European shares have fallen for the third-straight session. Investors worry about the standoff over U.S. debt.

The Frankfurt stock exchange started Wednesday heading downhill.

Germany wasn't alone.

All the key European markets fell in morning trade, amid concerns over the state of the U.S. economy.

Wrangling continues across the Atlantic over what to do to avoid a possible default.

And that's seen European investors cut their exposure to riskier assets.

Stefan Scharffetter from Baader Bank says there's every reason for Europe to worry if the U.S. situation worsens.

[Stefan Scharffetter, Baader Bank]:
"One can't really imagine what would happen if the U.S. becomes bankrupt. This could have consequences of such an extent that we have never seen before and so what we experienced two or three years ago with Lehman would only be a small fish compared to this."

A sick U.S. economy is the last thing the Euro zone needs, as it struggles to contain its own crisis.

Gold is viewed as a safe-haven for worried investors. It's reached a new record, of $1625.80 an ounce.

By midday the FTSEurofirst 300 had fallen more than four percent, down for its third straight session.

Marc Faber - Dr. Doom - how to invest


by on Oct 26, 2009

Fund managers and analysts, by nature, can not give objective advice. If you want to really get a sense of where to put your money, talk to the man on the street. The financial crisis was just an appetizer for what is to come and emerging markets are the most attractive investment for portfolio investors right now. Those are just some of the headlines from Marc Faber, Editor and Publisher of the Gloom, Boom and Doom Report. Dr. Faber joins us for this special edition of Financial Friday from the floor of the The International Cash Conference in Copenhagen.

Gold Bullion Breaches $1625, US Downgrade Now "Almost Certain" - 27 July 2011

Gold Bullion Breaches $1625, US Downgrade Now "Almost Certain" - 27 July 2011
http://goldnews.bullionvault.com/gold_bullion_072720113


Gold Bullion prices set a new intraday record of $1625 per ounce in Wednesday's Asian trade – 1.5% up on Friday's close – before easing back slightly after London opened.

Stocks and commodities fell but US Treasury bonds were up, as the US Congress had to postpone a vote on the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling.

Insuring US debt against default in the next 12 months now costs investors more than for 5-year bonds on the credit default swap market.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange has meantime introduced a 0.5% 'haircut' on US Treasury bills used as collateral. T-bills were previously considered risk-free.

Silver Bullion prices also rose early Wednesday, hitting $41.22 per ounce – a 2.8% gain on last Friday – and remaining just below that level throughout the morning.

"Support [for gold] now appears strong at $1577, the April high," say technical analysts at Gold Bullion bank Scotia Mocatta.

"Overall, it is believed that market environment should remain favorable and positive technical momentum is likely to see gold test new highs in the near term," adds Swiss precious metals refiner MKS.

A vote on Republican House of Representatives speaker John Boehner's plan to cut the US deficit had to be postponed Wednesday – after the Congressional Budget Office found that his proposals would not actually produce the anticipated reductions in federal borrowing.

What Central Bank Buying Means for the Gold Price

What Central Bank Buying Means for the Gold Price

 - 6 May 2011

Official sector buying tends to follow a pattern...

RECENT MONTHS have seen central banks Buying Gold in large quantities. This demand had to compete with other strong demand from all sides of the gold market. As we move into the quiet season for gold – and following the recent short, sharp correction – how will central banks react? asks Julian Phillips at GoldForecaster.

This week we received news that South America has now joined Asia, Russia, the Middle East and the Far East in 
Buying Gold for the national gold and foreign exchange reserves. 
Will the correction we are now seeing in the gold price affect central bank policies ofBuying Gold
Bolivia reported an increase of 7 tonnes of gold, taking its gold holdings to 35.3 tonnes, last week. While Bolivia has not made any public comment on this increase, it is very likely that the central bank has simply decided to restore its gold holdings relative to its growing foreign currency reserves, similar to other recent emerging market central bank purchases. 

This is an encouraging development for the Gold Price, because other central banks may follow suit. This will set a trend that will see price-insensitive demand grow from Official quarters.
Mexico's buying of gold in February and March amounted to 93.3 tonnes of gold, and is one of the most rapid programs of accumulation on record. With reserves now just over 100 tonnes in total, the market is holding its breath to see if it is an ongoing buyer. 
Mexico's vigorous purchase of gold over the last two months surprised the market by its speed and size. For any central bank to buy 93 tonnes in this market is a clear statement that faith in the U.S. dollar is falling fast. We do expect other emerging South American nations to follow suit over time, alongside many of the world's emerging economies. 

