Gold and silver are increasingly being treated as more than commodities. Across the country, more states are moving to recognize precious metals as legal tender or legal money in some form.
At the same time, some states are mimicking the activity of central banks and beginning to accumulate gold as part of reserve structures and rainy day funds. Together those moves demonstrate how precious metals are being taken more seriously as tools for preserving value.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
London metals trader Andrew Maguire today tells Kinesis Money's "Live from the Vault" program that "central bank gold wars have spilled into the daylight" and events in China suggest that an upheaval in the gold market is targeted for July 24.

Gold market manipulation hasn't gone away and GATA still needs your help

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
The last year has been dramatic for the monetary metals. Sharp increases in price, indicative of short squeezes, have been offset by counterintuitive downward smashes even as a major war has broken out while another has intensified. News reports and analysis have emphasized the role of some central banks as major longs in the gold and silver markets but not the continuing role of other central banks on the short side in defense of their currencies and particularly the U.S. dollar.
GATA still needs your help if gold market manipulation is to be defeated

It is the first time the survey, carried out by the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, has found such a shift away from the dollar.
