Section: Daily Dispatches

This article is in two parts. In Part 1 it looks at how prospects for gold should be viewed from a monetary and economic perspective, pointing out that it is gold whose purchasing power is stable, and that of fiat currencies which is not.

Consequently, analysts who see gold as an investment producing a return in national currencies have made a fundamental error which will not be repeated in this article.

First Majestic Produces Silver and Gold in the United States and Mexico

First Majestic is a publicly traded mining company focused on silver and gold production in Mexico and the United States. The company owns and operates the San Dimas silver and gold mine, the Jerritt Canyon gold mine, the Santa Elena silver and gold mine, and the La Encantada silver mine.

In 2022 these mines are projected to produce between 32.6 and 34.6 million ounces of silver equivalent with an all-in sustaining cost of $17.68 to $18.42 per payable silver-equivalent ounce.

The company offers a portion of its silver production for sale to the public. Bars, ingots, coins, and medallions are available for purchase online at First Majestic's bullion store at some of the lowest premiums available:

Part 2 covers geopolitical issues, including the failure of U.S. policies to contain Russia and China, and the consequences for the dollar. 

By analysing recent developments, including how Russia has secured its own currency, the Gulf Cooperation Council's political migration from a fossil fuel-denying Western alliance to a rapidly industrialising Asia, and China's plans to replace the petrodollar with a petro-yuan crystalising, we can see that the dollar's hegemonic role will rapidly become redundant. 
With about $30 trillion tied up in dollars and dollar-denominated financial assets, foreigners are bound to become substantial sellers -- even panicking at times.

The implications are very far-reaching. This article limits its scope to big-picture developments in prospect for 2023 but can be regarded as a basis for further debate. ...
