The gold is most probably just passing through and bound for markets
such as China or India. While there are refineries in North America,
gold can be sent to different refineries around the world depending on
prices or existing relationships.
One reason to refine the gold might be because there is a premium for
a smaller bar sold in the retail industry in India and China.
Business news website Quartz said the US Census Bureau's foreign
trade division recorded that 20 tonnes of gold, worth $982-million, left
John F Kennedy International Airport in New York for South Africa this
year.
