Very Good Point Pento: NEGATIVE INTEREST RATES BULLISH FOR GOLD

Pento: US to Default, Crushing Dollar & Creating Gold Explosion
16 January 2012
, by Eric King (King World News)
http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2012/1/16_Pento__US_to_Default,_Crushing_Dollar_%26_Creating_Gold_Explosion.html

Excerpt:

It is clear that the intrinsic value of the dollar is eroding in an expedited manner.  

The Ten year Treasury note is now yielding 1.93%, that is down in yield from 3.34% a year ago today.

Meanwhile, the year over year increase in Consumer Price Inflation jumped to 3.4% in November, up from 1.1% in the twelve months prior.  

Therefore, real interest rates are negative and falling.  

Falling real interest rates reduces investors’ appetites to hold dollars and increases their willingness to buy gold.....

Economists pan idea of new US gold standard
19 January 2012
, (AFP)
http://www.france24.com/en/20120119-economists-pan-idea-new-us-gold-standard

As Republican presidential hopefuls entertain calls to fix the value of the dollar to the price of gold, a panel of leading economists on Wednesday roundly panned the idea of a return to the gold standard.

A poll of nearly 40 bipartisan economists showed no support for the idea that pegging the currency to the price of gold would lead to a more stable US jobs market or keep prices in check.

Asked by University of Chicago whether a return to the gold standard would lead to price-stability and employment outcomes that "would be better for the average American," 100 percent of respondents said no.

Republican candidate Ron Paul has long advocated a return to the gold standard -- which was abandoned by the United States in 1971 and decades before by the rest of the world -- but his competitors have also warmed to the idea.

Campaigning in South Carolina on Tuesday Newt Gingrich called for a "gold commission" to look at how to get back to "hard money," according to CNN.

Even that less than full-throated support was not shared by poll respondents.

"A gold standard regime would be a disaster for any large advanced economy. Love of the (gold standard) implies macroeconomic illiteracy," said Chicago Booth's Anil Kashyap.

"Eesh. Has it come to this?" responded Austan Goolsbee, former top economist to Barack Obama and now a Chicago professor, expressing his strong disagreement.

Other objections were more specific.

"Since gold has supply and demand dynamics of its own, for reasons unrelated to its use as a store of value, Americans would exposed to risk," said Caroline Hoxby of Stanford University.

India to pay gold instead of dollars for Iranian oil. Oil and gold markets stunned
23 January 2012
, (DEBKAfile)
http://www.debka.com/article/21673/

India is the first buyer of Iranian oil to agree to pay for its purchases in gold instead of the US dollar, debkafile's intelligence and Iranian sources report exclusively.  

Those sources expect China to follow suit.

India and China take about one million barrels per day, or 40% of Iran's total exports of 2.5 million bpd. Both are superpowers in terms of gold assets.

By trading in gold, New Delhi and Beijing enable Tehran to bypass the upcoming freeze on its central bank's assets and the oil embargo which the European Union's foreign ministers agreed to impose Monday, Jan. 23.

The EU currently buys around 20% of Iran's oil exports.

The vast sums involved in these transactions are expected, furthermore, to boost the price of gold and depress the value of the dollar on world markets.

Iran's second largest customer after China, India purchases around $12 billion a year's worth of Iranian crude, or about 12% of its consumption.

Delhi is to execute its transactions, according to our sources, through two state-owned banks: the Calcutta-based UCO Bank, whose board of directors is made up of Indian government and Reserve Bank of India representatives; and Halk Bankasi (Peoples Bank), Turkey's seventh largest bank which is owned by the government.

An Indian delegation visited Tehran last week to discuss payment options in view of the new sanctions.

The two sides were reported to have agreed that payment for the oil purchased would be partly in yen and partly in rupees. The switch to gold was kept dark.

India thus joins China in opting out of the US-led European sanctions against Iran's international oil and financial business.

Turkey announced publicly last week that it would not adhere to any sanctions against Iran's nuclear program unless they were imposed by the United Nations Security Council.

The EU decision of Monday banned the signing of new oil contracts with Iran at once, while phasing out existing transactions by July 1, 2012, when the European embargo, like the measure enforced by the United States, becomes total.

The European foreign ministers also approved a freeze on the assets of the Central Bank of Iran which handles all the country's oil transactions.

However, the damage those sanctions cause the Iranian economy will be substantially cushioned by the oil deals to be channeled through Turkish and Indian state banks.  

China for its part has declared its opposition to sanctions against Iran.

