Interest rates in Hong Kong have been eerily low, raising the question of whether the city’s dollar peg is now in name only.
Hong Kong surrendered its monetary autonomy decades ago, thanks to a unique mechanism that restricts its currency fluctuation to a narrow band of 7.75 and 7.85 per dollar. That means the city's borrowing costs move in lockstep with those in the United States, which are dictated by the Federal Reserve's rate policies.

Central banks have emerged as a driving force behind the record-breaking bull market for gold, and while the true scale of their buying is shrouded in mystery, nobody expects them to stop.
Globally, they are accumulating roughly 80 metric tons of gold a month, worth about $8.5 billion at current prices, analysts at Goldman Sachs estimate. Most of the buying is secret, although trade data indicates China accounts for a lot of the purchases, along with other unidentified buyers via Switzerland.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
Sprott Money's Andrew Sleigh, interviewed by his colleague Kellen Ainey, says suppression of gold and silver prices by bullion banks continues but is far less effective and has much less duration lately, in part because the bullion banks are using their own price smashing in the futures market to acquire actual metal at lower prices.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
At the Daily Reckoning today financial analyst and author James G. Rickards takes note of the annual BRICS+ leaders conference to be held in Brazil next weekend. The conference won't produce a new gold-backed currency, Rickards writes, but it doesn't have to, since the BRICS+ countries are already treating gold itself as a currency.

Deep in the mountains of northern Peru, a bloody war is being fought over gold. As its international price sets successive record highs above $3,000 an ounce, criminal gangs, illegal miners, and established mining companies battle over the metal.
The conflict is not fought out in the open but in a maze of tunnels that stretch for miles inside the mountains of Pataz, a gold-rich Andean province about 130 miles inland from Peru's third city, Trujillo.
