Asian Metals Market Update: CB's To Issue Digital Currencies

Irrespective of whether “taper” is early or later, I will prefer to use the September crash (if any) in gold to invest for Diwali and Christmas. Normalization (maskless world) after the booster dose of the coronavirus vaccine will be the next big theme (after taper). To me, the real coronavirus vaccine is the so-called booster dose. Central banks will continue their hyper-cautious approach to asset bubbles till there is evidence that the world is covid free. Drunken man theory will be there in all asset classes and not just precious metals.

Cryptocurrencies are getting greater acceptance with the passage of each day. Hard assets like physical gold and even land or homes will benefit from the greater acceptance of cryptocurrencies. People are using cryptocurrencies to buy physical gold. The upcoming trend of using cryptocurrencies to buy physical gold will rise every day, every week and every month. I expect cryptocurrencies to be used for the purchase of groceries and homes as well.

Central banks have started feeling the heat of mass acceptance of cryptocurrencies. As a result, they are on the verge of issuing digital currencies. States and nations will never accept anything which does not give them high taxes. Digital currencies will make us slaves of the state, nations, and rogue politicians who consider the masses as cattle class. Privacy is almost nil for most of us. For example, I search the review of anything on google, and my Facebook page, email, SMS and browser all get flooded with advertisements related to that product. Central banks will use digital currencies to change our consumption patterns and spending habits. The world will see a very big change in the next five years. The sum is that our lives will be dictated by central banks and a few large corporations. 5G will also change our lives upside down. Physical gold is the only hedge against the state-imposed control on us.

Price moves in gold and silver after NFP (3^rd September) and FOMC (22^nd September) can give some nice short-term trading opportunities. Good investment return can be generated by intraday trading in bullion.

One should ignore the central bank and its speakers. They are manipulators. Federal Reserve chairman Powell's speeches this summer reflect that he is doing everything to get a second term. Elections in Germany and Canada this month and the long-term impact of Taliban control of Afghanistan will be supportive of bullish gold prices.
