IMF plans gold sale to raise $6bn
The IMF hopes to cash in from the soaring price of gold
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has proposed selling some of its gold holdings as part of radical plans to shore up its troubled finances.
It hopes to raise at least $6bn (£3bn) from the sale of 12.97 million ounces of gold, about 12% of the total held.
As the IMF's role as a lender to troubled economies shrinks, so it needs to find other ways to access funds.
Gold has surged recently as traders looked for havens to protect their cash from troubled financial markets. |

Gold Forecaster - Global Watch
In "Global Watch - The Gold Forecaster", we present the global picture, as it relates to gold and its price whilst synthesising these factors to forecast the gold price.
The price of gold is an amalgam of diverse and changing influences, from Currencies to Jewellery, from Investors to Speculators. From Asia, to India, to Australia, to Canada, to South Africa, to the U.S.A. and to Asia, the gold price is of interest to all. It cannot be seen in isolation as a metal, but must be understood as a Global Thermometer measuring monetary, political, economic, stability as well as the raw demand / supply features of the metal itself.
These factors do not merely add up to the price but interact in sometimes strange ways, to produce the gold price. For example, rising prices often lead consequently to rising demand, as the appetite for the metal grows. Its price may rise in one currency and fall in another, at the same time. Overall, it reacts sensitively to the overall level of global stability, which, in turn, gives us the gold price. |
Gold nears $1,000 as stagflation fears grow
By Chris Flood - Published: February 21 2008 17:17 | Last updated: February 21 2008 17:17
Gold hit a record $953.60 a troy ounce on Thursday as oil’s move above $100 and inflation fears provided fresh upward momentum.
Fuelling the rally were fears the US economy could be heading for stagflation after the Federal Reserve published forecasts for lower growth and higher inflation.
Investors expect further US rate cuts to stimulate growth, but worry that easing monetary policy will undermine the battle to control inflation.
Daniel Hynes, metals strategist at Merrill Lynch, pointed to “a multitude” of drivers pushing gold higher. |
