News Date: August 17, 2022

On 15 August 1971, US President Richard Nixon officially announced that the country was completely abandoning the gold standard.
This meant that the US government abandoned the convertibility of US dollars into gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce.
The government simply could not meet the demand to exchange dollars received for goods and services for gold.
The jubilee in its original, biblical meaning when once in 50 years the sold and mortgaged lands were returned to their original owners, slaves and prisoners of war were freed, debts were forgiven, and the land rested from fieldwork.
Why not, 2022 may be the year for the return of the gold standard.

The FEDs independence Days Are Numbered

Sometime back in March, the Federal Reserve began quarantining cash bills arriving from Asia. The move was meant to protect Americans from the coronavirus, but it was not entirely necessary. Cash usage was already at an all-time low.
The Fed is going to buy stocks. I do not know precisely when , but it will happen, and probably soon. It does not want to buy stocks but knows it is too dangerous to rule out. Since financial markets are like teenagers - continually testing boundaries - expect the Fed to keep getting pressed on this issue.

Taiwan's Currency Backed by Gold Reserves: Central Bank

A central bank official announced on Friday that Taiwan holds around 422 tonnes of gold in reserve, managed by the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to support the national currency.
Of this, 410 tonnes are dedicated to backing the issuance of New Taiwan dollars, while a smaller portion is used every four years to mint commemorative coins for the inauguration of the president and vice president.
As of the first quarter of 2024, Taiwan ranks 12th globally in gold reserves.
Despite a significant increase in gold's value since its purchase in the 1970s, the central bank is not buying or selling its reserves.
Taiwan's unrealized gain from these reserves is nearly NT$900 billion due to gold's appreciation.
