Bron Suchecki: India's gold swap explained by failure to increase imports

Section: Daily Dispatches

8:10a ET Friday, July 11, 2014

Dear Friend and GATA and Gold:

The Perth Mint's Bron Suchecki sees the Indian government's new gold swap -- the release of central bank gold in India simultaneous to the bank's acquisition of gold (or gold paper) in London -- as a mechanism for taking pressure off the domestic gold market without worsening the government's foreign exchange position. But, Suchecki adds, "as we are dealing with central banks, where transparency even on simple matters is rare to come by, we just don't know what the real motivation is and thus have to resort to speculation."

His commentary is headlined "No Indian Gold Import Policy Change Explains RBI Gold Swap" and it's posted at his blog, Gold Chat, here:
