Gold is the Real Safe Haven Asset

Gold is finally outperforming the way one would imagine. It's not always about the absolute performance as it is about the relative performance.
As Bitcoin surged from March 2020 through 2021, the market was convinced that Bitcoin was the "new" digital gold, the new store of value asset.
As Bitcoin surged to new highs at each passing day, this became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Gold was seen as the stepchild, given no attention whatsoever as traders chased the greed and FOMO 100%+ returns in crypto assets.
Year to date, Gold is now up 6% vs. Bitcoin down 25%.

Malaysia is exploring the adoption of the gold dinar

Malaysia is actively exploring the adoption of the gold dinar as a reserve currency, with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announcing this initiative in the Dewan Rakyat, the lower house of parliament.
An upcoming meeting on Islamic economics and finance in December will serve as a key platform for discussing and evaluating the feasibility and benefits of introducing a gold-backed currency.
This endeavor reflects Malaysia's commitment to sound economic management and its respect for Islamic financial traditions, with potential implications for both domestic and international financial systems.

An Asian Bretton Woods is suggested

An Asian Bretton Woods may be on the way.
Sergei Glazyev, a senior Russian economist and Minister in charge of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EAEU), was leading a committee planning a new trade currency for the Eurasian Economic Union.
At the same time, the new trade settlement currency was to be available to any other nation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the expanding BRICS membership.
Logic suggests that a gold-backed currency will be the outcome of Glazyev's EAEU committee's trade currency deliberations after all, because of a subsequent announcement from Moscow concerning a new Russian bullion market.
