A "Gold Standard" is slowly gaining quiet acceptance in the corridors of central banks, without fanfare or explicit declaration.
The source of this article is interesting from a macro economic point of view. OMFIF is a forum for central bankers, economic policy and public investment.
Chart of $SPX (S&P 500), $GOLD, $NYXBT (Bitcoin) , and $USD (Dollar)since October 4, 2018, when the Federal Reserve announced a rate increase, only later to be rescinded after adverse market reaction. None the less, a good position to track performance as the first crack in the long outstanding 10 year stock market rally. Dollar up 5% remains strong, everyone wants dollars. S&P 500 up 15%, lots of dollars finding a home in stocks, Gold up 30%, makes steady increases despite rising stocks, is this a confident stock market?, Bitcoin up 50%, what a wild roller coaster ride, catch the gain if you can. Ira Harris points out in regards to Coronavirus, "If the global economy experiences a dramatic slowdown where will the funding of debt repayments come from?....GOLD...making new highs is indicative NOT OF INFLATION SCARCITY BUT OF CENTRAL BANKS LOSING CONTROL IN THE FACE OF A HEIGHTENED FEAR OF DEFLATION. It is the fear of deflation in a world saddled with record amounts of DEBT, which the International Institute of Finance (IIF) has cited at more than $250 trillion. https://yragharris.com/2020/02/09/coronavirus/

It arguably started 6-8 weeks ago as its already up 4000 or 61% from the 6500 lows. Will be interesting to see what happens with the halving. Forward term structure is already very elevated. March is 200 over Feb and June is 500 over Feb! I do wonder if the conorvirus is driving some of this?
