Follow Hard Assets COMEX gold stocks at record lows as SGE volumes surge 61%

Today’s AM fix was USD 1,237.25, EUR 908.61 and GBP 757.19 per ounce. Yesterday’s AM fix was USD 1,238.00, EUR 908.56 and GBP 753.91 per ounce.

Gold fell $2.80 or 0.23% yesterday, closing at $1,240.60/oz. Silver slipped $0.04 or 0.2% closing at $20.15/oz.

Gold prices are marginally lower again today in most currencies. Gold is more than 1% higher in Australian dollars after a very poor jobs number in Australia raised concerns about Australian asset bubbles and the Australian economy. The Aussie dollar has fallen by 4.4% against gold so far this year.

Technically, gold is looking sounder. Support is at $1,220, $1,200 and of course what appears to be a double bottom at $1,180/oz. A close above $1,270 could see gold quickly move to test resistance at $1,300 and $1,330.

Coin Shortage & Rationing

By Paul Ploumis

January 14, 2014

Caught by a number of factors, the global minting industry is experiencing coin shortage crisis together with the possible threat of rationing. The Central Bank of India in 2013 had imposed various restrictions and norms over the gold import and trading which had considerably hindered gold purchases in the country. Gold shortages were also prevalent in markets across the globe over the year. If the same downtrend continues to capture the global economy, then the day is not too far off when customers looking to purchase gold bullions will be subjected to rationing or limited allocation of coins.

Coin shortages and rationing was being witnessed in 2008 when the international minting industry was seized by financial crisis. Only recently was it reported that the U.K. minting industry met with a shortage of 2014 Sovereign gold coin sales. Only a day before did the U.S. mint report a strained supply of American Silver Eagle Bullion Coins that forced the company to induce an allocation program for one year, thereby limiting the supply of the official coins. Even though the 2008 coin shortage has faded much now, the U.K. and U.S. mints are still having issues in supplying coins that have further increased its demand among buyers and investors.

Gold Boosted By Far East Physical Demand, Investors Seeking 'Undervalued' Asset

(Kitco News) -Gold is starting 2014 on a stronger note, getting a boost Thursday from good physical demand in the Asian region, traders said.

Some also said the metal might be drawing a second look from investors as an “undervalued” asset after posting its worst year in three decades during 2013. Gold has bounced since the middle of a holiday-lightened session Tuesday when short covering set in after the market held its lows for the year on chart for the spot market and also on a futures-continuation chart.

As of 7:54 a.m. EST, gold for February delivery was $11.90, or 1%, higher to $1,214.20 per ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. March silver was up 57 cents, or 2.9%, to $19.94 an ounce.

“The Far East came in as buyers,” said Afshin Nabavi, head of trading with MKS (Switzerland) SA. Physical demand appeared to pick up. Meanwhile, there appeared to be a shortage of physical metal availability for immediate delivery due to a number of closures around the world over the last week during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, he continued.

Gold & Silver Lose Their Attraction For Wealth Retention

Gold tumbled again this morning to trade at 1197.90 and is expected to end the year just under the $1200 price level. Gold continues to lose its appeal for wealth retention and as a hedge against inflation as the US is showing a strong recovery and the global recovery seems to be well underway. Silver fell by 130 points to trade at 19.485 while palladium remains in the green adding $2.90 trading at 712.40 as its industrial demand edges up with increased auto sales offers more demand for the metal for catalytic converters. Platinum dipped by $1.45 to trade at 1358.90 following cues from the precious metals family. Gold prices fell on Monday below $1200 an ounce, heading for its biggest annual loss in three decades as U.S. equities soared to six-year highs and prospects of global economic recovery boosted appetite for riskier assets. Gold would be facing the first annual loss since 2000 while silver is set for the worst annual performance since 1981. According to CFTC, hedge funds and money managers cut their bullish bets in gold and silver in the week to Dec. 24. Gold ETF’s witnessed outflows of 864.8 metric tons in 2013 which were more than combined inflows in the previous three years, wiping about $73.7 billion from gold funds. Gold prices are expected to move further down as strong US growth prospects and gains in equity markets are likely to hurt gold prices. Precious metals fell in thin holiday trade on Monday, heading for its biggest annual loss in more than three decades at nearly 30 percent, as rising appetite for risk and the prospect of a global recovery tarnished its allure.

5 CHARTS: The Real Story Behind Silver

 Steve St. Angelo, SRSrocco Report
|

As the world continues down the road of self-destruction via its highly leveraged paper financial markets, there's a much more fascinating story worth looking at. Hidden from the majority of the public and misunderstood by many of the so-called professional metal analysts, is the Real Story Behind Silver.

