Global Financial Instability and Central Bank Risk Management Strategies

The recent gold and silver rush can be attributed to central banks' efforts to hedge against perceived risks, rather than a speculative frenzy. This phenomenon is a symptom of a broader issue of global financial instability, which has been exacerbated by the US dollar's de-dollarisation in 1971. Central banks' risk management strategies are driving market fluctuations, highlighting the need for more nuanced understanding of global economic dynamics.
