The last two months have seen silver dramatically underperform gold… …interestingly tracking the dollar index… …after reaching record ‘lows’ against the yellow metal. The surge in silver (relative to gold) began around the same time as the gold market “broke” with the COVID crisis causing geographical shortages of physically deliverable gold for futures contracts (decoupling the price of gold futures from the physical price for that […]
[Editor’s note: The move to annexe the West Bank has almost no support within Israel, least of all with the usually militant settler community. This is purely a Trump-Netanyau plan and characteristically, it ignores any and all international law. The timing of this move is also cynically orchestrated to take advantage of the distraction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ian] _________HaaretzIsraeli Annexation Explained: What Is Netanyahu […]
