FOMC, JPMORGAN
The spin never stops. FOMC says that core inflation is RELATIVELY low in recent months and long term inflation expectations remained contained. What garbage! Relative to what? Inflation expectations, what the heck is that? Greenspunspeak is alive and well.JPMorgan mentions everything thats causing the price of gold going up except the DOLLAR. They predict $600.00 by the end of 2006 and maybe even $800.00 as CBs curb their selling of gold. More garbage. Buy gold and don't even try to make sense of any of the offical explanations of anything. White Hills

Ouch! When you buy It, or Silver, TAKE DELIVERY!
http://www.safehaven.com/article-4528.htm
Ssnip:
"Perhaps as far back as 2002, anecdotal evidence suggests that Saudi Arabia bought a significant quantity of physical silver on the LBMA [London Bullion ex-change] - most likely as a means to prudently hedge their significant U.S. dollar exposure/vulnerability. The spike in silver lease rates [see 2002 in chart below] are highly consistent with this assertion.
Rest assured, this spike was a result of a major, strategic and concentrated accumulation of metal in a tight physical market - just as the huge spike in lease rates back in 1998 was perfectly correlated with Warren Buffet's now legendary "massive" physical silver purchase. This categorically means that this particular accumulation was NOT MADE BY a Western Central Bank. Funny thing, due to the size of the accumulation - major players in the trade would necessarily have been aware of what was going on.
Because large quantities of silver are very heavy and cumbersome to ship around the globe - this physical metal was deposited at the Bank of England - in their vaults. Some time afterward, the Saudis requested that this metal be physically "shipped" to them. The Bank of England balked [refused to comply] at this request - because they did not have the metal - it had been leased out - [physically removed from the vault] and subsequently sold again to maintain/continue the active price suppression of silver bullion.
Ed. Note: Has anyone stopped to take stock of how soon thereafter - industry heavyweights Rothschild and AIG exited the precious metals trade, lock stock and barrel?
The Saudis became incensed with this action [epiphanies sometimes have a way of doing this] and "sold the lot" - in effect taking a forced cash settlement and began buying silver again in other jurisdictions where they felt assured of getting delivery of their purchases."
O, SSSO much more at link, precious!

ASIA MARKETS - Singapore leads in mixed Asia trade
By Chris Oliver, MarketWatch - 1/31/06
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) - Asian markets traded mixed Wednesday, following a downbeat performance on Wall Street Tuesday after the Fed raised interest rates a quarter-point and hinted more increases could be on the way."
As levee-busting liquidity rampages around the world claiming victims and invading outlets to calm its fury, world CB'ers mechanically raise rates before their mechanism seizes up completely. One or two more Ben? I dare you. Fannie and Freddie are counting on you. Don't blow it.
"In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 traded flat, declining just 0.05% to 16,641.98. The broad Topix Index of all first section issues was down as much as 0.43% at 1,703.49.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index shrugged off regional loses, gaining as much as 0.29% to 15,753.14 in its first day of trading after the extended Lunar New Year break. Markets in China remain closed for the holiday and will reopen Feb 6. Taiwan's stock and foreign exchange markets are also closed and will reopen Feb 3.
In Seoul, the Kospi Index fell as much as 0.85% to 1,387.99, while in Singapore the Straits Times Index rose as much as 0.61% at 2,426.71.
In Japan annual bank loan rates fell to a record low of 1.356% in the July to December period, as financial institutions slashed lending rates amid intense competition to lure new borrowers. Analysts say the interest rate war is a positive indication the balance sheets of major and regional banks have improved dramatically since the financial crisis of the late 1990s."
I wouldn't say the balance sheets have improved that much. More like a war to "lure" new suckers and keep the bubbles afloat until it's their move.

