Gold Jumps Above $1250 As USD Relationship Drops To 3-Month Lows
Gold and silver are rising notably this morning with little specific news aside from the Bafin precious metals manipulation furore. Silver bounced off $20 and is now over $20.40 and Gold is back over $1250. What is perhaps more notable is that the USD is higher once again which supports the fact that the relationship between precious metals and the US Dollar is at its weakest since October (as opposed to its more normal negatively correlated relationship). As Dean Popplewell notes, "we are seeing a short-term phenomenon of physical demand supporting gold and helping to negate the strength in the dollar," as sales of American Eagles coins in January have topped the previous month. However, the tumble in correlation on a longer-term scale suggests gold has more upside to go in the short-term.
Gold and silver bottomed at 715ET and are back nto the green on the week now...
As the relationship between the US Dollar and Gold has dropped to its lowest in 3 months... (the higher the absolute correlation the more 'related' the two assets - with gold and USD
But on a longer-term basis, the correlation just plunged towards the -1 extreme... which in the past has signaled a rise in gold prices in the ensuing months...
As Bloomberg notes:
Gold is rebounding this year after the metal fell the most since 1981 in 2013 partly as the Federal Reserve signaled it would reduce monetary stimulus. Demand has picked up as lower prices attracted buyers. Deliveries by the Shanghai Gold Exchange almost doubled in 2013, and sales of American Eagle coins by the U.S. Mint so far in January topped the previous month’s purchases.

Mr. Enders: It's against our interest to have gold in the system because for it to remain there it would result in it being evaluated periodically. Although we have still some substantial gold holdings -- about $11 billion -- a larger part of the official gold in the world is concentrated in Western Europe. This gives them the dominant position in world reserves and the dominant means of creating reserves. We've been trying to get away from that into a system in which we can control ...
Secretary Kissinger: But that's a balance-of-payments problem.
Mr. Enders: Yes, but it's a question of who has the most leverage internationally. If they have the reserve-creating instrument, by having the largest amount of gold and the ability to change its price periodically, they have a position relative to ours of considerable power. For a long time we had a position relative to theirs of considerable power because we could change gold almost at will. This is no longer possible -- no longer acceptable. Therefore, we have gone to Special Drawing Rights, which is also equitable and could take account of some of the less-developed-country interests and which spreads the power away from Europe. And it's more rational in ...
Secretary Kissinger: "More rational" being defined as being more in our interests or what?
Mr. Enders: More rational in the sense of more responsive to worldwide needs -- but also more in our interest. ...
Its a dog eat dog world ...
The yen is going to 115.
The Euro is going to 126.
That must mean the dollar is going up!!!!!
Gold ... I'll believe it isn't manipulated the day that the CB's of the world admit they are behind the gross' manipulations in the past.
I have written about both gold and Bitcoin. I contend that both are worth owning, I own them both! Of course gold is the core holding, but I think BTC is worth a look at as well. Take a look at both gold and BTC as asset classes, including a "compare & contrast".
This is something I have wanted to write for a while now, as both are fascinating...
"Gold and Bitcoin"
http://tinyurl.com/krm78h7
you know whats funny? a combination of words bitcoin and value
Gold is only inversely correlated with the US dollar sometimes.
http://www.worldcomplex.blogspot.ca/2014/01/isoquants-of-gold.html
gold's fiat price is much more in line with an inverse correlation to global bonds & real estate.
Well done Sir.
Reality just keeps assurting itself.
What a bitch in the paper markets.
CITI Goes Bullish On Miners For The First Time In Three Years
Now CITI joins our small crowd with its bullish call on miners - it is very important development as now these news will go mainstream with the new money being allocated to the sector. Gold is particularly interesting now with the record high Leverage at COMEX of 112 owners for each ounce of Gold and record low level of Registered Stocks. Copper will be gaining attention as well with Chinese biding for huge Las Bambas Copper in Peru making the headlines again. http://sufiy.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/citi-goes-bullish-on-miners-for-firs...
ah, and here I thought GDX and GDXJ were going up because the Deutsche Bros. decided to get out of gold price manipulation.
FUCK THE PRICE FIXERS!
But gold and silver are not "money" so why are they always being "fixed"? Like "fixing" your pet?
Don't cut off my nuts. Just dump those PMs on me.
$10,000/oz.
$10,000?
What is that priced in bitcoins?
$US 10,000/oz.
Wait for it.
How many barrels of oil will it buy?
Hawf!
OK. $10,000 for silver. What do you think gold will be going for?
TGD and LSG.....glad I stuck with them. :)
LSG.....416 million O/S. :(
YAAAWWWWWWN . Wake me up at $2000. Thank you.
It must go thru $1250 before it goes thru $2000.
When it hits 1350+ I'll start to get interested.
Thanks! thats my TakeProfit levels
Oh brother a ZH story about soaring gold. Is it up $8 again?
And there's probably no manipulation huh?
No, it's up 50%.....
..... more than $8 (it's up 12).
I'm not jumping for joy, or saying its going through the moon now, and I agree with your sentiment. The only thing a little different about this one is it happening l a Friday like this, and it is rare that gold and silver are allowed to finish in the green on a Friday, especially with a holiday on Monday.
even better! More than one THOUSAND seven hundred pennies.
Soon, soon! I am working as fast as I can on a quality piece on gold and bitcoin, it's coming... Knowledgeable commentators are welcome to look and send me comments or emails to make it a better piece.
I never would have guessed. Amazing.
If I was an Argentinian....Turkey....I would be buying....and several other countries right now.....just to survive
where do they get it from? Russia? I don't think so. Turkey actually has very larg gold deposits. Argentina has some very interesting geology as well (and appears to be operating in a permanent State of bankruptcy just fine actually.) The market is just trying to price in "meteor mining" that's all. Ten to fifteen million in daily launches is nothing for a State budget. California, Texas, "the Southeast." they're all generating large to massive surpluses right now.
Try buying Gold ( in any form ) in Argentina.......Good Luck !
Try buying Gold ( in any form ) in Argentina.......Good Luck !
Argentina? Damn, you'd think with a reputation like that they'd name it after silver...
oh wait...
"Gold and silver are rising notably..."
Wow, Tyler, I am impressed.... Understatements are not the norm around here.
*grins*
GOLD SMASHES THROUGH $1250 IN FRENZIED BUYING!!
Just for you, Rock. I figured you were desperate for your daily fix of wild hyperbole.

