The smaller Italian central bank announced a while ago that they will be diversifying out of US dollar. The smaller UAE's central bank has announced the same. If some one wants to get out the small door first, the smaller central banks have the best chance as they don't have huge amounts of USD denominated assets to get rid of. They will not move the price of gold up and the US dollar down as much as the larger central banks would. It could be that beads of sweat are collecting on the foreheads of central bankers. Meanwhile they are probably all hoping that a panic does not develope.
Russia and China are making the same type of noises.
Remember a couple of years ago when Argentina announced more than once that they were actually buying gold for their central bank's reserves? Now that was getting a jump on their competition because there is not much gold out there compared to the monstrous amounts of US dollars that are going to increasingly be looking for gold.
