warpig Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Gold demand up 42% as countries abandon US dollar in expectation of geopolitical shift Quote Demand for gold was up 42 percent year on year in the first quarter of 2018 among central banks, the World Gold Council (WGC) statistics say. Russia and Turkey are the largest net buyers. Central banks added a net total of 193.3 tons of bullion in the half of 2018, an 8 percent increase from the 178.6 tons bought in the same period last year. This marks the strongest six months for central bank gold buying since 2015, the WGC notes. ... Quote “Russia has stepped up buying gold in its reserves in the face of new US sanctions and a possible disconnection from the dollar system,” added the analyst. According to Muratov, a similar strategy is now being observed in many countries in Europe and Asia. China, Turkey, Venezuela, Iran, Qatar and Indonesia, are aimed at de-dollarization of economies and foreign trade. All these countries are significantly increasing their gold reserves, the expert says. As the WGC notes in its report, gold buying is not only about hedging currency risks. “In an environment of heightened geopolitical tensions, gold is an attractive asset because it is not anyone else's liability and does not carry any counterparty risk,” the report says. “Gold is already a familiar asset class for central banks, but the changing nature of the gold market – with ever-growing consumption coming from developing economies – means that gold is increasingly aligned with emerging market economic patterns. Central banks may increasingly recognize that the rules of the game are changing.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Russia’s gold reserves smash Soviet-era record as part of Moscow's de-dollarization drive The Central Bank of Russia bought over 92 tons of gold in the three months to the end of September breaking the Soviet peak of 2000 tons in gold reserves seen in 1941, according to a new report by the World Gold Council (WGC). Russia reportedly purchased more gold than any other country in the world, followed by Turkey, Kazakhstan, and India, which bought 18.5 tons, 13.4 tons and 13.7 tons respectively. That marks the highest quarterly net purchase since 1993, when the WGC started tracking the country’s data. Russia’s gold stockpile now accounts for 17 percent of the country's overall foreign exchange reserves. https://www.rt.com/business/442934-russia-central-bank-record-gold/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hecto Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 On 5th November 2018, ex JP Morgan employee in court admits to a large number of manipulative precious metals trades between 2009 and 2015. Hopefully it is the start of JP Morgan getting taken to the cleaners for gold and silver manipulation.

warpig Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 There's also an assumption that the price of gold is manipulated down, traders just want to turn a profit, they play both sides of the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Regarding Venezuelan gold (see below). The world is watching and will understand, as they do with the US sanctions, that the quicker they distance themselves from the US, their vassals and the US dollar the better.
