Buy Silver – May Replace Gold As Money In India

December 07, 2016

The Indian government has been trying to reduce its citizens’ demand for imported gold through a number of means over the last few years. This is part of a wider crackdown on currency used in the black market, that included the withdrawal and replacement of its two largest-denomination bank notes in early November. The strategy will likely have some unintended consequences if we take our cues from the events of 1910.

Silver Market Morning: Dec 6 2016 - Gold and Silver starting to find support!

December 06, 2016

With the gold price differential continuing to drain liquidity from London to Shanghai and with the Chinese New Year on the horizon we are sensitized to the speed with which gold prices move against sales or no sales of physical gold from the U.S. based gold ETFS. When these sales fall off prices are now rising. If purchases come in we expect to see almost disproportionate rises as the lack of stock makes itself felt.

Silver Prices And Interest Rates

December 01, 2016

Many hyperinflations have occurred in the past 100 years. Example: Argentina has devalued against the U.S. dollar by 10 trillion to one since about 1950. The continued devaluation of the U. S. dollar, loss of reserve currency status, and coming massive “stimulus” spending could result in hyperinflation in the United States. Silver will reach incredible prices in such a disastrous situation. Few if any will be pleased with the consequences of hyperinflation, but owning silver will help mitigate…

We have pointed out to readers that there are two types of gold investors across the world. Those who use the gold price to try to make [currency] profits, which are then converted into one or another currency, see profit as the goal.

Silver Market Morning: Nov-23-2016 -- Gold and Silver consolidating at a bottom!

November 23, 2016

We are aware that central banks do not like to affect the gold price when buying and we are also aware that they are not keen to be predictable in their purchases. What is a practical ploy in buying is to not go to the market but to let the market come to them and just ‘accept the offer’ of gold from dealers when they are heavy with holdings. This does not affect the price but does remove available gold stocks from the market.

November 22, 2016

The dollar is lower again, bouncing off the 101 dollar index area there. The dollar is the driver of U.S. prices allowing gold prices in other currencies to rise. While heavy selling continues from the gold ETFs in the U.S. New York will pull prices down. With London being the hub of the developed world’s physical gold market it will pull prices higher as the Chinese banks, via a typically structured ‘swap’ transaction, will arbitrage gold between Shanghai and London, where profitable.
