BRIC nakupujú zlato

Cena žltého kovu tento rok zhodnotila asi 45% a za posledných päť rokov 160%. Krajiny BRIC vymieňajú papierové peniaze (USD) za reálne. Možno by sme ich mali nasledovať.

Gold is used for many purposes, but investors watch gold because it is a store of value—the world's oldest circulating "currency," though not as commonly held as it once was. Spot gold prices have jumped around 45% this year as of Friday's close. In the past 5 years, gold has risen around 160%. In the last few weeks, gold went almost parabolic, rising a quick 13% on news that India's central bank was added to its currency reserves. This is on the back of China's quiet gold-buying binge.

So why is this important? The future of the global economy is in the East. Instead of multiple-trillion dollar debts, China, Russia, and India have currency reserves. These governments are slowly moving their reserves from fiat currencies like the dollar to more stable stores of value like gold. At the least, it’s a temporary sign that BRIC confidence is waning in the US government’s ability to pay off debt. They are, in essence, shorting the US economy and exploring other stores of value besides the dollar.

Maybe you should do the same.
