MARC FABER: EMERGING ECONOMIES WILL SUBMERGE SOON; DEVALUATIONS & HIGHER GOLD DEMAND TO FOLLOW

We have an economic slowdown in emerging economies that is very pronounced and I think some emerging economies may be submerging soon, and have actually significant economic problems. Then the question arises, “Will they continue to buy gold?” Say if there was a recession in China, in the downturn, would people buy gold?
I think if the Chinese economy imploded, it is likely that the currency would begin to weaken, the yuan. Or the government would implement even a devaluation of the yuan. It could be the case. If that were the case, then I think that Chinese individual investors would rather shift some of their money into gold which they can buy in China nowadays than keep their funds in the local currency. So I think that’s actually a trouble in Asia and also geopolitical problems in Asia and in other regions of the world may actually lead to rather higher gold demand.
