Fireworks for Gold
In 2007
It’s not a secret: Beijing’s coffers are bulging with a trillion greenbacks.
And every day they are worth less. So Beijing is doing the sensible thing— diversifying.
First stop: gold.
According to the IMF, China holds just 1.4% of its total foreign exchange reserves in gold. The average is 5% worldwide.
If Beijing decided to rebalance its reserves with 5% gold, it would have to buy almost a year’s global gold production!
So even a few percentage-points shift to gold could instantly create a supply crisis forcing gold up to historic highs, close to $831!
