4.3.24 "We Will Rock You" It's Another Gold BRIC in the Wall

------------------------

BRICS want a race. Chasing Bucks Can all over the place, //  Queen only //singin'. We will, we will rock you. We will, we will rock you.

Gold hit record highs as China and other BRICS continued their buying spree. So, why hoard Gold?  Under Russia’s leadership, the BRICS, which includes many of the largest oil-producing countries, want to establish a global payment system to compete with the capricious Advanced Economies’ Swift system.  Gold’s rise also reflects doubt that the Fed will avoid a liquidity crisis unless it curtails selling Treasuries.

Regardless, the 10-year yield is in limbo with no momentum.  Stay tuned to shifting money We will, as the BRICS say,

We will, we will rock you.

Song:  We Will Rock You (1977)
