Gold Seeker Closing Report: Gold and Silver Fall Over 1% Posted: 05 Dec 2011 07:19 AM PST Gold fell $17.60 to $1728.40 by about 8AM EST before it bumped back up to almost unchanged at $1745.30 in the next two hours of trade, but it then fell back off for most of the rest of the day and ended near its late session low of $1717.73 with a loss of 1.41%.

Eurozone crisis: Germany and France agree rescue package Posted: 05 Dec 2011 06:19 AM PST Germany and France have struck a grand bargain that they hope will save the euro, burying their differences over a rigorous new regime to drive down eurozone debt and restore market confidence in the battered single currency. At talks in Paris viewed as a last chance to prevent the collapse of the currency, triggering a new western recesssion, the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, agreed a package of new measures to take to an EU summit on Thursday, where the deal will be contested but probably blessed...

Posted: 05 Dec 2011 05:59 AM PST Monday 5 December, 09:00 EDT "Political Volatility" Ahead as Merkel Heads to Paris, Indian Dealers Seeing "Virtually No Demand for Gold" Despite Wedding Season THE DOLLAR gold price fell to $1731 per ounce by Monday lunchtime – 0.8% below where it ended last week – while stocks and commodities edged higher and US Treasury bond prices fell ahead of a meeting between the leaders of France and Germany in Paris. "There is likely to be a fair amount of volatility on the political front this week," warns Nic Brown, head of commodities research at Natixis. "Should sentiment improve further in the market," adds Commerzbank analyst Eugen Weinberg, "it wouldn't be surprising if [the gold price]falls again, but it may also come under pressure if the rest of commodity sector comes under pressure." The silver price meantime dipped to $32.53 per ounce – still broadly in line with Friday's close – while yields on Italian and Spanish bonds continued to ease. Italy's "huge public debt…is not Europe's fault," Italian prime minister Mario Monti told a press conference on Sunday. "It is the fault of Italians." Monti – who is also reported to be giving up his salary – was unveiling €30 billion of emergency austerity measures, including plans to remove inflation index-linking for many pensions. Italy's welfare minister Elsa Fornero dissolved into tears when she tried to announce the measures, unable to utter the word 'sacrifice'. In Paris meantime, French president Nicolas Sarkozy met German chancellor Angela Merkel today to discuss how the 17-member Eurozone might move towards the creation of a fiscal union. Merkel has repeatedly argued that greater fiscal discipline among Eurozone national governments – with a tougher set of budget rules – is the only way to provide a lasting solution to the crisis. "For several months now, it's Merkel who decides and Sarkozy who follows," Francois Hollande, French Socialist Party presidential candidate, said last week. Fellow Socialist Arnaud Montebourg has described Merkel's policy as "Bismarck-like" – a reference to Germany's chancellor at the time of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71 – while Pierre Moscovici, an aide to Hollande, said today that a budgetary union would "erode our national sovereignty". Front National leader Marine Le Pen – who has called for France to quit the Euro – also said this weekend that France's sovereignty is under threat. Should agreement on further fiscal integration be reached at this Friday's European Union summit, then "the door should swing open for the [European Central Bank] to become more aggressive" reckons Erik Nielsen, global chief economist at Italian bank UniCredit. Eurozone national central banks meantime could provide hundreds of billions of Euros to the International Monetary Fund, money that would then be put into a special fund from which to aid distressed European sovereigns, according to a report in German newspaper Die Welt. The US Federal Reserve may also contribute, the newspaper added. The Netherlands has the most debt-burdened households in the Eurozone, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Many Dutch, it reports, took out mortgages worth 125% of their home's value in the years before the global financial crisis – leaving Netherlands households with a debt-to-income ratio of 249.5%. Second on the list is Portugal, the report says, with a ratio of 128.6%. "From a financial stability perspective, we think the mortgage loan-to-value ratios are too high," says Gerbert Hebbink, senior economist at the Dutch National Bank. "This debt makes the economy much more vulnerable to shocks in the housing market, interest rates and employment." The number of bullish minus bearish contracts held by noncommercial gold futures and options traders on New York's Comex exchange – the so-called speculative net long – fell for a second week running in the week ended 29 November, dropping 2.5%, according to data published Friday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Over the same period, the Dollar gold price rose 0.5%. Total open interest meantime – the total number of unsettled contracts from the period – fell 4.7%, its third weekly fall. "That the gold price has risen against falling open interest on Comex does imply a weaker market, with caution central for now and somewhat transfixed on both positive and negative news flows," said a note from precious metals consultants VM Group this morning. Over in India – the world's largest source of private gold bullion demand – the Rupee gold price approached all-time highs Monday morning as the Rupee fell against the Dollar. Despite India being in the middle of the wedding season, "there is virtually no demand for gold" says Prithviraj Kothari, president of the Bombay Bullion Association. "Demand is very slack," agrees Vasu Acharya director at Parker Bullion in Ahmedabad.

