Gold Revaluation- What is it?

What is gold revaluation, you may ask?

Throughout American history, the US government has revalued gold. This means that the price of gold, over time, is marked up or increased in value. But why would this be done, you may ask? That’s the purpose of this posting: to help the reader understand why the US government would embark on another gold revaluation- something it has done numerous times before.

The primary purpose of revaluing gold today is to create higher gold prices for the over 8,100 tons of gold that the US government purportedly holds (the last audit was in 1953). With higher gold prices, the US government can utilize this’ newfound’ wealth to help offset the massive sums of debt accumulated over the past fifty years or more, countering the dangerous levels that today's debt poses. This is essentially the sole purpose of gold revaluation.

Currently, the U.S. government values gold on its books at $42 per ounce. If gold were to be revalued significantly higher, that increase in value could help offset the immense debt accumulated over the past fifty years or more. This is the fundamental concept of revaluation.

Today, gold prices are at an all-time high in the $3,300 range. Discussions on gold revaluation range from today’s $3,000 levels to upwards of $20,000, $30,000, or even higher per ounce. So you can see the magnitude of this possibility: gold revaluation.

Here's the movement in gold prices over the past forty-five years, or more. (As of Apr-25-2025)

Possible gold revaluation is as sigificant as the Post-WWII Bretton Woods system as Grok illustrates for us below.

Summary:

We at Gratke Wealth, LLC, are not yet ‘hanging our hat' on these lofty gold price targets discussed above. Still, if you recall, we illustrated in our client newsletters in February, March, and June of 2024 that gold could experience an eight-fold increase based on the past fifty years of history, suggesting a $8,000 price per ounce. Again, these are observations and are not declared price targets or recommendations.

Gold revaluation is an evolving narrative within the multi-decade framework of global money and finance. Today’s post is just the tip of the iceberg regarding this topic. Expect more information to follow as we learn more. However, we at Gratke Wealth, LLC, fully recognize that the current practice of the federal government printing a trillion dollars in new debt every 90 to 100 days is not sustainable. This bubble will burst on its own if not addressed. Gold revaluation is one attempt to right the ship, so to speak.

Of course, our government could start by spending less money…

Ok, I'll show myself out now... (yes, sarcasm)

As always, thanks for reading.
