Physical Gold & Silver Shortages Are Accelerating. By Gregory Mannarino

Paper markets are not real. They are being propped up by printing more paper. The Fed will never admit that gold/solver is money. To do so would be an admission that what the are doing (printing money) is wrong. The media won't report physical precious metal shortages because it is an admission of confidence waning. It's coming people,

Adrian Ash - Owning Gold & Silver Makes Sense: Kitco News

Kitco News speaks with Adrian Ash, head of research for bullionvault.com, about the current sentiment in the metals markets as well as reasons why gold prices are not moving higher. According to Ash, the overall sentiment at the LBMA/LPPM Precious Metals Conference is "guarded optimism" and the big drops in gold prices this year cleared out a lot of the speculative cash that came with the bull run. "I think there's continued growth in private investor demand, people are still looking to have gold & silver as portfolio insurance," Ash says. "What you have now is a situation where the sense of crisis and the reasons that were driving people to buy gold, people are getting bored with that now." With regards to Fed, Ash says it is clear now that the impact of QE will not be strong on the gold price anymore. "What really drives gold prices up and down is investor sentiment," he says. "It's all about western investment dollars." Tune in now for more LBMA coverage. Kitco News, October 1, 2013.

Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium Investing Opportunities Roundtable

Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013 Sep 27, 2013 - 06:43 AM GMT

By: The_Gold_Report

Commodities

What happens when you bring together four of the top minds in the precious metals investing space to share insights from the front lines of gold, silver platinum and palladium investing? These excerpts from a Sprott Resources Roundtable featuring Gloom, Boom and Doom Report Publisher Marc Faber, Sprott Asset Management Chief Investment Strategist John Embry, Sprott Global Resource Investments Founder Rick Rule and Sprott Asset Management Founder Eric Sprott prove that great minds think big.

Sprott Resources: Marc Faber, help us understand the Federal Reserve's recent announcement regarding tapering.

Marc Faber: When the Fed began Quantitative Easing 1 (QE1) in 2008, I said it would continue until QE99. So I'm not so surprised by the "no tapering decision." But this money printing has numerous unintended consequences and actually does not help the economy much. Asset purchases benefit maybe 1% of the population, the super-rich. I'm not complaining because I own stock, bonds and real estate, but from a social point of view, it's undesirable because it creates widening wealth inequality and dissatisfaction among the majority of voters. This could lead to more votes for a populist leader who will then tax the wealthy more heavily.

SR: You are based in Asia. China, India and Russia have been very big buyers of gold bullion. What is behind that trend?

MF: In the Far East, we have a tradition of owning physical gold, but what is new is the Chinese government encouraging citizens to own gold. I believe that in the face of political instability and a lack of faith in the U.S. dollar, Asians will continue to accumulate physical gold and silver.

SR: What is the component that you have in your own portfolio of precious metals? And to add onto that, would you comment on the fact that precious metals shares are vastly oversold and they are a complement to physical bullion holdings?

MF: I recommend an asset allocation of about 25% in equities; 25% in fixed income, securities and cash; 25% in real estate; and 25% in precious metals—gold, silver. I think I have around 25% in gold whereby I don't value my gold. I have it and it's my insurance policy. It is important that one day when the so-called shit hits the fan—and I think the Fed is well on its way to creating that situation—you have access to your gold, that it is not taken away.

Read Marc Faber's latest interview with The Gold Report here.

SR: John Embry, you went through the market correction in 1975–1976. Would you share some perspective from that time?

John Embry: That's a very good question because there's a remarkable correlation with what is happening today. For the first three years of the 1970s, the gold price rose almost sixfold, and there was great enthusiasm. Then from 1974 to 1976, it was virtually cut in half. At that point, you could cut the pessimism with a knife it was so thick. Then, gold rose another eightfold from there. The price correction of the last two years has been even more counterintuitive than it was in the 1970s. The sentiment arguably is even more negative, yet the fundamentals are better than they were in the 1970s, so I think we're setting up for a major reversal. The only thing we're debating here today is whether it's going to happen tomorrow, next week or several months from now. It's just a matter of short-term timing because everything is in place.

