The Daily Reckoning Australia

Don’t Delay, Protect Your Wealth Now!

Tuesday saw the seven-year reign end for the Reserve Bank Governor, Philip Lowe. Is it the beginning of a new era for the Australian financial system? I wouldn’t want to get your hopes up as I expect more of the same going forward. Governor Lowe’s final address was about how inflation in Australia may’ve peaked but high inflation is expected to persist. In other words, don’t expect a quick reprieve from high interest rates and the soaring cost of living. We’ll have to endure a while longer of tightening our belts and forgoing some nice-to-haves. How do you plan to go through such times?

Will It Be the Third Time Lucky for Gold in the Coming Crisis?

Gold has been in a bull market since 2019 when the US Federal Reserve switched from raising interest rates to cutting them. The global virus outbreak in 2020–22 unleashed a massive tidal wave of debt and liquidity that boosted the price of gold. However, it was underwhelming relative to what happened in past crises. What happened? Who stole gold’s thunder? And will gold have its moment to shine in the coming crisis that’s brewing? Read on…

Opportunities Abound Amidst a Looming Crisis

This past fortnight, I attended the ABC Bullion Precious Metals Conference and the Australian Gold Conference. While the ABC Bullion Conference provided an upbeat atmosphere, the Australian Gold Conference was less so.

However, instead of glooming at the past, you should instead be looking into the opportunities of the future.

The Show of the Century

Two major contests are playing out in the world stage now — the petrodollar system versus BRICS and former President Trump versus The Swamp. While the two seem separate from each other, they’re linked as finance, politics and geopolitics are interlinked. The current attacks on Trump, as he seeks to run for the 2024 election, have come thick and fast, and they will escalate into next year. But what many mightn’t notice is that he emerges from each assault with more support rather than less. Why is that the case? And how does this fight relate to gold? Read on for more…

Defying the Weakness: Follow the Gold Mining Executives Consolidating in Tough Times

The past two years haven’t played out too well for gold mining companies. Even as the world grappled with difficult economic conditions and gold has steadily risen, mining companies haven’t enjoyed the same gains as gold. There’s no denying that short-term traders earned more profits than buy-and-hold investors, especially if they bought the larger gold producers. However, that could change going forward as the markets buckle under high-interest rates and insurmountable debt. While all this is happening, industry insiders have been busy shopping for bargains for several months. If you want a chance to also benefit, I suggest you follow them…
