There's no end in sight to the banking crisis as regional banks fall like dominos. Silicon Valley Bank was the first to go, and First Republic and PacWest quickly followed. Overall, the banking sector is reeling from record-low deposits as investors lose faith in the credibility of these institutions. Many investors simply transition their deposits to larger banks such as JPMorgan or Bank of American, but the weakness of the sector is going to hit even the biggest names sooner or later. The regional banks just happen to fall first because of their smaller sizes. However, no bank is safe from a loss of confidence among the American people. Smart money has been actively seeking out hard assets in lieu of traditional investments as mainstream markets struggle. In fact, the demand for gold and silver has been straining supplies. Traditional institutions don’t have the stability to withstand rising stubborn inflation, a looming banking collapse, and the acceleration of de-dollarization. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metals Advisors Joe Elkjer & Todd Graf explain the regional banking disaster, why the entire sector could be doomed, and where investors are seeking financial shelter.

April's CPI numbers showed inflation slowing down which is welcomed news. However, there's more than meets the eye in these monthly reports. The average American is still suffering from price increases in food, oil, and energy which are conveniently left out of CPI analysis. It's a timeless story: the people are paying for the government's mismanagement. Between the ongoing banking crisis , the process of de-dollarization , and the expiration of #Title42 , the Biden admin is pumping an enormous amount of free money into the economy. It’s no wonder investors are fleeing from the banking system and traditional assets in favor of hard assets. Physical gold silver and other precious metals are being sought out for their inflation hedge and price stability. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Founder Eric Sepanek & Precious Metals Advisors John Karow discuss what the CPI report really means, where investors are shifting, and how the government taxes you secretly.

Gold and silver demand are skyrocketing as central banks, major institutions, and retail investors seek shelter from the economic storm that's been brewing for years. Just this week, the banking crisis claimed another victim as First Republic Bank collapsed. Not long after, PacWest (and now Western Alliance, Arizona-based bank) saw its shares slashed after troubles were revealed. While banking conditions worsen the precious metals market suffers from surging gold and silver demand. Local precious metals dealers and global exchanges are struggling to keep up. Producers are pumping the brakes on creating new products while spot gold and silver prices remain low. All it would take is a single economic emergency to dry out reserves completely. The economy is getting hit from multiple angles, but de-dollarization is the biggest threat right now. The dollar’s position as the world reserve currency is under assault. This lack of confidence in the #dollar is driving investors across the globe away from traditional assets and into hard assets such as gold bullion and silver bullion. Adding to the chaos, major players are keeping the gold prices and silver prices artificially low through continuous selling. However, the severe lack of supply will eventually force these institutions to buy back the shorts. This is bullish news for gold and silver prices. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Sr Advisor Steve Rand & Precious Metals Advisor Tim Murphy explain the supply gold and silver shortage and how it could lead to a gold and silvers queeze . 🔗 RELATED LINKS: 👉 Read more here – Silver Shortage 2023?

In this week's The Gold Spot Overtime, Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Founder Eric Sepanek, unveils an iconic #rarecoin (which happens to be his favorite) - the 1795 Draped Bust Dollar. This true artifact of US history was minted within just two decades of the founding of the United States. This particular version boasts a stunning light blush rose toning which is owed to its impressive condition and age. On top of that, our #DrapedBustDollar holds a Mint State 61 (MS 61) grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Company #NGC - the only coin of its kind to hold that grade. The 1795 Draped Bust Dollar was the second #silverdollar ever minted by the US, following the Flowing Hair Dollar. The design was intended to improve the appearance and aesthetics of American coinage. The obverse of the coin features a bust of a young woman with flowing hair with the word LIBERTY and 15 stars representing each of the states in the union at the time. On the reverse, the Draped Bust Dollar has a unique design of an eagle with its wings spread. Also known as the off-center Draped Bust Dollar, this coin represents the first of two die combinations. The #USMint decided to replace it with a more aesthetically pleasing design with the bust closer to the center of the coin. Although the precise number of surviving 1795 Draped Bust Dollars is unknown due to poor record-keeping, there are only four versions graded higher than this one. The highest-rated version is worth over $1 million! Fortunately, you don’t have to spend that much to invest in a true artifact of American history. Find out how much this iconic coin is worth and how you can add it to your #preciousmetals portfolio by watching this week’s The Gold Spot Overtime.

