Once again Asia dictated the direction of gold and silver today. The morning started over $1,280 and held that level to Fix in London at $1,280.25. We repeat that so long as the London Fix dominates the gold market physical demand will overrule all other gold markets. Asia’s buying has nothing to do with anything other than Asian considerations. Ahead of New York, the price climbed two dollars.
What is of note is that the Afternoon Fix is usually lower than the morning Fix. The U.S. is usually present at the p.m. Fix. Over time it is evident that New York usually takes the gold price slightly lower. Later in New York’s day it turns upward. We have no doubt that this picture will change in time as Asia asserts it dominance over gold and silver buying. With the main bullion banks operative in the Fixing, the overwhelming of the less enthusiastic U.S. influence in the gold market will not prove a major hurdle. Most U.S. demand is seen in the activities of the SPDR gold E.T.F., which has been lackluster since the gold price broke upwards.

Gold - Very Short-term
Gold is holding newly conquered ground today, so we expect a positive day for gold.
Who are we? We are a newsletter that helps you to understand gold, its market and its place in the financial world. In addition we have a 95% correct record on the Gold & Silver Prices.
Silver – Very Short-term
Silver too is holding new ground just below $21. Once gold starts to move, then expect silver to move with it. We expect a positive day for silver again.
Gold Price Drivers
We cannot emphasize enough that what we are witnessing in the global economy is the passing of the baton from the U.S. to China. The U.S. financial empire is waning and the Chinese economy is waxing. This will be a painful process with huge amounts of pain and disruption involved. The U.S. will show itself to be unwilling to pass the baton.
The growing confrontation between Japan and China may well be a prelude to a confrontation between the U.S. and China with currencies the focal point. This is gold positive!
