I'm not sure the Chinese sold any gold? Don't they have a policy of only accumulating? Perhaps they are trying to meet margin calls themselves in desperation?
Could be just propaganda to keep the sheeple away. Baah Baah

Did anybody actually sell 5 tonnes of physical gold or did 5 tonnes worth of futures contracts get sold ?
Similar things happened right before the last big smack down - somebody trying very hard to push the price down.
If you really had 5 tonnes of gold to sell you would you really do it in a few minutes so you got less for it than if you sold slowly ?
I think physical was sold all at once at a specific time to ensure they weren't impacted too seriously by a price drop, or maybe they were predicting falls when other markets open and dumped gold and will buyback at a lower price later.-j-p-shmorgan said:trew said:Ouch said:
