The global monetary system is being rebuilt, but most investors are watching the wrong signals.
In this interview, Dr. Stephen Leeb gives you the structural framework to understand what’s actually happening to gold, the dollar, and Western financial dominance before the next phase of this transition accelerates.
If you hold physical gold, are considering it, or want to understand where the real money is moving, this is the conversation to watch.
Dr. Stephen Leeb joins GoldCore TV for an explanation of the monetary forces reshaping the gold vs dollar balance of power. As the petrodollar architecture fragments and China executes a gold-backed currency strategy backed by an estimated 50–60,000 tonnes of accumulated reserves, Leeb outlines why physical gold remains the only real hedge in both inflationary and deflationary scenarios and what the dollar reserve currency crisis tells long-term investors right now.
In this interview:
→ Nixon’s 1971 decision and the end of the gold standard: how the loss of monetary discipline created the fault lines visible today
→ China’s gold strategy: 50–60,000 tonnes, Hong Kong vault expansion, and the settlement architecture being built outside Western control
→ mBridge and the China financial system: the SWIFT alternative taking shape across Belt and Road corridors
→ Gold-backed bonds: the Judy Shelton proposal, Scott Bessent’s position in Washington, and what the internal US monetary debate signals
→ Petrodollar collapse mechanics: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the strategic realignment underway
→ Gold price forecast framework: gold as protection against inflation AND deflation, not a speculative trade
→ Physical gold vs paper gold: what Hong Kong’s 130-tonne import flows reveal about real underlying demand
→ AI, US innovation decline, and what China’s open-source model signals about the competitive landscape ahead
