Market Analysis
When the Reserve Bank of India and the government tried to staunch gold imports by increasing duties and limiting supply in order to help their western central bank counterparts, who were deeply embarrassed by their inability to return Germany's gold, the experiment in currency controls had the effect of making the premiums paid for actual gold jump to 21.6% over western paper 'spot' prices.
What good is a 'spot price' for gold if it is just a construct derived from the paper gold price on the increasingly gold deficient Comex, and not from a physically transacting market? And what good is a price set on a so-called physically transacting market like the LBMA if it is done in secret, with leverages said to be approaching 100 to 1?
Recent revelations about the manipulation of price benchmarks, from LIBOR to derivatives to basic commodities, seem to have knocked the efficient market hypothesis into a cocked hat, which is where it always belonged, if the dustbin was full. Markets are naturally efficient to the extent that men act naturally like angels.
Here is an interview that
Tekoa da Silva recently conducted with an Indian gold dealer
about the future of demand for physical gold in India, which he believes will be strong, and more importantly, why.
Let's see, if one region of the world is willing to pay, for substantial amounts,
a 21% premium for a physical commodity
that is easily transportable, what might an astute economist predict would happen?
The 'average person' might expect them to predict a substantial flow of that commodity from west to east. And that does seem to be the case if one looks at the data which is available.
Gold Seen Flowing East As Refiners Recast Bars For Asia.
These days, however, far too many economists, analysts and pundits see what they have been told to see, by whomever is paying them. Academia, politics, and the media are not naturally efficient, for the same reasons as markets. And so they must be checked, and balanced. Those who seek power are rare angels.
Is it any surprise that in a culture that glorifies personal greed and the arrogance of power, virtue is in scarcity and deceit becomes routine? Bad behaviour drives out the good.
India is not an isolated example. The situation is simply worse there for the moment because some Indian officials are historically compliant to Anglo-American interests. But China, Russia, Latin America, and the Mideast are increasingly less complacent to be so ill-used these days.
Change is happening. And there may be some significant volatility associated with this historic difference of objectives and opinions about what value is, and how and by whom it is set.