Posted: 05 Dec 2011 05:33 AM PST After a very turbulent year, silver now looks set to take off again. In this article I will tell you why I think so. First of all, let's look at the Commitment Of Traders reports. Commercials have yet again reduced their Net Short position in Silver, which is now close to the low of 2003 at the beginning of the Bull Market. Commercials are generally seen as the "smart money", so if they reduce their Net Short Position, they expext price to rise (or at least not drop substantially). The reason why Commercials are the "Smart Money", is that – unlike the millions of small investors who burn their hands by buying high and selling low – they tend to "Buy" low (reduce short positions as price declines) and "Sell" high (increase short positions as price rises). The fact that one should "Buy Low" and "Sell High" is the best way to invest can be seen in the following chart. As Sentiment (or Commercials Net Short Positions) climbes into the orange area, it's time to become cautious. It sure can rise (substantially) higher, but cautiousness is the first step in detecting tops. The second step is to look at perspective. Sentimentrader indicators are overlaid with standard deviation bands that show you how extreme the current reading is compared to its recent history. So if sentiment rises above the red standard deviation band, we know that this is an unsustainable situation, and that sentiment has to reverse (decline) over time. In fact, when we look at the chart below, we might be in an even BETTER position now than in 2008. It looks like the massive drop a couple of weeks ago – which took silver down to $26 – was the "perfect" entry point, price wise. Look at 2008. As long as price was below the 50EMA, you shouldn't have bought. The best time to buy in my opinion was early December 2008, when price broke above this 50EMA and both the RSI and MACD broke out above the red resistance lines. We are currently in a similar position, as there is resistance at $34 which acted as support in the first half of 2011. Silver tends to follow Gold, so we should also look at sentiment in Gold. When we look at the Gold:Silver ratio, we can see that the ratio is now facing strong resistance at the 38.20% Fibonacci Level. Silver is ready for take-off. The question is, ARE YOU?

AngloGold Ashanti Ltd.: In An Uncertain Market, Gold Miner May Be A Good Bet Posted: 05 Dec 2011 05:32 AM PST By David White: In the past two weeks we have seen the market plummet last week. Then it soared this week. How can you invest in this kind of market? One way is to bet on gold. The ECB is likely going to lower interest rates again this month. It has been buying sovereign bonds, especially Spanish and Italian ones, to stem the attacks on the various EU member bonds. The EU seems to be positioning itself to do more concerted money printing to stave off the bond attacks. China recently lowered its reserve requirements. The RBA lowered rates last month, and it may do so again this month. Virtually all signs point to higher inflation for the future. The only worry is a market panic due to the EU credit crisis and coming EU recession. That would almost certainly push commodities down, including gold.

