News Date: July 9, 2021

Banks are making desperate moves. Wells Fargo is shutting down all existing personal lines of credit in the coming weeks and no longer offers the product.
The role of commercial banks in the global economy is changing, with lending to governments and their agencies now more important than lending to goods and services industries. It is a trend which is due to continue.
The new Basel 3 regulations seem set to encourage this trend, despite retail depositors being accorded a stable funding status. Central bank digital currencies are anticipated to augment and perhaps replace non-financial business credit over the next five to ten years.
But the increasing financialisation of commercial banking brings the risk of tying its future firmly to a financial bubble. And with price inflation on the increase, it is only a matter of very little time before that bubble bursts.

Former FED chairman: gold is currency

Alan Greenspan served five terms as chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Greenspan once said: I view gold as the primary global currency.
It is the only currency, along with silver, that does not require a counterparty signature.
Gold, however, has always been far more valuable per ounce than silver.
Gold is still, by all evidence, a premier currency, where no fiat currency, including the dollar, can match it.

Banks Are Restocking Gold

Banks Are Restocking Gold at Fastest Pace in Years.
The Comex vaults have been steadily depleted over the last several months, however, 1.6M ounces of gold just showed up since March 1.
This is the largest inflow since October 2020 and we are only halfway through March!
This may be simply a restock of the metal lost in Jan and Feb.
It's also possible this is being used to support the massive delivery volume being seen in the historically quiet month of March.
But a third possibility is that the banks are preparing for massive delivery volume in April.
