If they do a new Bretton Woods, they will somewhat try to equate the amount of Dollars with real american assets (i.e gold) Debts have to be paid, even if not in full.
Thats what they did at Bretton Woods. All the gold from various central bank moved to America since they were the largest hoders of debt.
I have done a back of the envelope calculation. It turn out that if the Chinese wanted to take all of the american gold for their dollars an ounce of gold would be valued roughly at $100,000.
1.9 trillion of debt
8100 tonnes in fort knox
And then the are all the other debt holders....
I guess you could look at it from a dollar devaluation perspective but either way, I don't think that the Gold floor price will be $35 after Bretton Woods II.
