A rumor, based on conspiracy, wrapped up in presumption… that’s all it takes to get markets moving these days. And it’s why your gold investments just hit a historic high:
A global consortium of European, Middle Eastern and Asian nations are plotting to stop using the U.S. dollar to trade oil, says the U.K.’s The Independent.
The paper -- which has captured the attention of essentially every financial news outlet -- claims that “Gulf Arabs are planning -- along with China, Russia, Japan and France -- to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar.”
Quite a mouthful, eh? According to the Independent’s “Gulf Arab and Chinese banking sources,” secret meetings between all these nations are already well under way and a potential transition out of the dollar is viable “within nine years.”
Of course, every government mentioned has dismissed the report, but some damage has already been done. The dollar index sank almost a point, to 76.2, just above its yearly low. And gold, as we illustrated above, found a new record high. But is this story for real? |
