Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
On Kinesis Money's "Live from the Vault" program this week, London gold trader Andrew Maguire says suppressed Western gold prices are increasingly being arbitraged with higher prices in the East, especially in barter trade for oil in Russia.

My estimation of global official gold reserves hit 38,764 tonnes in Q2 2023, breaking its previous record from 1965.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

A former JPMorgan Chase & Co. gold trader was ordered to serve six months behind bars for a fraud conviction tied to deceptive orders, the last criminal penalty imposed in a years-long spoofing saga at the bank.
