    China’s Gold Imports From Hong Kong Increase on Import Quotas
    By Bloomberg Newsmaart 25, 2014 6:24 AM

    China’s gold imports from Hong Kong rose in February amid increasing demand and as the country allowed more banks to import the precious metal.Net imports totaled 109.2 metric tons last month, compared with 83.6 tons in January and 60.9 tons a year earlier, according to calculations by Bloomberg News based on data from the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department today. Exports to Hong Kong from China fell to 15.8 tons in February from 19 tons in January, the Statistics Department said in a separate statement. Mainland China doesn’t publish such data.Bullion is up 9.1 percent in 2014 on rising consumption in Asia and as emerging-market turmoil and signs the U.S. recovery may be faltering boost haven demand. China overtook India as the largest user last year as the biggest price drop in more than three decades spurred purchases, the World Gold Council said last month. China granted licenses for importing gold to Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., HSBC Holdings Plc and China Everbright Bank Co., Reuters reported in January.

    Another Curious (And Pretty Bullish) Inflow For The Gold ETF
    Mar. 25, 2014 9:48 AM ET

    - A surprising 4.5 tonnes was added to the GLD trust yesterday as prices tumbled.

    - This behavior is very uncharacteristic of U.S. investors who, last year, sold when prices fell.

    - This could signal a major change in how U.S. investors think about gold as an investment.

    Forgive me for paying too much attention to the tonnes of gold that are now moving mostly into, rather than out of, the trust for the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD), but this could be a very important story this year.

    It certainly was last year as one analyst after another concluded that the price of the metal wouldn't be able to find a bottom until U.S. investors stopped selling.

    That's about all U.S. investors did last year as more than 500 tonnes of gold exited the trust.

    The gold price fell, more Westerners sold gold, this exacerbated the price decline causing even more shares of GLD to be sold and the holdings of the GLD trust fell further.

    On several occasions last year, the gold price mounted a rally and, toward the end of the rally, some new buying interest emerged.

    There were some rather large additions at around the same time that prices peaked, but, once the price reversed course, investors sold their GLD shares like they were hot potatoes.

    Well, that's not happening this year.

    U.S. investors continue to buy this latest gold price dip that has now extended more than a week, something that hasn't been seen in quite some time as indicated below.

    Gold demand surge in China
    BY PAUL PLOUMIS
    March 26, 2014

    China’s Gold import from Hong Kong was reported to surge in February after more banks were permitted to import gold by the government amid the increasing demand for gold, the Chinese government gave authorized permission for more banks to carry out import of precious metals because of which Gold import in the country climbed a record high last month and is expected to continue.

    According to expert analyst report, net import of China in February reached a total of 109.2 mt when compared to the 83.6 mt in January a year ago. The estimate from Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department yesterday released the information that China’s export to Hong Kong was found to suffer a decline by 15.8 tons in February which stood at 19 tons in January. As per the data compiled by the Statistics Department in a separate statement, the bullion price is rising 9.1 % this year owing to the increasing consumption of gold in Asia. The factors such as the weakening market and the speculations of US recovery is said to be influencing the haven demand of Gold in Asian countries.

    India which was the largest consumer of gold in the world was dragged down to the second position by China in 2014 after the stringent rules and regulations in India which declined its gold import considerably. China had issued gold importing licenses to Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., China Everbright Bank Co. and HSBC Holdings Plc in January which reflected largely in the country’s gold import ratio.

    According to a partner at Shanghai-based Investment Management Company, Chinese imports and sales saw an upsurge during the Lunar New Year in 2014 when the demand for gold inventories increased at record-breaking levels. Gold import was also strengthened by demand from traders who used bullion purchases in trade financing deals to acquire immediate bank credit.

    World Gold Council report shows that the Chinese consumption reached a record of 1,066 tons last year as the gold demand in the form of coins, bars and jewelry climbed 32% in February. Gold holdings in ETF also mounted 6.9% in February; indicating first time increase in 14 months. Data from Hong Kong showed that the mainland Chinese buyers reached a total of 125 tons in February as compared to 102.6 tons in January.

