 Hey, if you weren't following the news, a big hit to the U.S. dollar came in June when Saudi Arabia didn't renew its petrodollar deal with the U.S. Here's the deal. The Saudis sell oil primarily in U.S. dollars and have for a long time. So this was a really big hit to our global economic dominance. Now they want other options other than the U.S. dollar. So simple supply and demand, right? What happens if there's less demand for the U.S. dollar? Well, you know what happens if you follow the simple rules of economics. For reasons like this, I buy gold from Birch Gold.