Buying programs by central banks usually follows a particular pattern. Central banks buy to hold, not to trade or profit from. They are a monetary asset held for the most extreme of national economic crises. 
This affects the way they buy for their reserves. The most preferred manner is to buy their own local production, as this is done away from the markets that really do make the gold price. The only impact on the global gold market is to lower supply through the absence of that country's production. 

The price paid to local miners is related to the market price at the time of the purchase, irrespective of the volume. The price paid by the central banks is not considered important but the volume acquired is. Central banks will deal in a way that takes only the gold available on the market at any time. 
This is done by 'buying the dips' or simply by notifying their bullion bank dealers that they are buyers of a minimum amount when it becomes available. When prices run ahead as supplies diminish, central banks will not chase prices, simply take what's offered to them. This prevents the Gold Price from rising. 
What is clear throughout the world is that central banks remain determined to keep their gold and foreign exchange reserves balanced, with gold an integral part of those reserves. The cessation of European central banks' sales nearly two years ago confirmed this, as do the ongoing purchases by Russia and China. 
Even in the Middle East oil producing nations are ensuring that they have gold in their reserves. This is a practice that is unlikely to end in the future. The days when the market feared central banks unloading all the gold they had are far gone. It is clear that gold will remain a key part of the global monetary scene as instability and uncertainty become entrenched over the next few years.
We are watching global central bank behavior to see if the extremely worrying dollar health will accelerate gold purchases. The South American central bank's action has confirmed that this is the case. We do expect more news on this front.

This makes the sudden sell-offs we saw this week and the subsequent recovery so interesting. We won't be informed of whether it was central banks which picked up the gold coming onto the market, but we do expect them to be one of the buyers. 
With newly mined gold production of around 5 tonnes a day reaching the physical markets a sudden additional amount of 5 or 10 tonnes will hammer the price. Frantic calls to buying central banks would be made but perhaps the buy orders had to wait until London was open before it could be bought. Meanwhile, in New York, the price would fall heavily. The news that such volumes could be bought anonymously through London would reach the ears of all global buying central banks. You can be sure that they would be linked to the London Fix by phone at the next Fix. 

The net result would be what we saw this last week, a large fall and a quick recovery. For some months now we have been forecasting that corrections will become short and sharp. What usually took weeks or months now takes days. This is because gold is not a commodity or a barbarous relic but a monetary metal.
With the developed world economic news pointing down to an anemic performance there is every incentive to avoid a drop in the value of developed world currencies by buying gold, as we have just seen in the last 18 months. 

Remember too that gold, since the turn of the century, has been rising in boom times and bust. Only in the latter half of 2007 did we see the gold price fall as investors in the developed world deleveraged their positions as the downturn made leveraged positions far more vulnerable. Investors had to find liquidity to fill the holes all falling markets created. Hence, their desire for liquidity became overwhelming. Such over-leveraged positions are a thing of the past, but those that are still there disappear fast on such days as we saw this week. 

The awareness of the vulnerability of investors' positions has made them react more quickly, adding to market volatility. But such volatility is short-term, as the cautious hunger for gold remains persistent and arrives 'on the dips'. Underlying, the precious metal markets is the insatiable demand from the Asian emerging markets, which, while it comes in jerks, is never-ending. 

Again, like central bank demand, Asian demand is interested in acquiring volume. Their price concerns are restricted to knowing they have not overpaid, but have bought at prices that will hold. They will only sell if they believe the price has risen too far too fast and may fall soon. Once the price has fallen they re-enter at lower levels, consistent with their objectives of holding gold long-term as financial security. They see gold just the same as the developed world sees cash.

