Who pays when governments avoid a debt crisis? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A debt crisis is easy to imagine: bond prices collapse, yields spike, the government struggles to refinance its obligations... The next debt crisis may be much harder to recognize. Governments have more options than simply repaying their debts or defaulting on them, such as: Each response can make the debt more manageable, but none makes its cost disappear. Instead, the crisis can become a question of who absorbs it. An outright default identifies the loser immediately: creditors expected to rec
China isn't waiting for cheaper gold (opens the original)
Read excerpt
China's central bank added 20.2 metric tons of gold in August, its largest monthly purchase since October 2023. That makes 22 consecutive months of buying. Total holdings: roughly 2,387 metric tons.

Investors can reasonably conclude that an extraordinary episode is returning to normal. History suggests inflation doesn't always cooperate. Inflation rarely follows a perfectly
Why didn't gold rally? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week handed gold every catalyst gold owners wait for. Brent crude settled near $108 on Thursday, its highest in almost four months, as the war with Iran widened. August producer prices posted their largest monthly jump since May. Friday's CPI put annual inflation at 3.4%, with gasoline up 3.9% on the month and leading the increase. War. Energy shock. Accelerating inflation. Gold opened Friday at its lowest level in over a month, heading for a losing week. Higher oil feeds inflation. Higher
