Gold Swoons After Central Banks Promise To Never Debase Currencies Again

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Very much as expected courtesy of 100% correlations, and following the earlier drubbing in the EURUSD, gold is now falling after the central banks of America, Europe, and Asia have all issued press releases they are henceforth ceasing all currency debasements and will never monetize debt ever again. Seriously, though, following the parabolic move higher earlier, as the widely predicted and expected correction is taking place (see Rosenberg's note from yesterday), which has brought gold to the level last seen two long days ago, all the new price does is provide a cheaper entry point to a self-created gold standard. Thank you LBMA.

Ok, so it will be worth less than 1336 by June 2011. Done. I'm saving this post to beat you over the head with it next year if you have the balls to take your medicine.

Does anybody have a link to the press release from America that says the U.S. won't debase its currency?  Or was that a joke?

This is a farce. The Fed after a century of steady debasement has sobered up. I do not buy it. Now the drunkard has given up drinking without even detoxing. This is a buying opportunity. We have to call the bluff here comrades. I am all into gold. This co-ordination shows desperacy.

I think they meant to say they pledge that everyone, except for themselves, should no longer debase their currency.  They also were willing to follow up with a pinky swear at the next G7.

Wait...is there someone breathing that believes this? Say it ain't so.

So, how exactly did they explain how this would work? How can they support this mess and not debase. What am I missing? Or am I paying to close of attention?

Gold swoons you say. For crying out loud gold drops .8 % and its the sky is falling.I really wonder if some here are used to holding investments long term. Turn off the monitor already. Stock market endices swoon 2-4% daily with regularity but this is normal.

i guess that means one should interpret said move down to mean that every american now has the ability to pay $31,000 for 75 years to offset the ever accumulating debt facing the country.

actually, i'll be trading my fiatscos over time for gold and silver until all that's left is currency for which to pay bills.

Actually, the press releases stated that they have never in the past debased their currencies, AND that they are very sorry for everything they have done in the past that may have hurt our feelings.

I, for one, accept their apologies. I really need to forgive and move on.

it's a wonderful day........

My press releases were scratch and sniffs.

ECB had the odor of Trichet's negligee.

Fed Reserve had the fragrance of Bernanke's chonies.

Strange how a faint essence of the sweetly rotten corpse of JB the Rodeo Clown was there as well.

Until the western authorties stop or at least dramatically reduce the money transfer scheme to the financial industry then you will continue to get malinvestment in the real economy.

A low or zero interest on loans for non-oil based capital construction and high interest rates on deposits earned from credit loaned out to the consumption sector should do the trick of breaking the back of the speculative industries.

I'm going to cross my fingers and keep my powder dry today in the hope that this dip/consolidation/ultrahuge shorting continues so I get a better buy on my next 10 pounds of silver.

On the Nucleo Exchange at www.bulliondirect.com, 10oz bars are bidding around 223 each. Ask is 230. If it drops 8 -10 more, I'll likely pull the trigger.

But at the rate financial trainwrecks are piling up I won't be at all surprised if I had to modify those tactics later this afternoon.

If we are never going to debase the currency again, then what is the Fed policy doing to the Dollar? The Fed is monetizing every nickel of debt the politicians can imagine creating!

Like most, I'm looking at this as an opportunity to take profits (I did last night) and reposition for more degredation and debasement. Since WHEN has a central banker NOT debased the currency?

Thu, 10/07/2010 - 13:19 | 632742 CitizenPete

Actually the FED can't monetize nickels.

U.S. Mint coins are the only U.S. sovereign money created for Americans.  Using U.S. Mint coins actually pays DOWN the U.S. debt, unlike the credit, and green linen issued by the private banking corporations and borrowed by the U.S. government which increases the debt.   The private FED bank pays us (seignorage via the Mint ) full face value for all  U.S. Mint coins, including dollars. The U.S. Mint creates and sells coins under authorization of  the Public Enterprise Fund (PEF), Public Law 104-52 (codified 31 U.S.C. § 5136). (US Code - Cornell)

So in the old economy, sure this coordinated dirge by the central banks would cause PMs to fall... but stay tune folks... this is the new economy..!

Gold and Silver are the insurance policy that is being bought to counter small annoying issues like impending default of the USD, European sovereign debt issues,  QE2, etc...

Anyone who buys into the short term trader's rant doesn't get it.

Seems to me that this statement will now usher in a bond market collapse and kick that 'decision time' can a little further down the road.  Work it thru

 

1.  Two ways out either default (deflation) or debase (hyperinflation)

2.  Statement "Central Banks Promise To Never Debase Currencies Again"

3.  Read between the line:  We recognise that deflation is better than inflation in a fiat currency system given our current difficulties in keeping this Ponzi scheme running. So we're going to default on our obligations. 

4.  Bond market "Oh really!  Well we don't want your piece of shit debt - SELL!"

5.  Bond market collapse.

6.  To be or not to be that is the question: Raise rates or let it rip???