SR: We have seen an incredible correction. During the upward trend we have seen during the past 10 years, we have had a number of corrections along the way, including some "puke" days. It looked like we had a bottoming at around $1,200 an ounce ($1,200/oz). We've corrected back to $1,300/oz, and now we seem to be heading upward. Can you help us put some perspective on that?

JE: We have had, from top to bottom, over a $700/oz correction in the past two years. That attests to the power of the central banks, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the bullion banks and their ability to control the paper market aggressively. I think that is coming to an end because it has driven the price down to remarkably undervalued levels. Talk of gold going to $1,000/oz and below is ridiculous. It's not going to happen. I think this is a fabulous opportunity because it's hugely undervalued and the fundamentals are compelling. We're just on the verge.

SR: What happened to the gold shares in that period?

JE: Gold shares were similarly under pressure, but their subsequent gains were historic. After gold topped in 1980 and then started to re-rally, the gold shares exploded again. You're talking in many cases, ten- or twentybaggers. So I wouldn't get discouraged here for the simple reason that I think gold and silver shares are now as cheap as they've ever been in history relative to where they are going. So it's a great buying opportunity, but very few people seem to be willing to take advantage of it.

When Silver Shortages Reach the Mainstream

Dr. Jeffrey Lewis

Many observers have realized that the price of silver will rise dramatically at some point because the amount of paper silver is many times the amount of physical silver. When this fact is even partially acknowledged by the mainstream, silver will probably move much higher.
Furthermore, silver has historically been a real money substitute for paper fiat currency. The governments of the world cannot afford to allow silver’s price to rise on the perception that people are losing confidence in their country’s paper fiat currency.

Manipulation Has Contributed to Physical Silver Shortages

 The price of silver has been kept in check by via the management of a profitable and decades-long net short futures position held by the market’s largest banking players, who have allegedly been acting as agents for the controllers of money.
Of course, if these controllers selling silver make a futures market trading loss, they only have to print more paper money to pay for it, since the seller of a futures contract controls whether or not physical delivery occurs.
Lower paper silver prices also allow them to pick up cheap physical silver from the unsuspecting public that still typically remains unaware of the futures market manipulation.

Precious Metals or Mining Stocks?

Late summer saw, to the relief of some investors, some price improvements in precious metals and precious metals stocks. We asked Sprott USA Holdings Chairman Rick Rule if he thought this might indicate that we’ve seen the bottom in this sector.
“There’s a key element still missing from the picture,” Rick stated in a recent update to investors. “In past bear markets in natural resources, we witnessed a wave of capitulation selling that marked the end of the bear market. That capitulation allowed the next bull market phase to begin. And we haven’t seen that kind of capitulation occur in this market.”

Rick added that previous corrections lasted three to four years. Since the current bear market started in 2011, he believes it could be another one or two years before things turn around:
“The excesses of the bull market from 2003 to 2010 are nowhere near done being wrung out of the system.”

Gold’s Bad and Silver’s Worse, But …

It's way too soon to count out either commodity — or their ETFs
Sep 11, 2013, 8:54 am EDT  |  By James Brumley, InvestorPlace Contributor

If you think the past nine days have been tough for gold prices, then you must not have owned any silver.

Although the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) left the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) in the dust when both metals turned around back on June 27, silver has more than paid the price for that frothy runup, in the form of a relative drubbing. While gold is off about 3.6% since the late-August peak, silver’s given

up more than 6.1% of its value since then.

Silver Price ~ Betting on the Apocalypse

Mr. Ehrlich’s view of looming scarcity was hardly radical in the years after the 1970s oil shocks. Many investors in the late 1970s shared his faith that rising metal prices reflected finite supply and impending shortages. The Hunt brothers, for example, famously gambled billions of their oil fortune on the rising price of silver, and then lost their shirts in 1980 when prices faltered and they failed to corner the market.

