Trader in Spoofing Case May Be Tied to Deutsche Bank
By Tom Schoenberg
Bloomberg News
Friday, June 2, 2017
A trader who admitted Thursday to conspiring to manipulate futures contracts in precious metals committed those actions while working at Deutsche Bank AG, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The trader, David Liew, pleaded guilty in federal court in Chicago to a fraud conspiracy over the spoofing of futures contracts for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures, according to court papers. Along with spoofing -- which is placing orders without the intent of executing them in an attempt to manipulate the price -- he acknowledged front-running customers' orders.
The matter indicates more potential trouble for Deutsche Bank as it attempts to shake the financial and reputational drag of more than a half-dozen settlements in recent years with U.S. authorities over wrongdoing. The documents state that Liew worked on his own but also with at least three other traders at the bank hundreds of times in coordinated spoofing. Liew admitted that he learned spoofing practices from others at Deutsche Bank. Because Liew is cooperating with the investigation, prosecutors examining the metals market could take action against other traders at Deutsche Bank. ...
The case against Liew also provides the deepest insights yet into a federal criminal investigation of whether traders at some of the world's biggest banks conspired to manipulate prices in precious-metals markets. Liew's cooperation, and allegations that he conspired with a trader at another global bank, suggests that prosecutors continue to press forward with the probe. ...
Liew joined the bank in July 2009 after receiving his bachelor's degree as part of the bank's global analyst program, according to the court documents. Later that year he was installed at the bank's metals trading desk in the Asia-Pacific region.
Until February 2012 Liew worked with other traders at the bank to rig precious metals futures by transmitting orders to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange that they never intended to fill, according to the court papers.
Liew and the conspirators sought to create a false sense of supply or demand in order to cause other market participants to react and drive the price of precious metals futures contracts down or up or artificially increase the number of participants willing to transact at the existing price, according to the plea agreement. Liew and his conspirators could profit or mitigate losses by executing their positions before the spoof order, the agreement states.
On one occasion, Liew and his colleagues initiated transactions after getting information about a large metals trade to be executed for a customer of the bank "in an effort to benefit improperly from the anticipated movement in price that would result from the execution of the customer's trade," according to the court filing.

There's a New Way to Control Inflation
By Peter Coy
Bloomberg News
Saturday, June 3, 2017
The Federal Reserve would never get a medal in archery. Since January 2012, when it publicly adopted a target of 2 percent for annual inflation, it has undershot in 59 of 63 months. John Williams, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, believes there's a way to help the institution improve its aim.
The Fed would still try to keep prices rising at 2 percent a year, but if it fell short one year, it wouldn't just try harder to hit 2 percent the next year, as it does now. Instead, it would try to jack inflation above 2 percent temporarily to get back on track. The Fed would be like the driver of a car who makes up for getting stuck in traffic by speeding up—or slows down when she realizes she’s gotten ahead of her intended pace.
Williams laid out the justification for what he calls "flexible price-level targeting" in a speech in New York on May 5 to a group called the Shadow Open Market Committee, an independent group of economists that comments on Federal Reserve policy. In a phone interview on May 27 he explained why he thinks that now is the right time for an idea he concedes has been around for a while.
If price-level targeting caught on, businesspeople and consumers would be able to predict with confidence how high prices would be in 10, 20, or even 30 years. ...

The amount standing for the silver metal again rose in similar fashion to what we witnessed last month and also in April. We certainly have a determined entity trying to get its hands on whatever silver is available.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NY EAR MARKED GOLD REPORT

THIS MONTH: WE HAVE 7841 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF GOLD VALUED AT $42.22 PER OZ
AMOUNT OF GOLD MOVED FROM NY: 0
END
The jobs report (see below) was horrendous. As soon as it was published gold and silver got caught bids with gold ending higher in the session by $9.80 at 1276.20 and silver was ready to breach $17.50 closing up 25 cents at $17.49. In the access market gold resumed its northerly trajectory with gold finishing at $1279 and silver at $17.57. At the GLD another 3.55 tonnes was added.
Over at the comex, the amount standing for the silver metal again rose in similar fashion to what we witnessed last month and also in April. we certainly have a determined entity trying to get its hands on whatever silver is available.
Let us have a look at the data for today
.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In silver, the total open interest ROSE BY 1304 contract(s) UP to 205,750 DESPITE THE FALL IN PRICE OF SILVER THAT TOOK PLACE WITH YESTERDAY’S TRADING (DOWN 13 CENT(S). In ounces, the OI is still represented by just OVER 1 BILLION oz i.e. 1.0280 BILLION TO BE EXACT or 147% of annual global silver production (ex Russia & ex China).
FOR THE NEW FRONT MAY MONTH/ THEY FILED: 392 NOTICE(S) FOR 1,960,000 OZ OF SILVER
In gold, the total comex gold ROSE BY A STRONG 1,836 contracts DESPITE THE FALL IN THE PRICE OF GOLD ($5.00 with YESTERDAY’S TRADING). The total gold OI stands at 444,814 contracts.
we had 739 notice(s) filed upon for 73,900 oz of gold.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
With respect to our two criminal funds, the GLD and the SLV:
GLD:
We had a huge change in tonnes of gold at the GLD: a deposit of 3.55 tonnes into the GLD
Inventory rests tonight: 851.00 tonnes
.
SLV
Today: no changes in inventory
THE SLV Inventory rests at: 340.976 million oz
end
.
First, here is an outline of what will be discussed tonight:
1. Today, we had the open interest in silver ROSE BY 1,304 contracts UP TO 205,750 (AND now A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE NEW COMEX RECORD SET ON FRIDAY/APRIL 21/2017 AT 234,787), WITH THE FALL IN PRICE FOR SILVER WITH YESTERDAY’S TRADING (13 CENTS).
NO QUESTION THAT WE HAD FAILED SHORT COVERING BY THE BANKERS ALONG WITH SOME BANKER DELTA HEDGING WITH THE STRONGER PERFORMANCE FROM SILVER OF LATE.

3. ASIAN AFFAIRS
i)Late THURSDAY night/FRIDAY morning: Shanghai closed UP 2.91 POINTS OR 0.09% / /Hang Sang CLOSED UP 114.83 POINTS OR 0.44% The Nikkei closed UP 317.25 POINTS OR 1.60%/Australia’s all ordinaires CLOSED UP 0.84%/Chinese yuan (ONSHORE) closed DOWN at 6.8205/Oil DOWN to 47.07 dollars per barrel for WTI and 49.33 for Brent.

NOW THE OFFSHORE IS MUCH WEAKER TO THE ONSHORE YUAN/ ONSHORE YUAN WEAKER (TO THE DOLLAR) AND THE OFFSHORE YUAN IS HUGELY WEAKER TO THE DOLLAR AND THIS IS COUPLED WITH THE SLIGHTLY STRONGER DOLLAR.

ii)A terrific commentary from Jim Rickards as he describes how China has been able to maintain high growth rates but that is leading to a death spiral:
( Jim Rickards/DailyReckoning)
4. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
i)ITALY
The banking crisis in Italy is just not going away. Italy has almost 360 billion euros of non performing loans on banking balance sheets or 18% of total loans. The government is seeking a bailout and not a bail in as huge numbers of moms and pops bought debt/equities because they thought the investments were sound. A bail in would crush huge numbers of Italian citizens. This is why the government is pushing for a bail out but the EU states that a bail in is mandatory. No wonder we are witnessing a huge run on Italian banks

ii)SPAIN
OHOh!! Spain’s sixth largest bank, Banco Popular in trouble and needs a huge cash infusion of which nobody is willing. Investors are dumping bonds and stock like crazy because they do not want to be long over the weekend

5. RUSSIAN AND MIDDLE EASTERN AFFAIRS
6 .GLOBAL ISSUES
For the first time, the balance sheet of the Bank of Japan and the ECB exceed that of the Fed. We know know that the Fed wants to roll off its balance sheet and not repurchase debt with dollars earned. In essence this is tightening and with both the Bank of Japan lessening its purchases along with the ECB, what is going to fuel the global stock markets?

7. OIL ISSUES
WTI holds its value just below $48.00 per barrel and yet USA oil rig counts rise for the 20th consecutive week which should increase production exponentially

THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE NOT IN THE LABOUR FORCE SOAR BY A HUGE 608,000 WHICH EXPLAINS WHY THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE LOWERED FROM 4.4 DOWN TO 4.3%
(courtesy zero hedge)
d)Here is another metric that Janet will not like: full time jobs tumble by 367,000 the biggest in 3 years: this was offset by a gain of 133,000 part time jobs.
Construction jobs lowered by 1,000 but our good old bartenders and waiters added another 30,000 jobs despite massive closings of restaurants.

e)Two thirds of all the gains this month was in the minimum wage jobs such as bartenders and waiters

(Goldman Sachs/Hatzius/zerohedge)
h)And now the final word on today’s phony jobs report, as is my custom, here is Dave Kranzler who discusses the totally fictitious B/D plug which “added”
238,000 jobs. It is easy to explain the Birth Death model. If one loses his job, it is “death”. However the BLS believes that these guys become entrepreneurs and start new businesses and hire more people that are unemployed. This is the “birth”. It is total made up.

Let us head over to the comex:
The total gold comex open interest ROSE BY A STRONG 1,836 CONTRACTS UP to an OI level of 444,814 WITH THE RISE IN THE PRICE OF GOLD (($5.00 with YESTERDAY’S trading).
We are now in the contract month of JUNE and it is one of the BETTER delivery months of the year. In this JUNE delivery month we had A HUGE LOSS OF 784 contract(s) FALLING TO 3744. We had 308 notices filed upon yesterday so we LOST 476 contracts or an additional 47,600 oz will NOT stand for delivery in this very active delivery month of June AND WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT THESE 476 CONTRACTS RECEIVED AN EFP CONTRACT WHICH ENTITLES THEM TO A FIAT BONUS PLUS A FUTURE GOLD CONTRACT/OR A LONG CALL OR MOST LIKELY A LONDON BASED FORWARD GOLD CONTRACT. THESE EFP’S ARE PRIVATE OFF COMEX TRANSACTIONS. THE REMAINING LONGS ARE REMAINING STOIC AND ARE REFUSING THAT FIAT BONUS
Below is a little background on the EFP contracts initiated by our bankers:
We now know for certainty that private EFP contracts are given by the bankers when faced with an upcoming active delivery month and they state that this is for emergency purposes only and that they do not have actual physical metal to deliver upon in the front month. We just do not know the makeup of that private deal. It is my contention that the longs in GOLD FOR INSTANCE at the end of MAY(for June contracts) were given a fiat bonus plus a long “in the money” call for a future July contract or a August FUTURE contract or MAYBE EVEN A LONDON BASED FORWARD GOLD CONTRACT. . and this is why the total comex open interest complex obliterates as we enter first day notice. So now everything makes sense: the obliteration of OI as we enter first day notice has not really occurred in the real sense but replaced with a future long contract call and/or an off -comex London based gold contract with some bonus money for their effort.
The non active July contract GAINED 19 contracts to stand at 2166 contracts. The next big active month is August and here the OI gained 2,021 contracts up to 322,225.
We had 739 notice(s) filed upon today for 73900 oz
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
And now for the wild silver comex results. Total silver OI ROSE BY 1,304 contracts FROM 204,446 UP TO 205,750 WITH YESTERDAY’S 13 CENT LOSS. IT SURE LOOKS LIKE OUR BANKERS ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO COVER THEIR SHORTS IN SILVER BUT TO NO AVAIL. WE ALSO NO DOUBT HAVE CONSIDERABLE EVIDENCE OF SOME DELTA HEDGING BY THE BANKERS TRYING TO OFFSET THAT HUGE SHORT POSITION THEY HAVE BEEN BURGEONING OVER THE YEARS.
We are in the NON active delivery month is JUNE Here the open interest GAINED 19 contract(s) RISING TO 399 contracts. We had 18 notices served upon yesterday so we AGAIN GAINED 37 CONTRACTS OR AN ADDITIONAL 185,000 OZ OF SILVER WILL STAND FOR DELIVERY IN THIS NON ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH OF JUNE. IT SEEMS WE ARE CONTINUING WHERE WE LEFT OFF LAST MONTH IN SILVER AS INVESTORS ARE WILLING TO FORGO THE FIAT PROFIT JUST TO SECURE PHYSICAL SILVER METAL.
The next big active month will be July and here the OI LOST 561 contracts DOWN to 136,090. the month of August, a non active month picked up its first contract to stand at one. The next big active delivery month for silver will be September and here the OI already jumped by another 514 contracts up to 32,392.
The line in the sand is $18.50 for silver and again it has been defended by the criminal bankers. Once this level is pierced, the monstrous billion oz of silver shorts will blow up. The bankers are defending the Alamo with their last stand at the $18.50 mark. THE NEW RECORD HIGH IN OPEN INTEREST WAS SET FRIDAY APRIL 21/2017 AT: 234,787.
We had 392 notice(s) filed for 1,960,000 oz for the June 2017 contract
VOLUMES: for the gold comex
Today the estimated volume was 165,426 contracts which is FAIR
Yesterday’s confirmed volume was 216,891 contracts which is GOOD
volumes on gold are STILL HIGHER THAN NORMAL!

