While everyone is focused on oil: Venezuela currently holds 161 metric TONS of gold reserves. 161 metric tons is roughly 5.18 million troy ounces, worth ~$22 BILLION at $4,300/oz. This makes Venezuela the Latin American country with the largest gold holdings. Every $100 that gold rises, these holdings gain +$518 million of value. Controlling Venezuela is set to produce hundreds of billions of revenue for the US. Will the US take control of these gold reserves?(The Kobeissi Letter)
