Gold down 38% this morning, Russia buys 150 tons, Gold SKYROCKETS right back to yesterday's price

Gold Rises After Unusual Russian Central Bank Gold Buying Announcement

Russia’s central bank bought about 150 metric tons of the metal this year, announced Governor Elvira Nabiullina yesterday. The pronouncement immediately created buying in the market, prompting gold to rise to a two week high at $1,200 an ounce.

Head of Russian Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina -Jr/Bloomberg

Russia's central bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina told the lower house of parliament about the significant Russian gold purchases. She is an economist, head of the Central Bank of Russia and was Vladimir Putin's economic adviser between May 2012 to June 2013.

This announcement is unusual and to our knowledge has not happened before. The announcement by the Russian central bank governor was likely coordinated with Putin and the Kremlin and designed to signal how Russia views their gold reserves as a potential geopolitical and indeed financial and currency war weapon.

Gold currently constitutes for around 10% of the bank's gold and forex reserves, she added. Official purchases were about 77 tons in 2013, International Monetary Fund data show.
