Soaring gold prices are a bad omen for the dollar
After the global instability which characterised 2024, there is widespread hope that this coming year will provide some much-needed respite from chaos. Investors seem to disagree, though, at least if we look at the asset everyone is talking about this January: gold. The consensus seems to be that gold will be a strong performer in 2025 just as it was in 2024 — which, implicitly, means investors are betting that many more global changes are afoot.
Gold started 2024 at $2046 per ounce. On 1 January this year, it was priced at $2622 — an increase of just over 28%. For context, in that same period the S&P500 index only saw total returns of around 25%. Even in a good year for the stock market, those who parked their money in gold found themselves laughing all the way to the bank.

Foreign phone sales plunge 47% in China, spelling trouble for Apple
- In November, foreign mobile phone shipments in China stood at 3.04 million units, down 47.4% year on year, according to CNBC calculations using official Chinese data.
- Apple accounts for the majority of foreign mobile phone shipments in China, with major competitors like Samsung forming just a tiny part of the market.
- The figures highlight the mounting pressure Apple is under in the world’s largest smartphone market as a result of rising competition from domestic brands.
Sales of foreign phone brands in China plunged in November, according to official data released Friday, underscoring further pressure on Apple, the biggest international handset vendor in the country.

40 Percent of Murders in USA Take Place In Soros-Backed Districts
According to a report from the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), 40% of homicides in the US take place in districts with a Soros-funded prosector.
As Pamela Geller states, Biden should have given him jail time instead of giving George Soros the Medal of Freedom.
Geller cites an article by Paul Schnee, in which he states, “What’s next? Is Biden going to posthumously award the Medal of Freedom to Benedict Arnold?”
“The amount of serious damage Soros has done to America is incalculable. His lifetime of public mischief has been spent wearing the mask of compassion to undo our civilized order by subverting all of our institutions particularly academia and undermining law & order by financing D.A.s whose main interest is in protecting criminals at the expense of justice for their victims. The man is a traitor, but BLM and Antifa love him.”
