It will then need to make immediate spending cuts. They wouldn't even be allowed to borrowed from the Federal Reserve, which can print dollars and sell them to the Treasury for bonds, because they wouldn't be allowed to borrow money from anyone, period. Why it's called a debt ceiling, and not a debt squooshy thing that is flexible. When the Fed does buys bonds, this is called "monetary dilution" and erodes the underlying value of the dollar. China, Japan, and private investors of course make up a percentage of this, and is the true "market demand for US Debt". The Federal Reserve is filling a need by the amount they lend. This is dilutive to the value of the dollar. It's the Fed borrowing aspect of the continuing funding of running a deficit that is the true criminal in our dollar erosion and loss os spending power, which has sent gold and silver to record highs this year. That is how you know what is really going on.

Many economists offered explanations for why this happened or found a causal relationship in the economy to justify this event. Whatever the reason, understanding how currency and gold values are affected can reveal the answer and maybe even how, where or even when to invest in the future. Can gold go higher? If so how high? To say gold is high due to inflation is immature and shows a lack of knowledge about the subject. Sorry main stream media gold fly by night journalists, your two bit answers don't explain even a portion of the story, nor why that statement isn't accurate right now. To understand this move in gold we must first understand currency and its relationships with hard assets.

Due to the stock market downtrend, bank failures, and emergency FED meetings galore, we learned some interesting diction during this economic downturn. Stagflation, inflation, deflation, recession, depression, V shaped corrections, W shaped corrections, FED rates, LIBOR rates, and what the hell is a CDO? What is the boom/bust cycle? What are cyclical stocks? Value stocks?

Gold had declined about $150 since the early December peak at $1225/oz. The decline was due to fear of Dubai debt and profit taking as a correction was due. As mentioned in my previous article, Abu Dhabi stepped into rescue and provided Dubai with a huge $10 bln bailout.

It gave up about two weeks' gain in a matter of 3 days leading to confusion and chaos in the market. Many traders must be questioning themselves - Is this IT? Has the bubble burst? Do I sell now? I say NO we are not there yet. The bubble has not burst and its time to buy not sell. There is a lot of fear in the market at this point since the Dubai World news.
