Hallo, Elli,

Death of petrodollar?

Könnte ein zukünftiger goldbasierter Ölhandel zu einer "Parallelverschiebung der "Gold-Preis-Kurve" führen?

Edit:
'IF Jim Grant's scenario works out, we could find that oil can really only be acquired if one has some gold. (I'll ignore nationalization, for the sake of discussion.) What that would mean is a huge deflation. The inflation that Grant shows in his graphs would reverse. Most of the economy would simply vanish. Nobody would be willing to buy Treasuries. They MIGHT be willing to buy bonds issued by Exxon or Aramco or some other oil company, but only after a pretty good look at the prospects for future oil production by the company.

At the present time, one can buy oil and Las Vegas casinos with dollars conjured out of thin air. If, in the future one can only buy oil with gold, then I think that the casino side of the dollar trade essentially blows up. The Treasuries would become 'Not Worth A Continental'.
