I am staggered that a tiny increase in USA unemployment just as University students graduate in USA and some decide to sign on and then join a protest group then get a paying job is a good reason to pump up the gold price. The jewellery and physical markets have collapsed across the globe. Only a handful of central banks are driving the gold price. The total amount China central bank purchased in April was just 60,000 ounces. I wonder if this is a paper rally as Comex ounces stored have been increasing not being withdrawn. On some days the withdrawn amount was zero ounces.
