Episode notes
This episode discusses gold hitting a record price of $4,000 per ounce, analyzing this event as a signal of significant stress and structural shifts within the global financial system. It details how economic uncertainties, such as high global debt and persistent inflation, combined with geopolitical risks and a declining confidence in fiat currencies like the US dollar, are driving central banks and institutional investors to increase their gold reserves. Furthermore, the discussion suggests that the price surge reflects gold's evolving role as a monetary anchor and a preferred collateral asset due to its lack of counterparty risk under regulations like Basel III.
