

The Economic Plan and Gold Rush

The current economic situation involves a significant rush towards gold, highlighted by uncharacteristic behavior in the gold market where physical gold is being acquired at an unprecedented rate. Central banks, particularly China, have been accumulating gold, seeing it as a stabilizing factor in times of monetary disorder. The U.S. appears to be experiencing a similar trend, with reports suggesting that a major buyer may be either the U.S. Treasury or the Federal Reserve, indicating preparations for a possible gold audit. This rising demand for physical gold suggests a critical shift in the economic strategies being prepared behind the scenes.
