China and the United States are probably cooperating for the time being in suppressing the price of gold so that China can obtain gold to hedge its foreign exchange surplus of U.S. dollars without collapsing the dollar's value or exploding the gold price, China gold market expert Koos Jansen tells Sprott Money News in an interview today.
Jansen, a consultant to GATA, adds that he expects China's next official announcement of its gold reserves to be in the range of 4,000 to 5,000 tonnes.
