Happy to be here. Only just getting interested in collecting shiny pretty things in the last year or so. Been following Backyard Bullion, amongst others, for a while on YT and thought I would check out on his recommendation. I hope to extend my knowledge and get some pointers. (there is only so much you can learn from USA stackers that has any barring in UK or EU) Don't think I'm in any position to share my minimal knowledge just yet though. I'll post a question on some coins shortly -

From the beginning of the monetary tightening cycle the situation has been as the CEOs of major banks understood it to be - for inflation to be truly tamed then rates had to be aggressively hiked. When inflation in the US and UK was edging 9%, the highest level in decades, our central rates should have risen to match - so rates could arguably be 8%+ in the UK and 8% in the US - Jamie Dimon was floating 8% as possibly how high the US needed to go to tame inflation There is a flip side. Raise rates to 8% during an inflationary period while wage growth is lagging far behind and what you end up with is a spate of delinquencies, people struggling to meet their obligations, having their houses foreclosed, banking crises, recessions, etc. Of course in the modern era repossessing cars or foreclosing houses is racist, heaven forbid we ask people to adhere to the agreements they signed - just cite mental health, colonialism and the patriarchy as valid reasons to break the law. We know that when banks struggle - which they would if there were mass defaults - that the central planners will magic up another few $trillion, which would require further monetary tightening down the line Ranting now, but the compromise we came up with was "higher for longer". I got moderately dissed for suggesting rates may be hiked again above 5.25% before they were cut. Rate hikes are unpopular with everybody except pension funds and anyone who lives within their means, which is nobody. My current hope/feeling is rates in the UK will stay at 5.25% until summer 2025. I'm reading constantly from the Evening Standard and several other newspapers how the BoE are making such a hash of things and need to cut rates immediately. Those are pay-to-play opinion pieces with zero grounding in economic reality. They want cuts before the elections. If the BoE cuts before the Fed cuts it would be borderline suicidal for GBP. I hope we maintain rates above the US rate for long enough for GBP to go back to where it should be trading - in the $1.35-1.50 range, not $1.2-1.3 From the POV of gold it's shrugging off any rate pauses or hikes, gold is the cool kid who has no figs left to give. Gold is confident in its value and positioning regardless of what the central manipulators tell the public or do in practice. Gold has been on the march the entire time that rates have been rising and steady at 5.25%. That's incredibly bullish for gold. If gold can make stellar progress during headwinds, when rates flip to become a tailwind then gold is going to sail off over the horizon, exit earth's atmosphere and head to the moon -
