Gold Outlook for 2020 – 2021: Currency War & Military War Cycles Collide in 2021! What Will Gold’s Role Be??

11/30/19 INSIIDE Track: Outlook 2020/2021  —  2020 Vision

“As the markets enter the final month of 2019, it is a good time to step back and view the forest for the trees.  The ‘forest’ can be viewed on multiple levels – with the primary emphases on the recurrence and convergence of the 40-Year, 70-Year & 80-Year Cycles in 2019 – 2022.

That applies to the markets, to the Middle East, Europe and overall global geopolitics (including cycles of unification), to cycles of war, to ongoing currency battles and even to earth disturbances (watch late-Dec.).

Within that context, there are several key fundamentals to consider – when assessing the outlook for 2020.

One of those (in no particular order) is the ongoing trade battle between the U.S. and China (that drags many other nations into the fray).

Another is the U.S. Election Cycle that is poised to enter a higher gear.

These two fundamentals are likely to merge in the coming months (as developments in the US/China trade war impact favorability or unfavorability of President Trump)…

In the early-2010’s, INSIIDE Track described primary forecasts for Europe/US relations in 2013 – 2021 (with greatest synergy in and focus on 2018 – 2021).

The first supposition was that America would steadily be isolated – both politically and economically – as a collection of competitive or adversarial nations worked to supplant the US Dollar as the global kingpin of foreign exchange and trade AND sought to unseat America’s increasing power in the absence of a single ‘equal’ competitor.

That sounded a bit more outlandish, back in 2010.

The second was that Europe and the Euro would struggle through much of that period ultimately leading to a dire perception of Europe’s future.  That would then – as described back in 2013 – 2015 – lead to a revised European Union, developing in 2018 – 2021 and likely reaching fruition in 2021 (at the same time War Cycles would peak in America and around the globe… is there a connection?).

All of that was published years before there was a political push for ‘America First’ or the election of a leader that would turn many of the old alliances upside down… and isolate America in the world – without China and Russia needing to do much of the work (at least on the surface).

It was also before that same leader would go on a multi-year quest to delegitimize NATO, drive a giant wedge between the US & Europe (within NATO), and open wide the door for Russia & Turkey to solidify their connections and move toward their own union.”  See Dec. 2019 INSIIDE Track for specific links to gold & silver.


2020/2021 is the culmination of momentous cycles that have been discussed for two decades – most notably focused on a new Currency War and another military war (both culminating in 2021).  With the advent of cryptocurrency and other alternatives to traditional ‘money’ – both paper and metals – some genuine surprises are likely to catch investors flat-footed in the coming years.