It's well-established that governments, banks, and investors are binging on gold, but it's not the only precious metal shattering records. A recent report from the Silver Institute reveals shocking numbers surrounding the global supply and demand of silver. For the past two years, silver demand has outpaced available supplies leading to higher premiums and more expensive products such as silver bars, #silver coins, and other bullion items. This unprecedented demand comes after 11 years of surplus supply. The staggering increase in demand is caused by two primary factors. First and foremost, investors are turning to #silver and gold to hedge against inflation and other economic pressures. On top of that, the industrial need for silver heightens as electric cars and solar panels are manufactured in increasing numbers. The disparity between skyrocketing demand and stagnant supply is only supposed to worsen in the near future as the economic situation drops to new lows. Although it's tempting to wait until gold and silver prices are lower to buy in, silver prices are impossible to time correctly. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Precious Metals Advisors Todd Graf & Tim Murphy explain the silver supply and demand imbalance, how it's impacting silver prices, and how investors should respond. 🔗 RELATED LINKS: 👉 Read more here – Silver Shortage 2023?

De-dollarization is no longer an alarming potential. It’s a harsh reality unfolding right in front of us. Seemingly every day, another major news story confirms everyone’s worst fear: Countries around the world are abandoning the US dollar en masse. We’ve been tracking this process since 2013 and have warned investors at every step of the way. Recently, we decided to compile the most important events in a Petrodollar Timeline Report to provide a comprehensive overview of de-dollarization. This timeline covers everything from the Gold Confiscation Act of 1933 and the Bretton Woods Agreement to the most recent developments of China’s growing influence in the Middle East and the rise of the Petroyuan. The report makes it easy to understand the complex processes and events leading to the weakening of USD. We’ve provided sources for every piece of information on the timeline, so you can do your own research beyond what’s provided. As countries move away from the dollar, they’re investing heavily in gold. Central banks have been stacking up gold at record rates to hedge against inflation and reduce their dependency on the dollar. Smart money investors are taking a play out of the book of the largest banking institutions in the world by transitioning from paper-backed assets in favor of gold and silver and other hard assets. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metals Advisors John Karow & Founder Eric Sepanek explain the benefits of the Petrodollar Timeline Report and how it can help you protect your wealth. 🔗 Related Links: 👉 Check out The Petrodollar Timeline Report here: https://www.sbcgold.com/de-dollarization-timeline/?utm_source=rumble&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=gold_spot_rmbl

It’s the final call for 2022 IRA contributions! Investors only have a few days left to top up their nest eggs before the 2022 tax deadline. We’ve been seeing a massive influx of clients eager to move their wealth away from banks and paper-backed retirement plans into hard assets such as gold and silver . From OPEC countries decoupling from the dollar and BRICS nations expanding to a domestic banking crisis and beyond, a litany of economic pressures has forced investors into hard assets. Many people have opted to convert their retirement plans to a precious metals IRA where they get the same tax advantages of a standard retirement account with the ability to diversify with physical precious metals. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Sr. Precious Metals Advisor Steve Rand & IRA Liaison Michelle Ellis explain the upcoming tax deadline, IRA contribution limits, and how you can convert old retirement plans to gold and silver. 🔗 RELATED LINKS: 🪺 How to Make an Annual Contribution to Your Precious Metals IRA - 3 Easy Steps: https://www.sbcgold.com/precious-metals-ira/gold-ira-contribution/ 🪺 Precious Metals IRA Guide: https://www.sbcgold.com/precious-metals-ira/ 🪺 How a Precious Metals IRA Works: https://www.sbcgold.com/precious-metals-ira/how-a-precious-metal-ira-works/ 📈 See live Gold and Silver Spot Prices: https://www.sbcgold.com/charts/ 🪙 Buy gold and silver coins in Arizona: https://www.sbcgold.com/buy-gold-and-silver/coins/ 👉 Buy Gold Bars in Arizona: https://www.sbcgold.com/buy-gold-and-silver/buy-gold-bars/ 👉 Buy Silver Bars in Arizona: https://www.sbcgold.com/buy-gold-and-silver/buy-silver-bars/

