Nixon, August 15th, 1971:

I have directed Secretary Connally to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold or other reserve assets, except in amounts and conditions determined to be in the interest of monetary stability and in the best interests of the United States.

Texas, May 2nd, 2023:

In establishing the digital currency under Subsection (a)(2), the comptroller shall provide a means to ensure that a person who holds the digital currency may:

1. Use the digital currency as legal tender in payment of debt; and

2. By electronic means readily transfer or assign the digital currency to another person.

The trustee shall maintain enough gold and silver specie or bullion to provide for the redemption of all units of the digital currency issued but not redeemed.

Over time, as residents of the state use both Federal Reserve notes and silver and gold coins, the fact that the coins hold their value more than Federal Reserve notes do will lead to a ‘reverse Gresham’s Law’ effect, where good money (gold and silver coins) will drive out bad money (Federal Reserve notes).

As this happens, a cascade of events can begin to occur, including the flow of real wealth toward the state’s treasury, an influx of banking business from outside of the state – as people in other states carry out their desire to bank with sound money – and an eventual outcry against the use of Federal Reserve notes for any transactions.

I guess it's because it's pretty quiet for gold at the moment.  Personally I think gold is going to sag a bit from here till the end of the month at least.  Maybe even take a big nose dive.  I might even get really contrarian and sell some...  so many people think it's got nowhere to go except up, but I think it might have run out of steam for a while.  Who knows.

You might be right. The technical picture implies it was bad to fail at $2080 (27-28th Dec 2023) and we've now run out of momentum

The most recent gold easing has been primarily due to rate expectations but there's no further drop due to be priced in soon - 97.4% have priced in no rate cuts until May

There's a lot of support above $2000/oz

There is arbitrage to China and elsewhere who are paying 4%+ over spot on physical gold. I expect gold will meander above $2000 indefinitely and spike with geopolitics, recessionary fears, banking crises, rate cuts and DXY strength. The bull run in DXY also appears to be over. I expect neutral on gold for a couple of months but the future for 2024 as a whole is bright

It's always worth considering the downside and it's possible for gold to fall 10%+ from today's price. Holding above $2000 is important and you could try to wait until gold breaks $2000 and see what happens with the price. It's not guaranteed gold breaks though. Moderate DCA and BTD perhaps. You are right though gold is not without risks and a lot of people ignore them. I've said several times gold could theoretically lose 20% to $1600 but that is the absolute bottom, more likely $1800 is the real bottom. I'm happy with that risk in the context of DCA physical but not necessarily in the context of technical analysis or paper gold

You know...this has been the second consecutive week I failed miserably in predicting the gold price at sunday night/market opening hour. 😂 To make matters worse this is the second consecutive weekend where I've made a few bullion purchases thinking I would be safe when the price shoots to da mooooon. This gold price thread is a hard game to conquer.

She's flirting with the £1600 mark again. Can she break back through that line?

After struggling all day yesterday to poke it's head above the £1600 mark, looks like it's been squashed lower again. Desperate to keep the spring coiled in my opinion

Looks like the £1600 area could be the everyday price for a while? Time below or above doesn’t seem to last very long at the moment 🤔🤔🌬️

Probably. Oscillates +/- £10 at the moment.

Obviously prefer a bigger drop that is sustained for a little while so it actually effects dealers prices!🤔😮

I've increased my potential low point to £1580 now, and have no great expectation of it staying down there for any consequential length of time, maybe not even a full trading day once everyone has paid tax and other mandatory January outgoings; 

I have both properties and a trade insurance in Jan, in addition to the 31.01.24 tax payment date, so glad I balanced the bulk of my PM's portfolio last year.
