Australian-based gold miner such as Ramelius will not feel the USD POG price shock in their balance sheet, but the stock market on Monday will tell a different story. I will be looking to add RMS, but steer clear of the likes of NEM and EVN which have large overseas exposure.

The growth in the debt ratio reinforces the position of Austrian School economists who warned that attempting to grow an economy using fiat debt creation leads to consumption not supported by an increase in productive output of the economy. Ultimately it leads to currency and economic collapse if it is continued.Persistent price inflation caused by currency debasement works against the wish to ‘stimulate’ the economy with easier debt creation that is needed even after the Fed further faked economic growth since 2008 using Quantitative Easing creating $8 trillion (T) of currency to buy assets from the market. And most industrialized country central banks emulated the Fed’s disastrous policy that was only made possible with price fixing of the gold market in London by the Bank of England.
Trump’s focus on the US trade balance masks the necessity of on-shoring production in advance of the coming BRICS unit. The US economy currently imports $4T of goods and services and exports $3.2T annually yielding a trade deficit of $800B. The US balance of payments deficit is $1.2T annually.
This continuing ‘exorbitant privilege’, as Charles de Gaulle dubbed it, has arisen because of the need (ability) to export currency to meet the trade and reserve currency needs of a growing global economy (the Triffin Dilemma). This privilege will come to an end likely in the nearer than longer term as implementation of the BRICS Unit will end the US Dollar world reserve currency status and the necessity and capacity for exporting US dollars in return for imported trade items. Importation of goods in return for fiat currency export will become very difficult outside of unified trade blocks.
Finally, some of the $12.7T of USD denominated foreign loans comprised of bank debt and loan securities sits on the balance sheets of US domiciled banks. If dollar scarcity debt defaults by foreign borrowers are triggered, US banks will not be unscathed.Between oil imports and USD debt servicing by China up to $500B annually of net-USD cashflow into China are needed in order for the Chinese economy and financial system to continue function.
A rapid net-balancing of dollar cash-flows into China can force China and other BRICS members to move toward implementation of the more stable and accessible BRICS Units for trade (and a revaluation of gold by an order of magnitude or more to allow gold to fulfil a daily trade settlement role).
China’s response last Friday of applying 34% tariffs on US goods appear to indicate that they are happy to ramp the trade conflict that can lead to a USD crisis.
These confidential sources regarding unrecorded purchases and trade flow data are important themes in our present analysis, as there is no other way to ascertain what the PBoC does behind closed doors.Central bank demand is calculated using information from three different sources. Monthly International Financial Statistics produced by the IMF serve as an initial check for central bank transactions… A second vital source is confidential information regarding unrecorded sales and purchases. The final element in calculated net central bank purchases is analysis of trade flow data.
Gold industry insiders—whether working at bullion banks, mining companies, refineries, consultancy firms, or secure logistics companies—sometimes exchange information. It’s through these interactions that estimates are conceived about the volume of secret gold buying by the Chinese central bank.Mark Bristow, chief executive of Barrick Gold, the world’s second-largest gold miner, said China had bought tonnes of gold around the high-200s mark [in Q3 2022], based on his discussions with numerous sources.

will fall below $1000 if the big banks can rig it ( so they can buy )This article from kitco.com is typical of the bs that is dragged out in times like this. gold is falling in price. It is falling because people have margin loans on stocks and there is panic. So people sell, often because they've made a profit on gold. This commentator suggests that it won't fall any further. I don't believe that. If the other markets go, then gold will fall as well. Maybe not as much, but it will fall. I've revised my next support zone for gold. $2600. Not $2800 as I posited previously. If it fails at $2600 then it's back to $2000.
