Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The U.S. Federal Reserve is the only major entity still running short positions in gold and silver, London metals trader Andrew Maguire says in this week's edition of Kinesis Money's "Live from the Vault" program.

Maguire adds that, as your secretary/treasurer and others long have speculated, the bullion banks nominally carrying short positions in the monetary metals are actually just executing Federal Reserve positions. "No bullion bank is short for its own book," Maguire asserts.

A gauge of gold equities from MSCI Inc. has soared about 135% this year, tracking gains in the precious metal. It's on course for its greatest-ever outperformance versus the index compiler's measure of major global semiconductor firms, which is up 40%.

Morgan Stanley just blinked.

After decades of worshiping at the altar of 60/40 (stocks/bonds), they have shifted to 60/20/20 (stocks/bonds/gold). Gold now has a real seat at the table.

Nobody likes to go first -- not in markets, not in start-ups, not in fashion. But once the ice breaks, the floodgates can open.

MUMBAI -- India's imports of gold and silver nearly doubled in September from August, defying record high prices, as banks and jewelers rushed to build inventories ahead of festivals and escape higher taxes on imports, trade and government sources said.

Higher imports by India, the world's second-biggest consumer of the precious metal, are set to support gold prices that hit records this week, even as demand languishes in top buyer China.

A spectacular gold-market boom is spurring a push by African nations -- where the ground is rich in the precious metal -- to extract more revenue.

Bullion has soared almost 50% this year and hit yet another all-time high today at more than $3,800 an ounce. Global tensions stoked by President Donald Trump’s trade war, fears of an American government shutdown, and central bank buying have all helped to bolster its appeal as a safe-haven asset.

Simply claiming that the markets are massively overpriced and will return to "normal" marks you as a dinosaur who has y