Posted: 05 Dec 2011 05:07 AM PST One of the principal accomplishments (already) of the "Occupy Wall Street" protest movement is that is has correctly focused our attention on the real enemy: "the top-1%". It is very important that readers remain focused upon that point, because (as usual) the media propaganda machine is not only seeking to twist the facts, but to distort the actual issue itself. There are two ways in which the media has been distorting this problem. One of these methods is extremely obvious while the other is much more subtle. Beginning with the obvious, we see the media attempting to twist the backlash against the top-1% into a much more muted initiative of "taxing millionaires". To understand how this dilutes and undermines the process of reversing the most-egregious wealth inequality in all of history, we first must understand the nature of this inequality. In an interview on the BBC news program "Hard Talk", a Wall Street insider in the credit default swap market reveals there is more than $200 trillion in debt saturating the global economy. Let's put this into perspective. Even with interest rates artificially suppressed for much of the world (most notably the U.S.), annual interest on this debt is somewhere in excess of $10 trillion per year. Given a global economy with a total GDP of close to $60 trillion, this works out to more than one out of every six dollars of global economic activity wasted in paying interest to the bond parasites. It is debt-slavery. This is such a crippling debt-load that if the global economy was one, single economic entity it would be on the verge of declaring bankruptcy. It has caused some, including Australian economist Steve Keen to call for a "debt jubilee". Readers not familiar with that term may have less trouble understanding my own previous label for that solution: a "bond-burning party". Keen points out that simply "wiping the slate clean" has been history's one-and-only solution to the serial debt-crises caused every time that bankers acquire too much political/economic power – and then bury the world in debts. This solution becomes more obvious as soon as we identify precisely who are these shadowy bond-parasites. They are not ordinary people. We are all net-debtors. They are not corporations. Corporations have become huge, net debtors – brainwashed by the banksters into believing that the only way to grow is through piling on more and more debt. They are not sovereign governments. Indeed, our national governments are the largest net debtors on the planet. The bond-parasites are the top-1%. More specifically, they are the shadowy trillionaires, Oligarchs like the Rothschilds and Rockefellers who are so wealthy they are able to totally conceal their massive wealth-hoards from the rest of the world. Instead, we are regularly subjected to the ludicrous propaganda that mere billionaires like the "Bill Gates" and "Warren Buffets" of the world are the "richest people" on the planet – when they are merely "working class folks" in comparison to the true, idle rich. In seeking to identify precisely who comprises the "kings" of these bond-parasites, there is no better place to start than with the ground-breaking chronology of Charles Savoie – in a body of research he has titled "The Silver Stealers". Savoie points to an elitist group known as "The Pilgrims", and documents much of the activities (and inter-relationships) among these Oligarchs over the past 200 years. As Savoie and other banking historians like Darryl Schoon have noted, the key to the stealing of all the wealth of a society by the ultra-wealthy has always been via banking – and the worthless paper currencies they have managed to foist upon the world any and every time that bankers acquire too much power. |

Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:47 AM PST By Gold Digger: The euro has strengthened somewhat since last week as German and French leaders meet almost every other day in a bid to take over other the euro area nations through swift financial moves. We are seeing that European nations in a bid to fulfill their extravagant life style are now slowly moving towards a goal for which we had two world wars and loss of millions of lives. However, this new war is bloodless and is allowing few dominant nations to take over the functioning of governments of other weaker nations in the European region. What remains to be seen is that how incentives of the politicians of those weaker nations are aligned so that they hand over the power to a German and French duopoly without even taking into consideration the will of people from respective countries. Though the euro will not survive even when only German and French Complete Story » |