The total of all issuance by all participants equates to 739 contract(s) of which 0 notices were stopped (received) by jPMorgan dealer and 303 notice(s) was (were) stopped/ Received) by jPMorgan customer account.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To calculate the initial total number of gold ounces standing for the JUNE. contract month, we take the total number of notices filed so far for the month (1855) x 100 oz or 185,500 oz, to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of MAY (3744 contracts) minus the number of notices served upon today (739) x 100 oz per contract equals 486,000 oz, the number of ounces standing in this active month of JUNE.
Thus the INITIAL standings for gold for the JUNE contract month:
No of notices served so far (1855) x 100 oz or ounces + {(3744)OI for the front month minus the number of notices served upon today (739) x 100 oz which equals 486,000 oz standing in this active delivery month of JUNE (15.116 tonnes).
WE LOST 476 CONTRACTS OR AN ADDITIONAL 47,600 OZ WILL NOT STAND AT THE COMEX. HOWEVER THESE GUYS WERE GIVEN EFP CONTRACTS WHICH ENTITLES THEM TO A FIAT BONUS PLUS A FUTURES GOLD CONTRACT OR A LONG CALL ON A GOLD CONTRACT OR MOST LIKELY A LONDON BASED GOLD FORWARD CONTRACT.

Total dealer inventory 945,273.113 or 29.40 tonnes DEALER RAPIDLY LOSING GOLD
Total gold inventory (dealer and customer) = 8,798,342.109 or 273.66 tonnes
Over a year ago the comex had 303 tonnes of total gold. Today the total inventory rests at 273.66 tonnes for a loss of 28 tonnes over that period. Since August 8/2016 we have lost 79 tonnes leaving the comex. However I am including kilobar transactions and they are very suspect at best
I have a sneaky feeling that these withdrawals of gold in kilobars are being used in the hypothecating process and are being used in the raiding of gold!
The gold comex is an absolute fraud. The use of kilobars and exact weights makes the data totally absurd and fraudulent! To me, the only thing that makes sense is the fact that “kilobars: are entries of hypothecated gold sent to other jurisdictions so that they will not be short with their underwritten derivatives in that jurisdiction. This would be similar to the rehypothecated gold used by Jon Corzine at MF Global.
IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS 79 NET TONNES HAS LEFT THE COMEX.

The total number of notices filed today for the JUNE. contract month is represented by 392 contract(s) for 1,960,000 oz. To calculate the number of silver ounces that will stand for delivery in JUNE., we take the total number of notices filed for the month so far at 447 x 5,000 oz = 2,235,000 oz to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of JUNE (399) and the number of notices served upon today (392) x 5000 oz equals the number of ounces standing
.
Thus the initial standings for silver for the JUNE contract month: 447(notices served so far)x 5000 oz + OI for front month of JUNE.(399 ) -number of notices served upon today (392)x 5000 oz equals 2,270,000 oz of silver standing for the JUNE contract month. WE ALSO HAD 0 EFP CONTRACTS THAT WERE ISSUED AS THE LONGS REFUSED A FIAT BONUS: THEY WANTED THEIR SILVER. WE GAINED ANOTHER 185,000 ADDITIONAL OUNCES OF SILVER STANDING FOR DELIVERY.
Volumes: for silver comex
Today the estimated volume was 86,150 which is huge
Yesterday’s confirmed volume was 79,201 contracts which is HUGE
FRIDAY’S ESTIMATED VOLUME OF 79,201 CONTRACTS EQUATES TO 396 MILLION OZ OF SILVER OR 57% OF ANNUAL GLOBAL PRODUCTION OF SILVER EX CHINA EX RUSSIA). IN OUR HEARINGS THE COMMISSIONERS STRESSED THAT THE OPEN INTEREST SHOULD BE AROUND 3% OF THE MARKET.
Total dealer silver: 34.305 million (close to record low inventory
Total number of dealer and customer silver: 202.230 million oz
The record level of silver open interest is 234,787 contracts set on April 21./2017 with the price at that day at $18.42
The previous record was 224,540 contracts with the price at that time of $20.44

OUR LARGE SPECULATORS:
those large speculators (and right up to May 30) who are long in gold saw an increase of 8790 contracts
those large speculators who are short in gold added 1467 contracts to their short side
OUR COMMERCIALS:
those commercials who are long in gold pitched 8363 contracts from their long side
those commercials who are short in gold added a tiny 565 contracts to their short side
OUR SMALL SPECS
those small specs that have been long in gold pitched a tiny 874 contracts from their long side
those small specs that have been short in gold covered 2479 contracts from their short side
CONCLUSIONS:
commercials go net short by 8928 contracts. As you can see there is nothing here that would indicate why the specs longs would dump over 31,000 contracts the next day. No question about it; EFP’s totally distort the COT report and you will see it first hand next Friday.