During the 1980s, macroeconomic factors, including falling oil prices and economic slowdowns, far outweighed new pressures from population growth and drove down the prices of many metals. Everyday market forces — technological change, price-driven competition and new sources of supply — also helped reduce prices. The international tin cartel collapsed under pressure from new Brazilian mines. Aluminum, plastic, fiber-optic cables and satellites began to replace copper, even as copper production soared in response to 1970s highs; by 1985, the copper industry struggled to create demand.

This dynamic relationship between scarcity and abundance matters for public policy. Exaggerated fears of resource scarcity can lead to stifling price controls, panicked efforts to limit production or consumption, and public investment strategies predicated on high prices that turn out to be ephemeral.

The same thing is true in business. Solyndra, the now-bankrupt solar-panel company, failed in part because its model depended on the price of polysilicon, used by its competitors, remaining high. When prices instead collapsed, so did its competitive strategy and the company.

Should you join the buyers as the gold price rises?

Gold has bounced back as investors seek exposure to the metal in all its forms. Fears of inflation and of conflict in the Middle East are just two of the factors driving demand. Should you be joining the buyers?

The gold price crashed in the first part of 2013 but staged a recovery in late June; the price has risen by more than 20pc. Now consumers in Asia, along with other investors spooked by events in Syria, are driving stronger demand – just as supply is falling as miners scale back production.

ETF Securities, which offers gold tracking funds, highlighted the trend in a note published this week. It expects the shortage of gold to intensify. Demand from China is a major factor, it said. “Imports of gold from Hong Kong in the first six months of 2013 amounted to 16 million ounces, more than double the amount imported by China over the same period last year,” it said.

Dog days for Miners

 David McKay | Tue, 03 Sep 2013 11:41

[miningmx.com] – ON Friday afternoon of April 12, traders in London and Johannesburg were winding down for the weekend. In New York, however, it was 8am and the action was just about to kick off. The Big Apple’s gold futures market opened to a wall of selling – 100 tonnes of metal, equal to 3.4 million ounces - which took the price of gold down to $1,540/oz. This was an important level because it represented the threshold which had several years earlier confirmed gold was in a bull market: it also represented gold’s low in 2012. “In many traders minds, it stood as a formidable support level; the line in the sand,” says Ross Norman of Sharps Pixley, a UK bullion broker.

Silver And Gold: 3 Catalysts For A Breakout

"For the first time in a while silver looks like a deep value play. All you need is a supply shortage and that can be a major catalyst." -Andrew Chanin, PureFunds
By the behavior of silver and gold spot prices over the past two plus weeks it almost appears the breakout is underway. Perhaps it is as many would like to think. But let's not speculate ahead of ourselves without support of logic and the holding of no misconceptions about metal price rise. Fact: the price of silver and gold is going up, because the value of fiat currency is going down.
This article intends to make a case for precious metals with examples of mine-production decline and supply shortage, where and why the trend is most likely to continue, and a look at compounding economic factors that when combined with shrinking supply will create prosperity for some and despair for others.

The Shortage of Gold is threatening Jewellery Export Orders

The shortage of gold is threatening jewellery export orders, with the consequent delay in manufacturing of ornaments. However, the trade is hopeful of a substantial improvement after a Monday meeting with Customs officials.

Gold import has almost stopped, with the confusion for a month in the Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Industry sources say gold is scarcely available, even at high premiums, as nominated agencies and star trading houses have stopped its import after the ambiguity.

RBI issued one formula on July 22, followed by a clarification on August 14. RBI first restricted gold imports through letters of credit, asking importers to pay the entire money upfront. This was later revised to 20 per cent mandatory supply to jewellery exporters. Also, until the proof of 20 per cent exports is given, gold is not to be made available to jewellery manufacturers, RBI said.

Nanofiber and Silver Production

Aug 24, 2013 - 11:28 AM GMT

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

Commodities Silver production tends to center around two often unknown factors. First of all, many people seem unaware that byproduct mining is the primary source of new silver supply.

Secondly, the broken price discovery mechanism for silver has resulted in artificially low prices that have led to the demise of many primary silver producers.
Although this seems to be yet another compelling positive factor underlying silver’s fundamentals, the end of price controls and key technological improvements already on the horizon will ultimately determine silver’s price going forward.

