A quixotic group of Americans is in Durban alleging a financial conspiracy it says is blighting the economies of gold producing countries, writes Des Parker.

A gold market analyst who has long suggested the federal government was involved in manipulating the price of gold says he discovered proof of his allegations in six-year-old Federal Reserve Board meeting minutes.

The charges, first made by the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee in 1999, are allegedly borne out in Federal Reserve Board meeting minutes dated Jan. 31, 1995, which were discovered by GATA analyst Reginald Howe, who has filed a lawsuit against the Fed, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Bank for International Settlements and "various investment houses."

FRANKFURT, Aug. 24 -- At first glance it is indeed difficult to understand how a market, such as the gold market, which shows a chronic production deficit, is decaying during decades and how this results in prices that force an ever- increasing number of gold producers to abandon their business.

In the free market, which in the case of gold is being "made" by the leading business and investment banks, they have to take a good look at the solvency of their own clients as well their counterparties, when trading with derivatives.

One of the most interesting things about this job is that you get to rub shoulders with the world's financial movers and shakers.

This is great cocktail party conversation fodder for impressing your fellows about Bob, Alan and Larry and how their tennis games are improving.

In this neck of the woods, however, the party chat about Dominique, Jean-Claude, Hans and Wim tends to be less interesting than the punch bowl.
