Speaking candidly, Frank Holmes of US Global Investors described the central banks as a cartel that is working together to make regulatory decisions that impact the financial world.
The Investing News Network caught up with Holmes at the PDAC convention and asked about the US Federal Reserve's emergency interest rate cut.
"(Central banks) are all about synchronized taxation and regulation and using monetary policy to stimulate economic activity," he said. "The US is the largest player in that space." He believes negative interest rates in more countries will be bullish for gold.
