You may get your wish. If the Chinese actually follow through with raising the Yuan, that could have a positive effect on our trade deficit with China and (hopefully) strengthen the dollar. A stronger dollar should put downward pressure on PMs. How long will that take? ...who knows? There are a lotta assumptions in all this. It's equally likely that the Chinese are just "jawboning" the currencies and don't really plan on doing anything. It'll be interesting to watch.
In that situation, wouldn't the Chinese just be able to buy all the rest of the available gold and PMs on the market for less with the mountains of US dollars they have sitting around rotting in storage?
