Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Rob Kientz of GoldSilverPros has produced a short documentary on the extreme and comic difficulty encountered by one investor undertaking an experiment of taking delivery of a single silver futures contract from the New York Commodities Exchange.
The difficulty seems to arise more from the broker being used than from the exchange itself. But the broker seems to have been advertising its ability to deliver real metal for silver contract buyers when the broker actually had never done it before.

White House economic adviser Brian Deese said today November's inflation report won't account for recent declines in the cost of energy and commodities, an effort by the Biden administration to downplay data that is sure to show a surge in consumer prices.
Deese said that the Consumer Price Index report to be released Friday is "backward looking" and won't capture "recent price movements" in gasoline and natural gas prices, as well as declines in shipping costs and commodities.

That the world is on the edge of a monetary and economic cliff is becoming increasingly obvious. And becoming more obviously permanent than transient, price inflation will almost certainly lead to rising interest rates.
Rising bond yields, falling equity markets and debt-triggered insolvencies will naturally follow.

From time to time I am fortunate enough to have conversations with Chris Powell of GATA, who discusses his opinions on all matters concerning the gold market. Powell and Bill Murphy have done so much to expose the manipulation of the gold markets by the U.S. monetary authorities, which always seem to be trying to keep the gold price suppressed. This year seems to have been an extreme, almost maniacal example of this policy, which impairs price discovery by the international gold market.
