BullionStar.com released an overview of countries repatriating their gold. Why? Simple the countries don't trust the custodians. Who are the custodians. When the world's gold is in London and New York (remember Die Hard story line?), and you are Russia, India, China, Turkey, et al, probably better to have it home don't you think?

Well that didn't take long. After the Feds actions late last week with Not QE4 continued injections via the repo markets. The Fed in anticipation of helping the markets start off well on Monday, the Fed has created the YES this is QE5 package. What has been released:
With the chaos unfolding hourly, keeping your eye on the ball can be hard through all of the noise. Take Boeing, taping their $13B credit line to keep the lights on. With US Corporate debt at all time highs, time to make list of who is in for a collapse. Small, mid, and large caps it is all the same issue. Borrowing of money for stock buyback or pay dividends to juice stock prices will not hold up anymore. Simple issue the businesses do not justify the prices, but taking stock out of the market sure helps.

With the onset of a pandemic. The medical community is at the forefront. Money is moving into the government agency that will be tackling the problem (Department of Health & Human Services). The additional budget they are receiving makes them the doll at the ball. But before Coroanavirus, DHS already is the biggest of them all. I am sure looking at the budgets of HHS and SSA, DoD only wishes that had that kind of money.
HHS is 2x of DoD's budget
HHS is 58x the budget of NASA
And due to the unfolding events, DHS will extend its lead.
