| London Gold Market ReportTHE U.S. DOLLAR gold price drifted back below $1390 an ounce Monday morning in London, but remained well within its trading range of the last few weeks, as European stock markets edged higher, with analysts citing Wednesday's Federal Open Market Committee decision on US monetary policy as "the big driver" for this week."On the whole, the market hopes for insightful comments in the course of the next Fed policy meeting...which will affect gold's further development as welMonday, June 17, 2013 |

| Theory of Interest and Prices in Paper Currency Part III (Credit) |
| In the gold standard, credit comes into existence when one party lends and another borrows. The lender is a saver who prefers earning interest to hoarding his gold. The borrower is an arbitrager who sees an opportunity to earn a net profit greater than the rate of interest.Monday, June 17, 2013 |

Gold is being supplied by western governments  |
| There has been considerable throughput of gold in western capital markets, with substantial buying from all round the world following the April price crash. The supply can only have come from two sources: the general public, or one or more governments. It really is that simple. Two months later the gold price has only partially recovered, so physical supplies have continued to be made available. Physical demand cannot have been entirely satisfied by ETF liquidations, confirming governments are iMonday, June 17, 2013 |

| Developing Crisis in the Developing World |
| Things have been a little erratic lately here in US, but not really headline-worthy.
The economy continues to grow, sort of, houses continue to sell and stock
and bond prices fluctuate but can't seem to follow through in either direction.
We are not, in short, engulfed in any kind of crisis.
But out in the world, especially in once-hot emerging markets like Brazil
and China, the story is very different. As Prudent Bear's Doug Noland explains

| While the Fed Parties, Gold and Oil Have Left the Building |
| Risk assets and financial markets around the world have been supported by
central bank action for several years. Performing financial alchemy on a scale
larger than has been seen in the history of mankind, central banks have hijacked
global financial markets. Mountains of liquidity, artificially low interest
rates, and the creation of future asset bubbles has been their calling card
for the past few years.
Unfortunately, time is starting to run out and these great Keynesian minds

| Mining exploration companies must mobilize to survive, new group says |
| Canadian junior mining companies, which do most of the resource exploration in the world, are being strangled by financial regulation and must mobilize to survive, a new organization says.
The organization, the Venture Company Association, says regulatory costs are rising while the mining industry's ability to raise capital is collapsing. The association says that more than 700 mining exploration companies registered in Canada probably cannot survive to the end of the year if they have to meet cFriday, June 14, 2013 |

| Inflation Is Instantaneous |
| The financial mania climaxed as a complete bubble in 2007. Virtually, this replicated
the conclusion of all of the great bubbles since the first in 1720. As with
the 1929 and 1873 examples, its culmination was anticipated by the treasury
yield curve reversing from inverted to steepening. In 2007 this key reversal
counted out to that June and the curve reversed in that fateful May.
The features of the post-bubble contraction include severe recessions and
weak recoveries. This has, indeFriday, June 14, 2013 |

| Global Cobalt |
| Most of the world’s cobalt is mined in Africa and the majority of Africa’s cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The DRC represented about 55 percent of global mine supply in 2012 and the country contains almost 50 percent of known worldwide cobalt reserves.
The DRC wants miners to process all their mined ore in the country to encourage more value-added production. On April 5th 2013, the government gave companies 90 days to clear stocks and halt exports of unrefined copper and cobFriday, June 14, 2013 |

| Visualizing Gold Demand In China |
| This report in China Daily the other day that included the stunning photos shown below offers another example of the sharp contrast between the “physical” gold market in Asia and the “paper” gold market here in the U.S.
There appear to have been hundreds of people lined up outside of a gold store in Jinan City in East China’s Shandong province on Tuesday, all there to buy gold at a discount.
Customers were limited to 15 minutes inside the store to make their purchases, what must have seemFriday, June 14, 2013 |

| Tis the Season to Look At Gold and Oil Prices! |
| The two most popular investments a few years ago have been dormant and out
of the spot light. But from looking at the price of both gold and oil charts
their time to shine may be closer than one may thing.
Seasonal charts allow us to look at what the average price for an investment
does during a specific time of the year. The gold and oil seasonal charts below
clearly show that we are entering a time which price tends to drift higher.

| Top five silver commentators |
| For those of you new to silver investment, you are perhaps looking at the price and wondering if now is a good time to buy silver and what the future has in store for gold’s sister metal. A recent Best of the Web feature looked at silver investment demand and how it was undervalued compared to paper assets, the author concludes that silver demand is about to ‘explode’. So on that basis we thought it helpful to bring you a list of those commentators we look out for when we’ve got some questions aThursday, June 13, 2013 |