A few decades ago, the world decided to embark on the largest monetary experiment by abandoning the gold standard and ushering in an era of fiat-backed economies. Up until recently, the US economy performed superbly in this new structure with the dollar’s position as the world reserve currency. However, the time of dollar dominance is coming to a screeching halt as the trend of de-dollarization is in full swing. Countries around the world are eagerly decoupling and disassociating their economies from the dollar. The trend of de-dollarization has been in motion for years, but the US banking crisis drastically accelerated it. Our failed economic policies at home are largely to blame as countries start to view the green back as a risk rather than an economic boost. This failure is only exacerbated by China’s proactive efforts to fill the void the US has left on the world stage. By brokering historic peace deals in the Middle East and offering financial support to various countries, the CCP has been able to further its economic interests. Just a week ago, China made its first purchase of liquid natural gas in its domestic currency, beckoning the Petroyuan. In poetic fashion, it’s the abject failures of the fiat experiment that are forcing people back into the protection of gold, silver, and other hard assets. All the new surrounding de-dollarization was the all-clear signal gold prices needed to bust out of a 15-year holding pattern. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metals Advisor Joe Elkjer & Sr. Precious Metals Advisor Damian White discuss the accelerating de-dollarization process, what happens if the dollar collapses, and where this leaves investors. 👉 Related Links: 🛢️ READ MORE: https://www.sbcgold.com/blog/de-dollarization-rapidly-accelerates/ 📰 Related News: 🔗 China’s Attack on Petrodollar Dominance Reaches New Height: https://www.sbcgold.com/blog/chinas-attack-on-petrodollar-dominance-reaches-new-height/ 🔗 Saudi Arabia and Iran Agree to Restore Ties, in Talks Hosted by China: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-iran-reestablish-ties.html 🔗 Brazil, China Strike Trade Deal Agreement To Ditch US Dollar: https://www.barrons.com/news/china-brazil-strike-deal-to-ditch-dollar-for-trade-8ed4e799

If crumbling domestic markets weren’t enough to worry investors, China’s outright attack on the US economy should do the trick. Earlier this week, Xi Jinping further solidified China’s dominance on the global stage by securing its first liquid natural gas purchase from the UAE in Yuan - signaling the inevitability of the Petroyuan. The full extent of this massive shift in world order requires an understanding of the history of the Petrodollar. After abandoning the gold standard, the US maintained global hegemony by convincing Saudi Arabia and other OPEC nations to deal oil exclusively in USD. This move required every country to convert to the green back to buy oil, solidifying the dollar as the de facto reserve currency. As the US government rests on its laurels, China has been plotting a decades-long assault on the Petrodollar. By cozying up with previous US allies and brokering historic peace deals, China has taken a dominant geopolitical position on the world stage, leaving the US behind. With a towering debt crisis weighing down on Americans, this blow to the USD dominance could spell disaster for the economy. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Founder Eric Sepanek & Precious Metals Advisors John Karow explain the growing influence of China, the power of the Petroyuan, and what this means for your investments.