@ Hoosier Goldbug
"So at what price will all hell break loose in the GOLD market"
I watched for Sinclair's $354 for a long, long time and wondered why 'hell' hadn't broke loose. Wasn't it claimed for so long that most hedged gold was sub-$350. Was it not claimed that the major hedgers has 4 million years of sub 350 gold sold forward and wasn't breaking 354 to be the end of the show? What happened? How did these companies survive?
I'm beginning to think its not a PRICE that will sink the shorts but an EVENT. This Iran thing is getting some serious attention. Mr. Bush scolded Iran (not the people) a couple times in his "State of the Union" address this evening. Gotta wonder how this will play out. Some folks are claiming not too good. Gold will rocket under bad circumstances.
I have a feeling gold might be range bound for a while (a month?) while the market gets a better feel for this Iran situation.
We shall see.

Fed retires 'measured', signals new era
http://yahoo.reuters.com/financeQuoteCompanyNewsArticle.jhtml?duid=mtfh78013_2006-01-31_21-52-12_n313823_newsml
WASHINGTON, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Alan Greenspan was not the only one retired on Tuesday at the Federal Reserve.
"Measured" was also pensioned off from the policy statement as it began a new, less certain era under the chairmanship of Ben Bernanke.
"Measured" went into service in mid-2004 as a clever innovation to reassure financial markets that the U.S. central bank was embarking on a campaign of predictable, quarter-percentage-point rate increases which would not harm growth.
Its omission, at the final meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee under Alan Greenspan, coincides with indications the cycle was near to an end and future policy moves would be less obvious and driven by the economic data.

@Where all hell breaks loose
IM(H)O, small shorts will go out of business, large shorts will get bailed out and feel no pain. The Fed will fight deflation of the money supply at all costs. Expect every event to be met with positive numbers on Wall Street while quietly getting buried (and funded).
Meanwhile, look at the big picture. The entire world banking system is organized in order to keep currencies stable against each other. But, the by product is that gold will emerge as the one and only true global currency. Back in September, the breakout occurred (Graph any currency against gold). This breakout should be the biggest buy signal the world has ever seen! All the while, governments around the world make favorable moves for gold in their systems.
Time is a friend to all that hold physical gold.

Breaking Loose
I no longer think there is a gold price that will result in any sort of unraveling. More likely, gold's price will someday be the indicator of all hell breaking loose rather than the cause of it. This is because years of gold price management has given the banksters time to quietly modify their positions all the while singing the opposite tune. Now that they have had time to reposition, we see gold suddenly getting positive mainstream press. The only possible downside to all of this is that we goldbugs now awake to find ourselves in the company of unanticipated bedfellows.
On a related note: I know there has been lots of discussion here about the difference between gold and silver as a store of value, but despite those differences silver has usually moved in close synch with gold in the market. Therefore I was amused when gold was getting pounded this morning for what I think are obvious reasons (rate day, new Fed chairman, state of the onion speech) while silver just by virtue of *not* being gold held its position nicely. I see this as an indicator of how gold continues to become more political compared to silver.

All Heck may be a moving target
I think there are many corporations (especially those involved with finance, i.e. banks and quasi-baks like GE) are hedged with interest rate and gold derivatives. They have bet that the price of gold will stay low.
I suspect that many of those enterprises are having trouble with their derivatives. I suspect that this imposion makes them "dead men walking". Once credit reporting groups smell trouble, these enterprises could implode (just like Enron).
The price of gold will continue to move upwards. For example, this month the price went up 11%. Think about that 11% in one month. That has got to be a world of pain for some parties. Yet you want more. What do you want to happen?

the best day to buy each month
I intend to buy a small amount of gold and silver each month. I want to set the orders up and let them run. Do the experts here think that a particular time of the month will, on average, be better than any other? I am thinking of buying in the last week of each month as speculators not wanting physical metal close positions and perhaps drive the price down a bit?

