There's just no getting past the supremacy of the dollar, much as skeptics of American influence wish for it or lonely yen bulls cry for relief.

Lower imports by India, the world's second biggest consumer of the precious metal, could limit a rally in global prices that hit a record high earlier this month on expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this year.

The Federal Reserve's lack of transparency comes amid reports that countries are removing their gold and other assets from the U.S. in the wake of the unprecedented Western sanctions imposed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Gold researcher Jan Nieuwenhuijs today points out that the World Bank, a Washington-based international entity that seems intended in large part to keep the developing world tied to the U.S. dollar, has just published its "Gold Investing Handbook for Asset Managers."