Sprott makes hostile $3.1 billion bid for Central Fund of Canada

Wednesday, March 8, 2017
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/sprott-takeover-bid-central-fund-c…
Toronto-based Sprott Inc. said Wednesday it’s making an all-share hostile takeover bid worth $3.1 billion US for rival bullion holder Central Fund of Canada Ltd.
The money-management firm has filed an application with the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta seeking to allow shareholders of Calgary-based Central Fund to swap their shares for ones in a newly-formed trust that would be substantially similar to Sprott’s existing precious metal holding entities.
The company is going through the courts after its efforts to strike a friendly deal were rebuffed by the Spicer family that controls Central Fund, said Sprott spokesman Glen Williams.
“They weren’t interested in having those discussions,” Williams said.
Sprott is using the courts to try to give holders of the 252 million non-voting class A shares a say in takeover bids, which Central Fund explicitly states they have no right to participate in. That voting right is reserved for the 40,000 common shares outstanding, which the family of J.C. Stefan Spicer, chairman and CEO of Central Fund, control.
If successful through the courts, Sprott would then need the support of two-thirds of shareholder votes to close the takeover deal, but there’s no guarantee they will make it that far.
“It is unusual to go this route,” said Williams. “There’s no specific precedent where this has worked.”
Sprott did have success last year in taking over Central GoldTrust, a similar fund that was controlled by the Spicer family, after securing support from more than 96 percent of shareholder votes cast.
The firm says Central Fund’s shares are trading at a discount to net asset value and a takeover by Sprott could unlock US$304 million in shareholder value.
Central Fund did not have any immediate comment on the unsolicited offer. Williams said Sprott had not yet heard from Central Fund on the proposal but that some shareholders had already contacted them to voice their support.
Sprott’s existing precious metal holding companies are designed to allow investors to own gold and other metals without having to worry about taking care of the physical bullion.

Monetary metals market rigger learned how to do it at Deutsche Bank

Trader in Spoofing Case May Be Tied to Deutsche Bank
By Tom Schoenberg
Bloomberg News
Friday, June 2, 2017
A trader who admitted Thursday to conspiring to manipulate futures contracts in precious metals committed those actions while working at Deutsche Bank AG, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The trader, David Liew, pleaded guilty in federal court in Chicago to a fraud conspiracy over the spoofing of futures contracts for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures, according to court papers. Along with spoofing -- which is placing orders without the intent of executing them in an attempt to manipulate the price -- he acknowledged front-running customers' orders.
The matter indicates more potential trouble for Deutsche Bank as it attempts to shake the financial and reputational drag of more than a half-dozen settlements in recent years with U.S. authorities over wrongdoing. The documents state that Liew worked on his own but also with at least three other traders at the bank hundreds of times in coordinated spoofing. Liew admitted that he learned spoofing practices from others at Deutsche Bank. Because Liew is cooperating with the investigation, prosecutors examining the metals market could take action against other traders at Deutsche Bank. ...
The case against Liew also provides the deepest insights yet into a federal criminal investigation of whether traders at some of the world's biggest banks conspired to manipulate prices in precious-metals markets. Liew's cooperation, and allegations that he conspired with a trader at another global bank, suggests that prosecutors continue to press forward with the probe. ...
Liew joined the bank in July 2009 after receiving his bachelor's degree as part of the bank's global analyst program, according to the court documents. Later that year he was installed at the bank's metals trading desk in the Asia-Pacific region.
Until February 2012 Liew worked with other traders at the bank to rig precious metals futures by transmitting orders to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange that they never intended to fill, according to the court papers.
Liew and the conspirators sought to create a false sense of supply or demand in order to cause other market participants to react and drive the price of precious metals futures contracts down or up or artificially increase the number of participants willing to transact at the existing price, according to the plea agreement. Liew and his conspirators could profit or mitigate losses by executing their positions before the spoof order, the agreement states.
On one occasion, Liew and his colleagues initiated transactions after getting information about a large metals trade to be executed for a customer of the bank "in an effort to benefit improperly from the anticipated movement in price that would result from the execution of the customer's trade," according to the court filing.

