It’s the beginning of a new year which means a chance to look back on what happened and see what the future might bring. 2022 was marked by unrivaled change, uncertainty, and excitement in the markets, but 2023 isn’t going to pull any punches.
Watch the video to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Founder Eric Sepanek and Precious Metals Advisor John Karow review our past predictions, what this year might bring, and why 2023 is shaping up to be a big year for gold and silver.
The Fed’s Big Lie
No matter how consistently the Fed claimed inflation was transitory, we saw the writing on the wall. As inflation ravaged the economy throughout 2022, our prediction was validated, and the government’s lie was exposed.
Consumer behavior indicates that everyday investors weren’t fooled either as demand for physical gold and silver reached record highs. Throughout the past three years, investors flocked to physical gold and silver to hedge against inflation and secure their wealth.

China’s Growing Threat
China has made significant moves on the geopolitical chessboard this year, further confirming our early warnings of the country’s imminent threat to the US dollar and American hegemony. The Biden admin’s limp response to this growing threat only makes the country more vulnerable to China’s dominance on the world stage.
Xi Jinping doubled down on his influence-through-investment strategy by pouring money into developing countries such as fellow BRICS nations. Perhaps most concerning is China’s nearly-successful bid to encourage Saudi Arabia to ditch the dollar in favor of the petroyuan which would destroy USD dominance and further weaken American influence.
Although most of our predictions came true, 2022 was full of unprecedented events and unexpected changes. We’re planning to revise and update our series on the rise of the Petroyuan and China’s global rule throughout this year to make sure our clients and readers have the most up-to-date and accurate information.
