Arcadia Economics, Released on 1/10/24

In recent years we’ve seen many of the traditional buyers of US treasuries cut back on their holdings. But what are they buying instead? In today’s show Dr. Jim Willie of The Hat Trick Letter talks about how the biggest treasury buyers are now rapidly purchasing gold. He digs into the current dynamics existing in the gold and silver markets, and explains how he feels these markets will have to trade as the move away from the dollar on a global scale continues to unfold.

Jim Willie is a statistical analyst in marketing research and retail forecasting. He holds a PhD in Statistics, and his career has stretched over 25 years. He aspires to thrive in the financial editor world, unencumbered by the limitations of economic credentials. Jim operates a free website called Golden Jackass.
