thanks Bob..why did the Central Bankers make the announcement?
notice..in this announcement they are giving a five year time frame..
they are spelling it out and so strongly? why did they want to change the psychology?
I still think it was to kill the gold carry trade and decimate
them..I am wondering if the financial markets were even more precarious than was let on..

I agree completely, regarding sales. If the bankers weren't going to do more selling than already announced anyway, which sure appears to be the case, there's no change in any policy. They just decided to address market fears arising from imaginary sales. They were undoubtedly pushed to do so now, by representatives of the basket-case third world gold exporters.
Will be an interesting gold market now that it's not afraid of ghosts.

Regarding leasing, this may well reflect a significant collective CB policy change, with an even more profound effect on the market.

John

"The central banks have also agreed not to increase their gold lending arrangements and
derivative operations above current levels
for the next five years. "
do you have an idea about how much they lease now?
