Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Writing today about Friday's sharp rise and sharp fall in the gold price, Gold Newsletter editor Brien Lundin writes that something major seems to be happening with gold besides central bank buying.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
Commenting to Eric King at King World News, GoldMoney founder James Turk says silver's sharp fall on Friday began when the London physical market closed and the New York paper market took over.

Investors and metals traders can't agree on what exactly is behind gold's recent rally. At King Gold & Pawn in Brooklyn, the customers don't care. They just want to sell.
For some, sky-high values simply mean it's a good time to cash in; It's hard to ignore record prices that climbed above $2,400 an ounce last week. For others, it's a more desperate move to get money for bills and rent. Whatever the need, what's clear is jewelers and pawn shops are seeing a flood of sellers.

The U.S. and the U.K. have launched a crackdown on trades in Russian metals, in a move designed to limit Moscow's export revenue and restrict its ability to fund the war in Ukraine.