Gold to hit $800 says JPMorgan
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060131.wgold0131/BNStory/Business/
January 31, 2006
Globe and Mail Update
JPMorgan Chase & Co. said the price of gold could surge to $800 (U.S.) an ounce in the next two years, as central banks curb their selling of the metal.
The forecast came as gold shot to a 25-year high Tuesday as investors piled into the precious metal as a refuge from escalating concerns over Iran's nuclear program. The JPMorgan analysts said gold will rise to $600 an ounce by the end of 2006.
The JPMorgan team cited falling supplies, strong demand from India, the deregulation of China's gold market, market uncertainty in the wake of the retirement of long-time U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, a gold market that has room to grow and the risk of a terrorist attack, among others, as factors that will keep gold prices elevated.
Chinese demand could spike this year as the number of weddings are likely to "rise significantly in the lucky year of the dog" that began on January 29, 2006, the report said.
...Iran and the European Union are scheduled to resume talks on the nuclear program in Brussels today.
The Fed, meanwhile, raised its key interest-rate target by another a quarter basis point to 4.5 per cent on Tuesday, its 14th straight increase. It is was expected to be one of the last U.S. interest rate hikes, a move that could undermine the greenback and make gold priced in U.S. dollars even more attractive to overseas buyers.

TUESDAY Market Excerpts
Gold up 11% on month
January 31 (from MarketWatch) -- Gold futures closed above $575 Tuesday at a fresh 25-year high, ending the month 11% higher. Political uncertainties, particularly Iran's recently resume nuclear-research program, combined with strong overall demand to provide a lift.
COMEX April gold contracts traded as high as $577.30 during the regular session of the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest futures level since January 1981.
The contract settled up $4.50 at $575.10. But prices inched lower in after-hours electronic trading following the Federal Open Market Committee's decision to raise the benchmark federal funds target rate by a quarter-percentage point to 4.50% -- the highest level since mid-May 2001.
Gold continued to find support during Tuesday's session from a backdrop of political uncertainties. Overnight, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China all agreed that the Security Council in March should consider Iran's situation, which could result in punitive action.
Russia surprisingly backed the move after long resisting a referral, though it's unclear whether Russia would back Security Council sanctions against Iran.
The Tehran government said a referral would mean the end of any attempt to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
Oil-rich Iran has consistently denied claims that it's aiming to create nuclear weapons, arguing that its research is solely aimed at generating energy for civilian purposes.
Looking ahead, "the longer-term fundamentals are supportive for gold, given forecasts for strong demand from the major emerging economies together with constrained output levels," said economists at Action Economics.

In 2002, then-Fed Governor Benjamin Bernanke burst into our monetary consciousness with his printing press speech. His fine work earned him the honorary title "helicopter commander."

FOMC Statement -- quarter point hike
http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/press/monetary/2006/20060131/default.htm
PRESS RELEASE: January 31, 2006
The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to raise its target for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 4-1/2 percent.
Although recent economic data have been uneven, the expansion in economic activity appears solid. Core inflation has stayed relatively low in recent months and longer-term inflation expectations remain contained. Nevertheless, possible increases in resource utilization as well as elevated energy prices have the potential to add to inflation pressures.
The Committee judges that some further policy firming may be needed to keep the risks to the attainment of both sustainable economic growth and price stability roughly in balance. In any event, the Committee will respond to changes in economic prospects as needed to foster these objectives.
Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Alan Greenspan, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman; Susan S. Bies; Roger W. Ferguson, Jr.; Jack Guynn; Donald L. Kohn; Jeffrey M. Lacker; Mark W. Olson; Sandra Pianalto; and Janet L. Yellen.
In a related action, the Board of Governors unanimously approved a 25-basis-point increase in the discount rate to 5-1/2 percent. In taking this action, the Board approved the requests submitted by the Boards of Directors of the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco.

Russia's Gold Ore - @Smeagol
>A nuclear power that can't refine their own gold?
>We wonders how and why the quesstion could even come up!?!
This is very interesting.
Obviously, they do have the ability to refine their own gold.
My guess is this:
Russia likely has certain restrictions on the exportation of gold bullion. Some global corporation probably hatched a scheme to get around those restrictions by relieving Russia of their gold ore rather than their bullion. And Putin is putting a stop to it, just as he did when a US oil company tried to relieve them of some of their oil in that attempted deal with Khordokovsky (who is now in prison in Russia).

Myths of the Greenspan Era
http://www.thestreet.com/pf/markets/economics/10265345.html
By Barry Ritholtz
1/31/2006 -- The 18-plus-year tenure of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan finally comes to an end today. The buildup to his retirement has become the largest love-fest since Woodstock.
...One has to wonder why so many acolytes believe you can get something for nothing. Yet much of Greenspan's aura and the myth-making surrounding it is based on the theory of the free lunch: easy money, and lots of it, via low rates, lots of money supply.
Yet I recall the very first lesson in economics: "There is no free lunch." That simple truism seems to have escaped much of the Greenspan fan club. There are costs associated with such accommodations, ones that have yet to be paid for.

