Featured News

Another mainstream journalist purports to explain the gold price without reference to central banks

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2021-03-25 14:10 Section: Daily Dispatches

Brett Arends
MarketWatch.com
1211 6th Ave
New York, N.Y. 10036

Dear Mr. Arends:

Regarding your commentary at MarketWatch today, "What's Up -- Or Down -- With Gold?" --

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/whats-upor-down-with-gold-11616618248

-- I was disappointed that you did not address the constant and even daily but largely surreptitious intervention in the gold market by governments and central banks, which long has been documented by my organization, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.

For example, just this week GATA reported that the Bank of England refuses to answer whether it has resumed leasing gold:

https://gata.org/node/21025

Of course Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan acknowledged to Congress in 1998 that the objective of gold leasing by central banks is to suppress the price of the monetary metal:

https://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/testimony/1998/19980724.htm

GATA reports every month about the gold swaps and leases undertaken surreptitiously by the Bank for International Settlements in its role as gold broker for its member central banks. Our report for February concluded that this intervention in the gold market by the BIS had reached its highest level in history, precisely as the gold price was falling sharply:

https://gata.org/node/21001

In recent weeks the investigative financial journalists Pam and Russ Martens have reported about the huge increase -- hundreds of billions of dollars -- in the money held by the U.S. Treasury's Exchange Stabilization Fund, which since 1934 has been authorized by U.S. law to intervene secretly in the gold market and other markets throughout the world without having to account for it even to Congress:

https://gata.org/node/20792

https://gata.org/node/21014

Would so much money have been transferred to the Exchange Stabilization Fund without some plan to use it?

Surreptitious intervention in the gold market by governments and central banks is longstanding international policy documented and summarized by GATA here:

https://gata.org/node/20925

So we question how anyone can purport to explain the gold price without accounting for intervention by governments and central banks and putting critical questions to them.

Of course I would be glad to help you review the documentation if you ever wanted to address the gold price issue seriously.

With good wishes.

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

Scientists find a cheaper, greener way to produce hydrogen gas

By AKEMI KANDA/ Staff Writer

March 26, 2021 at 08:00 JST



KYOTO--Researchers have developed a cheaper and more efficient way to produce hydrogen from water, an achievement that could lead to clean-fuel production becoming more sustainable.

But the new metal catalyst developed by this team of researchers uses an alloy made of ruthenium and iridium, so that both hydrogen and oxygen can be generated at the same time through accelerating chemical reactions.

Ruthenium, iridium set to be price “winners” as supply elasticity tempers platinum, palladium

By
David McKay -
March 25, 2021

THE minor platinum group metals (PGMs) ruthenium and iridium, would be the “winners” in terms of average price performance in 2022 whilst the average prices for platinum and palladium would be tempered by new supply, according to research house, SFA Oxford.

Nickel-platinum nanoparticles give boost to detection of cancer and disease

(Nanowerk News) Early screening can mean the difference between life and death in a cancer and disease diagnosis. That's why University of Central Florida researchers are working to develop a new screening technique that's more than 300 times as effective at detecting a biomarker for diseases like cancer than current methods.

Silver A Bright Future But An Uncertain Now

March 25, 2021
Profile picture for user Rambus

I would like to show you some long term charts for Silver which shows that it has a bright future. In the short term is where its problems lie. The thing with big consolidation patterns is, its more of a time thing than a price thing. Many times one can recognize the big picture before it is complete which makes the waiting game even harder. You think you can start to trade inside the consolidation pattern which sometimes you can do if you can catch the reversal points just right. Most of the time though you end up loosing a little, making a little or just breaking even. It always looks easy in hindsight but in real time it is a different story.
