China is in on gold price suppression too
12:49p ET Friday, March 2, 2012
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Andrew Maguire's disclosure via King World News today that the Pan Asia Gold Exchange has been killed because of pressure brought in China by a New York financial house --
http://www.gata.org/node/11060
-- signifies that as much as gold advocates have seen China as an ally against the gold price suppression scheme, the Chinese government is cooperating with price suppression insofar as it serves the Chinese government's interests as well.
That is, while the Chinese government appears to be purchasing the full output of the nation's gold mines, is buying up natural resources around the world, and reducing its dollar-denominated assets --
http://www.gata.org/node/11050
-- it is far from fully hedged against dollar devaluation. That hedging may be best achieved by slow and steady acquisition of gold and other natural resources rather than by moves that spike prices one way or the other. And if China wants gold as badly as it seems to, price spikes can only get in the way and engender competition by drawing other investors to the monetary metal.
Thus China may put a certain rising floor under the gold price, but a ceiling on top of it too.
Of course other governments and their central banks know what is going on in the gold market and are not likely to leave China without competition, and there is always the chance that this competition will cause a conflict that will spike the price. But as long as private investors -- from hedge funds to ordinary investment houses to retail investors -- are satisfied that a certificate with "gold" printed on it really is gold, and as long as precious metals mining companies have no clue about the true monetary nature of their product and refrain from the necessary political and educational activism, the gold price suppression scheme probably can go on forever.
For gold is simply power, political as well as economic, and no government will surrender it easily.

A Rare Opportunity with Collectible Gold Coins
Whose Premiums Are Far Below Normal
Sovereign debt problems in the United States as well as Europe will worsen this year. The mainstream financial media may never report about the likely inflationary consequences of bailouts and "quantitative easing," nor are they likely ever to recommend tangible assets for financial protection. But at Swiss America Trading Corp. we believe that it is no longer a luxury to own gold and silver coins but rather a necessity.
At the moment the public is showing little interest in Double Eagle U.S. $20 gold coins, so the price premiums above the intrinsic melt values (.9675 ounce of gold in each coin) are historically low. The ratio of price to bullion content for these coins has been 2:1 but today it is only about 1.25:1.
This is a real opportunity. So give us a call or e-mail and we will be glad to discuss the potential of these coins and how to use a ratio strategy to increase your gold ounces without money out of pocket.
In the January edition of his Early Warning Report, Richard Maybury writes: "As they are inherently in very limited supply, I believe that high-quality numismatics will become tulips, eventually rising a thousand percent or more in real terms, when money velocity goes into mid-second stage. In late stage, who knows -- 2,000 percent? 3,000?"

Free Month Subscription to Market Force Analysis for GATA Supporters
Market Force Analysis is a unique, patent-pending approach to commodity market analysis. An algorithm has been developed to extract supply and demand weightings from futures market data. The difference between supply and demand is the market imbalance that is called "market force," so named because it is what drives price. It brings clarity to past market action and predicts market trends. Because it is derived from accurate futures market data it is not subject to the errors inherent in macro-level estimates of supply and demand.
