Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Pam and Russ Martens of Wall Street on Parade today detail how major financial news organizations, including The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, suppress major news impugning the Federal Reserve and the big banks the Fed purportedly supervises. Of course as GATA has long complained, the major financial news organizations similarly suppress what should be news about intervention against gold by central banks and the commercial banks they use as brokers.

Describing evolving inflationary conditions as stagflation misses the point about today's inflationary conditions. Stagflation was originally used only in the context of excessive wage increases not matched by improved trading prospects. Just in that narrow sense, today we are experiencing stagflation.

LONDON -- A group of banks that partnered with the London Metal Exchange (LME) to launch gold and silver futures in 2017 is preparing to abandon the project after hoped-for volumes did not materialise, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
Such a move would end an attempt by the LME, which dominates industrial metals trading, to capture part of London's bullion market, which is the world's largest with gold worth some $17 trillion changing hands last year.

Inflation-adjusted interest rates remain sharply negative, yet the COMEX gold price remains down on the year. On a historical basis, this is a very odd divergence, and it sets up an interesting trade as we move toward 2022.
Much has been made of the current drop in inflation-adjusted or "real" interest rates. And what are real interest rates? The rate of return a bondholder sees once inflation and loss of purchasing power is taken into account. ...

Last Wednesday the editorial board of the Financial Times of London penned an editorial under a headline that read: "The Fed's Trading Scandal Undermines Public Trust." The editorial noted that the president of the Dallas Fed, Robert Kaplan, "held stakes over $1 million each in 27 investments, and moved in and out of S&P 500 futures. The precise dates of his transactions are unknown as his form declaring financial interests merely gives 'multiple' as the timeframe."
