Gold Futures Close Below $1,200

New York (Sept 15) Gold pricing took a moderate hit today with the most active December Comex contract losing $9.40 to be currently fixed at $1,198.80 per ounce. After trading to its highest level this month when gold traded to $1,218 yesterday, a surge in dollar strength today put dramatic pressure on gold pricing. Once again, gold futures closed lower on the week, posting a fractional decline of about one dollar.

As of 4:35 PM Eastern standard time, spot gold is trading at $1,193.80, after subtracting a net decline of $7.10 on the day. Most of the lower pricing today is directly attributable to dollar strength, which took away $5.20 in value. The remaining loss of $1.90 today was a result of selling pressure.

Dollar strength was a direct result of favorable economic data. A Federal Reserve report released today revealed that industrial production rose 0.4% in August. This was above expectations by about 0.10% and marks the third consecutive monthly increase.

The U.S. dollar is currently trading at 94.96, which is a net gain of 44 points on the day (+0.47%). Favorable economic data was highly supportive of the dollar today. As reported in MarketWatch, “The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index for September climbed to 100.8, compared with expectations of 97, marking its second-highest reading since 2014.”

Join GATA in New Orleans in November and you can't lose

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA Chairman Bill Murphy and your secretary/treasurer will be speaking again this year at the New Orleans Investment Conference, and if you register to attend the conference through GATA, the conference will generously pay us a commission that will help keep the organization going.

Apart from helping GATA, the conference is offering attendees an extraordinary money-back guarantee -- that if the investments you make as a result of your attendance don't at least quadruple in value within six months, your registration fee will be refunded.


The conference isn't exactly inexpensive but then it remains the most serious and comprehensive investment conference in the United States -- four days, Thursday through Sunday, November 1-4 -- smack in the middle of a fascinating and beautiful city renowned for its restaurants and history. Indeed, you'd do well to give yourself an extra few days in New Orleans just to explore and enjoy the place quite apart from the conference.

The conference always covers the monetary metals thoroughly and long has made room for politically incorrect opinions about them and public issues generally, so no one is ever bored there.

A letter from conference organizer Brien Lundin explaining the conference and describing some of this year's speakers is below. Please check it out and, if you decide to attend the conference, use the internet registration link provided --

https://neworleansconference.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/NOIC_2018_Po...

-- since it will identify you as someone recruited by GATA.

That link also operates with the advertisement for the conference that appears at the top of the home page of GATA's internet site.

We hope to see you in New Orleans in November.

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer
Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.

In Today's Uncertain World, There's Only One Sure Investment


By Brien Lundin
New Orleans Investment Conference
Friday, July 27, 2018

Growing geopolitical worries have joined with massive debts and currency creation to virtually guarantee much higher gold prices.

No wonder investors are flocking to the world's oldest, most exclusive, and most profitable investment event.

For well over four decades -- through some of the most turbulent and dangerous times in investing -- the record shows there is no better place to find profits and safety than the legendary New Orleans Investment Conference.

But this year's blockbuster event will be one of the most exciting in the long history of the New Orleans conference.

That's because we've reached a dramatic turning point in the global economy and the markets.

The Fed continues to raise rates -- even as the federal debt is exploding higher.

The rest of the world's central banks are about to begin their own monetary tightening -- likely driving the dollar lower in reaction.

Stocks are bouncing around like crazy but are still priced for perfection near record levels.

Inflation is surging higher while commodity production and prices are still low.

And gold has confirmed a new bull market but is still hovering below key technical break-out levels.

It all adds up to a new level of risk and opportunity -- one that investors need to be prepared for.

This is what the New Orleans Investment Conference was built for. This year's conference will be held Thursday through Sunday, November 1-4.

In our 44-year history, the New Orleans Investment Conference has never failed to deliver rich returns (and wealth-protecting strategies) during times of market uncertainty.

It's why we can guarantee investors will quadruple their investment in the event.

To capitalize on this year's opportunity, we're gathering dozens of the world's top experts in geopolitics, economics and the resource markets, including:

-- One of today's hardest-hitting and most entertaining political analysts, Mark Steyn…

-- The inspirational author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," the No. 1 selling personal finance book of all time, Robert Kiyosaki -- plus his top tax expert, Tom Wheelwright…

-- Wall Street's most insightful and eloquent market commentator, James Grant.

