Just a matter of time.LBMA, LPMCL and the use of fractional banking techniques and derivatives in the gold market. It is well known that most of physical gold is being stored in the vaults of LBMA member banks. The institution which says so is the LPMCL (London Precious Metals Clearing Limited) which is, surprise surprise, owned by those same banks which are members of LBMA. It has been said numerous times in the past, and most recently by GATA board member Adrian Douglas, what is the true structure of gold market and that the contracts being traded are not contracts based on physical gold, but at best primary miner-LBMA forwards [rarely futures], and most often bars with multiple CUSIPs assigned to them. Basically most of the daily volume and value being traded on the gold market compromises of derivatives and second derivatives [second derivative being either put or call on a forward contract or futures contract on a forward].
What is even more believable when we are talking about the manipulation in the gold market is that the same treatment which is being applied to physical bullion [assigning multiple CUSIPs to same gold bars [by LPMCL]] is also applied towards primary miner-LBMA forward contracts. If we use a conservative estimate of minimal reserves and say it is 10% that would mean that one primary miner-LBMA forward for 1000 ounces, can create, out of thin air, 100 000 ounces of new gold, without any physical gold actually being mined or traded in the market.Think about what 100 000 ounces of new gold hitting the market would do to its price. Something like this maybe [actually i dont believe such a large quantity ever hit the market in just one infusion]:
There you go ladies and gentleman; the undeniable truth about the suppression of gold price using the same methods and instruments that are being used when it comes to banking, currency and OTC derivatives market. I will follow this with a more detailed expose on LBMA, LPMCL, GLD SPDR ETF, derivatives and structure of the market. Since this topic abounds with vast pool of information; each of the aforementioned structures will be introduced separately in the upcoming posts about the world of Gold. Trade safely and always demand delivery.
