Secretary Car Hele Declines Opinion on Gold Export Risk
Secretary Car Hele declined to state the effect on the gold reserve from a $1,000,000 shipment abroad. The move would reduce the treasury gold reserve to about $106.8 million. Since July 1 withdrawals for redemptions have dropped the reserve by $1.5 million, though mint gains offset most losses for a net dip of about $670,000. Officials suspect a broader export movement given recent shipments and high sterling exchange, hoping demand softens with the fall crops.
