We know we’ve probably talked about gold enough this year but given the latest Wall Street Journal piece on the so-called “debasement trade,” it’s hard not to revisit it. As Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel, recently remarked, it’s “slightly concerning” when gold begins to assume the role the dollar once held as the world’s safe harbor. While we’re pleased to see portfolios benefiting from this move, our skeptical caps remind us that the rally reflects deeper structural imbalances, chief among them runaway deficit spending, persistent debt expansion, accelerating central-bank purchases, and now a new accelerant out of Japan’s decision to run the economy “hot.” In short, this isn’t just a gold story; it’s a monetary one. wsj.com/finance/commod…
