Hi Slange and All,

Correction to earlier post for bank please read bang!

The question I posed yesterday: “ Will China come back to the Gold market with a bank after their break?”

It appears that the Taiwanese dollar has see a decent appreciation of 8% gains on the USA dollar in just two days.

Perhaps Taiwan should follow the mainland China’s parent example and use this windfall increase in their dollar to buy Gold!

SINGAPORE/TAIPEI,May 5 (Reuters) - An unprecedented two-day surge inTaiwan's currency is the latest leg of a scramble out of the U.S. dollarand signal of disquiet in markets as U.S. President Donald Trump's trade warrattles confidence and disrupts trade relationships.

The Gold to Silver ratio remains high at 102:1

During Roman times the ratio was fixed at 12:1 In slightly more modern times in the USA coinage act of 1792 the ratio was fixed at 15:1.

I believe at one point during WW11 the ratio peaked at 98:1. One wonders just how long the major players can keep the Silver price under their control?

Talking about ratios in general I do not profess to being an expert but the Copper to Gold and the Oil to Gold ratios could be an early warning sign of market trouble ahead.

One thing for sure with all this indicative information and in the midst of both hot / tariff wars and general financial shenanigans I for one am not thinking about parting with any physical gold anytime soon.
