Christine Lagarde wants the euro to rival the dollar. Investors prefer gold.
This week ECB President Christine Lagarde proposed that the euro could rival the dollar if only the EU would finish what it started. Her wish list included deeper capital markets, more military muscle, new trade agreements, and a jointly-financed supply of “safe” assets. In short, she wants a stronger currency.

The Gold Beneath Our Feet
A fascinating article in the Financial Times recently caught my eye. Written by Sarah Dadouch, The Great Syrian Gold Hunt, described a modern-day treasure hunt taking hold across post-Assad Syria.

Gold’s Big Reclassification? Not Happening.
You may have noticed recently that gold headlines have been spinning one very specific claim: that on July 1st, 2025, gold will be reclassified as a Tier 1 High Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) under Basel III rules.

The Four Contradictions of Tariff Logic – and the Cost of Chasing Control
In 1971, President Nixon ended the gold standard with a televised announcement on a quiet Sunday night. He didn’t call it what it was – a default. He said it was temporary. Necessary. A “response to unfair trade practices.” Sound familiar? Fifty years later, we’re still using trade as a smokescreen for deeper structural problems. […]
What If Tariffs Aren’t the Fix —But the Trigger To Buy More Gold?
It’s now a month since the latest round of U.S. tariffs were announced, but the headlines and effects still ripple through like it was just yesterday. Global trade is being rerouted. Confidence is leaking. And deeper cracks in the system are starting to show. In her latest video, Jan Skoyles digs into what’s really happening […]
Gold Didn’t Peak. It Sent a Signal.
When gold hit $3,500, the world blinked. Then shrugged. A spike, a pullback — business as usual? Not quite. This wasn’t just another gold rally. It was a moment of clarity — a jolt that revealed just how fragile the global financial architecture has become. Gold didn’t move because it got stronger. It moved because […]
