    Reflections on a remarkable few weeks for UK DB pension schemes


    UK financial markets have gone into full-blown crisis in the last few weeks. The government’s ‘mini-budget’ announcement on the 23rd September was poorly received by global investors, leading to a sharp spike in UK government bond volatility.

    Central banks come out swinging but despite markedly higher rates, gold is resilient

    Meandering monthly central bank activity continues with net purchases in April


    So far in 2022, central banks’ monthly gold reported activity has been bobbing between net purchases and sales linked to a fairly small number of banks. As such, any significant purchase or sale from those can tip the balance in a given month.

    Central bank digital currencies and the implications for the gold market


    The world appears to be poised for the next step in the evolution of money. Private cryptocurrencies have emerged as a potential new medium of exchange, although their long-term viability is yet to be proven.
