Our guest expects the Greenback to continue decent to lower lows, resulting in hyperinflation.

Demand is also heating up for gold as a currency safe haven; the price spiked to $3,600 briefly in India two months earlier in India.Inevitably a PMs backed cryptocurrency, similar to BitCoin is a plausible reserve alternative. With the impending exit of Italy from the EU, Peter Grandich expects the EU to continue to unravel, potentially leading to the dissolution of the EU experiment.