Silver Price Control in Action

For example, after silver recently breaks below the $19 dollar paper price, short term price controls break down temporarily, allowing the price to run up to $23, where it even threatens to breach the $24 level.

Also, the President is planning a meeting with his top monetary officials. The White House said it expects the heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, U.S. Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Housing Finance Agency and the National Credit Union

Fed Chair Ben Bernanke et al. will speak tomorrow, as well. Then the paper price of silver gets smashed overnight by some entity with enough weight to push around a far too thin market.

Administration to attend the meeting Monday afternoon.

Junk Silver Bags from Peter Schiff

Mr. Peter Schiff simply stated that junk silver is not an ideal investment option because premiums are becoming too high. In addition to saving money on premiums, you gain the advantage of having newly minted 100% (almost) silver rounds. We should be thanking Mr. Schiff for providing us with better investment options.



 Peter Schiff does a live demonstration of his new innovative Silver Barter Bag -- the *best value* in physical silver ever offered by Euro Pacific Precious Metals. Bags of pure, investment-grade fractional silver rounds at premiums up to *half off* the going rate for junk coins.

Silver – A Change In Behavior. Enough For A Bottom?

Michael Noonan
|
Sunday, August 4th
Facebook    Twitter    Forward    Print

One of the largest issues many have with technical analysis is linking an understanding of their fundamental "beliefs" with prices on a chart. By fundamental, we include simply the knowledge of any number of known factors, shortages, record buying of coins, people generally positive about the "news," as a few simple examples. There is a need for a hand-to-eye type of association between existing fundamental "beliefs" and current prices.

Beliefs are formed opinions about reality, but not necessarily reality itself. Change the belief, and you change the reality. The current wide-spread belief is that there is a huge shortage in silver, relative to the demand. From that belief an expectation of higher prices arises. The reality is, for whatever reason, price has declined to levels that have surprised almost all who follow the silver market, and gold, as well.

Technical analysis is a measure different from fundamental analysis. We will depart even more by qualifying our approach as a specialized subset of technical analysis. How so? We read price and volume behavior, over time, in the form of developing market activity. It is what one sees on a chart, price ranges, close locations, volume, time factor[s], but no more.

We do not use artificial tools like Relative Strength, Fibonacci, Bollinger Bands, MACD, Elliott Wave, even moving averages. From our view, they are past tense information being imposed upon present tense activity with the expectation of divining the future.

Gold ignores Fed minutes in favor of China data

Everyone was clearly convinced the Fed was going to provide, with absolute clarity, what they were thinking in regard to tapering. This is despite them failing to do so every other time markets thought they might do just this.

Obviously the FOMC minutes did not provide any further clues as to when the bond buying program might be scaled back. The general sentiment of the board was that more data was required and, for some, that it might be too soon to begin tapering. Despite this many believe the minutes indicated that the Fed ‘remained on track’ to scale back purchases should conditions remain the same.

The gold price didn’t really care, before or after the release. In the run-up to the minutes it fluctuated between gains and losses and post-release it originally gained in the first few minutes but then fell very slightly. The SPDR Gold Trust gained 0.5%, despite seeing outflows.

Prior to the FOMC minutes, volumes of the Shanghai Gold Exchange climbed to 10,926kg for gold of 99.99 percent purity, their highest level since August 2nd.

When Silver Shortages Reach the Mainstream

Aug 16, 2013 - By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

Many observers have realized that the price of silver will rise dramatically at some point because the amount of paper silver is many times the amount of physical silver. When this fact is even partially acknowledged by the mainstream, silver will probably move much higher.

Furthermore, silver has historically been a real money substitute for paper fiat currency. The governments of the world cannot afford to allow silver’s price to rise on the perception that people are losing confidence in their country’s paper fiat currency.

Manipulation Has Contributed to Physical Silver Shortages

The price of silver has been kept in check by via the management of a profitable and decades-long net short futures position held by the market’s largest banking players, who have allegedly been acting as agents for the controllers of money.

Of course, if these controllers selling silver make a futures market trading loss, they only have to print more paper money to pay for it, since the seller of a futures contract controls whether or not physical delivery occurs.

