Gold Climbs to Record for Second Day on Inflation; Silver at 31-Year Peak

April 6, 2011 Comments off

Gold gained to a record for a second day in New York and London as rising inflation spurred demand for an investment haven and the dollar slumped against the euro. Silver advanced to a 31-year high.

China raised interest rates yesterday for the fourth time since mid-October ahead of a report that may show consumer prices climbed last month at the fastest pace since 2008. The euro rallied to a more-than 14-month high versus the greenback before the European Central Bank meets tomorrow to decide on interest rates.

“The reality of accelerating inflation in China is indeed positive for gold,” UBS AG analyst Edel Tully said in a report. Some investors buy gold as a hedge against rising prices.

Gold for June delivery rose $6.90, or 0.5 percent, to $1,459.40 an ounce at 8 a.m. in New York after reaching a record $1,462.10 earlier today. Gold for immediate-delivery rose as much as 0.4 percent to an all-time high of $1,460.92 an ounce, and was up 0.2 percent at $1,458.78 in London.

Gold gained to $1,457 an ounce in the morning “fixing” in London, used by some mining companies to sell output, from $1,433.50 at Read more…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Apr 03, 2011 – Gold attracts great emotion from people and it’s got always done so. It seems to bring out the extremes in traders, reporters, and governments. It is either hated or cherished. Copper is not, nickel isn’t and coal isn’t. You are able to call it a commodity, a barbarous relic, money or perhaps a wealth preserver. What ever title you use, someone will react. As being a metal, it’s got particular characteristics that other metals do not have, but that’s not what produces these reactions. It’s not even its price rise over the last ten years that leads to the clamor. Actually, it’s not about gold at all. http://silver-dollar-values.com has all the details for a precious metals investing decision.

Governments have in turn cherished it, hated it and now are beginning to adore it again. It’s what it is purported to signify that leads to all the fuss. Just take a look at the factors put forward by some regarding why it’s rising in price and Read more…

12 Warning Signs of U.S. Hyperinflation

March 29, 2011 Comments off

inflation

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive at the National Inflation Association (NIA) is what warning signs will there be when hyperinflation is imminent. In our opinion, the majority of the warning signs that hyperinflation is imminent are already here today, but most Americans are failing to properly recognize them. NIA believes that there is a serious risk of hyperinflation breaking out as soon as the second half of this calendar year and that hyperinflation is almost guaranteed to occur by the end of this decade.

In our estimation, the most likely time frame for a full-fledged outbreak of hyperinflation is between the years 2013 and 2015. Americans who wait until 2013 to prepare, will most likely see the majority of their purchasing power wiped out. It is essential that all Americans begin preparing for hyperinflation immediately.

Here are NIA’s top 12 warning signs that hyperinflation is about to occur: Read more…

Silver, gold gain on fast-changing global events

March 23, 2011 Comments off

businessweek

Silver and gold prices are climbing as developing crises from Portugal’s financial problems to uprisings in the Middle East are prompting investors to buy more stable assets.

Silver for May delivery rose 2.6 percent Wednesday to settle at $37.198 an ounce. Gold settled up $10.40 at $1,438 an ounce.

Investors are nervous as they monitor fast-changing global events.

In Portugal, lawmakers are poised to vote against more austerity measures for the debt-stressed country. Meanwhile violence in the Middle East and North Africa is raising concern about oil supplies.

The uncertainty of how those events will play out is supporting both precious metals, which have the reputation of being safer assets to hold during turbulent economic times.

Energy prices were mainly higher. Bean and grain prices fell.

President Obama

As the Obama administration prepares to finance a Fiscal Year 2011 budget deficit expected to top $1.6 trillion, the American public is largely unaware that the true negative net worth of the federal government reached $76.3 trillion last year.

That figure was five times the 2010 gross domestic product of the United States and exceeded the estimated gross domestic product for the world by approximately $14.4 trillion.

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. GDP for 2010 was $14.861 trillion. World GDP in 2010, according to the International Monetary Fund, was $61.936 trillion.

Shock the Washington establishment by participating in the “No More Red Ink” campaign and shut down all new plans for bailouts, “stimulus” spending and even the funding for Obamacare.

“As government obligations continue to spiral out of control and the U.S. government shows no willingness to make the magnitude of spending cuts required to return to fiscal responsible, the U.S. economy is headed to a great collapse coming in the form of a hyper-inflationary great Read more…

Secret Iran Gold Holdings Leaked: Tehran Holds Same Amount Of Gold As United Kingdom, And Is Buying More

While it will not come as a major surprise to most, according to senior BOE individuals and Wikileaks, Iran, as well as Qatar and Jordan have been actively purchasing gold well over the amount reported to and by the IMF, in an accelerated attempt to diversify their holdings away from the US dollar. “Iran has bought large amounts of gold in the international market, according to a senior Bank of England official, in a sign of how growing political pressure has driven Tehran to reduce its exposure to the US dollar. Andrew Bailey, head of banking at the Bank of England, told an American official that the central bank had observed “significant moves by Iran to purchase gold”, according to a US diplomatic cable obtained by WikiLeaks and seen by the Financial Times.” The reason for Tehran’s scramble into gold: “an attempt by Iran to protect its reserves from risk of seizure”. The misrepresentation of Iran’s holdings could be so vast that Iran could possibly be one of the largest holders of goldin the world. “Market observers believe Tehran has been one of the biggest buyers of bullion over the past decade after China, Russia and India, and is among the Read more…

Market professionals and experienced investors consider it to be common knowledge that silver has more real-world uses than its precious metal sister gold. Silver is used in coins, photography, batteries, bearings, electronics, and mirrors. Silver also aids in numerous medical applications and even contributes to helping capture and use solar energy. The Silver Institute describes “silver uses” as follows:

Demand for silver is built on three main pillars: industrial and decorative uses, photography, and jewelry & silverware. Together, these three categories represent more than 95 percent of annual silver consumption. In 2007, 455.5 million ounces of silver were used for industrial applications, while over 128 million ounces of silver were committed to the photographic sector, 163.4 million ounces were consumed in the jewelry market, and 58.8 million ounces were used in the silverware market.

Why is this indispensable metal in such demand? The reasons are simple. Silver has Read more…
