Sales of the U.S. Mint Gold Eagles surged last week as investors were spooked by the emergency Fed meetings. As several news sources reported last week, this was the first time both the President and Vice President “unexpectedly” met with the Fed Chairman to discuss the state of the American and global economy.
In addition, according to the news release, SuperStation95 – TWO MORE! Closed-Door, Expedited Meetings of Federal Reserve:
After Monday’s expedited, closed-door meeting of the Federal Reserve, Chair Janet Yellen met with Obama and Biden in an extraordinary meeting. Then, the fed called another, “expedited meeting” for Tuesday, April 12 to discuss a “Bank Supervisory Matter” and now, has called yet a THIRD closed-door meeting for Wednesday, 13 April, over “financial markets . . .”
The calling of three, closed-door meetings of the federal reserve Board of Governors and an extraordinary meeting with the President AND Vice-President, signals something is very serious; and the answer seems to rest with today’s meeting about a “Bank Supervisory Matter.”
Which bank?
Which bank has a “supervisory” matter so serious that it had to be taken-up by the federal reserve Board of Governors at an emergency, closed-door meeting?
Many rumors were spread around the blogosphere as to why there were several emergency Fed meetings. One such rumor is the U.S. government being force to enact martial law due to a systemic breakdown of the banking industry. Other rumors floating around are tied to the ramifications of the U.S. Dollar and U.S. Treasury market when China launches its gold-backed Yuan tomorrow, April 19th.
Regardless, the rumors had investors spooked enough to purchase the most Gold Eagles in a week since Jan 11th. Last week, the U.S. Mint sold 33,000 oz of Gold Eagles and 6,000 Gold Buffalos. That’s a lot of Gold Eagles sold in a week compared to 38,500 oz sold in the entire month of March:
