What’s Wrong With Silver?

March 25, 2015
By SilverSeek

Silver prices are largely set on the COMEX futures – paper silver. A company can post the margin and sell short thousands of contracts with no actual metal available thereby creating artificial supply.

New York closed at $1,183.20 up $12.90. Asia held it a dollar below that level before London opened. So far the new way of Fixing does not appear to have produced any dramas and the ‘runs’ have gone well. Of course true transparency would mean the participants disclosing details of their in-house deals which were ‘netted’ out before the participants did an overall ‘netting out’. This morning the “LBMA gold price” was set at $1,181.40 up $9.65 with the euro price down nearly €10. Ahead of New…

Is the tide turning for Precious Metals?

Has the tide begun to turn for the precious metals, notably silver and gold? In our view the turn began last year and if pressed to pinpoint one event, it would be following the failure of the Swiss referendum when the SNB de-pegged the franc from the euro.

New York closed at $1,170.30 barely changed on yesterday’s close. Asia has held it there too before London opened. Today is a historic day again because it sees the start of the new Fixing process.

Ahead of New York’s opening, gold was trading in London at $1,172.50 and in the euro at €1,094.57.

The Titanic Sinks At Dawn

March 19, 2015

The titanic creation of paper assets such as bonds, currencies, and stocks has created substantial risk. That risk has spilled over into the crude oil, gold and silver markets since they are strongly influenced by the paper derivative markets – paper contracts for crude oil, paper gold, and paper silver. Leverage and derivatives magnify risk. The instability will eventually create a second version of the 2008 recession/depression.
