gold and dollar reserves

基本解释

For example, South Korea last week passed on the U.S. dollar and bought gold for the first time in 13 years to fill its reserves.
例如，上周，韩国13年以来第一次购进了黄金而不是美元来作为其储备。

We note the sharp contrast with 2001, when a shortage of dollar liquidity (strong and strengthening dollar, high real interest rates, low central bank dollar reserves, falling gold and commodity prices, rapidly shrinking U.S. profits) all spelled weakness.