There's a New Way to Control Inflation
By Peter Coy
Bloomberg News
Saturday, June 3, 2017
The Federal Reserve would never get a medal in archery. Since January 2012, when it publicly adopted a target of 2 percent for annual inflation, it has undershot in 59 of 63 months. John Williams, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, believes there's a way to help the institution improve its aim.
The Fed would still try to keep prices rising at 2 percent a year, but if it fell short one year, it wouldn't just try harder to hit 2 percent the next year, as it does now. Instead, it would try to jack inflation above 2 percent temporarily to get back on track. The Fed would be like the driver of a car who makes up for getting stuck in traffic by speeding up—or slows down when she realizes she’s gotten ahead of her intended pace.
Williams laid out the justification for what he calls "flexible price-level targeting" in a speech in New York on May 5 to a group called the Shadow Open Market Committee, an independent group of economists that comments on Federal Reserve policy. In a phone interview on May 27 he explained why he thinks that now is the right time for an idea he concedes has been around for a while.
If price-level targeting caught on, businesspeople and consumers would be able to predict with confidence how high prices would be in 10, 20, or even 30 years. ...

First, here is an outline of what will be discussed tonight:
1. Today, we had the open interest in silver ROSE BY 1,304 contracts UP TO 205,750 (AND now A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE NEW COMEX RECORD SET ON FRIDAY/APRIL 21/2017 AT 234,787), WITH THE FALL IN PRICE FOR SILVER WITH YESTERDAY’S TRADING (13 CENTS).
NO QUESTION THAT WE HAD FAILED SHORT COVERING BY THE BANKERS ALONG WITH SOME BANKER DELTA HEDGING WITH THE STRONGER PERFORMANCE FROM SILVER OF LATE.

4. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
i)ITALY
The banking crisis in Italy is just not going away. Italy has almost 360 billion euros of non performing loans on banking balance sheets or 18% of total loans. The government is seeking a bailout and not a bail in as huge numbers of moms and pops bought debt/equities because they thought the investments were sound. A bail in would crush huge numbers of Italian citizens. This is why the government is pushing for a bail out but the EU states that a bail in is mandatory. No wonder we are witnessing a huge run on Italian banks

5. RUSSIAN AND MIDDLE EASTERN AFFAIRS
6 .GLOBAL ISSUES
For the first time, the balance sheet of the Bank of Japan and the ECB exceed that of the Fed. We know know that the Fed wants to roll off its balance sheet and not repurchase debt with dollars earned. In essence this is tightening and with both the Bank of Japan lessening its purchases along with the ECB, what is going to fuel the global stock markets?

238,000 jobs. It is easy to explain the Birth Death model. If one loses his job, it is “death”. However the BLS believes that these guys become entrepreneurs and start new businesses and hire more people that are unemployed. This is the “birth”. It is total made up.

Let us head over to the comex:
The total gold comex open interest ROSE BY A STRONG 1,836 CONTRACTS UP to an OI level of 444,814 WITH THE RISE IN THE PRICE OF GOLD (($5.00 with YESTERDAY’S trading).
We are now in the contract month of JUNE and it is one of the BETTER delivery months of the year. In this JUNE delivery month we had A HUGE LOSS OF 784 contract(s) FALLING TO 3744. We had 308 notices filed upon yesterday so we LOST 476 contracts or an additional 47,600 oz will NOT stand for delivery in this very active delivery month of June AND WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT THESE 476 CONTRACTS RECEIVED AN EFP CONTRACT WHICH ENTITLES THEM TO A FIAT BONUS PLUS A FUTURE GOLD CONTRACT/OR A LONG CALL OR MOST LIKELY A LONDON BASED FORWARD GOLD CONTRACT. THESE EFP’S ARE PRIVATE OFF COMEX TRANSACTIONS. THE REMAINING LONGS ARE REMAINING STOIC AND ARE REFUSING THAT FIAT BONUS
Below is a little background on the EFP contracts initiated by our bankers:
We now know for certainty that private EFP contracts are given by the bankers when faced with an upcoming active delivery month and they state that this is for emergency purposes only and that they do not have actual physical metal to deliver upon in the front month. We just do not know the makeup of that private deal. It is my contention that the longs in GOLD FOR INSTANCE at the end of MAY(for June contracts) were given a fiat bonus plus a long “in the money” call for a future July contract or a August FUTURE contract or MAYBE EVEN A LONDON BASED FORWARD GOLD CONTRACT. . and this is why the total comex open interest complex obliterates as we enter first day notice. So now everything makes sense: the obliteration of OI as we enter first day notice has not really occurred in the real sense but replaced with a future long contract call and/or an off -comex London based gold contract with some bonus money for their effort.
The non active July contract GAINED 19 contracts to stand at 2166 contracts. The next big active month is August and here the OI gained 2,021 contracts up to 322,225.
We had 739 notice(s) filed upon today for 73900 oz
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
And now for the wild silver comex results. Total silver OI ROSE BY 1,304 contracts FROM 204,446 UP TO 205,750 WITH YESTERDAY’S 13 CENT LOSS. IT SURE LOOKS LIKE OUR BANKERS ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO COVER THEIR SHORTS IN SILVER BUT TO NO AVAIL. WE ALSO NO DOUBT HAVE CONSIDERABLE EVIDENCE OF SOME DELTA HEDGING BY THE BANKERS TRYING TO OFFSET THAT HUGE SHORT POSITION THEY HAVE BEEN BURGEONING OVER THE YEARS.
We are in the NON active delivery month is JUNE Here the open interest GAINED 19 contract(s) RISING TO 399 contracts. We had 18 notices served upon yesterday so we AGAIN GAINED 37 CONTRACTS OR AN ADDITIONAL 185,000 OZ OF SILVER WILL STAND FOR DELIVERY IN THIS NON ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH OF JUNE. IT SEEMS WE ARE CONTINUING WHERE WE LEFT OFF LAST MONTH IN SILVER AS INVESTORS ARE WILLING TO FORGO THE FIAT PROFIT JUST TO SECURE PHYSICAL SILVER METAL.
The next big active month will be July and here the OI LOST 561 contracts DOWN to 136,090. the month of August, a non active month picked up its first contract to stand at one. The next big active delivery month for silver will be September and here the OI already jumped by another 514 contracts up to 32,392.
The line in the sand is $18.50 for silver and again it has been defended by the criminal bankers. Once this level is pierced, the monstrous billion oz of silver shorts will blow up. The bankers are defending the Alamo with their last stand at the $18.50 mark. THE NEW RECORD HIGH IN OPEN INTEREST WAS SET FRIDAY APRIL 21/2017 AT: 234,787.
We had 392 notice(s) filed for 1,960,000 oz for the June 2017 contract
VOLUMES: for the gold comex
Today the estimated volume was 165,426 contracts which is FAIR
Yesterday’s confirmed volume was 216,891 contracts which is GOOD
volumes on gold are STILL HIGHER THAN NORMAL!

