Policy makers boosted foreign currency holdings by $413 billion last quarter, the most since at least 2003, to $7.3 trillion, according [...]

The Daily Reckoning “Gold continues to climb…stoked by inflation worries,” says a headline in the International Herald Tribune. Yesterday, it touched a new record – $1,050 – even as the dollar rose, oil slumped under $70 and stocks dipped very slightly. Well, what do you expect? The United States added $1 trillion to its monetary [...]

The Daily Reckoning OK, front and center this morning, gold has soared to another all-time high! When I turned on the screen this morning, gold was flashing a great big $1,055 figure… WOW! But wait! Gold – and silver for that matter – aren’t the only risk assets moving higher… All 16 of the countries [...]

A Fundamental Question. Or Two. Or Three. Good Day, Gold relinquished the $1,000 level in the hours prior to yesterday afternoon’s final tick, but it was a slow, stubborn retreat. Such action persisted during the nighttime hours, fueled by additional dollar strength and profit-taking in crude oil. Today’s G-7 meeting in Istanbul might set the [...]

The Daily Reckoning Well… Instead of a “turn around Tuesday”, we’re seeing a whiplash Wednesday! And for once the Big Dog (euro) (EUR) didn’t lead the other little dogs (currencies) off the porch to chase the dollar down the street! No… This time it was the currencies of Australia (AUD) and New Zealand (NZD) that [...]

The Daily Reckoning It is a gray morning here in London. We sit in the building with the golden balls, look out the window, and wonder… …how does it all work? We’re doing some serious thinking this week. What is it that actually causes a depression? A stock market collapse? Or too much debt? How [...]

The Daily Reckoning “Gold is rising because the post-Breton Woods exchange rate system doesn’t work,” Eric Roseman, our colleague over at the Commodity Trend Alert, matter-of-factly declares. “More than ever, governments are piling up debts, as a result of bailing-out their respective banking systems. There is a price to pay for this profligate spending. And [...]
