Nikkei Asian Review reports “China sees new world order with oil benchmark backed by gold.Yuan-denominated contract will let exporters circumvent US dollar”
GAME CHANGER?
The report notes: China is “expected” to launch crude oil futures contract priced in yuan and convertible into gold” and “analysts” say could be a “game changer”. (“expected” by whom?/”analysts” cited were gold bugs)
We reported back in April about Russia and China supposedly working on a gold payments system.
A gold payments system is different than a government backing its currency with gold. Under a pure gold payments system the seller of goods accepts only gold as payment.
The proposed system would have China paying for oil in Yuan and to make such payments more attractive, the Yuan could be converted into gold.
Will China actually create/propose such a payment system?
Will Saudi Arabia accept the new Chinese Yuan convertible to gold payment?
Will China even request/require that they do?
If created, how often would sellers convert their Yuan to gold?
How much gold would be drained from China?
What impact would that have on gold demand internationally.(countries wouldnt need gold to trade, China would need gold to back its trades)
A major impact would occur if a country required gold as payment for its goods.
In this instance, China MAY be offering to PAY in gold backed Yuan not dollars.
