“Gold Revaluation Is An Easy Solution To The Mess”
After writing “The Big Reset” in 2013, Willem Middelkoop became intimately familiar with China and its quest to dominate the global gold market.

Gold, Stocks And The Miners

Canada’s Unemployment Rises – USD/CAD Follows
A disappointing jobs report from Canada: the nation lost 2,300 jobs, worse than a gain that was expected. In addition, the unemployment rate advanced to 7.3% with no change in the participation rate.

The “bulls” continue to“hope” that the recent turmoil that started at the beginning of this year has come to an end.

Interestingly, on Thursday, the ECB launched its biggest “bazooka” yet […]

Although the end date was not extended beyond March 2017, […]
