"...if central banks are going to blink and wimp out, gold is going to rise..."
In thinking about the prospect of a dollar crash over the past several months, it occurs to me that if & when currencies collapse, they collapse with respect to something else. The German Mark collapse a century ago was a measurable collapse because of the exchange rates with other currencies. The Zimbabwe collapse was measurable in dollars. The Euro now has lost spending power because we compare it to the dollar. But in order for the dollar to collapse, it has to be compared to another currency, and I don't think gold will count because gold is not a currency.
In order for the dollar to collapse, the finance world needs to be able to flee the dollar for another currency. But what other currency is there to flee to? The finance world REQUIRES a currency to function with, even when things are going to hell. And effectively, the dollar has a monopoly on the market.
They will collapse with respect to gold and silver. But the BRICS currencies, especially the ruble, will increase in value as it has ever since the sanctions. Gold and silver are being bid away from Europe and the US by Asia.
