New worries America on verge of losing petrodollar privilege

  • admin
  • April 1, 2023

As gold prices continue to hold firm near the $2,000 level, bulls are eying big developments ahead for the monetary metal along with the global monetary system.

Gold’s potential ascendancy to new record highs is coinciding with a decline in the global status of the U.S. dollar as world’s reserve currency.

China is pushing for its currency, the yuan, to be the primary competitor to the dollar in international trade. It has forged new partnerships with Russia and other countries who are willing to deal directly in Chinese yuan.

Of course, it’s no surprise that Russia is working to undermine the U.S. dollar standard. Western sanctions have attempted to blacklist Russia from the global financial transactions and forced the Kremlin to pursue alternatives which include doing international business in rubles, yuan, and even gold.

What U.S. officials fear now is that Saudi Arabia could announce it will no longer price oil exclusively in dollars. Any abandonment of the petro-dollar would formally signal the end of the dollar’s status as world reserve currency.

The consequences of such a development would be “catastrophic.” That’s according to Monica Crowley, who served as assistant to the U.S. Treasury Secretary under President Donald Trum

With so much at stake, the Treasury department, the Federal Reserve, and large financial institutions want to prevent public confidence in the U.S. dollar from slipping.

One of the warning signs of a collapsing currency would be a spike in gold prices. The powers that be in the futures market seem to be trying to push gold back down whenever it begins to make a move past $2,000 per ounce.

Although the gold market does face powerful resistance near current levels, it can’t be capped forever — especially given that the dollars in which it is priced are steadily losing value. The longer gold prices remain compressed within a trading range, the more the pressure will build for an eventual breakout.

Metals markets have been moving in recent days on bank run fears, rising expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year, and simmering geopolitical tensions.

China is currently making moves to expand its global reach and undermine the United States. While some geopolitical analysts are warning of a military conflict between the two superpowers, Chinese Communist Party officials may be more inclined to strike at the U.S. financially.

China is investing in countries throughout Asia, Africa, and the Middle East as part of its “Belt and Road” project. The Chinese aim to place the majority of the world’s population under its direct economic influence. And they will likely use that influence to drive a wedge between its trading partners and the United States.

The end goal may be to drive most of the world away from the U.S. dollar. The U.S. might be able to defeat China militarily, but it will be in a difficult position if it comes down to trying to win a currency war.

It can no longer claim to be the custodian of a global gold standard. Nor can the United States credibly claim to be the world’s most financially sound or politically stable country.

American politicians, bureaucrats, and central bankers have abused the privilege of having the world’s reserve currency. Instead of practicing fiscal and monetary prudence, they have embarked on a reckless expansion of debt owed to the rest of the world.

The rest of the world is starting to realize that what they are owed won’t be paid back in honest currency. It will be paid back in rapidly depreciating Federal Reserve notes.

That realization is helping to prompt a record surge in sovereign gold buying by foreign central banks. They can see the writing on the wall. And hopefully, so too will individual investors before it’s too late for them to protect themselves from a currency crisis.