DEBKAfile's intelligence sources disclose that Tehran has set up alternative financial mechanisms with China and Russia for getting paid for its oil in currencies other than US dollars.

Both Beijing and Moscow are keeping the workings of those mechanisms top secret.

Turk - Greek Default Imminent as Financial Crisis Propels Gold
24 January 2012
, by Eric King (King World News)
http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2012/1/24_Turk_-_Greek_Default_Imminent_as_Financial_Crisis_Propels_Gold.html

Excerpt:

We’ve had an incredible advance off the lows, but keep in mind we have an option expiry this Thursday so the shorts may attempt to keep the price of gold near the $1,650 level

If we do get that manipulation back down to the $1,650 level, it will be a great buying opportunity for money on the sidelines which has missed the move so far and wishes to enter the gold market.

So I expect any test of support at $1,650 to be solid for that reason.

Hong Kong to get first yuan-denominated gold ETF
31 January 2012, Hong Kong
(MarketWatch)
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/hong-kong-to-get-first-yuan-denominated-gold-etf-2012-01-31

Hong Kong's stock market plans to host its first yuan-denominated exchange-traded fund tracking bullion prices next month, the second yuan-denominated security to trade on the city's bourse.

The ETF, to be listed on Feb. 14 under the stock code 83168, will track the London gold fixing price.

Providers of the fund, Hang Seng Bank Ltd., said it launched the product with the idea of tapping demand for wealth-management products amid fast-growing deposits of the Chinese currency within the Hong Kong's banking system.

A Gold (And Physical Platinum) Bug At The Fed?
2 February 2012
, by Tyler Durden (Zero Hedge)
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/goldbug-fed

Excerpt:

None other than the Dallas Fed’s Dick Fisher, who however is no longer a voting Fed president in the 2012 year, is a proud owner of at least $1 million worth of Gold in the form of the GLD ETF….and another up to $250K in physical (not paper) platinum.

Which begs the question: is Fisher the only Fed president to have seen the light and to put a substantial portion of his wealth in the only asset class that benefits in real terms, from the perpetuation of the Fed’s dollar, and fiat broadly, debasement strategy?

Vietnam battles 'gold fever' as price soars
12 February 2012
, (AFP)
http://www.france24.com/en/20120212-vietnam-battles-gold-fever-price-soars

Stashing gold at home rather than having cash in the bank is a generations-old habit in communist Vietnam, but a recent surge in prices has sparked government attempts to bring the yellow metal to heel.

Last year the country bought more gold per capita than India or China, according to the World Gold Council, and domestic prices soared by 18% -- far outstripping the global market's 11% increase.

And old habits are dying hard, according to 60-year-old retiree Truong Van Hue, even if an ounce of gold bullion can now cost up to $100 more in Hanoi than anywhere else in the world.

"I still like to keep my savings in gold. It's safe for retired people like me. I can sell the gold any time, anywhere, when I need cash," he told AFP.

Although the treasure has long been perceived as a safe haven, the recent gold rush has alarmed Vietnam's government, which is faced with an 18% inflation rate and an unstable national currency, the dong.

Officials are trying to dampen the gold fever by bringing the trade back into their hands, almost two decades after they formally legalised the already-common practice of private gold ownership and trading.

An alchemy of financial measures initiated last summer include a decree that placed the gold bullion business of Saigon Jewelry Company, a dominant processor and trader, under the control of the central bank.

Limiting widespread street-level trading of gold will, the official line goes, reduce price volatility and prevent retail investors from pouring into the precious metal, which undermines the already-shaky dong.

To this end, officials are also considering a second measure which could force more than 10,000 jewelry shops to get out of the bullion business and focus strictly on jewelry instead.

"They want to control the gold," said a manager at Phu Quy Jewelry Company, whose digital signs feature the bid and ask prices for local "taels" -- 37.5 grams of gold bullion.

"I really can't say if it's a good or bad idea. But here in Vietnam we need (economic) stability," he said, on condition of anonymity.

For practical reasons, many Vietnamese prefer to keep their savings in gold, saying the 14% maximum interest rates offered by banks for dong deposits fall well short of last year's 18.6% cost-of-living rise.

Recent slumps in the real estate and stock markets have further heightened the gold rush, economists say, as have signals from the central bank that the dong could be due for another devaluation later this year.

"People have tried to control the damage by fleeing into gold," said Le Dang Doanh, a former senior government economist.

Vietnam's love of the yellow metal is centuries-old, rooted in a history of strife, warfare and want. "Empires may fall, currencies may change... gold will always survive," said sociologist Vu Duc Vuong.

