“Thus, it should be understood that when pro-US figures use the term, 'rules-based international order,' they are not referring to anything analogous to the rule of law. Quite the opposite, they are using Orwellian language to describe a system in which essentially no rules can be established and/or observed, given that the dominant state has the prerogative to violate and/or rewrite “rules” at its whim.” Aaron Good, American Exception

Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - Gold to $10,000 oz. - Walkin' On the Sun
In general I do not like to post flat out projections for anything at much higher than the current market price, but directionally I think we might be facing a market dislocation in the metals to the upside for some fairly well identified fundamental and technical reasons.
I do not think that a domestic US gold standard is inevitable at all. I think it is still rather unlikely.
But I do believe that gold and possibly silver will have an important role to play in international trade.
But first things first. Gold must break up and take out the small and then the larger symmetrical triangles and retest the previous high.
There was some thinly disguised nonsense about gold on financial television today that is often a good sign of an impending rise in price.
