Buygold a look back in time.

Yep something to think about but who knows if they could be trading with some of the Brics in limited quantities and it could take advantage of the supply deficit. Meanwhile we have a printing press going and loss of billions with multi fraud going on in demo states. Not to mention in their presence of weakness during Biden war opportunities and money meant for citizens going to Ukraine and more fraud and theft of billions meant for our citizens going out the window.

 

A look back in time. What were the ratios in the stock markets during the inflation peak in1980 before they used interest rates which are generally bearish to the markets to bring down inflation. Also what was the physical ratio with the markets. Phyz vs the Stock Market Jan. 1980…

The XAU to gold ratio in January 1980 fluctuated, but generally remained low, nearing a historic low point of approximately 1.0 at one stage in the month. This means that the price of one ounce of gold was roughly equal to the value of the entire Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index (XAU) at that specific time. 
Here are some key figures for January 1980:
  • Gold Price: Gold reached a nominal peak of $850 per ounce on January 21, 1980. The average price for the month was around $677 or $614.75, depending on the data source.
  • XAU Index: The Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index (XAU) was established on January 19, 1979, with a base value of 100.00. Historical data suggests that around the time of the gold price peak, the ratio of the Dow Jones Industrial Average to gold (a related metric) fell to a low of 1.29 ounces in January 1980. This indicates that the XAU index value itself was likely near the price of gold in dollar terms, leading to a ratio near 1.0. 
The low ratio reflected a period of immense investor panic and high inflation, where physical gold prices surged dramatically while the broader stock market (and thus gold mining stocks comprising the XAU) experienced relative weakness.
