Record breaking amounts of foreign gold are being removed from the NY Fed
Germany’s Bundesbank Resumes Gold Repatriation; Transfers 120 Tonnes Of Physical Gold From Paris And NY Fed
NEW YORK (The Pontiac Tribune) — Three weeks ago, when looking at the latest NY Fed data of foreign gold held at the largest central bank gold vault in the world, we showed that in the month of November not only was a near record amount of gold withdrawn from the NY Fed, which at 42 tons was the single biggest monthly outflow at the NY Fed in over a decade…
… but that though the end of November, all of the Netherlands’ 122 tons of gold withdrawals had been fully accounted for. This brought up an interesting question:
“… net of the Netherlands withdrawals,
there is some 44 tons of extra gold that has been also quietly redeemed
(by another entity). The question is who: is it now the turn of Austria
to reveal in a few weeks that it too, secretly, withdrew some 40+ tons
of gold from “safe keeping” in the US? Or was it Belgium? Or did the
Dutch simply decide to haul back some more. Or did Germany finally get
over its “logistical complications” which prevented it from transporting
more than just a laughable 5 tons in 2013? And most importantly, did
Germany finally grow a pair and decide not to let “diplomatic difficulties” stand between it
and its gold?
We now know the answer, and it was, indeed, the latter with confirmation coming from the Bundesbank itself. As the German Central Bank announced earlier today, after withdrawing an embarrassing 5 tonnes of gold from New York in 2013, its rate of repatriation soared, and in what appears to have been just the past two months, has transferred a whopping 85 tonnes of gold from 80 feet below street level at Liberty 33 back to Frankfurt!
This is a developing story.
