Redknight surely you understand why banks would use or not use gold.
I can believe some banks, that have repaid their QE liabilities would want to hold some gold, but that increase the price of gold, so we have a point of equilibrium, where you don't buy gold as it's too expensive, and may even sell back to the market. Banks make this calculation all the time.
That's why I said that gold would struggle to get over 2,000 dollars an ounce last year, and yes people did say 5,000 dollars by now, and 10,000 dollars an ounce by the end of 2021.
Some of this was backed up by articles of experts.
By memory only BNC agreed roughly with me on the gold price.