Lower paper silver prices also allow them to pick up cheap physical silver from the unsuspecting public that still typically remains unaware of the futures market manipulation.

Silver & WWIII - $1,000 an ounce

 Silver & WWIII - $1,000 an ounce
Be careful what you wish for. If silver ever did go to $500 an ounce or $1,000 an ounce or $1,500 an ounce that would mean a catastrophic total collapse of the Western financial empire. If we can make it through these tough economic times and keep things relatively smooth than expect silver to maybe peak at $150 to $200 an ounce.
A catastrophic and systemic collapse of the Western financial system would mean that major warfare could become reality so never hope for that situation because that would be the conditions that would result in Silver going over $1,000 an ounce. As many conspiracy students like to point out the evils of the Western elite, the replacements that would fill the power vacuum by the collapse of the West coming from Chinese elitists and Russian elitists would be far worse. So !,000 Silver is something we hope will never occur except in the far distant future.

Gold & Silver Prices Will Rise in Next 12 Months, NO Bear Market in PMs

 though all the banking shills at CNBC, Fortune magazine, the WSJ, and in the mass media espoused the bankster claims that gold and silver were "dead" and that the drop in prices that started in April were only the "beginning" of much greater drops, the reality is that the drops in gold and silver only happened in paper markets, and that the Western bankers have now lost a lot of physical gold on this fraud to the East. Gold & Silver prices WILL rise over the next 12 months and we are willing to guarantee it

Silver Shortage Debate! Conclusion? Either Way Prices Will Rise Mid-Term!

 An interview discussing the silver shortage, with Raul from Alt Investors Hangout.
 find silver at great prices where others will not. If silver were to hit $5 and the mines decided they were gonna ignore spot price and put out silver at say 15-30 an ounce. The system would hold up and it would be buisness at usual with premiums ranging probably in the $5-$10 dollar range over whatever mines are outputting their silver at.

Silver and Gold – a New Divergence?

Silver demand continues to grow as gold seems to have lost its luster. Read about market machinations and learn the facts.



Silver has been resilient, though the price of the metal has not. What do I mean by that?

Since the collapse of precious metals prices started in May of this year we’ve seen valuations fall tremendously. Even greater has been the drop of demand for certain metals. Probably the most brutal attack on a metal that we can visualize is that of the gold ETF known as GLD.

The GLD has lost a staggering 31% of its holdings since the peak seen back in December 2012. By July, 29 2013 it had lost 13,638,000 of its 43,453,000 ounces, leaving 29,815,000 ounces of gold held in trust. During the same time period we saw the silver ETF, SLV, lose only about 3% of its holdings from the high of April 2011 when it was holding nearly 11,243 tons of silver in its vaults.

The coin market tells a different story with The US Mint selling silver Eagles at a brisk pace. At current levels, the year 2013 looks to be a banner year. If the US mint continues at this pace it will have increased sales by 50% year-over-year. Oddly enough, the 1 ounce gold US Eagle is also selling well. It is on pace to sell almost 48% more than the great year they had in 2011. This, I believe, is a very telling sentiment of the coin-consuming public.

Palladium shortages spur bullish wagers

August 6 2013 at 11:17am

---

Reuters.

Sheets of palladiums are pictured at a jewellery factory.

New York - At a time when gold and silver are tumbling the most in three decades, hedge funds are holding a near-record bullish bet on palladium as forecasters from Morgan Stanley to Credit Suisse Group AG predict years of shortages.

Demand will exceed output by 1.33 million ounces in 2013, more than North America produces in a year, Morgan Stanley says.

Credit Suisse anticipates deficits through at least 2016, and researcher CPM Group says mines won’t catch up for a decade.

Prices will average $800 an ounce in the first quarter, 9.9 percent more than now, and $850 in 2015, the median of as many as 12 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg show.

Speculators raised bets on higher prices eightfold in the past year and are holding a near-record amount in funds.