NY gold hits new 25-year high, Greenspan stepping down
http://yahoo.reuters.com/financeQuoteCompanyNewsArticle.jhtml?duid=mtfh68469_2006-01-31_15-53-43_n31389804_newsml
NEW YORK, Jan 31 (Reuters) - New York precious metals prices soared on investor buying on Tuesday, with gold scaling a new 25-year peak, silver hitting a 22-year high and platinum reaching a 26-year high in yet another fund-led rally.
Overall bullishness on the metals for 2006 and jitters in currency markets before Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan retires this week helped hoist prices into new terrain...
... investors from Japan to the Middle East to North America have been building up long positions in the metals.
Key factors boosting prices are "safe-haven" buying amid worries about Middle East geopolitics, uncertainty about the U.S. dollar, jitters over high energy prices, and continued diversification into commodities by investors, markets sources said.
Also supporting gold was the dollar's broad fall amid jitters over monetary policy after Ben Bernanke takes over the Fed's helm from Greenspan this week.

Are you goldless, paralyzed on the sidelines?
Those who bought gold at $300 also bought at $400, at $500, they are buying now, and these are the same folks who will still be naturally ridding themselves of newly-acquired surplus dollars for the better safety of gold metal at $2,000. There will surely be a large number who remain sidelined, however, thinking at every step higher that they've missed the boat.
What those dry-docked sideliners need to realize is that this thing is NOT a boat that's going to make round trips like a ferry. Instead, it is straining at the moorings to simply head forever further and further out to sea, and your ticket to ride is to come to the simple realization that the issue at hand must be understood within the context of social reality and cashflow.
The social reality is that national currency as managed by a tag-team of politicians and professional monetary authorities is destined to travel its one-way fate of depreciation.
The cashflow reality is that you (along with everyone else) work the days of your life trying to ensure that your income stream equals or exceeds your payments/obligations stream, any surplus of dollars will be at risk of loss given the aforementioned social reality.
Thus, the act of buying gold at any progessively higher point along its price evolution is to be seen as naturally as choosing a good (solid gold) form of savings instead of a perennially bad (paper) one.
Bottom line: Asses your dodgy surplus dollars, get your solid metal holdings started (and growing) and set sail with this simple, globally universal routine the loooooong ride.

Unacceptable to have gold ore processed abroad - Putin
http://www.interfax.ru/e/B/0/28.html?id_issue=11457049
Interfax reported today that at a Kremlin press office Russian President Vladimir Putin said, "There are things that I consider to be unacceptable for us, and shipping gold ore abroad to be processed is one of them. We see neither taxes nor gold here. This can't happen."
The part I particularly like is the comment that suggests having gold abroad on the general basis of TRUST is unacceptable....
"We see neither taxes nor gold here."
Think deep about the suggestion that this message is sending to all official holders of gold.
"""""We will not trust having OUR gold ore abroad in the control of others. For similar reasons, neither should any of us trust having our refined central bank gold reserves abroad and under the control of others."""""
To lay preliminary brushstrokes of wider applicability, think how this meshes philosophically with the (im)prudence of such things as gold accounts (whether allocated or unallocated), gold leasing, and the premise of 'gold receivables'...
One would be led to think that such things are equally "unacceptable", that they are not "as good as gold (in hand)", and that such practices out of prudence should be reined in.
"We see... no[...] gold here. This can't happen."
To be sure, in light of Russia's recent talk of lowering VAT on gold, Putin's remarks here about taxes should be taken as pertaining primarily to taxation through the refining process.
This is another step in the right direction toward 'freegold' -- an emphasis upon physical gold under one's own irrefutable ownership and control. A logical related implication is that 'receivables' in the form of paper gold simply do not measure up at par with gold metal, and they should therefore not be involved in the market's price discovery process for the metal.
