Why are China and Russia still buying bullion?


Recommended Posts

What do Chinese and Russian authorities know about gold that no one else seems to? IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor caught up with Simon Popple from the Brookfield Capital Intelligence report who says that ‘paper’ gold has yet to catch up.

If and when the paper price reflects the demand in bullion, we may be in the sort of pricing that the markets saw in the 1970s.

GOLD, GOLD, GOLD!!!

Russia and China have been collecting lots of physical gold for a long time.

QE ( EXCESSIVE MONEY PRINTING) destroys the purchasing value of money, and could have caused hyperinflation but it did not. This was, i believe, because of the cheap Chinese products imported that kept prices low or lower. And that commodities then were going down in prices, overall until2021 bottom.

However, IT IS NOT THAT WE DID NOT HAVE HYPERINFLATION. WE DID AND STILL DO. This is in the form of BUBBLE MARKETS (BUBBLE EVERYTHING) THAT EXISTS NOW. Once the bubble burst then other dynamics will play out. Inflation does not measure many things.

Basically, the FED, along with most other central banks ( who use the same misguided practice they have been preached )have made a mess of their economy ( not all ) and the purchasing power of the currency value ( in local value). Central banks have failed to recognise the true factors that if consciously known would handle or improve the economy. MANY TIMES THEY HAVE FAILED, AND THEN GIVEN "SOLUTIONS" THAT DID NOT REALLY RESOLVE  THE DANGEROUS CONDITION.

The economy, when it is working, does so BECAUSE OF MARKET FORCES , NOT BECAUSE OF THE CENTRAL BANKERS ACTIONS.

The key focus on a 2% inflation target they have seems arbitrary. In a genuinely expanding economy you will have, naturally, inflation to move the expansion forward.  YOU ALSO, PRIMARILY, NEED TO HAVE INDUSTRY GROWING ORGANICALLY AND INVESTING IN THEIR BUSINESSES, which in our climate has not been there by many companies. Over indebtedness has hampered their ability in any meaningful and constant expansion. 

THERE ARE A LOT OF ARBITUARIES THAT ARE USED, BIG BUZZ WORDS USED IN A GLIB FASHION THEN WHEN THINGS GO WRONG --- WHY IT IS ALL A BIG SUPPRISE.

IT is at times like this that their THEORY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED TO LOCATE INCORRECT OR FLAWED DATA WITHIN IT, AND NOT CARRY ON USING THE FLAWED THEORY. But human behaviour being what it is, PEOPLE CLING ON TO THEIR TREASURED BELIEFS IN THE FACE OF BEING MADE WRONG. THIS IS A SIMILAR PSYCHOLOGICAL BEHAVIOUR AS IN THE SHARE MARKETS  -- MARKET CRASHES BIG TIME, PEOPLE HOLD ON, HOPING AND HOPING, AND THINGING --- NO, IT WILL COME BACK UP, BUY THE DIPS!!

THE ADAGE "GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT APPLIED IN ANY DISCIPLINE. SO WHAT IS THE "GARBAGE" HERE?

NO DEGREE OF STATUS MAKES YOU ANY WISER.

P.S.  on GOLD ARTICLE!

MONEY IS AN EXCHANGE SYSTEM BACKED BY CONFIDENCE. THAT CONFIDENCE USE TO BE BACKED BY GOLD, WHICH KEPT THE PURCHASING VALUE OF THE CURRENCY RELATIVELY STABLE  --- UNLIKE NOW, WHERE WE HAVE OUTLAWED THE THE GOLD STANDARD THANKS TO THE MISS-GUIDED OF ADVICE OF BANKERS. 

CONFIDENCE CANNOT BE BACKED BY ANY PR FOR THAT IS TOTALLY ARBITUARY AND CAN BE UNRELIABLE.

THIS IS WHY RUSSIA AND CHINA HAVE ACCUMULATED GOLD.  THE WESTERN COUNTRIES CENTRAL BANKS AGREED TO GET RID OF THEIRS OR REDUCE THEIR STOCK PILE. BUT THE SILLY THING IS THEY HAVE OFTEN SOLD IT OFF AT THE LOWER PART OF THE GOLD PRICE CYCLE!!!!!

HOW SILLY IS THAT????  AND COSTLY!

    • Hi @KoketsoIG, Thanks for investigating margin requirements in another thread. Could you kindly check with the relevant team what overnight credit (column swap bid in platform watchlists) was applied for short USD/TRY positions at the end of the trading day on Thu, March 14? WBR
    • Corn Elliott wave analysis   Function - Trend  Mode - Impulsive  Structure - Impulse Wave  Position - Wave 2 in progress Direction - Upwards for wave 3 Details -  A break below 434 means wave 2 is taking a lower leg for an expanding flat and could enter 423-415. Not much has changed since the last update.   In the intricate world of commodities trading, particularly in the realm of corn prices, the Elliott wave theory offers a compelling lens through which we can analyze recent movements and anticipate future trends. As of the time of crafting this analysis, corn prices have embarked on a retracement journey following a notable surge of over 12% witnessed between the dates of 26 February 2024 and 12 March 2024. Presently hovering below the $430 mark, indications suggest a continuation of this pullback trajectory, potentially dipping below the $420 threshold. However, amidst this temporary setback, glimmers of optimism emerge from the shadows, hinting at a forthcoming resurgence echoing the momentum initiated on 26 February, when prices bottomed out at $394.   To fully grasp the potential trajectory of corn prices, let's delve into the historical context provided by the Elliott wave theory. In April 2022, corn traded at a robust $814, albeit falling slightly shy of its peak in 2012 at $846. From this pinnacle, the price embarked on a tumultuous descent, plummeting to $394—a staggering 52% decline within approximately 22 months. Within this tumultuous period, the market completed three distinct swings, painting a picture of either an impulse or a simple A-B-C pattern.   Should the former scenario hold, the completion of the third wave suggest a forthcoming minor bullish correction, potentially manifesting as the fourth wave. Conversely, in the latter scenario, a bullish correction remains probable, if not an outright impulse upside. In either case, the prevailing sentiment leans towards a bullish reaction, with the path of least resistance indicating at least a three-wave bounce. This sentiment gains traction with the inception of sub-waves within the broader blue wave A, emanating from the $394 low.   Zooming into the H4 timeframe, we discern the intricate dance of waves unfolding before our eyes. The completion of wave 1 within the blue A wave sets the stage for the ongoing progression of wave 2, poised to carve its path within the 424-413 zone before pivoting upwards for wave 3. Uncertainties loom, as we await confirmation of wave 3's commencement, signaled by the breach of the $445 pinnacle.   In this tapestry of market dynamics, opportunities abound for astute traders poised to capitalize on the unfolding patterns. With the potential for blue wave A to ascend to lofty heights of $500, buying the dips will be the way to go. As we navigate the ebbs and flows of corn prices through the lens of Elliott wave analysis, we stand primed to seize the opportunities that lie ahead, armed with insights gleaned from a meticulous examination of market dynamics.     Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com
