Video: Gold Surges To Record Highs In Emerging Market Currencies - New Highs In USD, EUR, GBP In the Coming Months?
- As emerging market currencies internationally collapse in value, there is a real risk of contagion in bond and currency markets- Turkish lira falls 43.6% and Argentine peso falls 51% and are respectively the 2nd worst and worst internationally traded and non pegged performing currencies in 2018- Venezuelan bolivar has completely collapsed- Inflation is going to take off as wheat has surged 28% and oil is up 16% year to date in dollar terms
- Are Argentina, Turkey, South Africa, Indonesia and other emerging markets exceptions? Economists think so but contagion could spread rapidly- Emerging-market crisis is driving safe-haven demand for German Bunds and soon gold- Important not to think of gold solely in US dollar terms and realise that gold is again acting as a safe haven for those who need a currency hedge
