What is the 'Implied Gold Price' calculated by this skill?

It is a stress-test metric calculated by dividing a central bank's currency liabilities (M0 or M2) by its gold reserves, representing the hypothetical price gold would reach if it became the sole backing for that currency.

Can I customize the currencies and aggregates analyzed?

Yes, users can specify list of entities (e.g., USD, EUR, CNY), choose between M0/M1/M2/M3 aggregates, and select weighting methods like FX turnover or reserve share.

Which data sources are used for the analysis?

The skill pulls data from reputable public sources including the World Gold Council (WGC), IMF International Financial Statistics, the BIS Triennial Survey, and FRED.

Does this tool provide financial investment advice?

No, this is a macroeconomic modeling tool for performing balance sheet pressure tests and scenario analysis; it is not a price prediction or investment advisory service.

Data Science & ML

Calculates implied gold prices and sovereign backing ratios to stress-test currency stability in scenarios where the USD loses its reserve status.

About

This Claude Code Skill implements a macro-financial model based on the 'gold anchor hypothesis,' allowing users to simulate extreme economic shifts where gold becomes the primary monetary anchor. It analyzes central bank balance sheets by calculating the implied gold price needed to support monetary bases (M0) or broad money (M2). By integrating data from the World Gold Council, IMF, and BIS, it provides a data-driven framework for assessing currency leverage, backing ratios, and the global gold gap across major economies like the USD, CNY, and JPY.

Key Features

Implied gold price calculations using weighted and unweighted methodologies
Global currency leverage ranking based on current gold backing ratios
0 GitHub stars
Automated integration with IMF, World Gold Council, and BIS data sources
Visualization of sovereign gold gaps and credit multiplier effects
