The National Bank of Georgia has announced it has purchased an additional US$100 million of #gold for its international reserves. https://t.co/lM6pOf3p9W
Consumer Prices in the US rose 4.5% per year over the last 5 years and over 24% in total.
2% inflation is a myth.
They won't do it, but the Fed should be hiking rates at the FOMC meeting next week.
90 PERCENT PAPER GOLD: INSIDER FROM GOLDMAN AND JP MORGAN REVEALS THE REAL BACKING
The Swiss Tonia Zimmermann from S spent decades structuring derivatives at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Credit Suisse before co-founding her financial platform. She just laid out exactly what paper gold really is and why the gap between paper promises and physical metal matters more than most investors realize. The numbers she shared turn conventional gold ownership on its head. What happens when everyone finally demands the real thing at once?
THE PAPER GOLD EXPLAINED
➡️ Paper gold and paper silver are derivatives, mainly futures contracts that let traders buy or sell metal at a set future price without ever moving physical bars today.
➡️ These paper instruments generate daily trading volumes many times larger than the entire annual global mine production of gold or silver.
➡️ Because the paper market is so enormous, it alone drives price discovery for actual physical metal across the world.
THE FRACTIONAL BACKING SHOCK
➡️ Gold accounts at banks function exactly like cash accounts and are not 100 percent backed by real metal in the vault.
➡️ Typical reserves sit between 10 and 20 percent, so for every seven ounces an investor believes they own, only about one ounce may actually exist in physical form.
➡️ Futures contracts work the same way: only a small margin is required, not the full value of the gold.
THE PHYSICAL DELIVERY CRISIS
➡️ The entire system runs without issue as long as clients never actually demand physical delivery from their gold accounts or futures positions.
➡️ The moment broad physical demand hits, whether through bank accounts or major exchanges, only around 10 percent of the claimed gold is truly available in metal.
➡️ "The faster one wins," she noted, describing exactly who gets the real gold when a rush begins.
THE CREDIT FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING
➡️ Our whole economy creates assets and money through credit, meaning every piece of wealth has a matching debt created somewhere else in the system.
➡️ If debts across the board must be reset or wiped, the corresponding wealth on the other side disappears at the same moment.
➡️ This credit mechanism is why paper gold can trade at such extreme multiples of real physical supply without immediate problems.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Paper gold creates the comfortable feeling of ownership while resting on a thin slice of actual metal and endless credit creation. The day physical demand tests the structure, the gap between promises and reality becomes impossible to ignore.
Insiders have always known the difference. The rest of the market is about to find out.

Governments Are Selling Bonds at Record Pace as Spending Soars
Governments are borrowing from syndicated bond markets at a record clip as public spending surges.
Sovereign issuers have sold $504 billion of debt so far this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s more than in the first half of 2020, when nations were paying to support their economies during Covid-19 lockdowns.
Budget deficits have been climbing since the global financial crisis. They spiked during the pandemic, when interest rates were slashed to record lows, and are widening again as governments boost defense spending and try to protect households from price shocks driven by the Iran war. Aging populations and rising interest rates are adding to the pressure. (Bloomberg)
The bubble is not limited to tech stocks. Walmart is another bubbly stock from the 90s, and it has nothing to do with technology or the future. The stock did not collapse, but it became the number one example I use to explain my thesis of sideways markets. Any earnings gains that Walmart dutifully manufactured over the next decade and a half were wiped out by price-to-earnings compression. Shareholders who bought this wonderful company in 1999 made no money until 2014, other than collecting pitiful dividends. Today Walmart is trading at 50 times earnings again. Those who don't study history…
BREAKING 🚨: China just bought 10 tonnes of gold in May. 🇨🇳
Largest monthly addition since January 2025.
19 consecutive months of buying.
Longest streak since at least 2015.
April: +8 tonnes.
May: +10 tonnes.
The pace is accelerating. Not slowing.
Total reserves now: 2,331 tonnes.
A new all-time record.
Gold now makes up over 9% of China's total foreign reserves.
They're not diversifying.
They're replacing.
