En pleno siglo XXI, estamos como en la época de los piratas, que acechaban los barcos que transportaban oro entre América y España, para abordarlos y hacerse con el botín...
Hay cosas que nunca cambian (aunque sí que se ha sofisticado muchísimo la política de comunicación, con la que pretenden hacer creer que todo lo que está sucediendo no tiene nada que ver con esto)...

Abro este hilo para comentar y postear noticias sobre el mercado del oro que aportan información geopolítica.
Empezando por esta noticia que nos desvela que la guerra con Irán está cantada:

The Iranian geopolitical tension is supporting gold as Britain, America and France have delivered a clear message to Iran, sending six warships led by a 100,000 ton aircraft carrier through the highly sensitive Strait of Hormuz.
Reuters report that the EU has agreed to freeze the assets of the Iranian central bank and ban all trade in gold and other precious metals with the Iranian Central Bank and other public bodies in Iran.
According to IMF data, at the last official count (in 1996), Iran had reserves of just over 168 tonnes of gold. The FT reported in March 2011 that Iran has bought large amounts of bullion on the international market to diversify away from the dollar, citing a senior Bank of England official.
Currency wars continue and are deepening.