Posted: 05 Dec 2011 03:47 AM PST by Brittany Stepniak, WealthWire.com: Listen up, investors: "BUY GOLD," says Bank of America. In a research note, Bank of America told clients that they should buy gold versus the euro as the ECB resorts to quantitative easing to combat the euro zone debt debacle. Judging recent gold patterns, it sounds like they're making the correct assumption… From Goldcore: Gold's London AM fix this morning was USD 1,744, GBP 1,114.88, and EUR 1,296.08 per ounce. Friday's AM fix was USD 1,751.00, GBP 1,116.50, and EUR 1,298.29 per ounce. By mid-week last week, gold had some of the largest single day gains in all of November. As a new month begins, that trend in gold price is expected to contine as investors appear to remain optimistic about solutions in Europe. Those solutions will need "aggressive monetary policy," which is good for gold. Therefore, a majority of gold investors are feeling quite bullish right now. Read More @ WealthWire.com |
Watch Out For Gold Miners ETF Income And Capital Gains Distributions In December Posted: 05 Dec 2011 03:15 AM PST By Michael Murphy: The Market Vectors Gold Miners Exchange-Traded Fund (GDX) and the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Exchange-Traded Fund (GDXJ) each will pay a capital gains and income distribution on December 23. ETFs, like any registered investment company, are required to pay their shareholders 90% of their realized capital gains and net investment income each year in order to maintain their tax-free status. Each of these funds tries to minimize capital gains. Because they are exchange-traded funds, shareholders do not normally redeem shares in order to cash out. Rather, the sell their shares to someone else who wants to hold the ETF. So the funds are not forced by redemptions to sell their underlying securities and realize capital gains and losses, as open-end funds with net redemptions may be forced to do. Van Eck Securities, the investment adviser to these ETFs, expects GDX to pay an income dividend of 9.5 cents per Complete Story » |

Clive Maund: Silver Market Update – 12.5.11 Posted: 05 Dec 2011 02:04 AM PST From Clive Maund: With Europe teetering on the verge of collapse, the world has been teetering on the verge of a deflationary implosion, and it still is. That is the reason for the recent severe downdraft in the markets. What is believed to be happening now is that the global banking elites, who ARE the de facto government in many countries, like the US, are scrambling to prevent the collapse of their European division. The stakes are immense – if they succeed they "will kick the can down the road" and push all or much of the banks' bad debts off onto the electorate and taxpayers via austerity measures, bailouts and tax hikes and the course will be set for a hyperinflationary depression, if they fail then we will see the more immediately dramatic and much feared deflationary implosion. As we will see Smart Money appears to be betting on the banks succeeding in their objectives. Why shouldn't they? – as noted above they are the de facto world government and thus their will should prevail. If Germany and Mrs Merkel, fearing hyperinflation, try to stand in their way, force will be brought to bear – a few more failed bond auctions ought to do the trick. With regards to the banks' power it is interesting to note that Goldman Sachs has more power in the US than the entire US electorate, until the latter become mobilized that is. The sudden realization that the global banks are about to come riding to Europe's rescue is what caused the strong rally across world markets last week, and although the markets look set to take a breather, it looks likely that they will continue higher as the bailout process gains traction. Other aspects of this fundamental situation that are equally applicable to silver are discussed at some length in the parallel Gold Market update and we will now turn to examining the latest silver charts. Superficially silver still looks pretty sick on the charts and weak compared to gold. However, the more closely you look at it, the more bullish the picture becomes. In the last update we had identified a potential Head-and-Shoulders top in silver on its 18-month chart, which would – and still could – become operative if Europe founders and the deflationary scenario prevails. However, the events of last week are evidence that a rescue is in its early stages, and that large scale money creation is on the way in order to faciliate this. This being so the potential H&S top looks set to abort, and there are some important indications that Smart Money has positioned itself for this. CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE On the 3-year chart for silver we can see the potential Head-and-Shoulders top, but we can also see that volume indicators are strong, relative to price, particularly the Accum-Distrib line which rather incredibly has been making new highs just over the past week or two, which is strongly bullish indication. A breakout from the momentum downtrend shown by the MACD indicator will be a sign that a major new uptend is getting started. The position of the silver price relative to its 200-day moving average gives us insight regarding its upside potential from here – it has gone from being way above its 200-day moving average late in April to being some way below this average now – so clearly there is room for a big move up from here. CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE On its 6-month chart we can see that the silver price is currently being contained within the boundaries of an irregular triangular pattern that parallels the more symmetrical one that has formed in gold during the same period. Contact with the upper Triangle boundary and the falling 50-day moving average in November resulted in the price being forced lower again, and also resulted in a failed breakout attempt from the Triangle on Thursday and Friday of last week. However, the Triangle is now rapidly closing up so a breakout MUST occur soon, and while the rather bearish action late last week does suggest a short-term minor reaction, a decisive upside breakout is expected to occur soon, even if it is preceded by a false downside break. In addition to the positive volume indicators, especially the Accum-Distrib line, another factor pointing to the probability of an upside breakout is the fact that the price and 50-day moving average are now quite some way below the still rising 200-day moving average, which was not the case early in November when the price got turned back down. CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE With Commercial short positions and Large and Small Spec long positions having dropped back towards their recent extremely low levels over the past couple of weeks, the COT structure certainly looks highly favorable for a major uptrend to get underway soon. When these extremely low levels persist for weeks but the price doesn't advance it is easy to get skeptical about their implications, we have ourselves. We should not allow ourselves to fall into this trap – by the standards of recent years these readings are very bullish indeed. Conclusion: We are believed to be at a very good entry point for silver and silver related investments here, especially if we see a short-term dip, as a major uptrend is expected to get underway soon.

