02-02-2026 “I Feel The Earth Move” To Gold

————————–

Bucks feel the Earth move under their feet. They feel order tumbling down.

So, what happened when Trump popped the overinflated ego of Europe’s elites at Davos? Central Bankers bought more gold? As a result, they own an asset that can move 10% in a day.

The new process of a multipolar financial world takes time. The change is not bad; the US is a net debtor country, which means its future depends on foreign investors. Since the financial world views the US as too big to fail, buy Gold and sell a few Dollars.

When rates aren’t pushed around
