In June the UK received a gold shipment worth $150 million dollars from Argentina. Most likely, the gold was sent by the central bank of Argentina (BCRA) to be used as collateral in the London Bullion Market.
So now that 3 tonnes is on Argentina’s books as well as elsewhere…If Argentina focused on continuing to get their real rate of inflation down, they would get a far greater effective return than any lease rate received on gold (particularly if risk weighted)
What a bonehead Millei is. He could always have written juicy call options against the gold he had in his vaults and kept it safe and sound in his own country,(only surrendering it if he HAD received a nice return on it, which I am sure his fellow Argentinians, seeing the tricks the Fed was pulling with Germany's gold reserves, would have appreciated. The guy is a WEF-bot all the way.
"Ask us at the Bundesbank what our gold holdings mean for us." (Just don't ask us at the Bundesbank what our gold means for you, because it's not for you.) Those crazy Americans, you know, the ones who used to insist(during the honest years 1790-1932) that their money read "Payable on demand for gold," well they're not like us. They're not so honest anymore either- we keep asking for our gold back and they won't answer our emails.
BIG MISTAKE.
Thanks for the article
