“Hello newspapers report that the USA delayed the repatriation of gold to Germany - only 5 tons were delivered on time - adding speculations that Ford Knox may not have enough gold stored. Do you have a view for the reason and the possible consequences?”

It seems a bit Smaugish, don’t you think?  No one likes to give up part of a gold hoard but I think Germany will see its request honoured.  Meanwhile, the articles are circulating as you say.
