[Editorial] The record-high gold and silver prices are not a cause for celebration... This is a warning of "currency collapse" rather than a "bull market" signal

Gold and silver prices are advancing in tandem, hitting record highs.

Some market participants are excited about this, calling it the “prelude to a huge rally.” But applauding and celebrating at this moment would be a misreading of the situation. The surge in gold prices is not a celebration cannon fire, but a warning.

This movement is not simply a rise in commodities. More fundamentally, it is a signal that the dominant monetary system is shaking. The scene playing out in the market is less about “opportunities for wealth” and more about the “collapse of monetary credit.” This is a live scene of currency failure happening in real time.

History always warns in similar ways. The phase of abnormal precious metal surges is usually when financial instability reaches its peak. Every time, regardless of nominal prices, the stock market suffers significant damage in “real value.” Numbers may seem solid, but in reality, they are not. Actual purchasing power is quietly collapsing behind the scenes.

When the value of currency wavers, people flee to tangible assets.

The changes happening at the market’s core are quite simple. While the public celebrates “account balances increasing,” the actual purchasing power of the dollar is rapidly weakening. When currency values fluctuate, the first thing people do is: abandon cash and flee to tangible assets.

The bond market is changing especially quickly. The premise that the US can sustain up to $40 trillion in debt is now gradually losing credibility. For decades, US Treasuries have been regarded as “risk-free assets” in global finance. But that is no longer the case. Treasuries may no longer be safe assets but a giant ticking time bomb rolling forward on credit guarantees.

Institutional investors are reducing holdings of Treasuries and increasing holdings of gold and silver, not for profit from price differences, but as an escape from increased risk. On a sinking ship, passengers do not calculate “returns,” but look for an exit first.

Nominal asset increases do not equate to wealth.

The mechanism is simple enough to be chilling. Selling bonds causes interest rates to rise. Rising interest rates shake the economy. Then, central banks are forced to flood the market with liquidity to support it. The cycle of debt to cover debt repeats, increasing the money supply, and asset prices soar faster than tangible goods. As a result, gold and silver prices rise again.

What awaits at the end is not “prosperity,” but the destructive surge warned by economists. On the surface, everything seems to be rising. Stocks, real estate, cryptocurrencies are all going up. The problem is, this rise is not wealth. It is merely an illusion caused by the decline in currency value making asset prices appear to rise.

Even if securities account balances increase, the things you can buy with that money actually decrease. Even if apartments rise to 3 billion won, if a bowl of Jajangmyeon costs 30,000 won, what does that number mean? An increase in “nominal assets” has nothing to do with “improving living standards.”
