United States and China are seeking debt relief measures
The United States and China are in frequent discussions to prevent emerging market sovereign defaults.Talks include preemptive measures such as extending loan periods to ease the annual debt service burden of over US$400 billion for poor countries.
Ideas also involve increased financing from the World Bank and others to address high borrowing rates.
The aim is to implement these measures before countries default and enter formal restructuring talks with creditors.
The Treasury Department: "we talk frequently with China about sovereign debt concerns.
And we talk to many countries about how to make sure the international financial architecture is meeting low-income country financing needs".
Gold and Silver benefit from FED policy, inflation
Gold prices are hovering around a two-week high as of Friday, showing the biggest weekly gains in over two months as the US Federal Reserve keeps key policy rates unchanged, engendering investors optimism about commodity markets.The Fed balance sheet is one of the drivers to the expanding money supply. The Feds monetary tools are used to keep rates low and cheap credit flowing. If the Fed keeps up the monetary stimulus, it will continue to drive inflation higher.
If the Fed were to ever try and taper, allowing longer-term rates to rise, it will put pressure on many areas of the economy, including the federal deficit.
In either case, Gold and Silver should benefit from high inflation if the Fed keeps printing or a shrinking economy if the Fed tapers.
