Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Reginald H. Howe, partner in Golden Sextant Advisors and litigator in the first gold price-fixing case, Howe vs. Bank for International Settlements, has just analyzed the latest precious metals derivatives report from the BIS and finds that they exploded in the six months ending last June 30. The gold and silver derivatives, Howe remarks, have lost any relation to possible gold production and again raise the question of whether real metal can be delivered against the claims that have been sold. Howe's commentary is headlined "Precious Metals Derivatives: Louder Music, Fewer Chairs," and you can find it at the Golden Sextant Internet site here:
