<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EdThelorax, post: 3262780, member: 99854&quot;]This is a much more complex question than it may appear. First we must ask which CB&#039;s are buying?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a nice graph that shows that the top 3 Cb holders of gold (US, Germany and Italy) have not changes their holdings in the last 18 years.&nbsp; 3 of the top ten have dis-hoarded&nbsp; or sold (France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands) The UK could be added to this as their sales have removed them from the top 10.</p><p>That leaves 4 in the top ten that have added since 2000 (Russia, China, japan and India)</p><p><a href="http://bmg-group.com/international-gold-reserves-by-central-bank-by-country/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://bmg-group.com/international-gold-reserves-by-central-bank-by-country/" rel="nofollow">http://bmg-group.com/international-gold-reserves-by-central-bank-by-country/</a></p><p><img src="http://bmg-group.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/international-gold-reserves-central-bank-country-2018.08.09-1024x576.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>As to why they have added, you can just &quot;trust&quot; the other poster as to the reason. Maybe he has some inside information from these countries that he isn&#039;t sharing.</p><p>Here is an article from those &quot;fever dreaming conspiracy nuts&quot; over at Forbes.</p><p><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonconstable/2018/09/11/central-banks-on-gold-buying-spree-over-dollar-worries/#214d3f9d1fc2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonconstable/2018/09/11/central-banks-on-gold-buying-spree-over-dollar-worries/#214d3f9d1fc2" rel="nofollow">https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonconstable/2018/09/11/central-banks-on-gold-buying-spree-over-dollar-worries/#214d3f9d1fc2</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A very important point that should be addressed is gold &quot;leasing&quot; which is basically loaning physical gold. This trick allows the holder to keep the gold on their books even though they no longer possess it. It also allows the leased gold to be sold, in which case it would also appear on the books of the buyer. That would be a topic to be addressed in a separate reply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
