Turning now to the dollar, there's some major movement in the U.S. economy with major geopolitical implications. Let's go ahead and put this up here on the screen from the Financial Times. I'm going to read a little bit about this. The dollar sinks to a four-month low as gold soars past $5,000 and the yen drops. So there's a lot of stuff kind of going on behind the scenes. The simultaneous spike in the price of gold to $5,000 an ounce and the dollar sinking to a low combined with some of the things that are happening in the Japanese markets. Nobody is fully understanding exactly, but I'll just read from what the general consensus on Wall Street.
They say the dollar, analysts said, is suffering from the concerns over a potential government shutdown situation. down 0.6% on Monday against a broader group of major currencies, extending losses sparked by the Greenland crisis of last week. U.S. risks pushed investors out of the dollar, and they sought safety in precious metals, sending gold to an all-time high. And the surge in yen has come as traders speculate that the U.S. and Japan could be lining up their first coordinated intervention in currency since the G7 acted to weaken it after the 2011 earthquake. So that kind of explains the broader picture for us. all of those things. However, if you put D1B guys, the next one up there on the screen for some of the implications, gold and silver also showed you some interesting, you know, reversals that happened at the end of the day.
So it's all just very strange. And I think that the volatility is broadly just part of the instability right now in the global system. So If you put the next one up there on the screen, just to look at the several currencies all rising against the U.S. dollar, what you see is all of these different currencies that have been rising against the dollar at various different percentages. And I think that this is a direct consequence really of several factors. So instability in our current fiscal system, right? So we have a partial government shutdown, which is now looming. Greenland, which had tariff risk. You know, we didn't even get this in the show.
