The Price Of Gold From 2021-22 Has Long Rejected ‘Bidenflation’

Considering the price of gold throughout 2021, it averaged out to roughly $1,798/ounce, meaning the value of the dollar actually rose around 3 percent right at the time that the economy-sapping tax that is government spending continued under Biden, and allegedly caused “inflation.” To be clear, government spending is the worst tax of all exactly because it substitutes central planning of resources by the government for that of the private sector. Still, it logically doesn’t cause higher prices, or “inflation,” and it didn’t if gold is to be believed.

    Gold rises with new record

    “These tariffs create a strong tailwind for gold,” Bank of Montreal analysts wrote in a note. “Not only because of their inherent inflationary effects but also as the USA’s increasingly hawkish foreign policy may accelerate de-dollarisation plans.”
