This is how gold behaves during an energy driven stagflation shock where the Fed's reaction function becomes severely trapped.
Even worse, current debt-to-GDP levels completely rule out a Volcker-style rate shock to kill inflation. Squeezing rates that high today would trigger instant fiscal insolvency.
Gold went up 8 fold from the 1976 low to the 1980 high. In today's terms, that’s equivalent to $32,000 gold over 5 years.