I feel better now....
It's all about the FX.
This is what losing control of price manipulation looks like, albeit what seems to be a painfully slow process, always results a rather sharp price adjustment when all is said and done.
Maybe that's why it's called golden dawn. Sounds like you wake up one day an poof, there's another zero attached to it.
Hey, it worked for the Roman's, for about a year.
stocks also surging. i guess its "buy lots of paper trash day".
i have never understood why silver going from 20.1 to 20.4 is considered 'earth shattering' movment....
jb
it's all relative to the size of your position in the paper market.
Physical just sits around being a safe store of value.
i dont see how its a safe store of value if you bought at $50 in 2011.
or if it drops to $10 in the future and you paid $23 today.
just sayin...
No, it's not. I keep my false and manipulated paper promises in fiat currencies, casino stocks, Japanese muni's and long term piigs paper. And in the near future all my profits will be invested in the best btc mining equipment i can find.
I agree with you. I read all of this stuff about PAPER gold! But I have to convert my gold to fiat to buy gasoline, which is paid for in paper. So you see, the value of my physcial gold in gasoline has gone down significantly over the past year.
Good thing I had a shitload of that digital stuff that I can convert for a shitload more of fiat than gold.
And I had to buy a kilo of Silver Nitrate today. And the price of that shit just goes up.
no you don't. you can wait till paper isn't used as money any more then directly go from silver coin to gas in the tank with no paper in the middle.
I use paper to get paper, I use paper to get metal, and I'll use metal to get goods when paper isn't money anymore.
safe store of value = not paper price
safe store of value = atomic value, ability to be used in industry, chemistry, as medicine & will not be traded for paper at $50000/oz or at $5
Jus' sayin.
indeed. Won't inhibit any deliveries for me. For my agq calls because I'm going cheap on input cost my break-evens are around 35. For silver equivalent that turns out to be (agq x 24 ) ^ 0.5 or 29/oz roughly.
a lot of pumping and dumping going on today ... even though volume seem low, haven't seen options expiration day being this volatile in some time ...
I don't know about metals themselves, but mining companies are on fire right now. Eldorado Gold up 4%, IAMGOLD up 4%, Pan Am Silver up 2%, Silver Standard up 7%. My whole portfolio is up 3.9% today!
It is a nice start, isn't it. All one has to do now is sit back and watch, or even better, keep buying more on the way up.
These have been sold out for like 2 weeks.

Canada Maple Leaf Coin (1 oz)
MY LCS has some of them but they're not selling for some reason. I thought about buying some a while back but when I tapped them to hear the ringing sound they had a dull thud to them unlike a 24k buffalo. I plan to stear away from maples. Too bad because they look nice.
The point I was trying to make was that they are sold out.
Which could suggest something (..........)
Chech out the spread on these silvers. Which could also suggest that demand is so high that they can ask whatever they like and people still buy them.

I spoke to my dealer at lunch and he said that there are some delays in delivery but he said that premiums are not rising.
What was more interesting though was the manager of the shop (who is chinese and the dealer is chinese as well) said that they are beginning a push to buy rental RE properties in the U.S. because they see it as a better opportunity than their gold business in China. Plus they realize that relative to the chinese RE market, the U.S. is undervalued.
Mike Maloney has a video where he explains using the ring test to test for counterfiet coins.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=enBD3GsIaJU#t=366
He says 24k gold coins do NOT make a ring noise because of their softness, but 22k AGEs or Krugs do. Not sure why a 24k buffalo would ring, if it was pure gold.
24k buffalo has a duller ring to it than an AGE for sure. The maples were another level duller than the buffalos and made me suspicious. I have a ring tester app for a tablet that works pretty well so I am fairly sensitive to the reings these things make.
odd because my .9999 fine bars did make a tuning-fork kind of deep ring.
I wonder why a maple would not. Shape? Thickness?
>> 3 partly as the Federal Reserve signaled it would reduce monetary stimulus.
Bull Fucking Shit.
Time to crash the US dollar.
The Fed will take no action on a free-falling US dollar. It wants massive inflation.
Green light to destroy a currency.
Having to be a bit more secretive about manipulation than the usual in your face type stuff because of a miniscule more risk in getting found out?
Day high in VIX, XAU (Gold)...US10Y, 30Y yields dropping... Nasdaq @ day low....
Somethings cookin´...
Yeah! Here's what's going on.

That German investigation into the gold price fixing could be a contributing factor, but the technicals, Chinese desires to replace us as the world's banker all seem to be converging into that late 70s pattern, only with the cosmic factors converging in a few months, it should be months and not years, once the PTB get the call to 'pull the rug out'. Just like ice ages, the flash freeze affect happens very, very, very fast. See that Norway ffreeze yesterday? Cool, no?
"And I had to buy a kilo of Silver Nitrate today. And the price of that shit just goes up."
That movie Blade was almost unwatchable because a regular human was sprayed in the face with silver nitrate and it did nothing to him. In real life, he would be permanently blind and screaming in pain.
gold has just soared an entire 1 THOUSAND 7 hundred pennies today!
LAWD bee praized!