One of the reasons why we are all in such a big mess today, is due to the failure of the analyst community to provide the public with honest, meaningful and proper data and information. As I have mentioned several times before, there's only a few good analysts out there.... and a whole bunch of losers. Unfortunately, the investing public has no idea that it is being misled due to this increasingly worthless shortsighted analysis.

Thomson Reuters GFMS put out a new Silver Update last month that was already covered by BrotherJohnF's website last week (which many have already seen). However, I took some time to closely examine the presentation and found some interesting charts worth explaining.

The first chart below has to do with the change in Silver Bullion Coin Sales. According to GFMS, they show approximately 43 million oz in silver coins sold in North America in the first 9 months of the year.
 North America in the first 9 months of the year.

They don't give you the exact figures, so we have to just eyeball the red bars and estimate what the amount would be by the scale on the left. I came up with the following:

2013 Q1 = 14 million oz

2013 Q2 = 15 million oz

2013 Q3 = 14 million oz

Total = 43 million oz

$5000 SILVER PER OZ!?! SUPPLY SHORTAGE SOON!

WHY THE PRICE OF SILVER SHOULD BE $5000 PER OUNCE AND WHAT WILL CAUSE THE PRICE OF SILVER TO SPIKE UP IN THE NEAR FUTURE

Billionaire Eric Sprott: “[When] The Data Says Hold Your Ground—You Hold Your Ground. Normally There’s A Big Payday At The End.

 By Tekoa Da Silva

Tekoa Da Silva: Eric, you comment often on the Western Central Banks, in terms of their disregard for gold as an asset class of importance, so I’d like to ask—do their actions speak otherwise or have they been letting out all their gold to Asian hands during this East/West physical transfer that we’ve seen over the last year?

Eric Sprott: Well, Tekoa I’ve written a number of articles where basically I ask the question, “Do the Western Central Banks have any gold left?” and I suspect that it is very, very limited these days and when I looked at what happened in the last decade, I can see that there was substantial net new demand for physical gold, over 2000 tons a year. You take it over a decade, and you’ve got 20,000 tons.

My understanding was they might have started the decade with 18,000 tons, but I was really debating whether they would have any left. As we’ve gotten into (particularly) this year and even last year with the Chinese coming into the market buying huge quantities of gold, it has become more and more apparent to me that the annual shortfall is probably even well beyond 2000 tons.

I speculated at the end of 2012 that the central banks probably had no gold left, and I’m not changing that speculation by the way. I think the raid on gold was orchestrated so that perhaps they could drain the ETFs, out of which they did get about 1000 tons, which helped them meet some of the demand exploding in China and many other places by the way.

So I think the central banks have been very active in the gold market. I believe in the GATA viewpoint, that the central banks have always wanted to orchestrate the price of gold. Particularly recently as the printing presses have gone crazy here and I know every one of your  readers would know that zero interest rates and printing money are irresponsible and because every one of your readers knows that, I know the guys doing it know that too.

Bernanke knows it, Abe knows it, and Draghi—they all know it. But they don’t want it to manifest itself, and where would it manifest itself? It would manifest itself in the price of gold going up.

Well, we can’t have that happen because we know our policy is ridiculous and of course it got to even higher levels this year with Japan coming in to buy an extra $65 billion a month. It’s almost surreal the amount of gold they’re buying and what’s even more surreal is to see the price of gold go down at the same time that you see these demand factors exploding. I’m more referring to the Chinese than any other side. One could almost postulate that the Chinese could buy all the gold produced (ex-China and ex-Russia who don’t sell any gold).

So that leaves the other 178 countries to buy none. Well, we know they’re buying. We know central banks are buying. We know mints are buying. So there’s no doubt that there is a serious disconnect between the physical market and the paper market, unless the central banks have somehow been able to still supply that extra gold. I suggest that they’re going to run out and that ultimately these precious metals prices will break loose.

I think most of us will be stunned to see how high they would go, and imagine how high they would go if we all found that the banks had no gold and there are clues to this. I mean the Germans asked for 300 tons back which is no big deal and they’re told it’s going to take seven years. Well, theoretically it was 4% of the US supply in gold. Why can’t you deliver 4%? Why does it take seven years to deliver 4% of the gold? I mean it just begs the question and that’s one of the reasons I think they don’t have the gold. So that’s why they orchestrated the raid.

TD: One thing I always thought was interesting Eric and I’d like to ask your thoughts on it, is that period where Gordon Brown sold Britain’s gold.

ES: Right, Brown’s bottom.
