Well just for the record it was April 3, 1933 that gold was ordered to be confiscated under FDR. That's tomorrow here, or today for many already. But the answer, of course, I think it took a 3% hit yesterday and if you just search for articles with "gold IMF" there are quite a few other articles on the topic.
Could they be looking forward to a gold revaluation?

Yes, gold is weak at its current price. It's been artificially propped up for quite some time.
Soon, I don't the exact date but I'd guess May 22, 2009, gold is gonna come down faster than the Dow last October.
