| Silver Recoups Sharp Loss And Rises 2% On Record Volume |
| Today’s AM fix was USD 1,378.75, EUR 1,070.21 and GBP 908.39 per ounce.
Yesterday’s AM fix was USD 1,353.75, EUR 1,051.95 and GBP 890.86 per ounce.
Gold climbed $19.40 or 1.43% yesterday to $1,384.30/oz and silver finished 2% higher.
Silver’s recovery yesterday from being 10% lower at one stage to recouping these losses and then rising over 2% was very positive technically. The key reversal is leading some to postulate that we may have seen the bottom or are close to a bottom.

| Gold market report: continuing consolidation |
| Gold and silver continued their consolidation after the April lows, trading in narrow ranges with a firm undertone. Attention is now firmly focused on Chinese and Indian demand for gold, which between them is absorbing all non-Asian mine supply. Chinese net purchases of gold totalled 320.54 tonnes in the first quarter 2013, with purchases in March alone being 130 tonnes compared with February’s 97 tonnes, according to official statistics. Note that the March total was before the drop in price inMonday, May 13, 2013 |

Financial Treachery & Harsh Consequences  |
| The most powerful element of the shift has been the movement of gold wealth from Western locations (New York, London, Switzerland) to Eastern locations (China, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong). Most residents of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Western Europe are in shock, constantly distracted by the sweeping disruptive events led by a) unstoppable government deficits, b) the powerful crumble of sovereign bonds, c) the ruinous insolvency of the banking systems, d) the relentless reign of tax terror, and e) the tragic decline of the underlying economiesWednesday, May 01, 2013 |

| Gold's Plunge Ultimately Healthy for the Sector: Michael Gray |
| The Gold Report: On April 15, gold dropped to a two-year low as panic selling set in across many mine commodities. Was this the larger players showing the retail market who is in control or was it inevitable?
Michael Gray: Several firms have been predicting a mid-cycle correction for gold; it just happened faster and with more volatility than expected. It also seems to be a very well-timed short-selling trade, especially on the back of the positive gold price correlation with quantitative easinTuesday, April 30, 2013 |

| Reinventing Bretton Woods: Global Finance In Transition - Currency Wars |
| As you may recall, Bretton Woods was the name of the conference, taken from its location, that set up the post World War II international currency arrangement with the US dollar as the reserve currency of the world. It was based on a dollar convertible in gold.
When Nixon arbitrarily shut the 'gold window' in 1971 the world entered a reserve currency system of purely fiat dollars, often called Bretton Woods II.
There are a number of theories that suggest that such a system is not sustainable,Saturday, April 27, 2013 |

| When I was eleven years old – in 1981 – my “allowance” was $3.00/week; which I supplemented with a New York Post paper route that paid an additional $3.00/week. My parents kept giving me $3.00/week until 1983; when they deemed it was time to “work for a living” – which was just fine, as I found numerous opportunities to earn the then minimum wage of $3.35 per hour.

| Here we take a look at how, despite calls that the gold bubble is finished, the whole world is still talking about buying gold.
