Gold....

Is there any way of knowing or any data analysis to indicate how much of the current gold price is related to the increase in the money supply, how much is due to demand and how much is due to the covid crisis/economic situation? I dont know but i wonder if most of the gold price is due to increased money supply?
I was considering buying some brittanias for the lowest margin possible rather than an ETF.
Thanks
Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

The price of gold is very correlated to expected inflation less return on bonds I.e. to the real return on bonds. Due to massive QE, there is a lot of inflation expectation, however 10 yr US treasury bond yields have also risen sharply which has dampened the demand for gold.
Other than the above, any unexpected news like a war can send the gold price higher due to fear of collapse in other asset classes.0 -
You do realise that gold is priced in US $.0
