Shattered! – Silver, Gold – Precious Metals Supply Chain Disrupted for 2-3 Weeks / Longer

Once again there was a major announcement concerning our monetary system on a Sunday. It was President Nixon who, on Sunday August 15, 1971, made the announcement to completely disrupt and change “temporarily” the global monetary system. On Sunday March 15, 2020, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell who, along side President Trump, announced another massive change to the global monetary system.

With the global economy reeling from the spread of the Wuhan Chinese coronavirus President Trump, who had been asking the Federal Reserve for the past several months to lower the Fed Fund Interest Rate, finally agreed to lower the Fed Fund rate to 0.00 – 0.25% all the way down from 1.25 – 1.50%. The, in essence, makes the interest rate the too big to jail banks “borrow” money from the Federal Reserve zero. These too big to jail banks then loan the currency to you and I at 3,4,5% or higher. This is how the banks are stealing all the wealth from the citizens of this country.

This is merely one aspect of what has recently happened to the global economy and the global monetary system. The Wuhan Chinese coronavirus has spread to 4 continents and is now spreading through most all nations on earth. This pandemic is creating lockdowns, quarantines and disrupting economic activity in every community it touches. To say this is creating disruptions on a global scale would be a massive understatement.

The precious metals markets have been directly impacted by all the disruption going on around the world. Transportation, mining, refineries and the retail markets have all been impacted.

I sat down with James Anderson, Director of Content, for SDBullion to discuss the impact he is seeing at SDBullion and the impact of all the major mints being shut down, 3 of the largest gold refineries being shut down for a minimum of 2 weeks and the impact of a massive surge in people coming to the precious metals as a safe haven from all the economic and financial turmoil. It’s a lot to take in and we do our best to keep the conversation light, on topic and providing you with the information you need to make the proper decisions for you and your family.
