The US cabal has pushed oil too low in its attempt to squeeze the Russian economy and money flows. Other commodities are following it down. Gold has gone along for the ride as the USD is protected. We are still in the phoney war stage but that will soon change. Putin will need a win prior to the upcoming BRICS meeting late August so I'm betting a show of force somewhere in this conflict soon to cement his position within the emerging BRICS hegemony. Kiev is my warm favourite. NATO will have to finally respond. Gold to benefit - you bet.