The Federal Reserve’s undying commitment to failed strategies has caused widespread pain in the economy. Unfortunately, the situation is only expected to get worse from here, so it’s crucial that investors protect their wealth from the impending downturn. Although the government’s misguided financial policy is to blame for much of this economic pain, our financial leaders don’t seem to have the resources or desire to protect investors from the mess they’ve created. In the immediate aftermath of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, the Biden admin promised to cover all banks only to change their tune a few days later. Now, only government favorites will receive support, leaving many investors in the dust. What’s even more frightening, the FDIC only has enough reserves to cover 1.27% of the trillions Americans have deposited in banks. In other words, our financial system is hanging by a thread even when the main fail-safes are activated. With inflation still raging and a nationwide bank collapse looming, the Fed is stuck fighting on two fronts. At the same time our financial leaders are injecting billions into the economy, they’re announcing additional rate hikes . You don’t have to be an expert to conclude that the economic situation is only going to get worse from this point. There’s a clear move away from traditional paper-backed assets in favor of gold, silver, and other precious metals as investors seek out hard investments. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metals Advisors Joe Elkjer & Tim Murphy explain why the economy is in dire straits and why investors should consider protecting their wealth now.

No amount of empty reassurances from the Biden administration can prevent the banking collapse that’s spreading throughout the US and the world. As foreign banks experience similar instability, many investors are having flashbacks of the 2008 recession. Over a decade of limitless spending has led to surging inflation which the Fed is combatting with aggressive rate hikes. That one-trick strategy is diluting bond holdings, resulting in trillions of unrealized losses across the banking sector. Now, many banks are forced to realize those losses. The contagion reached European shores earlier this week as Credit Suisse tapped into a $50 billion credit lifeline from Switzerland’s central bank. European markets took a massive hit in response, mirroring the uncertainty and angst seen in the US economy. Despite being a global issue, the world’s financial leaders are reacting to the banking shakeup in a disjointed, disorganized, and ineffective way. As the European central bank increases interest rates, the Fed seems paralyzed out of fear of making the situation worse. Gold and silver demand has reached astronomical heights as investors swarm to the safe haven of hard assets. Everyone is seeking protection and security from a collapsing banking system and fledgling economy at large. Investors are buying gold and silver at levels not seen since 2020. The surging demand for gold bullion and silver bullion this week is leading to serious supply shortages for favorable gold coins, silver coins, as well as gold and silver bullion bars. Investors considering physical gold and silver need to pull the trigger sooner than later before supplies further dwindle. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Founder Eric Sepanek and Precious Metals Advisor John Karow explain what caused the 2023 banking crisis , how the contagion is spreading abroad, and why gold and silver demand is absolutely booming. 🔗 RELATED LINKS: 🚨 Gold Spot Special Alert – Banking Crisis, Financial Contagion and Your Money: https://www.sbcgold.com/blog/the-gold-spot-special-alert-03142023/ 📈 See live Gold and Silver Spot Prices: https://www.sbcgold.com/charts/ 🪙 Buy gold and silver coins in Arizona: https://www.sbcgold.com/buy-gold-and-silver/coins/ 👉 Buy Gold Bars in Arizona: https://www.sbcgold.com/buy-gold-and-silver/buy-gold-bars/ 👉 Buy Silver Bars in Arizona: https://www.sbcgold.com/buy-gold-and-silver/buy-silver-bars/

If you’ve been watching the news feeling like the banking world is collapsing before your eyes, you’re not far off. Seemingly overnight, #SiliconValleyBank (SVB) went from being the 16th biggest bank in the country with some major tech clients to yet another banking failure story. Unfortunately, #SVB wasn’t the first or the last. It’s simply another domino in an ongoing saga of #bankcollapses. The Fed’s unscrupulous monetary policies are the true cause of the systemic problem. Investors are justifiably skittish about keeping their money in the bank with many cashing out and investing in hard assets.

