Basel III Gold becomes money and a tier 1 bank asset.

As a tier 1 asset banks can hold gold as 100% of its value. If the gold prices rises substantially the banks can improve currently failing balance sheets by netting off debts/losses to gold as a revalued asset.

This is the first time since 1978 that gold has been officially a money tier 1 asset for banks.

Expect gold price to move a lot higher along with silver, inflation, interest rates and velocity of money. Only bonds will price lower.

This goes in to effect end of this month.
