BNC#9 | The case for gold: Meryl Pick on what comes next for the world you built wealth in

Loading player...
Central banks aren't buying gold to make money. They're buying it because they no longer fully trust the system the rest of us take for granted. Old Mutual's Meryl Pick takes BNC#9 back to a hotel in New Hampshire in 1944, to the deal that made the dollar the centre of the financial universe, and asks what happens if that deal is quietly coming apart. Along the way: why one in four ounces of newly mined gold now ends up in a central bank vault, why India has brought most of its gold home, and why she believes your portfolio needs more gold than it did for most of the last 40 years, whether or not you've already missed the rally.
