I agree with all your points.
My view now is that removing LBMA/COMEX control of the gold price is a necessary precursor to central banks' setting the price and having the ability to vary it over time as conditions require. i.e.total control.
In this scenario, if correct, I expect a sizeable upwards revaluation. likely the BIS will allow market forces to take it up first. Because we haven't seen true price discovery in many decades, this seems a logical first step to me. Id the BIS is not happy with that, they could then set it higher. IMO this is to recapitalise the whole banking system from the sovereigns down.
Looking at who will benefit the most, I think China and Russia is on board with this, as are all countries with substantial gold holdings.
If the US really does own 8,300 tonnes of unencumbered gold, then the Biden administration could have given the nod and wink. here is an article from the SGE, as another dot to join.
