Doesn't surprise me since China isn't exporting any of their rare earth elements.
In March, China creates their own Gold commodity exchange.
How will it effect the price of gold?
I look at oil and price of oil. Over $100 a barrel because China and India are major players in the oil industry. Both countries have a combined total of 3 billion people.
Supply and demand....GOLD has no choice but to climb higher along with silver. I seriously doubt if we ever see gold below $1000 an ounce if the bubble bursts.
I am with Donald Trump on this one..we have clueless idiots in Washington DC.
