Here is a barometer…

As a weather forecaster I use them quite a lot. The barometer is constant, but the atmosphere around it changes (the air pressure goes up and down). The barometer just sits there and measures it.

Here’s a gold coin…

as a PM watcher, I use them quite a lot. The gold coin is constant, but the financial atmosphere around it changes (FIAT money is being constantly created). The gold coin just sits there and measures it.

 

One MASSIVE difference. The global atmosphere is on a ‘gold standard’. It’s a closed system, with no net gain/loss. This means that the atmospheric pressure can only fluctuate between a fixed low and a fixed high. The global financial climate is totally different. As long as it’s possible to manipulate our currency, with no fixed reference point, with constant money ‘creation’, there is only one limit to it’s value – ZERO.

Lets see how our gold coin ‘barometer’ is measuring FIAT money around the world…

Just look at the Japanese Yen – it looks like something massive is brewing there. New all time highs in AUD, CAD, INR. GBP close to new all time highs, and the others have all broken out of their respective basing patterns. Make no mistake – This is a global event. It’s unfolding right in front of our eyes, and the implications are profound. Gold isn’t rising. It’s just sitting there, doing what it’s always done. Global finance is under extreme stress. Banks are on the brink of collapse. FIAT monetary systems are showing signs of fundamental problems. This could end up being much worse than many are expecting.
