In this week's edition of Kinesis Money's "Live from the Vault" program at YouTube, London metals trader Andrew Maguire says central banks are using the recent "Trump trade" increase in the U.S. dollar index and the corresponding fall in the gold price to obtain real metal at a discount, buying gold futures contracts on the New York Commodities Exchange and turning them into demands for delivery of metal in London, which will force the shorts to cover as already has happened repeatedly this year.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA supporter Money Metals Exchange has posted at YouTube a video about its massive new monetary metals depository in Eagle, Idaho, said to be the largest such vault in the United States west of New York, a vault even larger than the U.S. gold repository at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

But as the United States' use of sanctions has proliferated in recent years, concerns have grown in China and elsewhere over whether the U.S. dollar can remain a safe-haven currency.
