Question 1

What is a dollar revaluation?

Accepted Answer

A dollar revaluation occurs when the government officially changes the dollar's value relative to gold or other assets. Historically, in 1934, the US revalued gold from $20.67 to $35 per ounce, effectively devaluing the dollar by 41%.

Question 2

How would a dollar revaluation affect my savings?

Accepted Answer

While your bank balance would remain the same numerically, the purchasing power of those dollars could decrease significantly. If gold were revalued to back current debt levels, the cost of goods and services would theoretically rise to match the new monetary standard.

Question 3

What indicators suggest a dollar revaluation might occur?

Accepted Answer

Key indicators include: record central bank gold purchases, rising debt-to-GDP ratios, BRICS currency development, digital price infrastructure deployment, and gold reaching new price highs. Our Risk Index tracks these factors in real-time.