It Could Be A Long, Not-So-Hot August For Gold

Precious Metals Weekly Market Wrap
It was a week of high volatility for gold and silver as prices were influenced by a series of key U.S. economic data and the conclusion of a Federal Reserve policy meeting where nothing new was offered on a September "tapering" of the central bank's $85 billion per month money printing effort.
Precious metals were little changed up until Thursday when the combination of a very strong U.S. manufacturing report and a new recovery low for jobless claims sent the trade-weighted dollar sharply higher and metal prices lower (recall that the two often move opposite each other). Traders concluded that these reports made it more likely the Fed would curtail its bond buying program next month, but Friday's relatively weak labor report saw gold and silver prices end on a positive note, albeit not positive enough to offset earlier losses.

Gold and silver ETFs saw more outflows, demand for precious metals remained strong in China, the Indian government continued its campaign to curb gold demand in order to narrow its trade deficit, and the subject of gold market backwardation was again in the news.
For the week, the gold price fell 1.5 percent, from $1,333.80 an ounce to $1,313.50, and silver dropped ten cents, from $19.99 an ounce to $19.89. The gold price is now down 21.6 percent so far this year, some 31.7 percent below its record high of over $1,920 an ounce almost two years ago, and silver has fallen 34.5 percent in 2013, almost 60 percent below its all-time high near $50 an ounce in early-2011.

Silver – A Change In Behavior. Enough For A Bottom?

By Michael Noonan

One of the largest issues many have with technical analysis is linking an understanding of their fundamental "beliefs" with prices on a chart.  By fundamental, we include simply the knowledge of any number of known factors, shortages, record buying of coins, people generally positive about the "news," as a few simple examples.  There is a need for a hand-to-eye type of association between existing fundamental "beliefs" and current prices.

Beliefs are formed opinions about reality, but not necessarily reality itself.  Change the belief, and you change the reality.  The current wide-spread belief is that there is a huge shortage in silver, relative to the demand.  From that belief an expectation of higher prices arises.  The reality is, for whatever reason, price has declined to levels that have surprised almost all who follow the silver market, and gold, as well.
Technical analysis is a measure different from fundamental analysis.  We will depart even more by qualifying our approach as a specialized subset of technical analysis.  How so? We read price and volume behavior, over time, in the form of developing market activity. It is what one sees on a chart, price ranges, close locations, volume, time factor[s], but no more.

How to beat a GOLD SHORTAGE

Gold is sold out! Or so you might think if you miss the true nature of coin supply...
By Miguel Perez-Santalla


Over the last few years, during the great investment demand for gold and silver, we have seen sporadic shortages in bullion coins.
Many people have written about these shortages as a harbinger of things to come in precious metals more widely. One of the fads is to decry supply issues in silver and now recently gold. However, the truth of the matter is less dramatic, if not quite so simple.
In most cases, supply issues with silver or gold coins are caused by abnormal or let's say surprising increases in demand from bullion coin buyers. Simply put, coins don't come out of thin air. They need to be manufactured. This all takes time and money. No one wants to tie up their money in a product that is not going to sell. That exposes gold and silver buyers to "just in time" inventory gaps if it's coins they want to buy.

The Coming Shortage Of Gold and Silver That Will Send Prices Soaring

Is the paper gold scam about to be brutally crushed by a crippling shortage of physical gold?  If so, what will that do to global financial markets?  According to the Reserve Bank of India, “the traded amount of ‘paper linked to gold’ exceeds by far the actual supply of physical gold: the volume on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) OTC market and the major Futures and Options Exchanges was OVER 92 TIMES that of the underlying Physical Market.”  In other words, there is a massive amount of paper out there, but very little actual physical gold to back it up.  And right now, we are witnessing voracious hoarding of physical gold all over the globe.  This is especially true in Asia.  Just see this article and this article.  All of this hoarding is putting a tremendous amount of pressure on those that have made all of these “paper promises”, because the truth is that there really isn’t all that much physical gold on the planet.  In fact, Warren Buffett once estimated that if all of the gold in the entire world was brought into one place, it could be formed into a cube that would only be 69 feet long by 69 feet high by 69 feet wide.

