Shanghai took the gold price closing in New York higher more in line with the higher Shanghai price the day before. London then ignored Shanghai prices and opened at New York’s close. At the moment we are seeing a small battle between the developed world centers and Shanghai the physical market. This battle can be resolved provided the arbitrageurs in the market do their job. They can’t move gold but can adjust their positions with currency plays. Full Story
Gold buying surged to record levels in H1, 2016 due to increasing concerns about the political, economic and monetary outlook. In particular, deepening concerns about the negative interest rate money “madness” of central banks today. Yesterday we covered this surge in gold buying in western markets as detailed by the World Gold Council and what is driving this increased demand. Monetary policies and their impact on savers, along with political risks, contributed to record H1 gold investment demand, surpassing even that of the 2009 financial crisis. Full Story

So far in 2016 investment demand for gold has overtaken the previous-ever high of 917 tonnes in 2009 [First half] to reach 1,064 tonnes. Full Story

The jump of $15 from New York’s close was large. London came in at the open at $1,352, but there is always a reason when prices jump like this. Demand in Shanghai, the world’s largest gold market, clearly jumped. With 8.3 million individual gold investors and 10,000 institutional investors dealing on this market, supply must be tight in this physical market. We watch with interest to see if this demand feeds into London and New York. Full Story
The good thing is that even after a good US July jobs numbers gold and silver have nearly pared most of their losses. Investors and everyone are buying gold and silver. The hallmark of the beginning of a bull market is the tendency to shrug off negative news and rise. I think gold and silver are on the verge of a repeat of 2004. Gold’s bull run started from August 2004 when prices were at $380. Full Story

Gold and silver held remarkably steady yesterday in the face of a large sale of gold from the SPDR gold ETF. The gold price continues to rest on support and with the gold season nearly on us the physical market, at least will see demand grow significantly. In the U.S. fears of a global slowdown [and low productivity] affecting the U.S. economy and the large number of potential banking and debt crises that are more than likely, the atmosphere for gold continues to be positive.

The excellent Jobs report on Friday of a 255,000 increase, well above estimates, has put a rate hike back on the table, some say for September with others saying not until December.
