| What is the Spot Gold Price?
When trading gold bullion, the price is usually governed by the "Spot Gold Price". This is the explicit value at which an ounce of gold is selling for on the "over the counter" market at any given point in time.
Just like shares, the gold spot price changes minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour as supply and demand fluctuate. The gold spot price, also known as the "gold current price" can be affected by other influences, such as economic uncertainty, war or any other factorSunday, September 13, 2020 |

| Recently, Russian television network RT extensively quoted me in a series of articles about the US Government’s gold reserves. The RT articles, published on the RT.com website, were based on a series of questions RT put to me about various aspects of the official US gold reserves. These gold reserves are held by the US Treasury, mostly in the custody of the US Mint. The US Mint is a branch of the US Treasury.

 Neck and Neck: Russian and Chinese Official Gold Reserves  |
| Official gold reserve updates from the Russian and Chinese central banks are probably one of the more closely watched metrics in the gold world. After the US, Germany, Italy and France, the sovereign gold holdings of China and Russia are the world’s 5th and 6th largest. And with the gold reserves ‘official figures’ of the US, Germany, Italy and France being essentially static, the only numbers worth watching are those of China and Russia.

| Germany Finishes Gold Repatriation |
| At the end of August, Germany completed its gold transfer process. What does it mean for the gold market?
On August 23, 2017, the Bundesbank informed that it had finished the planned repatriation of gold earlier than originally assumed. The German central bank transferred approximately 300 tons of gold from the New York Fed and about 374 tons of the yellow metal from Paris in the years 2013-2016. In that way, the Bundesbank managed to realize its gold storage plan three years ahead of schedule. Thursday, September 14, 2017 |

| Did The Dutch Central Bank Lie About Its Gold Bar List |
| Head of the Financial Markets Division of the Dutch central bank, Aerdt Houben, stated in an interview for newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad published in October 2016 that releasing a bar list of the Dutch official gold reserves “would cost hundreds of thousands of euros”. In this post we’ll expose this is virtually impossible – the costs to publish the bar list should be close to zero – and speculate about the far reaching implications of this falsehood.

| Is the COMEX Rigged |
| The COMEX gold futures market and the London OTC gold market have a joint monopoly on setting the international gold price. This is because these two markets generate the largest ‘gold’ trading volumes and have the highest ‘liquidity’. However, this price setting dominance is despite either of these two markets actually trading physical gold bars. Both markets merely trade different forms of derivatives of gold bars.
Overall, the COMEX (which is owned by the CME Group) is even more dominant thatTuesday, July 18, 2017 |
