US left gold backing so that they didn’t have to hold the physical gold required for its backing.
They attached the US dollar to the “petro-dollar” meaning all trades in oil and gas were to use $US - creating a demand of supply of $US for other countries to do trade. This has allowed the US to print money hand-over-fist unchecked.
Fast forward to 2024 - a lot of countries are now direct trading oil and gas …bypassing the need for USD…. and there’s the emergence of BRICS to consider.
I believe it to be a very astute move to back the ZiG to the price of gold - check out the POG over the last 5-10 years….. the return on gold has changed dramatically, yet mainstream still sprout the same narrative.
At some stage in the next 5-10 years I believe the US dollar will weaken significantly - with the removal of demand from the petro-dollar - whilst gold will remain a commodity of financial choice.
China has been accumulating gold at a significant rate for quite some time now …. I wonder why ?
”New Case for Gold” is a good read on this topic if anyone’s interested. - its about 10 years old, but a lot of things written in it seem to be slowly coming to fruition.
Meanwhile, I hold and remain steadfast with my IVZ investment - fundamentals haven’t really changed since my decision to enter - in fact the potential resource has only been improved… in it for the long term.
