Gold Wichtige Frage wegen Ende 1999 / Washington Agreement mT

Hallo!

Der Grund für den explosionsartigen Anstieg des Goldpreises war das sog. Washington Agreement. Kurz gefaßt hatten mehrere Zentralbanken darin ihre Goldverkäufe über die nächsten Jahre beschränkt.

Und weil's so schön war hier nochmal der Goldpreischart vom 28. September 1999:

Hier noch eine Meldung die damals kurz nach der Erklärung der Zentralbanken unter yahoo.com zu finden war:

FOCUS-Euro central banks agree gold sale cap
By Brian Love

<font color="#FF0000">WASHINGTON, 26.09.1999</font> (Reuters) - <font color="#FF0000">Europe's central banks said on Sunday they would limit total gold sales to a maximum
2,000 tonnes over the next five years in a bid to stabilize a market where prices have tumbled on sell-off fears in recent months.</font>

European Central Bank President Wim Duisenberg announced the decision by the 15 central banks at an impromptu news conference and said he believed the United States was sticking solidly to a decision not to sell its gold reserves.

``We hope to remove with this statement uncertainties overhanging the gold market for far too long a period already. We hope we will be successful in this
endeavor,'' Duisenberg said.

<font color="#FF0000">``Gold will remain an important element in global monetary reserves,'' </font>said a joint statement from the banks, stressing that they would not enter the market above and beyond these agreed levels.

Duisenberg said the European central banks involved, who worked the deal out on the sidelines of a meeting of the International Monetary Fund, owned around 70
percent of total monetary gold reserves, or a total volume of about 12,000 tonnes.

The decision to control gold sales over the next five years included the 1,300 tonnes the Swiss had already announced and the sales which had not yet been carried out by the Bank of England, he said.

<font color="#FF0000"> The banks concerned are the European Central Bank and the central banks of Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and England. </font>

The Bank of England announced in May that it planned to sell 415 tonnes out of a total of 715 tonnes in reserves, to the tune of 125 tonnes a year, and it has so far sold 50 tonnes.

``(The uncertainty) increased after the U.K. authorities announced their intention to sell a certain amount of gold. This made us wonder, what will other central banks do? This led us to this agreement,'' Duisenberg said.

An original statement from the 15 banks specified the amount in ``tons'' but later an ECB spokesman clarified this meant metric tonnes.
