Euro Believed to be in Less Trouble than the US Dollar
The markets have been volatile:
Gold, silver tumble as dollar strengthens
Marketwatch – May 11, 2011
Gold and silver futures lost ground Wednesday, pressured by a rising dollar, as investors booked some profits after two days of gains for precious metals. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/gold-silver-futures-rise-in-electronic-trade-2011-05-11?link=MW_latest_newsDollar in graver danger than the euro
Financial Times, London – May 11, 2011…In the US, the day investors come to accept the reality that inflation, rather than fiscal discipline, is the path of least political resistance may be the day the bond market won’t be as forgiving. Unlike the eurozone, where consumers stopped spending and started saving a decade ago, the highly indebted US consumer may not be able to stomach higher interest rates. The large US current account deficit also makes the dollar more vulnerable to a misbehaving bond market than the eurozone.
In the medium term, we are far more concerned about risks to the US dollar than those posed by the Greek drama to the euro. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/451b5a2e-7bc3-11e0-9298-00144feabdc0.html?ftcamp=rss
As I have written, gold and silver can drop, but in the long run, the trend is for them to rise against the US dollar. LCG’s Dr. Meredith has publicly stated that although the trend for the dollar is down, it will sometimes do better–but that in the long-run it will be basically worthless (during the time of Jacob’s trouble, Jeremiah 30:7; also known as the Great Tribulation, Matthew 24:21.
The Bible shows that Europe will be restructured (Revelation 17:12-13) and that the UK ultimately will be taken over (Jeremiah 30:7), along with the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39). It is likely that the UK will leave the EU prior to the prophesied restructuring in Revelation.
More and more investors are starting to realize that although commodities go up and down, that ultimately, the US dollar is a very risky bet. And one that will cause those who bet in favor of it, to lose very big in a relatively few years.
