https://gata.org/node/21134 Basel 3 rules will wreck gold price suppression, LBMA warns Bank of England Submitted by admin on Sat, 2021-05-08 12:19 Section: Daily Dispatches 12:29p ET Saturday, May 8, 2021 Dear Friend of GATA and Gold: Pending "Basel III" regulations emanating from the Bank for International Settlements could destroy the clearing and settlement system for “unallocated” -- that is, “paper” or imaginary -- gold and silver, the London Bullion Market Association and the World Gold Council warned the Bank of England this week. In a 58-page protest submitted to the Bank of England’s Prudential Regulation Authority, the LBMA and the World Gold Council complained that the “Net Stable Funding Ratio” provision of the Basel III regulations would require the London bullion banks to hold funds offsetting 85 percent of the value of the unallocated gold they hold for customers, and the banks could not afford this.

Well yes, it has to be manipulated. Can you imagine the consequences of NOT manipulating? Just as LIBOR had to be manipulated. Once TPTB start interfering with destroying markets, they simply can not stop. Of course, QE is itself 'market' (interest rate) manipulation. Markets are dead for the time being.

Seems reasonably straightforward. One is, taking something without the owner's express permission, the other is, erm, taking something without the owner's express permission.

No. All that is needed for gold to rocket, is for the market to prevail. There may be a market soon.

Yes, but is a representation of a pot of money actually a pot of money? ....or an IOU?

I felt the same @ £550/oz

dollar index just dropped below 80.

Try to anticipate how much governments will (might) spend and if they are aiming to reduce debt. Perhaps the %age held should be directly proportional to government debt? Trouble is, some argue the proportion should be 100%, even now.