Membeli sektor rasmi cenderung untuk mengikuti corak ...
BULAN TERKINI telah melihat bank-bank pusat Membeli Emas dalam kuantiti yang besar.Permintaan ini terpaksa bersaing dengan permintaan yang kukuh lain dari semua pihak pasaran emas. 
Ketika kita bergerak ke musim yang tenang untuk emas - dan berikut pendek baru-baru ini, pembetulan tajam - bagaimana bank pusat bertindak balas? meminta Julian Phillips pada GoldForecaster.
Minggu ini kita telah menerima berita bahawa Amerika Selatan kini telah menyertai Asia, Russia, Timur Tengah dan Timur Jauh dalam Membeli Emas untuk emas negara dan rizab pertukaran asing.
Pembetulan yang kita lihat harga emas akan menjejaskan dasar-dasar bank pusat ofBuying Emas?
Bolivia melaporkan peningkatan sebanyak 7 tan emas, mengambil pegangan emas 35,3 tan, minggu lepas. 
Walaupun Bolivia telah tidak membuat apa-apa komen orang ramai mengenai peningkatan ini, ia adalah kemungkinan besar bahawa bank pusat hanya memutuskan untuk memulihkan pegangan emas relatif kepada rizab mata wang asing yang kian meningkat, sama seperti pembelian lain yang muncul baru-baru ini pasaran bank pusat.
Ini adalah satu perkembangan yang menggalakkan untuk Harga Emas, kerana bank-bank pusat yang lain boleh menyusul. 
Ini akan menetapkan trend yang akan melihat permintaan harga-tidak sensitif berkembang daripada pihak Rasmi.
Membeli Mexico emas pada bulan Februari dan Mac berjumlah 93,3 tan emas, dan merupakan salah satu program yang paling pesat akumulasi dalam rekod.Dengan rizab kini hanya lebih 100 tan metrik dalam jumlah, pasaran sedang menahan nafas untuk melihat jika ia adalah pembeli yang berterusan.
Pembelian bertenaga Mexico emas dalam tempoh dua bulan yang lalu mengejutkan pasaran dengan kelajuan dan saiz. 
Bagi mana-mana bank pusat untuk membeli 93 tan metrik dalam pasaran ini adalah satu kenyataan yang jelas bahawa iman dalam dolar Amerika Syarikat (AS) jatuh dengan cepat. Kita menjangkakan lain yang baru muncul negara-negara Amerika Selatan untuk menyusul dari semasa ke semasa, di samping banyak ekonomi baru muncul di dunia.
Membeli program oleh bank-bank pusat biasanya mengikuti pola tertentu. 
Bank-bank pusat membeli untuk memegang, bukan untuk perdagangan atau keuntungan daripada. Mereka adalah aset kewangan yang dipegang untuk krisis ekonomi negara yang paling ekstrim.
Ini memberi kesan kepada cara mereka membeli untuk rizab mereka. 
Cara yang paling digemari untuk membeli pengeluaran tempatan mereka sendiri, kerana ini dilakukan jauh dari pasaran yang benar-benar membuat harga emas. Kesan hanya pada pasaran emas global adalah lebih rendah bekalan melalui ketiadaan pengeluaran negara itu.
Harga yang dibayar kepada pelombong tempatan yang berkaitan dengan harga pasaran pada masa pembelian, tanpa mengira kelantangan. 
Harga yang dibayar oleh bank-bank pusat tidak dianggap penting tetapi kelantangan yang diperolehi. Bank-bank pusat akan berurusan dengan cara yang mengambil hanya emas yang terdapat di pasaran pada bila-bila masa.Ini dilakukan dengan 'membeli dengan harga rendah' ​​atau hanya dengan memberitahu peniaga bank diniagakan mereka bahawa mereka adalah pembeli amaun minimum apabila ia menjadi tersedia. Apabila harga berjalan di hadapan mana bekalan berkurangan, bank-bank pusat tidak akan mengejar harga, anda hanya perlu mengambil apa yang ditawarkan kepada mereka. Ini menghalang Harga Emas meningkat.
Apa yang jelas di seluruh dunia bahawa bank-bank pusat masih berazam untuk menyimpan emas dan rizab pertukaran asing yang seimbang, dengan emas merupakan sebahagian daripada orang-orang rizab. 
Pemberhentian jualan bank-bank pusat Eropah hampir dua tahun lalu mengesahkan ini, seperti pembelian berterusan oleh Rusia dan China.
Walaupun pengeluar minyak Timur Tengah negara-negara adalah memastikan bahawa mereka mempunyai emas dalam rizab mereka. 
Ini adalah satu amalan yang tidak akan berakhir pada masa akan datang. Hari apabila pasaran takut bank-bank pusat memunggah semua emas yang mereka miliki jauh berlalu. Ia adalah jelas bahawa emas akan kekal sebagai sebahagian utama senario kewangan global sebagai ketidakstabilan dan ketidaktentuan menjadi berakar dalam tempoh beberapa tahun akan datang.
Kami sedang memerhatikan tingkah laku bank pusat global untuk melihat jika kesihatan dolar yang sangat membimbangkan akan mempercepatkan pembelian emas. 
Tindakan bank pusat Amerika Selatan telah mengesahkan bahawa ini adalah kes itu. Kita menjangkakan lebih banyak berita di hadapan ini.
Ini menjadikan secara tiba-tiba menjual kira kita lihat minggu ini dan pemulihan berikutnya yang begitu menarik. 
