Bankrupt IMF completes gold sale (30Dec10)

The bankrupt IMF (better known as "International Money Fund") has completed it's sale of 400Tonnes of gold it allegedly had.



Selling gold to suppress the gold price. An old trick. Lets hope that the buyers have brains enough to insist upon delivery to their country, rather than allowing the IMF to 'store' it for them in an account.

GOLD in the IMF

The IMF holds a relatively large amount of gold among its assets, not only for reasons of financial soundness, but also to meet unforeseen contingencies. The IMF holds 103.4 million ounces (3,217 metric tons) of gold, worth about $83 billion as of end-August 2009, making it the third-largest official holder of gold in the world.

The IMF's Executive Board recently approved limited sales of gold. Learn more about Gold and IMF.

Gold traded within 0.5 percent of a record after India’s central bank bought 200 metric tons of the metal from the International Monetary Fund, heightening speculation about more official purchases.

December-delivery gold climbed as much as $12.90, or 1.2 percent, to $1,066.90 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange’s Comex division and was at $1,058.70 at 8:45 a.m. local time. The record was $1,072 an ounce on Oct. 14.
