A last minute standoff between France and the United States was avoided, clearing the Basel accord that ended the latest monetary crisis. The deal buys time to repair the international monetary system and mends strained European American ties. France pressed for a common market gold bloc with a higher official gold price, while the U.S. favored a rival plan that would lower it. The current market price spans about $120 per ounce, roughly triple the official level.
