“Alasdair Macleod warns that the U.S. bond market is dangerously mispriced, with rising interest rates failing to offset growing credit risks—especially for foreign investors.”
“He argues that markets misunderstand risk and that declining confidence in U.S. Treasuries signals a broader collapse in the Western credit-based financial system. Meanwhile, Macleod highlights China's decades-long accumulation of gold as part of a strategic move to internationalize the yuan and eventually back it with gold, contrasting sharply with Western reliance on fiat money.
“He explains that gold remains real money—while everything else, including government bonds and CBDCs, is simply credit or political control in disguise. With geopolitical tensions rising and global currencies weakening, Macleod urges individuals to prioritize wealth preservation through physical gold as the world nears the bursting of the largest credit bubble in history.”
I don't envy anybody trying to analyse what is currently happening in the financial world just now and then going public with their findings. Nothing is as it seems these days, central banks make moves they would not have ever done before, rules are changed on the QT, figures are manipulated beyond anything seen in recent years and that's without anything geopolitical being taken into account. So hats off to Alasdair for his take on the situation, it was an honest and interesting 50 minutes. So much foresight from the Chinese going back decades and so much hubris from the west. If the current goings on were released as a book 30 years ago it would have been logged in the "fictional" section of the library over here and in the educational section in the east.
Silver is doing pretty well, but platinum even more so.
Strange, but a few weeks ago, before platinum started rising, someone mentioned Zelenski getting a share of Northham Platinum mines (Northplats).
This has been confirmed now not only by the sudden "coincidental" increase of the platinum price, but the fact that the fact-Cheka denies it.
