We recently reported the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has been accepting gold like a “pawn shop” for central banks, but the BIS has since changed its tune. It emailed The Wall Street Journal to say the 346 tonnes of gold it has added to its vaults belong to commercial banks and not to central banks.
