Market Nugget: Deutsche Bank: Majority Of Gold Correction May Have 'Already Occurred'

Monday July 8, 2013 12:53 AM




Deutsche Bank says much of the downward price correction in gold may have already occurred. “Lessons from history suggest that although gold price losses have been extreme, the extent of the price correction…is still some way short of the percentage declines that occurred in 1980-1,” the bank says in a weekly commodities report. “However, we would classify events over 30 years as significantly different since at that time U.S. short-term interest rates rose to 20% with real interest rates also rising rapidly. As a result, while we still view Fed policy as a strong headwind to gold returns, it is possible that the major part of the gold price correction has now already occurred.” Deutsche Bank looks for $1,350 gold in the third quarter, $1,300 in the fourth and then $1,350 again in the first quarter of 2014.

Gold set to shine again in recovery from worst quarterly drop in 113 years

Could there be a ray of light in sight for the goldbugs? Those with a bullish view on the metal have certainly had that faith challenged in recent months.

By Garry White and Emma Rowley

8:00PM BST 07 Jul 2013

Gold posted its worst quarterly performance in more than a century for the three months to the end of July, analysts at Macquarie calculate. Specifically, the metal ended the second quarter of 2013 at $1,192 (£782) an ounce, its lowest since August 2010 and representing a fall of more than 25pc below its level at the start of the quarter.

The slide came as investors increasingly turned to equities, lured by the prospect of a yield and reassured by improving economic data to move away from the “safe haven” metal.

The price move downwards then accelerated as Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, last month set out a timetable for unwinding the US central bank’s vast quantitative-easing (QE) programme — making gold less attractive as an inflation hedge.

But now analysts are starting to suggest that the gold price may be bottoming out, or at least be close to that point. Outflows from exchange traded funds (ETFs) have started to ease, but the gold price still remains near lows at $1,214 an ounce.

The negative sentiment has been justified, analysts acknowledge. But part of their reasoning is simply that the fall — representing the worst quarterly price performance for gold since at least the year 1900 — has been so steep that the tide has to turn.

Singapore launches world's first physical precious metals exchange

.POSTED: 03 Jul 2013 10:00 PM



SINGAPORE: Precious metal investors now have a new platform to trade with the launch of the Singapore Precious Metals Exchange (SGPMX).
It is the world's first precious metal exchange that is fully backed by physical precious metals.
With as little as US$1,000, investors can buy, store, transport and trade precious metals like gold and silver.
The whole process is as easy and secure as trading in other financial instruments.
SGPMX said its customer base is growing. It currently has over 10,000 customers with about 1,000 customers from Singapore and 4,000 from Japan.
SGPMX's chief executive officer Victor Foo said: “Unlike those companies, we are not a company that promise any profit returns or guarantee. As an exchange, we are merely a platform to provide opportunities for people to buy and to sell. When you buy, you take full ownership of the bullion that you buy. There is no reason to worry about a collapse or a scam because you take ownership from day one.”
Investor and author, Jim Rogers, are among those that started to trade on the new exchange by buying more gold on Wednesday.
He is not concerned about the recent correction in gold prices and said he will keep buying more gold.
“If gold price goes down 50 per cent from its high, that will be US$960. Why can't gold sell between US$900 and US$1,000? I know it can and perhaps it will. If that happens, I hope I am smart enough to buy a lot more,” said Rogers.

Physical Demand And Silver-To-Gold Ratio Signal Strong Rally In Silver Prices

Jul 6 2013, 06:33 by: Moneyline

http://seekingalpha.com/author/moneyline



Silver prices have slumped to deeper lows in June 2013 after having been smashed big time earlier in April. Technical indicators suggest an extremely oversold condition and that a rise seems imminent. On a weekly basis, RSI (relative strength indicator) is at the lowest in 40 years of data and nearly that low on a daily basis. This timing indicator suggests that silver is extremely oversold on both a daily and weekly basis. Gold is similarly oversold. Technically, a rally in gold and silver prices is absolutely unavoidable. Then why have bullion seen a steep and steady decline in prices? Having said about Gold and Silver being in technically oversold conditions, market manipulation yet, will of course play its own part in defining price direction, even though for a small volatile period now.

Take a look at a recent statement by GATA: Market-rigging central banks laugh at technical analysis and 'fundamentals'

GATA said: "Technical analysis of a manipulated market like gold has been tedious nonsense for years, but these days, with virtually infinite paper dropped on the gold futures market at illiquid times to drive the price down even as the physical market remains strong, technical analysis has become insulting. The only analysis worth anything anymore is the identification of the source of all the paper. The suspects are obvious - Western central banks."

As of Friday, June 28, 2013, the Commitment of Traders (COT) data by the CFTC indicates that net long difference was the lowest since the beginning of January 2001 and probably also for several decades. This indicates that the large bullion banks (JPM, etc.) are in net longs and also in a position to profit from a sharp rally in the Gold and Silver prices - especially Silver. Also that, JPMorgan has announced an overweight buy call in commodities proves my point and should help see money flows from institutional investors. India's gold demand has always had a huge influence on gold prices. Due to the recent extreme steps undertaken by the Indian govt. to curb demand, gold imports by India have dipped since the mid of May 2013. But Indians seem to have simply shifted their focus from Gold to Silver and Silver imports by India have seen sudden spurts since April 2013. Just imagine what can happen when the world's largest gold buyer is compelled to quit gold investments and thereby completely focusing now on Silver!

