What is GDP and How is it Calculated   GDP Genesis GDP comes from the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis. Compiling it is a giant, difficult, never-ending task, one the BEA staff takes seriously. From time to time, we hear stories about political interference, but I think that unlikely. Too many people are involved to keep any such efforts secret. The BEA has a handy, colorful, two-page sheet on its website that explains today’s GDP in big letters. Here is how they define it.

So when I started studying the markets again in 2018 after my two-year sabbatical, it was the first thing I noticed. “The plumbing beneath the banking system is blocked,”   I wrote .

Gold Ounce to IMF Special Drawing Rights Chart This Chart lets you see this pair's currency rate history for up to 10 years! XE uses highly accurate, live rates. This shows how the value of US Dollar relates to SDR as expressed in US Dollar to Gold(XAU). When it takes more us dollars to pay for an SDR in terms of Gold (AUX); that means the US Dollar is WEAKENING! My Comment: A year ago it took about $950 to pay for one SDR in Terms of ozs. of Gold. Today it takes about $1200 of US Dollars to pay for one SDR in Terms of Gold; thus, the value of the US Dollar has dropped in terms of Gold and the SDR World Monetary Currency. This is a trend line for replacement of the US Dollar as the World Reserve Currency by the IMF(INternational Monetary Fund), i,e, the SDR will be the new World Reserve Currency in lieu of the US Petro Dollar.