While it may be true that the dollar floodgates have been opened just a bit wider, it's irrelevant to call this new policy QE3. When Bernanke made it clear last August that he plans to keep short term interest rates near zero for the next two years, he insured that quantitative easing will continue indefinitely. In order to maintain these anorexic interest rates, Bernanke and Dudley have to enter the market to suppress rates by purchasing bonds. Investor Brandon Smith explains: Read More @ Mises.ca |

Posted: 05 Dec 2011 12:41 AM PST Blind Men's Bluff: FED-Defending, Gold-Hating Economists by Gary North, LewRockwell.com: Higher education in the United States was transformed by Rockefeller money, beginning in 1902: the General Education Board. The GEB made grants to colleges only if they hired Ph.D-holding graduates of a handful of universities, which alone granted the Ph.D. This way, the universities could indirectly take over the rest of the colleges, which were mostly church-related. The strategy worked. Rockefeller's academic empire included the University of Chicago, which he founded. From the turn of the 20th century, the University of Chicago's department of economics repudiated the use of gold in monetary affairs. Milton Friedman earned his Nobel Prize for a book researched mainly by his co-author, Anna J. Schwartz: A Monetary History of the United States (1963). Born in 1915, she still works full time.

Is the World Spinning Out of Control? Posted: 05 Dec 2011 12:38 AM PST by Greg Hunter's USAWatchdog.com: More Europe bailout news. Last week, the world was elated with news that the Federal Reserve and five other central banks got together to prop up Eurozone banks drowning on sour sovereign debt, but the crisis is far from over. The latest scheme is for countries to trade sovereignty over their budgets in return for more bailout money. The Sunday Times is reporting the ECB is putting together €1 trillion that will be used for a "colossal" intervention in European bond markets. The paper goes on to say, "The cash injection will only be carried out if leaders can agree on handing over more fiscal control to the EU and for strict controls to be imposed on nations struggling to control their debts." (Click here for more.) Ann Barnhardt, an outspoken commodities brokerage owner who shot to notoriety because she closed her doors in the wake of the MF Global bankruptcy, says it will take much more than €1 trillion. Barnhardt thinks the MF Global implosion and coordinated action by central banks is an early sign of systemic failure approaching. In an interview last week, she said, "Europe is done. Europe is mathematically impossible. It cannot be saved. You even want to make a start at trying to bail out Europe, we're talking $25 trillion JUST TO START…we're in excess of $100 trillion to bail out Europe."
