Scottsdale Bullion & Coin

The mid terms have come and gone without much change to current leadership despite widespread expectations of an animated referendum on the #Biden administration. Gold and silver markets jumped slightly just beforehand but the boost was short-lived. Investors are increasingly confused and agitated by underperforming #spotprices when compared to the overwhelming demand for physical products like 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coins, gold bullion bars and silver bullion bars. As we’ve mentioned before, this contradictory performance is due to widespread #pricemanipulation in the paper market by bullion banks. Wise investors aren’t getting worked up by the temporary dip in #gold and #silver prices, because they’re playing the long game. They understand the inherent value and inflation-hedge qualities of gold and silver. The most valuable gains are made over time. Imagine the real estate market exhibited this kind of discrepancy. If there was a whirlwind of buyers that strained the market supply yet the housing market’s overall performance remained flat, you’d see the red flags from a mile away. This is exactly what’s happening in the metals market just without the oversight. It’s only a matter of time before spot gold and silver prices skyrocket, rectifying the difference between paper prices and physical supply and demand.

The economic news has been overtaken by the tragic downfall of the FTX crypto exchange and the tens of billions of dollars that followed the once-revered crypto giant down the drain. The repercussions are being felt throughout all financial markets. FTX soared onto the crypto scene as one of the highest-valued exchanges despite being just a few years old. The platform’s equally novice founder, Sam Bankman-Fried was heralded as the crypto world’s wunderkind boasting a net worth in the tens of billions at only 29. While investors mistakenly assumed their assets were safe in the exchange, FTX founders were spending their users’ funds on luxury real estate, democrat party donations, and other personal escapades. Within just 36 hours, FTX suffered the largest bankruptcy in history deflating from a net worth of $32 billion to zero. This catastrophic crash left investors scrambling to salvage what little of their initial investments were still left. This fiasco highlights the importance of knowing where you invest your money, where the assets are behind held, and who controls the assets. Investors looking for the greatest control possible over their assets are flocking to physical gold and silver. Physical gold and silver are reliable stores of value and have a proven track record against inflation. These assets don’t expose investors to any counter party risk as there’s no third party involved. You physically own the assets in forms of coins and bullion bars. Watch the video to hear what Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Advisors Damian White & Todd Graf have to say about the FTX collapse, why investors are diversifying, and how precious metals provide an answer.

Governments, central banks, and other institutional investors are doubling down on their investment in precious metals by increasing their holdings. Spot prices only tell half the story as physical #gold and #silver are actually seeing a shortage of supplies. Precious metals exchanges and wholesalers struggle to keep up with increasing demand as investors from around the world seek a hedge against #inflation.

The gold and silver markets are seeing unprecedented inflows of investment and exchanging lows as investors hedge against inflation, a free-spending government, and disastrous economic policies. The #Biden administration’s promise to forgive student debt is estimated to set back the US by more than $400 billion. The only historical comparison was the economic bailout in 2008 which was barely passed at the last minute, showing just how frivolously the government treats taxpayer dollars now. The #FederalReserve takes this contemptible position a step further by baselessly declaring that spending hundreds of billions of dollars won’t have a negative effect on #inflation. Clearly, the Fed takes no issues with lying right to the faces of the American people who will feel the brunt of this excessive spending down the line. In the midst of this economic bedlam, gold and silver remain strong even as other markets falter disastrously. Retail investors from around the world are rushing into #gold and #silver to hedge against the inevitability of worsening inflation. These conditions have led experts to predict a significant rise in the value of gold and silver prices in the near future. Watch the video to hear Precious Metals Advisor John Karow & Founder Eric Sepanek speak on the ramifications of Biden’s over-the-top spending, the rush towards precious metals, and where gold and silver prices could go soon. 📚 REALTED READING: 1) Surging Demand & Dwindling Supplies Position Gold & Silver Prices for Big Jumps https://www.sbcgold.com/blog/surging-demand-dwindling-supplies-position-gold-silver-prices-for-big-jumps/ 2) Premiums on Precious Metals Explained: https://www.sbcgold.com/investing-101/premiums-on-precious-metals-explained/ 🔴 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/

The Federal Reserve’s allegiance to rate hikes is causing severe damage to a rapidly deteriorating economy. Our financial elites have unilaterally decided that the financial security of the American people is a justifiable casualty in their war against inflation. Housing rates are already hitting 2006-levels, putting more pressure on a shaky housing market. On top of that, the Bank of England is ringing warning bells about its unstable bond market which is putting the country’s entire financial stability at risk. As the world’s leading economy, this unflinching strategy has ramifications around the globe. In fact, the International Monetary Fund #IMF just warned that the “worst is yet to come” and pointed its finger at these aggressive policies against inflation. The Fed even tipped its hand when admitting that economic “pain” would be inevitable. All the economic tightening is suggesting the potential of an unavoidable recession that the financial elites seem to be eagerly bringing on. Investors around the globe are taking shelter in gold, silver, and other precious metals to hedge against inflation and protect their wealth. The temporary strength of the dollar in tandem with relatively affordable gold and silver prices in the US makes for a golden buying opportunity.