Special Report - How to Avoid Fake Silver & Counterfeit Gold Products

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enBD3GsIaJU&feature=player_embedded

If you have followed gold and silver market news over the past few years, it is likely you have seen various reports on fake gold and silver products.

In March 2012, a 1 kilo tungsten gold bar turned up in the United Kingdom.

Then in September 2012 there were reports on a slew of 10 oz tungsten gold bars bought and sold in New York's jewelry district.

The big problem with these news reports is that they have given little to no solution on how the public at large can avoid fake bullion products.  

We would like to raise the general awareness of this issue both with our customers, our industry, and the general gold and silver investing public at large.  With more than a year of hands on research, we have identified some of the biggest fake silver and gold counterfeit threats facing the investing public today.

This Special Report on the growing threat of fake silver and counterfeit gold products will arm you with solutions on how to best avoid being ripped off by sellers of phony bullion products.

For many years in the silver bullion industry, rebuttals downplaying counterfeit product concerns would go something like this:

It is less likely that counterfeiters will make fake silver coins if they could make fake gold products or larger fake silver bars.  It would also be very difficult to make high quality fake silver coins with exact weighting.  Also the US gov't has very strict laws against counterfeiting making the production of private mint product fakes far more attractive for counterfeiters ( the punishment being less severe for producing private mint fake products vs gov't mint fake products ).  Finally, there's just not enough profit in it for crooks to make counterfeit silver coins.

None of these arguments hold water now...

 

 

 

The fact is high quality fake silver coins and small fake silver bars are being produced in high volumes in China.  In particular there are fake silver eagle coins being struck and distributed priced as low as 50¢ a piece ( with capacity of wholesale production lots of 100,000+ pieces ).   

"As long as China allows these manufacturers to produce these ( fake ) legal tender coins, it is an act of war when one country counterfeits another country's legal tender currency.  So this is very, very serious."  states Mike Maloney, author of the #1 book on gold and silver investing.

When Silver Becomes Real Medicine

Silver has been used to heal infections for thousands of years. It is currently commonly used in alternative medicine in its colloidal form suspended in water as a broad spectrum treatment for infections with bacteria, viruses and fungi in both humans and animals.

 

A recently published scientific study led by James Collins of Boston University has confirmed this usage by showing how silver ions disrupt and ultimately kill bacteria by increasing the permeability of their cellular membranes.

 

The Mainstream Meets Silver

 

It looks like silver may finally start to hit the mainstream when it comes to its long known medicinal properties as an antibiotic, although silver nitrate drops have been used for years by medical doctors and midwives to prevent conjunctivitis in the eyes of newborns. Silver containing ointments have also been used medically to prevent infection when treating burn victims.

 

Silver nitrate drops and ointments are one thing, but this new scientific revelation could turn out to be revolutionary in terms of supporting a new frontier for silver’s use in medicine, not only by itself, but also in conjunction with existing antibiotics to make them even more effective.

Furthermore, the toxicity of silver is remarkably low in comparison with other metals, although a few cases of people’s skin turning a pale blue grey color due to excessive use — a rare condition known as argyria — have been reported.

 

A Review of Silver’s Additional Medical Uses

 

Demand for silver in medicine is definitely on the increase, as the need grows and the sick get sicker. Silver has potential antibiotic properties that make it especially valuable in fighting strains of bacteria that have become resistant to other antibiotics.

 

A classic example is the especially worrisome Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus or MSRA bacteria that colloidal silver has been shown to kill efficiently. The legionella bacterium that causes Legionnaires disease is also susceptible to treatment with silver.

 

In addition to its use in wound healing for burn victims and the eyes of newborns, silver has also been used to sterilize surfaces such as door knobs, bathrooms, catheters, scrubs and even sometimes in clothing.

 

Colloidal silver has become increasingly popular as an orally and topically administered antibiotic among alternative medicine practitioners. It is relatively inexpensive, it can be made at home with simple equipment and it has remarkably low toxicity.

 

Furthermore, colloidal silver acts on a broad spectrum of infectious agents, thereby making tests to identify the specific agent unnecessary before treatment is initiated.

 

Health Care and Big Pharma’s Influence on Silver

 

Although Big Pharma had largely ignored or even actively discouraged the use of silver in medicine due to its inability to be patented and profited from, even they may finally be embracing the ancient medicine to make their chemically created products more effective.

 

Nevertheless, many alternative medical practitioners would question the motives behind using any other product than colloidal silver when treating an infection due to its long proven efficacy and safety in such cases.

 

The sad irony is that because of both the inefficiency and the litigiousness surrounding health care and standard of care, silver’s medical use will likely expand into areas where it is not necessarily needed, perhaps having a negative environmental impact.

 

What this all means for the silver market is that the medical industry is quickly becoming the equivalent of a new industrial user for silver. This new study potentially allows pharmaceutical companies an opportunity to expand the life of older generation branded antibiotics to which bacteria have become increasingly resistant.

 

All in all, the rapidly growing medical market for silver is creating yet another small engine to help drive silver’s demand curve. Furthermore, perhaps because of silver’s lingering demand as a monetary metal, other uses for silver often seem overlooked by mainstream observers who have just as much understanding of its various uses as they do about its farcical price discovery and seem utterly detached from the underlying supply and demand fundamentals that should be driving its price.