The Federal Reserve is making headline news once again after Jerome Powell testified before Congress. Earlier this week, the Fed Chair told Americans to brace for a “bumpy” road ahead as financial czars plan to push rate hikes even higher and for a more extended period of time than anticipated. Financial markets tanked across the board in response to the planned hikes and the acknowledgment of entrenched inflation. Even gold prices and silver prices saw a pullback. The housing market has remained relatively has remained relatively unscathed, but the next spate of rate hikes might just seal its fate. The real estate market’s immense size has largely been propped up by low-interest debt which no longer exists. The incoming collapse of the housing market is all due to the Fed’s policy of making cheap money easy to access. Savvy investors see the writing on the wall with higher interest rates and relentless inflation as they reposition away from fiat-backed markets to the protection of gold and silver. Central banks aren’t the only source of new flows to gold. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Sr. Advisor Damian White & Precious Metals Advisor Todd Graph Graf explain the Fed’s bombshell, why markets are going haywire, and why everyone is flocking to gold.

When you’re topping off your #goldIRA for the 2022 tax year, you might as well consider making moves for 2023 too.

When you have a misguided government and a fledgling economy, it’s impossible to go even a short week without more blunders. It’s like a bad dream the American people can’t wake up from no matter how hard they try. This week, Biden made a surprise visit to Ukraine in what can only be assumed is posturing for an eventual run in 2024. The political stunt only drove China and Russia closer together with Xi threatening to up his support for the war in favor of Putin. While the President was getting photo ops halfway across the world, our financial czars finally had to acknowledge that inflation is still ravaging the economy after the release of the Fed minutes. The news caused a slight pullback in gold prices and silver prices, but savvy investors know this dip is only temporary and are buying the dip. All the pieces are falling into place for a massive increase in gold’s value. It’s crucial to take a long-term perspective rather than focusing on the minutiae. Paper markets are collectively losing stability, forcing people into the safe haven of physical precious metals. This is clear to see as central banks around the world are binging on gold at record rates. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metal Advisors Tim Murphy and Joe Elkjer explain why current gold and silver prices are a gift and why investors need to make moves quickly.

The rare coins featured on last week’s Gold Spot Overtime were claimed fairly quickly by clients looking to further diversify with numismatic gold and silver coins. This week, we thought it was appropriate to up the ante with an exceptionally unique and historically rich rare coin. This near-perfect 1776 Brass Continental Dollar features a respectable PCGS rating of VF25 which is further augmented by a CAC certification signifying the coin’s condition exceeds the PCGS requirements for that rating. The sophisticated and captivating design is credited to Elisha Gallaudet, but it’s believed the coin’s depictions were inspired by Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, underscoring this coin’s historic value. The reverse of this 1776 Brass Continental Dollar features 13 interlocking rings representing the unity of America’s original colonies. On the obverse side, the coin is emblazoned with the Latin motto FUGIO (I flee) and the witty aphorism MIND YOUR BUSINESS. Continental Dollars either falls into the CURENCY or CURRENCY group depending on the spelling featured on the obverse side. Of the first category, only a handful of brass versions were minted, meaning the coin we’re offering is incredibly rare.

In a telling way, the media is spending more time covering claims of UFO invasions rather than the monumental financial shift that’s sweeping across the globe. On the back of deteriorating economic conditions, institutional and retail investors alike are moving away from fiat currency in favor of tangible assets such as gold and silver bullion. Central banks are doubling down on this strategy as a temporary pullback in gold prices and silver prices prompts a bullion buying frenzy. Governments are actively converting paper assets into something truly valuable and investors are following suit. With raging inflation, political infighting, and a devaluing greenback, the US economy simply isn’t the powerhouse it used to be which is causing USD-reliant countries to rethink their approach. Saudi Arabia is threatening to make it even easier to untether from the dollar by entertaining the idea of accepting other currencies on the global oil market which is currently dominated by the Petrodollar. All this hesitancy is exacerbating already dismal economic circumstances at home as the US dollar teeters on the verge of collapse. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot video to hear what Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Sr. Advisor Steve Rand & Advisor Todd Graf are saying about the situation and why now is a great time to scoop up more #gold and #silver.

