Geopolitics Of Twitter Meltdowns And Trade Wars In The Nuclear Age: ZeroHedge - "In Gold We Trust": Waning Confidence In US Sends World's Central Banks On Buying Spree.




ZeroHedge is diving deep into the story about World's Central Banks gold buying spree in the last few years and provides a lot of data which is painting the picture of the growing distrust in the stability of US Dollar and of the financial institutions in the West. Serious people are buying gold. The most important for us at this particular juncture is that it is not conspiracy theories anymore and not only Gold Bugs are doing it. Demand for gold from Central Banks is the highest since Nixon closed the gold window. Actually, we can see the accelerating pace of gold accumulation starting right after the Great Recession in 2008.




Recent examples of the solid geopolitical policy conducted on Twitter sitting next to the Red Button have brought the new dimension to the very old question: can the wars be really contained even if "they are the only trade ones" during the nuclear age? 





We have already discussed that "Growth solves a lot of problems" - but what to do when it is not here anymore? The US Dollar will be the first victim of the brave scientific experiment with Trade Wars which are assaulting the common sense and perceived economic logic - we can finally see that the FED Summer Party is here.




The most important outcome so far is that Gold has reinstated its status of the solid value in the uncertain times. Black Holes of digitalised fraud are sucking all the positive energy from Crypto Universe and, finally, gold is behaving like it is supposed to do. Central Banks are frontrunning brave libertarians who are stuck on the blockchains and learning Austrian Economics on Twitter.




Now it will be important that the coming correction will be above the Golden Cross made in January 2019 and that the gold buying signal in December 2018 will be intact.




Next phase for all junior mining companies which are involved in the precious metals will be very interesting as they are coming out of the longest and deepest bear market on record. 




Coming hangover into the "smoking sector" will bring back on Earth what is left out of investors challenging the new dimensions and maybe we will have another catalyst for the gold sector. Now it is not only us buying gold, but Central Banks are leading the way.




We have discussed in depth the McKinsey's Gold Reserves crisis and you can find this analysis below. According to McKinsey: "Reserves by major Gold companies have declined 26% from 2012 and now below 2007 levels." M&A will be only part of the solution for some companies as it only redistributes the same Gold reserves, we need new discoveries and new elephant projects coming online just to address the gap between growing demand and available supply.




Barrick Gold is developing together with NovaGold 40MOZ giant Donlin Gold in Alaska - "arguably the most important Gold project in the world." So where will you be looking for the new elephants? Maybe in the Alaskan Elephant Country. 




Barrick Gold received crucial permits to advance Donlin Gold now and this new developing mining district in the US can make the promise of "Gold In the USA" providing stable supply feasible again and it can become that solution to "The Gold Mining Reserve Crisis" McKinsey is talking about:
"The Company's strategy with the Shotgun Gold Project is to attract a partnership with one of the major gold mining companies. TNR Gold ("TNR") is actively introducing the project to interested parties," commented Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman of TNR. "We may be at the beginning of a great discovery. There is a clear path on how to move this project forward using the geological and geophysical research currently available to target drilling to expand the resource and form the basis of a preliminary economic analysis. The next step is to acquire a partner that shares our vision and recognizes the growth potential and value to be added to the Shotgun project over time."

Gold In The Alaskan Elephant Country. McKinsey: Can The Gold Industry Return To The Golden Age? It’s Time To Dig For A Solution To The Gold Mining Reserve Crisis.



Gold loves FED in the election cycle. "Growth solves a lot of problems", according to Larry Kudlow, but what to do when there is no growth anymore? Statutory limitations are making the question to be or not to be elected rhetorical and the only unknown now is what will be the price for the world to pay for the privilege. Among not so many options, throwing US Dollar under the bus seems to be the least unpatriotic compared to many bad choices tried last time. At least it is not a new war.



The majority of voters are not flying to St. Barts for the weekend and they will hardly notice any changes in FED's "Strong Dollar Policy from 1913". They will not be hit with afterparty checks presented in euro. The young libertarians will continue to study Austrian economics on Twitter and play "revolution" with the myriad of sh$tcoins, so weaker dollar will not propel Gold to $10,000 any time soon, which can become uncomfortably disturbing for the lost MMT academics.



And, what is the most important, this is all not a theory anymore and the same Larry Kudlow is calling now for FED to cut 50 basis points. Nobody knows the future, but the weaker dollar and negative real rates, like they are already in Europe, will normally move Gold price higher. Central banks are buying Gold at the highest rate since Nixon closed the Gold window and frontrunning all brave libertarians who are still experimenting with their money being tortured by elliptic-curve cryptography, decentralised, distributed from them and centralised again by the super smart shadow characters on the WEB.



In this perfect picture for the next few years: when we will be promised to see the uninterrupted bull markets supported by the strongest economy, which will be pumped by the fearless FED - we have only one missing piece, according to naughty McKinsey. They have managed to find The Gold Mining Reserve Crisis.




Even sh$tcoins prophets know that supply and demand still matter and only happy hodlers can help them to distribute all hard earned founder coins to the freedom-hungry public who is still hiding on facebook from the Big Brother. Gold market manipulation will work only to a certain extent, rising demand for Gold will require more supply in order to make the increase in Gold price manageable for all organised interested parties involved.




And here we have a problem now, according to McKinsey: "Reserves by major Gold companies have declined 26% from 2012 and now below 2007 levels." M&A will be only part of the solution for some companies as it only redistributes the same Gold reserves, we need new discoveries and new elephant projects coming online just to address the gap between growing demand and available supply.




These two major trends are colliding and pushing the gold price to resume its bullish ascend: weaker dollar which is desired now in order to keep growth intact and keep debt crisis manageable; and available Gold reserves just to keep annual production enough for feeding the increased demand without Gold hitting the headlines every week.

"In Gold We Trust": Waning Confidence In US Sends World's Central Banks On Buying Spree

"Governments around the world have recently been on a “gold-buying spree.” These countries have a tactful reason for doing so, and this reason is directly tied to the anticipation of the inevitable end of US hegemony. 

Central banks are among the largest purchasers of gold. So far in 2019, they have bought 145.5 tons of gold, which is more, in a quarter of a year, than central banks have purchased in the preceding six years. To put it bluntly, this figure represents a 68 percent increase from the year before. Last year, central banks increased their reserves by 651.5 tonnes compared to 375 tonnes in 2017. Reportedly, this is the largest net purchase of gold since 1967.


Most interesting, however, is the class of countries that we find are turning to hoarding more and more gold, many of which are deemed to be adversaries of Washington. 

As always, Russia is the largest buyer of gold. In 2018, Russia’s Central Bank purchased 274.3 tons of gold. It also dumped 84 percent of its US treasury debts (we will come back to why this is important later.) 
Turkey, another country which has signalled a shift away from the US-EU alliance and a greater willingness to cooperate with US economic and military rivals such as Russia, China, and even Iran, has sold off around 38 percent of its US debt and purchased more and more gold. 

Other notable nations increasing their gold supply include Kazakhstan, Ecuador, Qatar, Serbia and Colombia, according to recent statistics. Even the Philippines has joined the gold-bandwagon, increasing its gold holdings in foreign reserves, as well as passing gold-specific legislation to assist small-scale miners in the country."
