Silver Market Morning: Feb 7 2017 - Gold steady at higher levels with SPDR investors still buying!

February 07, 2017

What is now very clear is that if Marie le Pen and her party are elected, France will likely leave the E.U. Yesterday saw a plan to leave the E.U. produced by her party. It could involve a dual currency. Some have said that a dual currency never works. On the contrary dual currencies have pulled several nations out of a hole, including the U.K. in the early seventies. One currency for commercial transactions and another for capital.

Silver Market Morning: Feb 6 2017 - Gold firm in ALL currencies rising from support!

February 06, 2017

Shanghai was trading in gold at 269.85 during today’s session before London opened. This equates to $1,223.06. For the first time in the last month all global gold markets appear in line. The reality is that Shanghai is lower due to the higher quality of gold it prices at $1,218.06. Therefore New York and London are higher than Shanghai. It’s the first time we have seen this, this year.

Silver Market Morning: Feb 3 2017 - U.S. gold ETF buyers are back in force!

February 03, 2017

With Shanghai open today for the first time since last Thursday, we won’t have the two daily Fixes for today until tomorrow. Meanwhile, Shanghai was trading today at 269.80 towards the close today after their return from the big annual holiday. This equates to $1,222.71. This leaves it just $2 higher than the close in New York.

Silver Market Morning: Jan 30 2017 - Gold and Silver holding up well while Shanghai closed!

January 30, 2017

On Friday in New York, there were sales of gold from the Gold Trust of 0.45 of a tonne, not enough to affect the gold price, which rose on the first day of the Lunar New Year, much to our surprise, as we saw the day as opportune for the bears to strike. Instead, bullish positions on COMEX rose as did the price of gold.

Market Report: Consolidating the rise so far

January 27, 2017

The timing of the slight pull back is, surprise, surprise, just before futures option expiration, when the takers who have sold options doubtless wish to see calls with strikers at $1200 and less expire worthless. They have their wish, and on the week gold this morning in early European trade stood at $1182.50, down $28, and silver at $16.70, down 38 cents.

Silver Market Morning: Jan 27 2017 - Gold and Silver weaker after options and Shanghai closed!

January 27, 2017

Shanghai was closed today until next Friday for the Lunar New Year celebrations. Yesterday it traded between 268 and 266.80 but the Fixes have not been released today. This equates to $1,212.38 and dropping to $1,206.95 Which was in line with London then, before New York took it down further as Options were closed.

Silver Market Morning: Jan 26 2017 - Gold and Silver weakening on options and Shanghai closing!

January 26, 2017

Shanghai was trading today around 266.80 Yuan or in dollars, at today’s exchange rate, $1,206.95. The dollar was weaker across the board, but only slightly against the Yuan. We correct ourselves and inform you that today is the last trading day before the ‘Year of the Rooster’ celebrations, which begin tomorrow and end next Thursday. Business will continue next Friday, there.

Silver Market Morning: Jan 25 2017 - Gold and Silver consolidating!

January 25, 2017

Shanghai was trading today around 268.75 Yuan or in dollars, at today’s exchange rate, $1,215.58. The dollar was stronger across the board, as well as against the Yuan. With only two more trading days before the celebration of the ‘Year of the Rooster’ begins we may well see last minute buying or a tapering off of demand. It is impossible to forecast which.

Silver Market Morning: Jan 24 2017 - Gold and Silver consolidating!

January 24, 2017

Shanghai was trading today just above 270 Yuan or in dollars, at today’s exchange rate, $1,226,15 having touched nearly 272 during the day. The dollar is only slightly weaker across the board, as well as against the Yuan. New York, Monday, closed in line with gold prices in Shanghai earlier in the day, before New York opened. This is a first, as New York climbed up to Shanghai’s levels despite an over 2 tonne sell-off from the SPDR gold ETF.

Alasdair Macleod: Silver, Gold and Commodities in 2017

January 23, 2017

China launched the One Belt One Road (OBOR) project 5+ years ago and made their first rail delivery in February 2016. China has been stock piling commodities, especially base metals, like copper and steel, for the past 2+ years in order to produce all the finished goods necessary to construct the largest infrastructure the world has ever seen. In 2016 we witnessed close to a doubling of the market price for iron ore and Alasdair sees this trend continuing into 2017.