In characteristic fashion, President Biden only briefly mentioned or completely avoided discussing some of the country’s biggest threats during his State of the Union address. Currently, the country is facing a looming debt crisis, a devaluing dollar, and the rise of a formidable threat in China’s rapid growth. As the debt ceiling draws closer, our fractured government remains in gridlock as either side refuses to nudge. Standing at an unbelievable $31 trillion, US debt casts a shadow of doubt over America’s ability to remain a dominant force in the world. Countries around the world that rely on dollar stability for their economic strength are eagerly searching for alternatives as they see the US struggle with something as simple as bookkeeping. This lack of confidence is the proverbial first domino that can lead to the complete collapse of the US dollar barring a major reversal in government policy. At the same time, China is threatening to supplant the US dollar as the default world reserve currency with the rise of the Petroyuan. Smart investors are shoring up their savings with gold, silver, and other precious metals in anticipation of a turbulent economy. Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metal Advisor Joe Elkjer and Sr. Advisor Damian White explain why the dollar’s dominance is waning and how investors can protect themselves.

Gold demand surged throughout 2022 as investors sought a hedge against raging #inflation and other economic pressures. A recent report from the #WorldGoldCouncil revealed the sheer extent of rising #golddemand. Global purchases reached 11-year highs as demand from both retail investors and central banks shattered previous records. The WGC report also reveals that central banks have been saying one thing and doing another. As governments tell people that fiat currencies are stable, their financial czars are scooping up #gold at record rates. Clearly, economic circumstances are direr than leaders are letting on. Despite this record-setting demand for gold, spot prices remain relatively stagnant which points to the widespread manipulation in the paper market. Some institutional players artificially bog down #goldprices so they can buy in at lower rates. Regardless, it’s only a matter of time before gold spot prices jump higher to match the massive demand for gold. The grim economic outlook for 2023 is only expected to fuel more growth in gold prices with some experts predicting new highs. Watch the video to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Founder Eric Sepanek & Advisor John Karow talk about the booming demand for gold, why central banks can’t get enough of it, and why the US dollar’s position as the leading reserve currency is under threat. 👉 Get your FREE COPY of our updated Petrodollar Report: A Retrospective, here: https://www.sbcgold.com/petrodollar-report/?utm_source=rumble&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=goldspot_rmbl

With a new year underway and the tax deadline quickly approaching, investors are looking to complete their IRA contributions for the year. However, many people don’t realize that you can contribute for both the 2022 and 2023 tax years with a single investment. There’s a tight span of time between early January and mid-April when the timelines for making contributions overlap, allowing investors to double their investments while reducing the amount of work involved. It’s a great time to secure relatively low gold prices as experts predict record highs in 2023 and beyond. Lower average prices mean better returns for your precious metals IRA.

Investors suffered an onslaught of economic challenges throughout 2022 from soaring inflation and a devaluing dollar to geopolitical tensions and beyond. As the economy falters, gold and silver prices are looking stronger. Stocks, real estate, bonds, and other mainstream assets have topped off and retreated. On the other hand, gold prices have been standing firm above $1,900/oz so far into 2023, and silver prices are looking just as healthy. Experts suggest gold will become a mainstay for investors over the next few years as we trudge through the economic doldrums for the foreseeable future. This is clearly understood by institutional investors as gold seems sustained demand. Central banks around the world have been stockpiling gold in anticipation of prolonged economic turmoil with China leading the charge. The CCP has already accumulated over 20,000 tons of gold, and the buying is still going strong. This increased demand is straining already depleted supplies of gold at the New York and London exchanges. Suppliers are desperately trying to keep up with the relentless waves of purchase requests.

