Big changes in the global financial system are coming in the second half of 2023. The BRICS alliance of nations is expected to announce next month the establishment of a gold-backed currency. Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve will launch Fed Now later this month. Fed Now will be a new system to instantly transfer financial payments between institutions.
Before I review today’s top headlines, I must tell you that Doc Burkhart is not here today. Doc had an accident in his home yesterday. Thank God he is ok and resting at home. Doc fell in his shower and got a deep gash in his head. He blacked out and was transported by ambulance to our local hospital emergency room and was released several hours later. Please pray for Doc. He told me today he had a severe headache. All of us want him to recover quickly and return to work.
Sitting in for Doc is one of our team members. Mr. Eddie. Eddie came to us from the US Marine Corp and is currently serving as our new Podcast Production Manager.
