It is apparent that investors worldwide think that the economy might be in a dangerous status.

Gold prices have continuously been going up, and the Yen value is also increasing.

The reason behind those movements stems from the uncertainty of the global economy.

Gold has been the best option to invest in because of two main factors. One is that inflation is possible because of monetary easing policies executed by the central banks in developed countries. The other is that under an unstable financial situation as we are experiencing, capital tends to be protected in case of economic recession. Gold is one of the options to safeguard money since Gold holds permanent value to some extent.

The Yen is also one of the safe assets.

A rise in the yen exchange rate partly indicates that investors are preparing to experience the subsequent depression.

The question is whether those acts mitigate the risk of the coming depression.

Gold is sucking money that could potentially benefit the sector that needs money. A strong yen suffocates the Japanese economy, which can eventually negatively influence other economies. On the other hand, investors can use money sucked by Gold to promote a capable economic existence when the next recession eliminates inefficient people and companies from the economy. The same goes for buying Yen. Therefore, I  can say that protecting capital by, for example, buying Gold and Yen is not more than the preparation for the coming Financial crisis.

At this point, it is rational to conclude again that financial recession is inevitable. Since the beginning of this year, I have reached the same conclusion, but it probably indicates that the decision reflects the truth.