The demand for physical #gold and #silver is “off the charts”. Corporate investors, small businesses, retail investors, and even central banks are all desperately increasing their supplies of physical gold and silver to protect against the deteriorating economic situation. This surge in demand for gold and silver bullion bars and coins is driven by a number of concerns investors have about the economy. Costs are soaring at the same time that buying power is getting squeezed. The threat of a centralized, digital currency (digital dollar) is also stoking fears of government overreach. With physical gold and silver, investors can hedge against #inflation while gaining full control over their hard-earned money. Although the demand for physical #goldandsilver is skyrocketing, spot gold prices and silver prices haven’t jumped higher as many investors had anticipated. In reality, the spot prices doesn’t tell the whole story of the precious metals market since it’s determined by paper gold and silver and futures trading. The factors influencing gold and silver spot prices are essentially infinite while the physical precious metals market is dealing with a limited amount of product. The combination of restricted supplies and escalating demand is pinching the precious metals market leading to shipping delays and shortages. These market wide issues are anticipated to worsen in tandem with the deteriorating economic situation as investors across the board seek out safe havens.

On the face of it, nothing revelatory came from the Federal Reserve’s most recent meeting. Everyone anticipated a 75-basis-point #ratehike which is exactly what the #CentralBank did. However, there’s clearly something bigger going on if you dig a little deeper. Last week, #JeromePowell made it clear that he’s following in the footsteps of famous successor #PaulVolcker who is notorious for hiking interest rates into record territory to fight back against the raging #inflation of the 1970s. What our financial czars seem to miss is that current economic circumstances don’t mirror those of #TheGreatInflation. That means Powell’s risky strategy could have unintended consequences on the economy despite attempting to save it. More specifically, the Fed has aided and abetted the Biden administration’s unscrupulous spending by keeping the money printer churning out billions and billions of dollars whenever a new problem needs addressing. It seems the government’s attempting to confuse the public by making billions seem like nothing in the face of a multi-trillion-dollar deficit. This ruse has succeeded in making some people more accepting of massive spending packages, but not everyone is fooled. The Fed’s 180-degree turn on a number of issues is causing many to wonder if these meetings are a way to discuss legitimate economic agendas or to spread propaganda. Regardless, the Fed has the economy on a crash course, and it’s not looking back. #Inflation is raging, the economy is slowing, and #unemployment is expected to increase which is the perfect recipe for #stagflation. Read on to find out what Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metals Advisor John Karow & Founder Eric Sepanek are saying about these issues and how #gold and #silver are responding. 📚 REALTED READING: 1) Stagflation: What it is, What Causes It and How to Protect Against It: https://www.sbcgold.com/blog/stagflation-what-it-is-what-causes-it-and-how-to-protect-against-it/ 2) Premiums on Precious Metals Explained: https://www.sbcgold.com/investing-101/premiums-on-precious-metals-explained/ 🔴 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/

“2008 was bad…but I see this being much worse.” – Sr. Precious Metals Advisor Steve Rand Nobody was surprised by the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates by another 75 basis points. However, that doesn’t mean people are watching in silence. Americans are anxiously questioning how long the rate hikes will continue and if the economy is headed for a severe recession. Much to the disappointment of the public, all signs suggest that the Fed is just warming up in its aggressive use of rate hikes. Our financial czars are already anticipating a whopping 1.25 percentage point jump by the end of 2022. Jerome Powell reinforced this expectation during a recent speech by pledging to mirror the aggressive rate-hike strategy of former Fed Chair Paul Volcker who pushed rates up to a soul-crushing 16.5% during The Great Inflation of the 1970s. In a rare moment of candor, Powell admitted that the Fed is prepared to accept the risk of sparking a recession in its last-ditch attempt to rein in inflation. With record high debts already weighing on the economy, this might set up the “perfect storm” for a debt crisis too.
