| London Gold Market ReportGOLD drifted to a one-week low below $1380 an ounce Tuesday morning, as silver dipped below $21.80 an ounce, with stocks and commodities broadly flat on the day ahead of tomorrow's US Federal Reserve decision, with analysts speculating on whether the Fed will give details of when and how it might slow down its quantitative easing program."The outlook for the gold price remains negative from a technical perspective," says Karen Jones, head of FICC technical analysis at CoTuesday, June 18, 2013 |

| Suffering Gold |
| Gold continues to suffer under a cloud of bearish expectations. Its price has been trending lower for some 20 months now - and, at recent lows, it is off some 30 percent from the September 2011 all-time high of $1924.
A growing number of investors, analysts, and journalists are already writing obituaries for the decade-long bull market and foresee only a grim future for the yellow metal. These naysayers, most prominently economist Nouriel Roubini who gained some renown for predicting the finanTuesday, June 18, 2013 |

| Market Calls Fed's Bluff |
| The Fed has recently expressed a desire to begin winding down its Quantitative
Easing program in the next few months. This would be the first step towards
the eventual raising of interest rates. Mr. Bernanke and the other members
of our central bank believe the normalization of interest rates would occur
within the context of robust markets and rising GDP growth.
However, it seems the Fed has only succeeded in duping some perennial bulls

| Jay Taylor: In Precious Metals, Cash Flow Is King |
| The Gold Report: Many believe that the price of gold represents a market referendum on the value of paper money and the health of the world economy. Do you agree?
Jay Taylor: Yes, I do. Gold rose from the mid-$200s/ounce (mid-$200/oz) in 2002 to as high as $1,900/oz. That clearly suggests that things are not all right in the global economy. Politicians like to create the illusion that they can create something out of nothing and give it to people in exchange for votes. Gold gets in the way of tMonday, June 17, 2013 |

| The Biggest Risk Is The One That Was Not Perceived To Exist |

to commit all manner of transgressions, seeing that the fruit which
injustice yields is soon ripe, and offers itself easily to the

| 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

| The Economic Recovery’s ‘Elephant in the Room’ |
| Well, that’s two straight Tuesdays that U.S. stocks have fallen. Has Wall Street finally noticed that the real estate sector – the only big winner in American’s sham “recovery” besides the stock market itself – is starting to deteriorate? Hard to say, although lately we’ve had our doubts that yield-crazed U.S. investors would lose a beat even if an epidemic were to wipe out half of the world’s population. They barely flinched a couple of weeks ago when Japan’s stock market was freefalling. And Thursday, June 13, 2013 |

| In your latest newsletter, you advocate that gold investors pay close attention to the Federal Reserve meeting taking place on June 18. What are you looking for out of that meeting?
Brien Lundin: The main driver for gold right now is quantitative easing (QE). An investor trying to figure out where the gold market is heading in the near to intermediate term needs to focus on QE. Investors should look for clues to the future prospects of the Fed's QE program?that's what's going tThursday, June 13, 2013 |

| Dollar At Risk? Case for Managing Currency Risk |
| The "cleanest" dirty shirt, the U.S. dollar, is down versus the euro so far this year; and was down last year. Yet, S&P, in upgrading the credit outlook of the U.S., cites U.S. dollar strength. If this is a strong dollar environment, are investors prepared for a weak one? With plenty of dirty laundry in the world, we ponder how investors might be able to profit from actively managing currency risk. Not managing currency risk may be risky.
