City Investors Circle Mining Review 9th April 2023

 

.

Gold, and silver in particular, had a very strong week, whereas the industrial metals had a poor one, as global economic slowdown fears resurfaced (did they ever really go away?).

Gold held above the $2,000 level as banking concerns rumble on.

Owning some physical metal outside of the banking system looks a very strong bet at the moment. What is happening is that investors are withdrawing money from regional US banks, which are of the size that the governement will allow to fail and go under, and investing those funds in the ‘too large to fail banks’ that they believe the governement can’t, and won’t, allow to fail.

This is of course becoming a self fulfilling prophecy, and the larger banks are returning some of these funds back to the smaller ones to help capitalise them and prevent them from failing!

The whole banking system looks to be a shaky house of cards built on shifting sand, and one wonders how long before something significant breaks?

China announced further gold purchases in March, 18 tons may not seem a lot but they also keep all they produce, and they are the world’s biggest gold producer.

A Central Bank Digital Currency backed by gold is rumoured to be being planned by Russia and China, with the backing of the BRICS countries.
