Goud breekt wederom uit waarbij het gele edelmetaal zonet een nieuwe All Time High neerzette op 1260 dollar/ounce! Het zijn fantastische tijden voor goudbeleggers… al 10 jaar lang! 🙂 Tevens een duidelijke uitbraak van het ‘Cup & Handle’ patroon: koersdoel 1.455 dollar/ounce! Hold on tight… 
Ondertussen sijpelen steeds meer berichten door in de media dat de Chinese centrale bank stiekem overal ter wereld goud aan het kopen is. Zo was er dit onderdeel van een artikel op CNN Money:
China is considered a stealth buyer of gold, said Boris Schlossberg, director of currency research at Global Forex Trading. As the world’s largest producer of the metal, China often buys gold from its own mines and doesn’t report those sales publicly. But in April 2009, China did admit to having added 454 tonnes, or a 76% increase, to its reserves since 2003. Analysts suspect the country is continuing to buy gold and could in fact, be the world’s largest buyer consistently. It simply doesn’t reveal it’s pro-gold stance proudly, however, because China is also the world’s largest holder of U.S. Treasurys. Announcing an aggressive gold buying spree is not in China’s best interest because, for one, it might push gold prices higher. Secondly, it could devalue the U.S. dollar, which would subsequently lessen the worth of the country’s portfolio of U.S. government bonds, Schlossberg said.
