So far this month the daily cash reports from the U.S. Treasury are demonstrating reasonably consistent cash outflows and debt buildup. There is a huge amount of noise in daily cash movements, but the gross debt is close to $30.6 trillion versus a statutory debt limit of $31.38 trillion, compared to an amount of $28.43 trillion on October 1, 2021. So there is not too much headroom with the debt and it looks like the time is near when efforts will be made to obfuscate the real position.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
TF Metals Report publisher Craig Hemke is London metals trader Andrew Maguire's guest this week on Kinesis Money's "Live from the Vault" program, urging gold and silver investors to avoid the futures market and stick to steady accumulation of physical metal.
The futures markets are rigged by the bullion banks, Hemke notes, but he adds that he has never seen the metals markets as bullish as they are now, since the banks are longer than they have ever been and the speculators shorter.

Advocates of sound money place much of the blame for inflation on bank credit. Do away with the creation of bank credit, they say, and the destructive cycle of boom and bust will be cured. But is this solution practical, and is it the real inflation problem?
It may be an inconvenient fact, but commodity prices prove to be far more volatile under a fiat currency regime than they ever where under sound money and fluctuations in bank credit.

These LBMA vaults comprise vaults in and around London run by the bullion banks JP Morgan, HSBC, and ICBC Standard Bank, as well as the London vaults of three security operators, Brinks, Malca-Amit, and Loomis, the London sub-Billion Market Association.
