"Next news will be probably Gold slammed because of Ethiopia rate hike, what a scam..." Close enough, Poland raised their rate by 0.25% yesterday also, so it was not just Brazil lol ( who else? ). Any excuse, except for the real reason, Fiat currency ( yes US's ) needs to be proped up at any cost. It will only make a crash, because delayed, more severe. Prepare by loading up with real Sliver or derivatives ( stocks) backed by same.