Kami tidak akan diberitahu sama ada ia adalah bank-bank pusat yang mengambil emas yang datang ke pasaran, tetapi kita mengharapkan mereka untuk menjadi salah satu pembeli.
Dengan pengeluaran emas yang baru dilombong sekitar 5 tan sehari mencapai pasaran fizikal jumlah tambahan secara tiba-tiba 5 atau 10 tan akan tukul harga. 
Panggilan terburu-buru untuk membeli bank-bank pusat akan dibuat tetapi mungkin perintah membeli terpaksa menunggu sehingga London terbuka sebelum ia boleh dibeli. Sementara itu, di New York, harga akan jatuh banyak. Berita bahawa jilid itu boleh dibeli tanpa nama melalui London akan sampai ke telinga semua bank pusat membeli global. Anda boleh memastikan bahawa mereka akan dikaitkan dengan fix London melalui telefon di fix seterusnya.
Hasil bersih akan apa yang kita lihat ini minggu lalu, kejatuhan besar dan pemulihan yang cepat. 
Untuk beberapa bulan kini kita telah meramalkan bahawa pembetulan akan menjadi pendek dan tajam. Apa yang biasanya mengambil masa beberapa minggu atau bulan sekarang ini memakan masa hari. Ini adalah kerana emas tidak komoditi atau relik kejam tetapi logam monetari.
Dengan dunia maju berita ekonomi yang menunjuk kepada prestasi yang mengalami anemia setiap insentif untuk mengelakkan kejatuhan nilai mata wang dunia yang maju dengan membeli emas, seperti yang kita baru sahaja dilihat dalam tempoh 18 bulan yang lalu.
Ingat juga bahawa emas, sejak pergantian abad, telah meningkat pada zaman ledakan dan dada.Hanya pada separuh kedua tahun 2007 yang kita lihat kejatuhan harga emas sebagai pelabur di negara maju deleveraged kedudukan mereka sebagai kemelesetan yang dibuat dimanfaatkan kedudukan yang jauh lebih terdedah. 
Pelabur telah mencari kecairan untuk mengisi lubang-lubang yang semua pasaran yang jatuh diwujudkan. Oleh itu, hasrat mereka untuk kecairan menjadi hangat. Apa-apa jawatan terlebih leveraj adalah satu perkara yang masa lalu, tetapi orang-orang yang masih ada hilang berpuasa pada hari itu seperti yang kita lihat minggu ini.
Kesedaran tentang kelemahan kedudukan pelabur telah membuat mereka bertindak balas lebih cepat, menambah kepada turun naik pasaran. 
Tetapi turun naik itu adalah jangka pendek, sebagai kelaparan berhati-hati emas masih berterusan dan tiba 'pada harga rendah'. Dasar, pasaran logam berharga adalah permintaan yang tidak pernah puas dari pasaran baru muncul Asia, yang, semasa ia datang jerks, tidak berkesudahan.
Sekali lagi, seperti permintaan bank pusat, permintaan Asia berminat untuk memperolehi isipadu. 
Kebimbangan harga mereka adalah terhad untuk mengetahui mereka tidak terlebih dibayar, tetapi telah dibeli pada harga yang akan mengadakan. Mereka hanya akan menjual jika mereka percaya bahawa harga telah meningkat terlalu jauh terlalu cepat dan mungkin akan jatuh tidak lama lagi. Apabila harga telah jatuh, mereka kembali masuk pada tahap yang lebih rendah, selaras dengan objektif mereka memegang emas jangka panjang sebagai jaminan kewangan. Mereka melihat emas yang sama seperti negara maju melihat wang tunai

US Federal Reserve - Printing more dollars


by on Jul 27, 2011

But will it help the US economy or just create more problems for the rest of the world?

The US federal reserve has decided to pump $600bn dollars into the US economy by buying back government bonds from banks and financial institutions, in the hope that they will loan the money out to businesses.

The fed has already spent$1.7tn trying to pull the US economy out of recession - but unemployment has remained at almost 10 per cent.

While nobody knows whether the process of spending more money will work, it is almost certain to devalue the dollar.

That should help US exporters, but countries from China to Japan, Brazil to South Korea may introduce controls on money flooding into their economies - making their exports more expensive and creating inflation and property bubbles.

And all of this has got investors pouring money into commodities as during times of uncertainty they like to hold gold, copper and oil, which are seen as a better store of wealth than the world's reserve currency - the dollar.

Will the US be able to solve its chronic economic problems by printing more dollars, or will it simply create more problems for the rest of the world?

Joining Inside Story to discuss this are: Peter Schiff, the president of Euro Pacific Capital, a brokerage firm; Max Fraad Wolff, a professor of economics at New School University; and Seijiro Takeshita, the director of Mizuho International PLC.