As the emerging shortage of physical gold becomes increasingly apparent, the massive Ponzi scheme that the bullion banks have been running for decades is going to completely fall apart.  The following is what Egon von Greyerz told King World News the other day…

Why Is Silver Manipulation So Absurd?

Adam English | Wednesday, July 24th

Every time someone in America buys electronics or a car — or even cracks open a can of beer — Goldman Sachs gets paid.
A breaking story from the New York Times has all the details...
Three years ago, this too-big-to-fail bank capitalized on special rules created by the Federal Reserve and authorized by Congress by buying an obscure company called Metro International Trade Services. It is one of the largest warehousing companies for aluminum in the country.
Since then, it has manipulated the system to pull in massive profits.
In spite of tepid demand for aluminum worldwide after the Great Recession, the amount of time required for aluminum delivery has increased 20-fold — from six weeks to 16 months — since the company was purchased. This could be explained by shortages or logistical issues, if any existed. The company is actively making the process inefficient.
Since 2008, the stockpile of aluminum grew from 50,000 tons in 2008 to a massive 1.5 million tons today. Industry rules require at least 3,000 tons be moved out of warehouses each day.
However, instead of delivering the metal to buyers, Goldman is just shuffling the metal between warehouses to skirt the intent of the rules.
The warehouses collect rent for each day the metal is stored. Storage costs are a primary factor for the premium added to the price difference between the spot market and the actual price charged for delivery.
Estimates show this premium has doubled since Goldman's acquisition. For every ton delivered, an extra $114 is charged. With how much aluminum is used in everything from soda cans to automobiles, estimates put the extra cost to American consumers at $5 billion over three years.
This business has been so lucrative that Goldman plans to expand the operations. It recently filed documents with the SEC outlining its plan to store copper in the same warehouses.
No Exception to the Rule
The list of manipulations by mega banks touches every corner of finance.
Virtually every commodity has been hit by massive positions that influence prices for illicit gains...
LIBOR and delaying interest rate information amounted to $880 trillion in manipulation alone, and affected every mortgage and loan worldwide. And JPMorgan is all over the news, turning money-losing power plants into profit centers by manipulating the market and being paid for not firing up the plants.
But bring up any of these topics, and you'll hear the same cynical responses. Mention silver manipulation, and it will be dismissed as fringe conspiracy theory.
In an age where everything is being manipulated, it defies belief that somehow silver prices aren't being abused for illicit gains. It requires willful ignorance. The fact is, there is plenty of evidence staring everyone right in the face.
Let's just have a look at JPMorgan...

JPMorgan's Silver Cash Grab
JPMorgan inherited a massive amount of silver shorts priced between $20 and $21 when it took over Bear Stearns. Combined with HSBC, the two mega banks covered 85% of all silver shorts.
That right there is a solid case for manipulation — because the short position was so massive compared to physical silver trading and long positions. What's worse, the U.S. Treasury created the situation.
If the free market resolved the situation, silver would have more than doubled as the short position was covered and evaporated.
The massive position was maintained for years because it wasn't easy to wind down. Any large-scale attempts to unwind the position would be countered by other big traders and result in a loss. JPMorgan didn't have to, though; it simply needed to rig the system to turn a buck.
A precious metal trader named Andrew Maguire sent detailed information in an email to the CFTC on Feb. 3, 2010, about what to expect in two days after he noticed signals from JPMorgan and HSBC traders using after-hours high-frequency trades to crush prices.
His description was perfectly accurate. The trader, selling four hundred contracts per second, dumped 45,000 contracts into the market. Each was for 5,000 troy ounces for a grand total of 7,000 tonnes. The seller then suddenly shifted and started purchasing everything he could. Still moving far faster than other traders, he or she walked with $3.6 billion.
In more recent history, JPMorgan has been holding about 25% of the silver short market with the largest eight commercial silver shorts account for 50% to 60%. Estimates put paper silver positions at 143 times the actual amount of physical silver traded.
Massive volumes of sell orders are placed and canceled in fractions of a second by them. The lower sell prices still appear in market data for anyone that cannot handle trading by the millisecond, leading to panic selling by other (much slower) traders.
The high-frequency trading system then snaps up the positions for profit. After all, they never sold anything to begin with... they simply maintained short positions and canceled sales to buy at discounts.

