The reasons internationally are very complex. Domestically, I guess the higher-ups continue to buy foreign gold to suppress domestic prices, inducing you to sell gold so they can print more money and raise prices significantly. I estimate that quite a bit of U.S. debt will be sold before and after this discussion. Because if they don't print money soon, the finances won't hold up.
Gold is indeed a safe haven, but it is not a solution to war. Anyone with a bit of sense knows that war is not possible. The fear is currency devaluation.
Currently, this situation of suppressing prices is not without its side effects; it's unbearable for a long time. I estimate that there will be some smart people entering the market again, and this will be a benefit for them.
