In the first 30 minutes of Comex floor trading, 3.2 million ounces of paper gold "bombs" were dropped on the Comex. Currently the Comex is showing that 2.5 million ozs of gold have been made available in Comex custodial vaults for delivery. Naked short-selling of futures contracts this extreme only occurs in the gold and silver markets. If selling of this magnitude relative the amount of underlying available for delivery occurred in any other commodity, the CFTC would immediately investigate. Not so in gold because the CFTC is part of the elitist team that is charged with price management of gold.
... This is starting to smell a lot like 2008. By nearly all private sector reported economic data series, the economy is starting to tank hard. Just today the employment component index of the NY ISM manufacturing report plunged at its fastest pace in history and hit a 7-yr low. A bevy of private sector reports yesterday showed similar trends. Most notably construction spending fell in August -- vs. a .7% gain expected. It was the second month in row construction spending declined after a big downward revision pushed July into a decline vs. June. Construction spending is now contracting for the first time in 5 years. source article | permalink | discuss | subscribe by: | RSS | email Comments: Be the first to add a comment add a comment | go to forum thread Note: Comments may take a few minutes to show up on this page.