    Japan buyers rush to snap up gold as tax rise looms
    By Ben McLannahan in Tokyo

    Japan’s imminent tax increase is hastening a rush for gold ingots as investors seek short-term profits in a market buoyed by rising inflation.
    Purchases of gold are subject to consumption taxes, which are due to go up from 5 per cent to 8 per cent on April 1, in the first increase in 17 years. Some speculators are aiming to lock in 3 percentage points of profit by buying from dealers now and then selling the gold back once the higher rate kicks in.

    On Thursday in Tokyo’s chic Ginza district, customers at Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry, a precious-metals specialist, queued for up to three hours to buy 500g ingots worth about Y2.3m ($22,500). Sales of ingots across the company’s seven directly run stores are up 530 per cent this month compared with last year, said a spokesperson, and will mark a record in Tanaka’s 120-year history.
    Demand among “very price-sensitive” bullion buyers has been stoked by a 6 per cent fall in prices since the middle of the month, said Yuichi “Bruce” Ikemizu, head of commodities trading at Standard Bank in Tokyo.
    But he noted that the market has been firm for a while, as the yen’s decline under Abenomics – Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s policy to reflate Japan’s economy – and looming inflation have driven more and more people to seek refuge in gold.
    The Fruit of Gold ETF managed by Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, for example, which is the country’s most popular bullion-backed investment vehicle, saw its assets rise from 5.6 tonnes, when Mr Abe assumed power in December 2012, to 6.9 tonnes now – even as the US dollar price of gold fell by more than a fifth over that period.
    Individual investors in the fund numbered 15,243 in mid-January, a sharp increase from 9,849 a year earlier, said general manager Osamu Hoshi.
    Meanwhile, an executive at the Tokyo Commodity Exchange said physical deliveries of gold rose to the highest levels since 2007 both in February and in December. Tocom also recorded “significant” delivery increases before the introduction of the consumption tax in 1989, and when the levy was raised from 3 per cent to 5 per cent in 1997.

    Investors are being drawn to the yellow metal not just because of higher taxes, said Itsuo Toshima, an adviser to pension funds, who noted that brokers’ commissions of between 2 and 2.5 per cent on physical gold purchases would erode a lot of the theoretical tax-arbitrage opportunity.
    “Slowly and steadily, people are preparing for the worst, which is the failure of Abenomics,” said Mr Toshima, a former regional director for the World Gold Council.
    “To protect the value of wealth, gold comes into play as an inflation hedge, and if the economy goes back to deflationary circumstances then, again, money seeking safe havens would flow into gold.”
    At Tanaka’s third-floor store in Ginza, one 33-year trader at a foreign-owned brokerage, who did not want to be named, said the tax increase represented a “good opportunity” to buy more gold as he was worried about holding too many yen-denominated assets.
    “I plan to hold it for a long time until there is a good time to sell when the yen collapses or something,” he said.

    Russia
    Complex Ties: Russia's Armed Forces Depend On Ukraine's Military Industry

    It is an ironic fact that much of the equipment used by the Russian troops in Crimea, and those maneuvering on Ukraine's border, is produced by Kyiv's military industry.

    The equipment includes the motors that keep all of Russia's combat helicopters flying and many of the engines that power Russian naval ships. It also includes about half of the air-to-air missiles carried by Russian fighter planes.

    But the sight of Ukrainian-produced hardware now pointed belligerently at Kyiv is not simply incongruous. It also underlines how much Russia's military risks shooting itself in the foot if rising tensions cause the two countries to break ties. Conversely, it could also lead Russia to seek to control Ukraine regardless of the costs.

    In a recent article, RFE/RL Russian Service's military correspondent Vladimir Voronov argues that severing ties with Ukraine would have a far more dramatic impact on Russia's defense program than any Western sanctions restricting sales of Western military hardware.