Restricting the gold trade dovetails with an ongoing national campaign to encourage Vietnamese to bank their gold, reversing the practice of keeping it at home.

Details of the plan are not yet public, but bankers say the government is considering ways to lure savers by offering better returns and security.

The government estimates that between 300 and 500 tons of gold are privately held by Vietnamese citizens outside of the banking system, the central bank governor said last month.

Placing this private gold in banks, officials explain, would provide authorities with more leverage to stabilise the economy.

"If the profit is a little higher and the banks prove their credibility, I expect 80% of the public will deposit their gold," Nguyen Thanh Truc, CEO of the Agribank Jewelry Company said.

The moves to rein in the gold trade come after a dramatic improvement of living standards since Vietnam started a shift to "market-oriented socialism."

Two decades of economic growth lifted the country to middle income status in early 2011, as measured by the World Bank. But progress is threatened by macro-economic issues including persistently high inflation, and corruption.

A return to single-digit inflation would restore public confidence and cool gold fever, the economist Doanh said, adding that any policy has to address the Vietnamese reliance on gold as a form of security.

"If the policy acts against the interest of the people, they (will) move into informal trading which could hardly be controlled," he said, adding that already an estimated 20 to 60 tons of gold is smuggled into Vietnam each year.

People on Hanoi's Ha Trung Street, a hub of the busy gold trade, are skeptical of the government's efforts.

"They will make it a bit harder, but I believe there will always be ways to trade the bars," said Tran Hoang Long, a 40-year-old gold trader.

Fortune magazine and Warren Buffett mislead investors and skew the facts!

http://youtu.be/kmgQf_C_C80

How Business Insider holds up Warren Buffett as some do no wrong business man. Buffet has been caught engaging in illegal accounting numerous times yet gets a pass from the government.
Fortune magazine is a scam. It's bankrolled from Wall Street. Of course they would be anti gold.

Goldman remains bullish on gold even after gains http://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-remains-bullish-on-gold-even-after-gains-2012-02-22

Unlike some other metals, the bank still sees a “value opportunity” in gold, even after gains of around 12% so far this year.

“The gap between prices and fundamentals remains sufficiently large to lead us to reiterate our recommended long position in the metal,” it said.

Goldman Sachs recently closed its long position in copper–having previously recommended it, along with gold–citing the metal’s strong uptick in 2012 and a softening fundamental outlook.

One word...WAR

The Gold-Oil Ratio - The Link Between Gold and Oil

Gold and crude oil prices tend to rise and fall in sympathy with one another. There are two reasons for this:

Historically, oil purchases were paid for in gold. Even today, a sizable percentage of oil revenue ends up invested in gold. As oil prices rise, much of the increased revenue is invested as it is surplus to current needs -- and much of this surplus is invested in gold or other hard assets.

Rising oil prices place upward pressure on inflation. This enhances the appeal of gold because it acts as an inflation hedge.

The Relationship

Gold Before analyzing the relationship gold has with the commodity currencies, it is important to first understand the connection between gold and the U.S. dollar. Although the United States is the worlds sec­ond largest producer of gold (behind South Africa ), a rally in gold prices does not produce an appreciation of the dollar. Actually, when the dollar goes down, gold tends to go up, and vice versa. This seem­ingly illogical occurrence is a by-product of the perception investors hold of gold. During unstable geopolitical times, traders tend to shy away from the dollar and instead turn to gold as a safe haven for their investments. In fact, many traders call gold the "antidollar." Therefore, if the dollar depreciates, gold gets pushed up as wary investors flock from the declining greenback to the steady commodity. The AUD/USD, NZD/USD, and USD/CHF currency pairs tend to mirror gold's move­ments the closest because these other currencies all have significant natural and political connections to the metal.

Starting in the South Pacific, the AUD/USD has a very strong posi­tive correlation (0.80) with gold as shown in Figure 9.12; therefore, whenever gold prices go up, the AUD/USD also tends to go up as the Australian dollar appreciates against the U.S. dollar. The reason for this relationship is that Australia is the worlds third largest producer of gold, exporting about $5 billion worth of the precious metal annually. Because of this, the currency pair amplifies the effects of gold prices twofold. If instability is causing an increase in prices, this probably sig­nals that the USD has already begun to depreciate. The pairing will then be pushed down further as importers of gold demand more of Australia 's currency to cover higher costs. The New Zealand dollar tends to follow the same path in the AUD/USD pairing because New Zealand 's economy is very closely linked to Australia 's. The correlation in this pairing is also approximately 0.80 with gold (see Figure 9.13 for the chart).
