Preference for gold

Japanese: 金選好 - きんせんこう(英語表記)preference for gold
Preference for gold
This refers to the tendency to prefer gold over other financial assets as a form of personal savings or a country's foreign exchange reserves. This is because gold has long been the most trusted store of value. As the dollar crisis occurred in the late 1950s, European countries' preference for gold grew and they began to demand the exchange of dollar claims for gold, which led to a large outflow of gold from the United States, forcing the United States to suspend gold exchange on August 15, 1971.

Japanese:
個人の貯蓄形態あるいは国の外貨準備の保有形態として他の金融資産よりも金を好む傾向をさす。これは古くから価値の貯蔵手段として金が最も信頼されてきたことによる。 1950年代後半以降ドル危機が発生するに伴い,ヨーロッパ諸国では金選好が強まり,ドル債権と金との交換を要求するようになったため,アメリカの金が大量に流出し,1971年8月 15日アメリカは金交換の停止を余儀なくされた。
