Mexico Buys Gold While Dumping US Dollar

The US dollar has been dropping and some in Mexico are trying to do something about it:

Bank Of Mexico Buys 100 Tons Of Gold In February, March
Wall Street Journal – May 4, 2011
Mexico’s central bank purchased almost 100 metric tons of gold in February and March, another signal that emerging markets are likely to steadily raise their gold reserve holdings, industry participants say…The Bank of Mexico traditionally holds most of its reserves in U.S. dollar-denominated investments. http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110504-722917.html

Mexico ramps up gold reserves at dollar’s expense

Mexico massively ramped up its gold reserves in the first quarter of this year, buying over $4 billion of bullion as emerging economies move away from the ailing U.S. dollar, which has dipped to 2-1/2-year lows…

Sergio Martin, chief economist for HSBC in Mexico, said the government probably saw gold as a highly liquid asset that would reduce exposure to the falling greenback.

“They’re probably thinking that getting out of dollars and into gold makes sense because we know that the dollar has some trend to depreciate in the near future at least,” said Martin. “I don’t think they’re going to lose money with this.”   http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/04/mexico-gold-idUSLDE7431OZ20110504

Notice that the belief is that since the trend for the US dollar is to depreciate, the Mexicans are realizing that it is to risky to own.  Eventually, foreigners are going to dump the US dollar completely (cf. Habakkuk 2:3,5,6-8).  But before they do that, certain steps need to be taken–and Mexico has taken some steps itself.  BTW, although gold has dropped in value in the past week, it still is worth more in US dollars than the Mexicans would have paid for it in February and March.

The idea of gold could be accumulated, while the US dollar tanks is discussed on page 333 of my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. And this appears to be what will happen, as well is what is starting to happen now.

The financial world is somewhat starting to understand some of this–but few really know how bad it will get. The biblical reality is that US dollar will ultimately be worthless and the USA ultimately taken over because of its sins and debt. Increase interest gold (and silver) suggest decreased interest in the US dollar.
