Hi Marmot,
Very fair comments!

Very fair comments Marmot, I agree entirely!

Hi Goldgnome, nothing has been learned since 2008 an the banks have carried on running the Casino trading using the peoples money (QE) whist those people suffer austerity and increased stealth taxes.
In the meantime the UK parliament is tearing itself apart over whether or not to jump into the Brexit abyss and try to negotiate with the WTO trade deals that will take many decades to complete and be much worse than those it already has under the EU WTO .
Even more worrying is the prospect of a lone UK being at the mercy of lunatic Trumps trade agreement tariffs!

Quite so Herbie, So you did!

but my guess is that the majority are beginning to see the writing on the wall."

"Confronted with an increasingly irritated public...watching with mounting despair...more than a few MPs are worried about the prospect of deselection," says long-time Brexit advocate and blogger Richard North.

With just 58 days until the legally set 29 March deadline, "There will still be a few delusional MPs who believe that the EU will cave in," North goes on, "but my guess is that the majority are beginning to see the writing on the wall."

" We remain positive on gold," says London bullion bank HSBC's chief precious metals analyst James Steel, because "financial market volatility is up compared to last year.

"If you see equity, financial market volatility, indicating a degree of investor uncertainty, that would explain why gold has become more popular in the last couple of months."

"Whilst markets have factored in some of the downside risks of Brexit and US-China trade wars," says the London Bullion Market Association – today presenting its 2019 gold-price forecast survey of professional analysts – "other factors such the level of US real interest rates, strength/weakness of the Dollar, the likely impact of geopolitical factors and the pace of global economic growth continue to provide uncertainty."

"Gold rallies are more likely to be sustained if investor demand is resilient and broad-based," says the new Q4 2018 data and analysis from Refinitiv – formerly the data and risk division of global news agency Thomson Reuters.

"[But] while ETF and bar and coin demand is expected to see a return to growth, physical markets are likely to be subdued due to the higher price level."

With Chinese Yuan gold prices today reaching their highest since April 2017, prices for consumers in No.2 demand nation India today neared fresh all-time record highs according to the Economic Times, with import duty and the 3% GST sales tax taking the price of 99.5% fine jewelry up to 33,815 Rupees per 10 grams in Mumbai's Zaveri Bazaar.

Back in London's wholesale bullion market, silver meantime tracked gold prices higher and then lower ahead of the US Fed interest-rate decision on Wednesday, peaking within 2 cents of $16 per ounce – the highest Dollar price since July.

Platinum prices struggled in contrast, slipping back below last week's closing level at $818 per ounce.

Silver prices are, on today's average LBMA forecast, expected to show a 3.6% rise across 2019 – hitting a peak sometime this year at $17.99 – while platinum prices will fall nearly $30 to average $851 per ounce.

Already slipping 3.1% so far this New Year from 2018's record-high annual average of $1029, palladium is seen rising by almost one-quarter across 2019 on average, extending its surge on a global deficit of supply to meet demand.

"[But] as the trade war drags on," cautions French investment bank Natixis' Bernard Dahdah – the most bearish palladium forecaster for 2019 with a view of just $900 per ounce – "we expect weaker economic growth and [auto] sales in both the US and China.

"The biggest risk to prices [will come] from Russian state reserve sales."

Widely expected to bring no change to Dollar interest rates, today's US Fed decision comes as UK Prime Minister Theresa May prepares to head back to Brussels in a bid to renegotiate the 'Irish backstop' element of the UK's withdrawal agreement with the European Union, rejected in favor of unnamed "alternative arrangements" by a narrow majorit

Absolutely disgraceful the way the US blackmails, threatens and manipulates the rest of the world.
Although this US skulduggery has been going on for decades it is much more difficult to keep in the shadows now since the growth and availability of the of the internet and certainly the election of Trump who can't resist spouting off on Twitter at every opportunity!

