In the last 48 hours:
South Korea intervened in its currency.
Japan intervened in the yen.
And now the United States has entered the yen market,for the first time since the coordinated intervention of 2011.
This tells you the global monetary system is reaching a point where markets are no longer allowed to clear naturally.
Yesterday Currency pressure is being temporarily released through higher U.S. yields.
But higher yields will soon become the next political crisis.
Eventually, those yields will also be declared “unacceptable.”
Then intervention will move from the currency market to the bond market (yield curve control).
Central banks will buy bonds.
Suppress yields.
Expand balance sheets.
And create more currency to protect a system already drowning in debt.
Every intervention solves today’s problem by transferring the cost into tomorrow’s currency.
The ordinary person will not notice it immediately.
Your bank balance still shows the same number.
But your salary buys less food.
Your savings buy less land.
Your pension buys fewer years of security.
Your lifetime of discipline is silently diluted.
This is the cruelest form of taxation because it happens without a vote, without a bill and without most people understanding who took their wealth.
Common people cannot stop governments from intervening.
But those who understand what is coming can front-run it.
That is where gold and hard assets matters.
Gold is not merely a trade against the dollar, yen or won.
It is a vote of no confidence in the entire cycle of debt, intervention and currency destruction.
You buy Gold because your labour, your savings and your family’s future deserve to survive the decisions of people who can create currency, but can never create purchasing power.