-- The forceful -- and funny -- political commentator Jonah Goldberg.

-- The king of controversy and contrarianism, Doug Casey.

-- Popular and prescient investment authority Peter Schiff.

-- The ultimate guides to "Plan B" wealth and lifestyle preservation, Chris Martenson and Adam Taggart of PeakProsperity.com.

-- Hedge fund guru and legendary trader Dennis Gartman.

-- Master resource investor Rick Rule.

-- Peter Boockvar, perhaps the most influential economist in the world.

-- Wildly successful newsletter editor Nick Hodge.

-- Masters of property and tangible asset investing, The Real Estate Guys.

-- Plus the world's leading authorities on gold, silver, mining stocks, and every investment sector, including Guy Adami, Adrian Day, Brent Cook, Mary Anne and Pamela Aden, Mark Skousen, Robert Prechter, Eric Coffin, Steve Hochberg, Lindsay Hall, Omar Ayales, Thom Calandra, Gary Alexander, Chris Powell, Bill Murphy, and more.

It's all happening at this year's New Orleans Investment Conference.

For well over four decades the conference has helped investors learn how to protect and build wealth during uncertain markets.

And during that time we've repeatedly seen stocks recommended at the conference double, triple, and even grow 10, 20, and more times in value.

Remarkably, results like these are not at all unusual.

That's because the New Orleans conference is the most important investment gathering of the year and brings together the brightest, most successful analysts and investors.

How special is this event?

-- It has attracted dozens of the most celebrated figures in modern history, including Lady Margaret Thatcher, Ayn Rand, Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman, F.A. Hayek, Barry Goldwater, Steve Forbes, Henry Kissinger, Ron Paul, and more.

-- It boasts a reputation of inviting only the most successful and deadly-accurate analysts, many of whom save their best recommendations to unveil on our stage.

-- It has brought together the most sophisticated and successful individual investors, mavericks who don't follow the herd but rather search for valuable, unhedged, and unbiased information.

This is why previous attendees will attest that the New Orleans conference has never failed to deliver stock picks that have doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled in value during the weeks and months following the conference. But many of our picks do much better.

FACT: A number of stocks recommended at recent Conferences have gone on to multiply over 20 times in value, enough to turn a modest $5,000 investment into a whopping $100,000, or $25,000 into half a million dollars.

And whenever the metals and mining shares are in a bull market -- as they are now -- the New Orleans conference really shines.

Over our history we're known for showing investors how to shield their wealth during turbulent times and how to build fortunes from the powerful strategies and specific picks our speakers provide in a gold bull market.

In fact. ...

We'll guarantee that you'll quadruple your investment.

This opportunity is so important, and we're so confident that the New Orleans conference will pay for itself many times over, that we'll offer you this ironclad guarantee:

If you attend New Orleans 2018 and don't make back at least four times the money you paid to register -- in six months or less -- just let us know. We'll happily give you a prompt, hassle-free refund on your entire registration fee. Every penny.

You can't lose -- unless you don't act immediately to secure your place at New Orleans 2018.

But here's the problem: Our registration fee is about to soar, and at some point we'll likely completely sell out.

So if you hope to get in at the current early-bird rate, and enjoy our quadruple-your-money-or-it's free guarantee.

You'll need to call us at 1-800-648-8411 right now or click on this link to learn more and register:

neworleansconference.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/NOIC_2018_Pow...

Given the dramatic turning point we're facing in the markets, New Orleans 2018 could turn out to be the most profitable investment event in decades -- perhaps in the entire 44-year history of the Conference.

The strategies and picks our celebrated speakers deliver could yield a fortune for you.

Or nothing if you don't attend.

And here's one other word of warning: We frequently sell out of every available hotel room for this event.

If you don't act now, we can't guarantee you'll be able to attend and reap the rewards New Orleans 2018 will give you.

All you have to do is register now, while space is still available. And doing so couldn't be easier. Just click on this link --