Hi Mizolgit,
Thank you for your reply, I too respect you and your right to free speech, also I agree with your opinion on the ETFand paper scams.
As to Kinesis it is unlike any other Crypto currency and unique in that as it will be backed 1OO% by physical gold in the ABX system that is available for delivery any time investors should care to request it.

Perhaps if you knew AM you may realise he is a man of integrity who has been subjected to relentless bad mouthing campaigns by the trolls some of whom are employed by those who are keen to keep the status quo.

Re kInesis, you may be surprised just what effect this will have, I understand that negotiations are in the final stages involving a sovereign wealth fund who want to buy all that is available and more.
Should make gold jump a bit!

Hi market, glad you popped in.
Yes bit of a turnaround Josef coming back,, lets' hope its for the right reasons.
Although perhaps it is thought that his return may make his huge share disposals look less suspicious?
Rebess does have a good point though regarding watching for any large disposals in the future.

Look what he is up against though, at least he has the courage to speak out against the market corruption and manipulation.
To be fair to AM he does have proof of what goes on , even the support of regulators but they are either afraid or unable to act as they would like because their hands are tied by their master who fear the financial consequences if the merry go round is stopped abruptly!
I agree KWN could be better presented.

Typo below should read
Farage and UKIP used in their propaganda prior to the referendum has now been proven to be misleading,inaccurate, partly or completely untrue.

After correctly telling King World News on January 11, that pullbacks in gold and silver would be very shallow and short-lived, today London whistleblower and metals trader Andrew Maguire told KWN that we have never seen so much liquidity flow into physical gold and silver.

Hi GoldGnome,

There are all sorts of misconceptions about the membership of the EU and lot's of what Farage and UKIP used in their propaganda prior to the referendum has now been proven to be either misleading,naccurate, partly or completely untrue.
It is alleged that Farage who claims to be so anti EU has applied for German passport?

He is an MEP and it is stated that his expense & allowance claims are amongst some of the highest, yet he supposedly disapproves of the European Parliament
As you may or may not be aware expats were not allowed to vote in the EU referendum and yet if the UK leaves the EU these EX pats may be able to vote in future UK elections, so why were they denied a vote in the referendum on UK membership?

Can the UK opt out of EU law?
The UK is not the only country to which EU legislation selectively applies, but – with exceptions in four key areas – it is the member state with the most opt-outs. Perhaps, most notably, the UK is not a member of the euro. ... From the Lisbon Treaty, Britain also secured opt-outs from justice and home affairs legislation.12 May 2015
There are currently about 12,000 EU regulations in operation in the UK. The government plans to copy over the vast majority of them word-for-word into UK law on 29 March, the day if the UK leaves the European Union for good.19 Oct 2018

May's Backstop

The Democratic Unionist Party may be willing to support prime minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal. Sanity in the UK?

Rebess
I agree with you appraisal of the corrupt financial; system sadly they even control most of the financial media by one means or another.
The loud mouth Trump claims that the rest of the world is taking advantage of America whilst the American banks /Fed and CIA are are controlling the fortunes and livelihoods of the vast majority of he worlds population and those they can't control or exploit they destroy one way or another!
What's the point in fining the likes of Goldman Sachs & JPM, it's the ordinary people who end up footing the bill and the likes of Goldman can soon make cover any losses by driving the markets one way or another.
It's long jail sentences 's with no remission that's needed to sort the stinkers out, but even then some fall guy/trader lower down he ladder would end up taking the rap for the stinkers at the top!

Firstly I fully appreciate the age of the articles, I posted the links for information because that is how long this has been going on and these changes take time to implement.
As you may also realise the City has enjoyed the use of the ordinary people money on the cheap QE to bail it out of the 2008 mess and has used this money to carny on on Casino tax free trading as normal whilst the ordinary people have been forced to suffer austerity and increased VAT etc
Isn't it about time the City paid its debt back to the ordinary people so they saw some benefit for lending their money on the cheap?