Bullion Shortage in India

Gold imports by India, the world’s biggest user last year, may plunge after the central bank linked inbound shipments to exports to cut a record current-account deficit and stem a decline in the currency.

Overseas purchases may tumble 63 percent to 175 metric tons in the six months through December from a year earlier, said Bachhraj Bamalwa, a director at the All India Gems & Jewellery Trade Federation. The Reserve Bank of India announced new rules late yesterday, making it mandatory for importers to set aside 20 percent for re-exports as jewelry.
The curbs may cause a shortage of bullion in the domestic market as the country’s average annual exports of gold jewelry are about 70 tons, Bamalwa said. Consumption in India, which imports almost all the bullion it uses, was 864.2 tons last year, according to data from the World Gold Council.

Gold & Silver Shortages ~ Asian Dealers Fear Summer Shortage

Gold Jump Pulls Miners Higher as Asian Dealers Fear Summer Shortage

London Gold Market Report

From Adrian Ash

The WHOLESALE price of gold leapt in thin Asian trade Monday morning, jumping 1.7% inside half-a-minute and then extending its run in London to new 1-month highs at $1322 per ounce.

London-listed gold equities followed, with shares in Randgold Resources – tipped today by analysts at both J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley as better able to cut costs and avoid write-downs than competitors – rose 2.5%.

So too however did shares in African Barrick Gold – named by Morgan Stanley as a gold miner facing "heightened risks [with] limited scope to raise returns."

Russian gold miner Petropavlovsk, which by end-May had sold forward 70% of its 2013 output to hedge the falling gold price, meantime rose over 4.3% on the London stock market, taking its rally of the last two weeks above 40%.

Shares in the former million-ounce miner remained 75% below the start of 2013, however.

Randgold Resources was trading today 25% down for the year so far.

"Gold broke through a key technical level at $1300," said one Singapore trader to Reuters this morning.

The first breach of this "psychologically important" level since end-June, however, gold "is still a good $230 off the technically important 200-day moving average," says the daily note from Germany's Commerzbank.

Gold, Silver gain on fresh Demand

Gold surged to Rs 27,300 per ten grams, silver appreciated to Rs 40,730 per kg

Both the precious metals, gold and silver gained in the national capital on Friday on fresh buying by stockists amid a firm global trend.

While gold surged by Rs 275 to Rs 27,300 per ten grams, silver gained Rs 295 to Rs 40,730 per kg on increased offtake by jewellers and industrial units.

Sentiments bolstered after gold surged to a three-week high in global markets, as Federal Reserve Chairman’s comments that stimulus may be maintained spurred demand for the metal.

Gold in London, which normally sets the price trend on the domestic front, appreciated 0.3 per cent to USD 1,287.69 an ounce.

On the domestic front, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity zoomed up by Rs 275 each to Rs 27,300 and Rs 27,100 per ten grams, respectively.

Gold and Silver Miners Rolling Over Again

 The bullish case for silver is easy enough to make. It also makes sense that if the price per ounce eventually takes off, then the miners would do well.
Nevertheless, the problems that silver miners face are multifaceted and will be discussed further in the following sections.

Inflation

The next trigger that catapults silver prices higher will likely be associated with a notable rise in inflation that may already be in process. The Producer Price Index (PPI) was up last month significantly for the first time in a while and crude oil is again testing the psychological $100 level.
Still, inflation is a double edged sword for the miners since rising energy costs will be a huge drag on net earnings for these companies. This is especially true for the penny stock miners who are still in the exploration stage and will require revisionary financing going forward.

Tough Times for Miners

The entire mining sector has been miserable and positive sentiment is getting pretty close to zero. This might indicate a bottom is near, but the damage to the sector has been done.
The industry also suffers from a shortage of experienced geologists, and financing for these mining projects is hard to come by as a rule.
Furthermore, most silver comes from byproduct mining because primary mines simply could not stay in business for the lean decades leading up to the most recent bull market in silver.
