So it's not rash speculation to suggest that central banks will prefer to hold on to their gold this year – rather like the increasing (if small) number of private individuals – instead of selling it. As competitive currency devaluations sweep the globe in an all-out effort to fight asset deflation and recession, we think gold will become much more desirable as a reserve asset worth owning, not selling for cash.
