Behind Gold’s Drop: The System’s Hidden Weakness
Episode 136
This episode focuses on the sharp drop in gold prices on October 21, 2025, which saw the metal fall by 5.7% to $4,087.70 per ounce. It argues that this sudden decline was not due to a failure of gold itself, but rather exposed fragile financial foundations tied to systemic liquidity shortfalls. Specifically, the discussion points to shrinking Federal Reserve reserves and the strain caused by quantitative tightening (QT) as key underlying issues. Paradoxically, while private investors were forced to sell gold to raise cash, central banks continued to strategically acquire the metal, shifting away from fiat currencies and increasing global reserves. The overall message is that the correction serves as a warning about the modern economy's structural dependency on liquidity injections.
