With the Yuan the reserve currency of the new world order, I think the exchange rate from Yuan based to Dollar based will be somewhat more significant than the price of gold. The new reserve will be used for the new counter IMF, a coalition of corrupt over spending nations.
Will this go smoothly like the IMF? African was a basket case undermining the IMF but the exposure was small. India, Russia and China as underwriters of a new Asian IMF? The IMF has worked because of rule of law, something that will be distinctly lacking in the new world order of Asian, South Africa, South American states.
Even just a few years down the road, you can't have two gold prices, Dollar and Yuan. There will be a very significant change in exchange terms and rates trying to value gold between the two systems. This might even be the moment gold ceases to be a standard. That is worth evaluating.
Oh, and bear in mind, limits on the size of exchange may well be applied. People seem to think that the wider globalisation freedoms of movement of capital under the Dollar based reserve is just going to continue with another reseve, the yuan. You find you simply can not transfer a big chunk of your divided pot out of the Yuan zone anyway.
Big things to evaluate.
I don't think it will.