For JUNE:
Today, 0 notice(s) were issued from JPMorgan dealer account and 0 notices were issued from their client or customer account. The total of all issuance by all participants equates to 739 contract(s) of which 0 notices were stopped (received) by jPMorgan dealer and 303 notice(s) was (were) stopped/ Received) by jPMorgan customer account.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To calculate the initial total number of gold ounces standing for the JUNE. contract month, we take the total number of notices filed so far for the month (1855) x 100 oz or 185,500 oz, to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of MAY (3744 contracts) minus the number of notices served upon today (739) x 100 oz per contract equals 486,000 oz, the number of ounces standing in this active month of JUNE.
Thus the INITIAL standings for gold for the JUNE contract month:
No of notices served so far (1855) x 100 oz or ounces + {(3744)OI for the front month minus the number of notices served upon today (739) x 100 oz which equals 486,000 oz standing in this active delivery month of JUNE (15.116 tonnes).
WE LOST 476 CONTRACTS OR AN ADDITIONAL 47,600 OZ WILL NOT STAND AT THE COMEX. HOWEVER THESE GUYS WERE GIVEN EFP CONTRACTS WHICH ENTITLES THEM TO A FIAT BONUS PLUS A FUTURES GOLD CONTRACT OR A LONG CALL ON A GOLD CONTRACT OR MOST LIKELY A LONDON BASED GOLD FORWARD CONTRACT.

Total dealer inventory 945,273.113 or 29.40 tonnes DEALER RAPIDLY LOSING GOLD
Total gold inventory (dealer and customer) = 8,798,342.109 or 273.66 tonnes
Over a year ago the comex had 303 tonnes of total gold. Today the total inventory rests at 273.66 tonnes for a loss of 28 tonnes over that period. Since August 8/2016 we have lost 79 tonnes leaving the comex. However I am including kilobar transactions and they are very suspect at best
I have a sneaky feeling that these withdrawals of gold in kilobars are being used in the hypothecating process and are being used in the raiding of gold!
The gold comex is an absolute fraud. The use of kilobars and exact weights makes the data totally absurd and fraudulent! To me, the only thing that makes sense is the fact that “kilobars: are entries of hypothecated gold sent to other jurisdictions so that they will not be short with their underwritten derivatives in that jurisdiction. This would be similar to the rehypothecated gold used by Jon Corzine at MF Global.
IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS 79 NET TONNES HAS LEFT THE COMEX.