People are growing increasingly skeptical of what their governments say as their actions always seem to contradict their official position. That’s why it’s important to watch what the powers that be are doing, rather than what they’re saying. A recent report from the World Gold Council revealed that central banks across the world are scooping up #gold #bullion in record amounts. Unsurprisingly, #China and #Russia were among the largest accumulators of this #preciousmetal. Countries are swarming to hard assets to #hedgeagainstinflation, economic downturns, geopolitical crises, and other threats to their local economies. Some might even be considering a return to the #goldstandard. As #goldprices continue moving upward, the dollar is starting to falter. After a considerable rally over the past few years, technical signs show some serious weakness in the #greenback which threatens all dollar-linked assets. Leaders around the world are taking notice of the dollar’s instability and the West’s loosening control of the global economy. This major shift is steering economies towards gold as a strong foundation and away from the #dollar which has untold consequences for Americans.

The ushering in of a new year is an opportunity to look back on what happened and where things are headed. Many of the predictions we made at Scottsdale Bullion & Coin came to fruition and continue to threaten investors in 2023. The Fed’s insistence that inflation was transitory early on in the year fell on deaf ears as investors continued to steer clear of fiat-backed assets in favor of inflation hedge staples like precious metals which saw record demand. Our concerns of a growing threat from China were vindicated as Xi Jinping made some major geopolitical moves in an effort to dethrone the US as the sole superpower. The CCP continued making strategic investments in other countries and made significant strides in establishing the Petroyuan. As conventional markets stumble, collectibles are seeing skyrocketing demand across the board. Cars, art, baseball cards, and rare coins have all experienced a surge of investors seeking out greater protection from economic pressures. Experts point to numerous economic, geopolitical, and social factors that could fuel a massive jump in the value of gold and silver. 2023 is shaping up to be a big year for precious metals, and it’s crucial that investors put themselves in the best position to take advantage of it. Watch the video to hear what Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Founder Eric Sepanek and Advisor John Karow are saying about 2022, what next year may bring, and why 2023 could be a big year for gold and silver. 📚 RELATED LINKS: 1) China Moves Closer to Petroyuan Dominance : https://www.sbcgold.com/blog/petrodollar-dethroned-china-moves-closer-to-petroyuan-dominance/ 2) Is Gold a Good Investment in 2023?: https://www.sbcgold.com/investing-101/is-gold-a-good-investment/ 3) Gold Price Outlook 2023: https://youtu.be/eqVPE9lgnIc 4) 2022 Craziness Ends & 2023 Uncertainty Takes Over: https://youtu.be/YfQn_ssHJDw 🔴 See live Gold and Silver Spot Prices: https://www.sbcgold.com/charts/ 🪙 Buy gold and silver coins in Arizona: https://www.sbcgold.com/buy-gold-and-silver/coins/ 👉 Buy Gold Bars in Arizona: https://www.sbcgold.com/buy-gold-and-silver/buy-gold-bars/ 👉 Buy Silver Bars in Arizona: https://www.sbcgold.com/buy-gold-and-silver/buy-silver-bars/

GET THE FREE REPORT AT: https://www.sbcgold.com/petrodollar-report/ Last weekend, Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman to sign a series of historical agreements that pressure US dominance on the world stage. Ever since the gold standard was scrapped, the greenback has maintained reserve currency status because the US convinced Saudi Arabia to trade petrol exclusively in USD. This agreement has propped up the dollar as the world’s dominant currency, but US-Saudi relations have since deteriorated and China has taken notice. The most recent agreements between China and Saudi Arabia stopped shy of snubbing the dollar in favor of the yuan for global oil trade, although Salman promised to consider the possibility. The imminent petroyuan would destroy a major pillar of US hegemony and threaten the dominant position the petrodollar has held for decades. Biden’s reckless spending campaign and scapegoating of fossil fuels put the US and the dollar in an even more vulnerable position. Watch this week’s Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin founder Eric Sepanek & Precious Metals Advisor John Karow discuss the ramifications of a dethroned dollar and how investors can protect their wealth with gold and silver.
