Gold – Geopolitical vs Inflation
COMMENT: Marty, I spoke to a friend at the __________ bank in NY, and he said on gold, listen to Armstrong. I found that interesting since he was well up there in the Bank’s food chain. He also said this is geopolitical, not inflation.

ANSWER: Well, as I have said, gold’s not stopping when it is geopolitical. We gave our price and timing targets. Forget the BS about inflation. Gold is rising for the safe-haven demand as geopolitical tensions increase. Banks that do follow us know that we are bullish on bullion’s safe-haven status as anxiety escalates about the global economy. The fact that the Federal Reserve is poised to keep borrowing costs steady realizes that Keynesian Economics is dead. The rise in interest rates no longer stops inflation because government expenditures rise, and politicians will NEVER reduce spending because the Fed raises rates.
