Crescat Capital: Full Faith and Credit of Gold

Published: 03-04-2025, 04:30 pm | Updated: 03-04-2025, 11:05 am

Crescat Capital’s research highlights gold’s resurgence as a monetary anchor amid unprecedented US debt levels.

Currently, US Treasury gold reserves account for just 2% of outstanding government debt—one of the lowest ratios in history and dramatically below the 40% backing seen during WWII. This imbalance creates a compelling case for gold revaluation, with models suggesting prices of $24,000 per ounce if gold-to-debt ratios returned to 17%, or $55,000 per ounce at 40% coverage.

Meanwhile, a significant global monetary realignment is underway as international central banks rapidly accumulate gold reserves, which have reached a 49-year high, while US reserves have fallen to a 90-year low. The US now holds just 20% of global gold reserves—down from over 50% in the 1950s.

With the Treasury market experiencing unprecedented three-year declines and the dollar potentially entering a structural downtrend, Crescat argues the US must join the gold-buying trend to restore fiscal discipline and monetary stability.

Manufacturing Hit a Four-Year High Today. Gold Didn’t Move. Here’s Why That’s the Story.

The ISM Manufacturing PMI just hit 55.6% — its strongest reading since May 2022. Gold barely moved. That non-reaction isn’t a failure to respond. It’s gold caught between two opposing forces that are almost perfectly canceling each other out, and this week’s data decides which one breaks first.

Gold Is Caught Between a Structural Bull Case and a Policy Ceiling. Something Has to Give by Thursday.

Gold opened Monday higher on Iran de-escalation news. By mid-morning it had given most of it back. That sequence is not a coincidence — it is a diagram. A structural bull case, a Fed rate-hike ceiling, a K-shaped economy quietly cracking, and Thursday’s jobs report as the tiebreaker. Here is the full mechanism.

The Same Force That Crushed Gold All Year Just Flipped

The mechanism that sent gold lower for five months just ran in reverse. Trump held off a planned strike on Iran Saturday night. Oil dropped more than 5%. Gold rose. Here is why those two moves are connected — and what this week’s jobs data decides next.
