Alasdair Macleod: China regulates gold too tightly for 'shadow banking system' to play with it

GoldMoney research director Alasdair Macleod dismisses speculation that gold has been caught up by commodity financing deals in China.

His commentary is headlined "Chinese Shadow Banking and Commodities" and it's posted at GoldMoney here:
