Exclusive interview with Egon von Greyerz. A Swiss gold referendum YES vote would be a trendsetter for central banks and a shock in the gold market

As you can see I didn’t ask if the U.S. government will confiscate gold, but if world governments will. The exorbitant debt is global and today is so big that the risk of gold confiscation is global, not just in the U.S.

We can’t speak about the manipulation of the gold price today without understanding the derivatives market. Right after the crash of 2000 in the stock market I became alarmed by the exponential increase of derivative products but especially by the complexity of those products.

An unexpected precipitating event like a black swan event in this uncertain environment will push gold and silver up with a quantum leap with gold leading. The geopolitical and economic environment in the last few months was in my view the calm before the storm.

After the original drop in gold price from the top of $1,920 per ounce in 2011 to $1,180 per ounce in 2013, gold has started a sideways consolidation triangle pattern. Is this a correction, or is it just a pause within a move that will retrace the whole move since 2009? What does sentiment tell us?

If we look at the global gold demand it mostly splits in two: investment demand and jewellery demand. But is this a correct description of the actual gold’s demand?

Exclusive video interview with Ronald-Peter Stöferle. Gold, as the antagonist of unbacked paper currencies, remains an excellent hedge against rising price inflation and worst-case scenarios

In this transitional period to a new world order where uncertainty and risks dominate, gold is money in extremis and the preferred central banks’ reserve.

It seems that it is not the death of gold and silver as money that will happen, but rather the death of fiat money. For more than 2,000 years, gold and silver have been used as money under different forms and have outlived any other form of currency.

Exclusive interview with Julian D. W. Phillips about gold, geopolitics & the big reset. Goldbroker.com has started to produce video interview about the #gold market, watch the first one here

To understand the price of gold, the relevant supply is the total supply, not the new supply coming to market during the last year, week or month.

United States is one of the most important players in the gold market. It is, in my opinion, the most anti-gold country of all the major five players.

With such a large quantity of gold, it is evident that the Euro Area will play a major role in any reset of the international monetary system that will involve gold.

Both Russia and China have decided to put gold at the center of their currency war against the “exorbitant privilege” of the US dollar.

In this article, I will look at the importance of India in the gold market. In India, gold is religion. India's love affair with gold is timeless, spanning centuries even millennia.

We cannot understand today’s gold market without understanding the role China and, in a different way, India play in it. The gold market in general is very opaque and the Chinese one, in particular, is even more. In this article, I will look at China’s role in the gold market.

Let us look now at the relationship, if there is one, between gold and platinum. Is platinum “white gold”, or “little silver” as the Spaniards call it, or is platinum different from gold and silver.

With the help of a few graphs, going from the very long term to the short-term, let us look at gold and silver’s performance since the beginning of the 19th century.

Can we predict the price of gold by observing the gold mining index? As a reference for this article, I have chosen the Barron’s Gold Mining Index (BGMI), since it has been published since 1940 and thusly provides a long basis for analysis.