we had 1 adjustment(s)
i) Out of CNT: 168, 873.915 oz was adjusted out of the customer and this landed into the dealer account of CNT
The total number of notices filed today for the JUNE. contract month is represented by 392 contract(s) for 1,960,000 oz. To calculate the number of silver ounces that will stand for delivery in JUNE., we take the total number of notices filed for the month so far at 447 x 5,000 oz = 2,235,000 oz to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of JUNE (399) and the number of notices served upon today (392) x 5000 oz equals the number of ounces standing
.
Thus the initial standings for silver for the JUNE contract month: 447(notices served so far)x 5000 oz + OI for front month of JUNE.(399 ) -number of notices served upon today (392)x 5000 oz equals 2,270,000 oz of silver standing for the JUNE contract month. WE ALSO HAD 0 EFP CONTRACTS THAT WERE ISSUED AS THE LONGS REFUSED A FIAT BONUS: THEY WANTED THEIR SILVER. WE GAINED ANOTHER 185,000 ADDITIONAL OUNCES OF SILVER STANDING FOR DELIVERY.
Volumes: for silver comex
Today the estimated volume was 86,150 which is huge
Yesterday’s confirmed volume was 79,201 contracts which is HUGE
FRIDAY’S ESTIMATED VOLUME OF 79,201 CONTRACTS EQUATES TO 396 MILLION OZ OF SILVER OR 57% OF ANNUAL GLOBAL PRODUCTION OF SILVER EX CHINA EX RUSSIA). IN OUR HEARINGS THE COMMISSIONERS STRESSED THAT THE OPEN INTEREST SHOULD BE AROUND 3% OF THE MARKET.
Total dealer silver: 34.305 million (close to record low inventory
Total number of dealer and customer silver: 202.230 million oz
The record level of silver open interest is 234,787 contracts set on April 21./2017 with the price at that day at $18.42
The previous record was 224,540 contracts with the price at that time of $20.44

COT Gold Report – Positions as of Tuesday, May 30, 2017
OUR LARGE SPECULATORS:
those large speculators (and right up to May 30) who are long in gold saw an increase of 8790 contracts
those large speculators who are short in gold added 1467 contracts to their short side
OUR COMMERCIALS:
those commercials who are long in gold pitched 8363 contracts from their long side
those commercials who are short in gold added a tiny 565 contracts to their short side
OUR SMALL SPECS
those small specs that have been long in gold pitched a tiny 874 contracts from their long side
those small specs that have been short in gold covered 2479 contracts from their short side
CONCLUSIONS:
commercials go net short by 8928 contracts. As you can see there is nothing here that would indicate why the specs longs would dump over 31,000 contracts the next day. No question about it; EFP’s totally distort the COT report and you will see it first hand next Friday.

Sprott’s hostile 3.1 billion bid to take over Central Fund of Canada

Sprott makes hostile $3.1 billion bid for Central Fund of Canada
Submitted by cpowell on Thu, 2017-03-09 01:19. Section: Daily Dispatches
From the Canadian Press
via Canadian Broadcasting Corp. News, Toronto
Wednesday, March 8, 2017
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/sprott-takeover-bid-central-fund-c…
Toronto-based Sprott Inc. said Wednesday it’s making an all-share hostile takeover bid worth $3.1 billion US for rival bullion holder Central Fund of Canada Ltd.
The money-management firm has filed an application with the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta seeking to allow shareholders of Calgary-based Central Fund to swap their shares for ones in a newly-formed trust that would be substantially similar to Sprott’s existing precious metal holding entities.
The company is going through the courts after its efforts to strike a friendly deal were rebuffed by the Spicer family that controls Central Fund, said Sprott spokesman Glen Williams.
“They weren’t interested in having those discussions,” Williams said.
Sprott is using the courts to try to give holders of the 252 million non-voting class A shares a say in takeover bids, which Central Fund explicitly states they have no right to participate in. That voting right is reserved for the 40,000 common shares outstanding, which the family of J.C. Stefan Spicer, chairman and CEO of Central Fund, control.
If successful through the courts, Sprott would then need the support of two-thirds of shareholder votes to close the takeover deal, but there’s no guarantee they will make it that far.
“It is unusual to go this route,” said Williams. “There’s no specific precedent where this has worked.”
Sprott did have success last year in taking over Central GoldTrust, a similar fund that was controlled by the Spicer family, after securing support from more than 96 percent of shareholder votes cast.
The firm says Central Fund’s shares are trading at a discount to net asset value and a takeover by Sprott could unlock US$304 million in shareholder value.
Central Fund did not have any immediate comment on the unsolicited offer. Williams said Sprott had not yet heard from Central Fund on the proposal but that some shareholders had already contacted them to voice their support.
Sprott’s existing precious metal holding companies are designed to allow investors to own gold and other metals without having to worry about taking care of the physical bullion.
