The fat lady is getting ready to sing on Western style Gold manipulation. Will Russo-Chinese style be any better? Be careful what you wish for. Submitted by GoldFix Substack with additions Translated from VZ Russian News It is necessary to create a new international standard of the precious metals market - Moscow World Standard (MWS), which will become an alternative to the standard of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the Ministry of Finance of Russia said in a letter July 28th. The letter of the Ministry of Finance to industry participants says that "independent international infrastructure" is needed to "normalize the functioning of the precious metals industry." According to the agency, it is "critically necessary" to create it, RIA Novosti reports. In the "fundament of the structure" it is proposed to "put a specialized international precious metal exchange headquartered in Moscow" using the "new international standard MWS". It is also proposed to establish a Price Fixing Committee. Subject to the application of the MWS standard, it will include Central Banks and the largest banks of the EAEU countries represented in the precious metals market. According to the Russian department, it is necessary to "rely on fixing prices in the national currencies of the key participating countries, or on new units of international settlements, such as the new unit of settlements proposed by the President of Russia within the framework of the member countries of the BRICS organization." The Ministry of Finance wants to make membership in this organization attractive to all foreign market participants, especially China, India, Venezuela, Peru and other countries of South America, as well as Africa. The agency expects that such a step will quickly destroy the LBMA monopoly and ensure the stable development of the industry. Recall that the Council of the European Union approved the seventh package of anti-Russian sanctions, including a partial embargo on gold, the inclusion of 55 individuals and legal entities in the blacklist, the expansion of the list of prohibited dual-use goods prohibited for import. Polymetal, the largest producer of primary silver and the second largest gold producer in Russia, is studying the possibility of selling Russian assets. Last Month GoldFix noted the Saudi Arabian intention to refine more gold domestically in a post : Gold refineries to be established in Saudi Arabia soon: Official We wondered rhetorically in that post: Why is this important? Who would need a refinery in country ( Saudi Arabia) that does not mine much gold? Why the need to re-refine Gold you already have? One possibility: Because when you use Gold for international trade, you must make sure the specs are up to snuff. And China has different specs than the LBMA bars. We were wrong, but not far off. The other possibility was that Moscow, no doubt in partnership with China (like Barzini backed Tattaglia in the Godfather) would set the standard for Gold trade specs This was no doubt agreed to by China before hand. China, Russia and The United States negotiate... Conclusion drawn for the Saudis last month: Saudis will be taking delivery of more gold Saudis, Russia, and China are preparing to do Gold related international transactions, likely in Russo-Chinese specs Our advice then and now is this: Do not sell your physical Gold if you can avoid it. You can read more of that Saudi refinery article here What's Next: Historically, after demand for Gold moves to a different region, it is followed by vaults and banks opening up there to transact deals. Finally after both demand and supply are sourced in the same region, the pricing power moves to that timezone in the form of standards and exchange liquidity. That is where we are now. The fat lady is getting ready to sing on Western style Gold manipulation. Will Russo-Chinese style be any better? Be careful what you wish for. [UPDATE: 4:51PM After posting this we noticed a very good analysis from a macro perspective on the topic. Fellow Zerohedge contributor Capitalist Exploits did a piece called: Russia Proposes New Standard To Compete With LBMA. We recommend it to those looking for more insights- VBL] GoldFix subscribers can read more here Poster Comment: Their standard is 99.999% pure. Hang on to gold and silver. They will challenge the LBMA and the COMEX as they trust neither one. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

Whose standard? thanks. “ On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. ” ~ H. L. Mencken
China. A Swiss refiner years ago when he heard of the new Chinese standard told his crew to tel him the first time they saw a Chinese 99.999 pure bar. He hasn't seen one yet. Once the Chinese get hold of gold, they do not sell to Europeans.

My safe was plundered of its contents at the shop after it was moved in there. I saw the brother-in-law of the former manager at the donut shop on the square a couple years ago. I said to him, "You know if there had been some gold in that safe you really would have been in the money." He wouldn't look at me. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
As far as I've seen so far, 9999% is the purest gold bullion out there. I couldn't tell the difference with one more 9. “ On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. ” ~ H. L. Mencken
Chinese bank regulators have levied heavy fines on several banks in two provinces after fake gold was discovered. ;)
