Questions on Two Price Gold System From Washington
Seven Western nations approved a two price system for gold. A $35 per ounce price would apply to central bank transactions while private market prices rise to around $40 to $45 per ounce. The move aims to curb wild speculative buying that drained gold reserves and to separate international settlement pricing from private market demand. The old pool stabilized gold at $35 as the price for dollar gold. the new system replaces that with market-driven private pricing.
