According to reports from Russia, the BRICS countries (Brazil, India, Russia, China and South Africa) want to introduce a new gold-backed trading currency in August. A new gold-backed currency, that would be already a sensation and could help the gold price upward. Whether this attack on the US dollar will really happen is still questionable. On the other hand, a de-dollarization trend has set in, driving banks to buy large amounts of gold. So, the BRICS summit in South Africa is eagerly awaited.

Speculation regarding the new currency alone could drive the price of the precious metal. However, India has already declared, and the country is the second largest BRICS country, that it is not in favor of a common BRICS currency. Nevertheless, one must immediately think of the gold standard and whether it might return. Even if the rumor is not confirmed in August, it may only be a matter of time before the BRICS countries create their own currency as a counterpart to the industrialized countries.

This would lead to a significant change in the financial market. After all, the five countries account for around 40 percent of the world’s population. In terms of economic output, they represent about 25 percent. And what must not be forgotten is that the BRICS countries are sitting on a great wealth of raw materials. In any case, gold is a valuable factor in any portfolio, and gold companies should not be missing from stock portfolios.
