Via SchiffGold.com, Gold has continued to
push upward. The latest catalyst was another escalation of the trade
war. Gold briefly moved above $1,550 in dollar terms. But it has done
even better in relation to other currencies. In fact, the yellow metal is at record highs in nearly every currency except the dollar.
ゴールドは上がり続けている。直近のキッカケは貿易戦争激化だった。短期間だがゴールドは＄１５５０を超えた。しかし他国通貨ではもっとすばらしい。実際、殆どの通貨でゴールドは過去最高だ、唯一の例外がドルだ。
Peter Schiff appeared on RT America on Aug. 26 to talk about it. He
said he thinks gold is eventually going to make new highs in the dollar
as well, and this time, it’s not going to stop going up.
Peter Schiffは ８つき２６日にRT Americaでインタビューを受けた。彼が言うにはやがてドルでも新高値になるだろう、そして今回は留まるところを知らない。
Peter said he doesn’t necessarily think that recession fears, in and of themselves, are pushing gold higher.
They’re worried about what the central banks, and in particular the
Federal Reserve, is going to do about the next recession. That’s why the
price of gold is going up - because the Fed is going to be going back
to zero; they’re going to be going back to quantitative easing and all
of this is good for gold.”
Peter noted that gold has been making record highs in almost every currency except the dollar.
Peterはこう述べる、ドル以外の殆どの通貨でゴールドは記録的高値になった。
And I think ultimately, we’re going to make a high in the dollar,
probably before too long. And you know, when the Fed did quantitative
easing the first time, the reason that the gold rally stopped at $1,900
was because everybody believed that the Fed had an exit strategy and
that they could reverse the process, normalize interest rates, unwind
their balance sheet. When they realize that they were mistaken to
believe that, that there is no exit strategy, that it’s
basically QE forever, that the balance sheet is going to grow into
perpetuity — gold’s not going to stop next time. It’s going to keep on
going.”
As far as the trade war goes, Peter called it “a bit of a distraction.”
Peterに言わせれば、貿易戦争など「ささいなものだ」。
The US economy is going into recession regardless of what happens
with trade... The trade war certainly makes a bad situation worse, but
it was a bad situation anyway. And I think a lot of people have some
false optimism that all we have to do is end the trade war and we’ll
avert recession. That’s not going to happen.”
Peter said he doesn’t expect the Chinese to simply surrender in the
trade war. In fact, he sees signs that the Chinese are digging in their
heels and believes the trade war could continue on beyond the next
election.
Peter said he doesn’t know what the Trump administration could do to
stave off the recession. He reiterated that recession is inevitable and
the problem is the more they delay it, the worse it’s going to be. He
said he thinks the downturn will start before the election and Trump
likely won’t be reelected.
I think the Fed will do what it can to avert it. They will go back to
zero. They will do more QE. We may even get some type of tax cut or
increased government spending in a vain effort to try to stimulate the
economy. But that’s not the type of stimulus the economy needs. We need
less government, not more government. We actually need higher interest
rates, not lower interest rates. But even if we do the right thing,
that’s not going to avert the recession because the recession is part of
the cure, and we need to embrace it, not resist it. Unfortunately,
politicians will never do that because they are more concerned about
their reelection that the long-term health of the economy.”
So, where should the average Joe put his money? Gold?
では、平均的な米国人はどこにお金を投じればよいのだろう？ ゴールド？
Well, I think gold’s going up whether or not the stock markets crash.
In fact, the only way to prevent the stock markets from crashing is to
print a lot of money and slash rates, which is really good for gold. So
yes, people should be buying gold. Don’t think you’ve missed the
boat if it’s at $1,530 and you haven’t bought. We’re going a lot
higher. Remember, we were at $1,900, so we’re well off the highs. There
aren’t that many assets that you can find that are off their highs like
gold, other than silver, which is probably an even better buy. It’s
much further off its high.”
Peter said investors should stay away from the dollar, not only
because of the looming recession, but because its days as a reserve
currency could be numbered. Peter noted that even the Bank of England
president has said the dollar should no longer be the reserve.
Gold is going to be the reserve. Gold was the reserve before the dollar and it will be the reserve after the dollar.
So, people should buy it now. Don’t wait for that to happen because
when we remonetize gold, the price will be much, much higher than it is
today.”
最後の二段落だけ訳しておきます。 Stock Euphoria Stunts Gold Adam Hamilton April 19, 2019 3257 Words The great euphoria emanating from these near-record-high stock markets is breathtaking. Traders are again convinced stocks do nothing but rally indefinitely. That everything-is-awesome mindset has stunted gold’s latest upleg, since there’s no perceived need for prudently diversifying stock-heavy portfolios. But that psychology can change fast, as we saw a half-year ago. Gold investment roars back as stocks roll over. The word “euphoria” is widely misunderstood, often confused with “mania”. The latter is when stocks rocket vertically in blowoff tops, and is defined as “an excessively intense enthusiasm, interest, or desire”. The US stock markets certainly aren’t in a mania. At its latest high last Friday, the flagship US S&P 500 broad-market s...