    Voronov notes that the two countries' military industrial complexes are so integrated that any end to cooperation with Ukraine would seriously jeopardize the Russian army's ambitious modernization program.
    .....
    Still, the very tightness of the military industrial partnership between Russia and Ukraine makes it an unpredictable factor in the current crisis.

    The desire of both sides to maintain their military trade could help put a brake on escalating tensions. Conversely, the danger of losing it could add fuel to Moscow's desire to have a loyal government in Kyiv, no matter the price.

    COMEX Commercial Traders Covering Gold Shorts in a Hurry

    Data supplied by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Friday, March 28, show that large commercial traders on the COMEX covered or offset 32,293 contracts of their net short positioning in one week - a very large number. That was as gold traded $44.69 or 3.3% lower to $1,310.81 for the Tuesday to Tuesday COT reporting week.

    (Chart showing NET futures positions by traders the CFTC classes as Producers, Merchants, Processors and Users. Source: CFTC for COT data, Cash Market for gold, GGR. Note: The Producer/Merchants (PM) are nearly always net short because they are primarily using futures to hedge. On this graph as the blue line rises the PM net short position is getting smaller and vice versa.)

    The Producer/Merchants include the largest bullion dealers, refiners, manufacturers, fabricators, jewelry makers and the bullion trading banks they end up trading through on the New York and London bourses. In short, PM’s include much of the “gold trade” who use futures to hedge.

    This week’s huge reduction in commercial traders net short positioning almost equals a March 6, 2012 reduction of 32,677 lots when gold was then trading for $1675. The previous example of an extremely large reduction occurred in August of 2008, during the heat of the financial crisis, when the PMs closed or offset a whopping 42,638 contracts with gold then $813.

    As for what it means, we can point to the fact that it is really pretty rare to see the Producer/Merchants reducing their hedges in anomalously high amounts. We can check that notion through one half of the reporting – the gross short interest held by the Producer/Merchants which is shown in the graph below.

    Is China's Gold Demand Falling?
    Mar 31, 2014 03:27PM GMT

    Probably Not
    Media reports that Chinese gold demand may be slipping abound, but so far this year, although Chinese demand may currently be down a little it is holding up overall at historically high levels.
    We see a number of headlines out there suggesting that Chinese gold demand is slipping with the implied suggestion that with the heavy buying levels seen in 2013 falling away the gold price will suffer accordingly. But the figures to date defy the gold-gloom merchants with withdrawals out of the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) in the first 12 weeks of the year close to total world new mined gold production from outside China itself. For the 12 week period these sales have totalled 532 tonnes suggesting an annual total of 2,305 tonnes should this level of sales continue throughout the year (and the first couple of months are historically weak ones for Chinese gold demand). Add to this China’s own gold production of around 430 tonnes we come up with 2,735 tonnes which is close to current estimates of total world new mined gold output – but assumes China’s own gold production is not routed through the SGE which we believe to be the case. While SGE sales over the past three to four weeks have indeed slipped back from those seen right at the beginning of the year, they are still running at historically high levels and while March figures are not expected to match last year’s massive sales record, overall first quarter Chinese gold import figures for 2014 will definitely be substantially in excess of those of a year earlier.

    Goud doet het nog even waardeloos als vorige maand in euro's zelfs weer dik naar beneden ik hou mijn shorts nog lekker even vast ik denk dat het nog veel meer naar beneden gaat. Dit zegt mijn gevoel ondanks die stukken van BB, die ik overigens met veel plezier lees, komt ervan een stijging nog niks terecht. Ja wanneer over 1 maand?? 1 jaar, 10 jaar, 100 jaar wie het weet mag het zeggen. Ik beleg op gevoel en niet op basis van het lezen van stukjes van mensen die denken dat ze het weten, als ik naar zulke mensen had geluisterd was ik allang failliet geweest. Toch voel ik dat goud op de lange termijn toch de beste belegging is.

    PRECIOUS-Gold slips ahead of US jobs data; on track for 3rd weekly loss
    Thu Apr 3, 2014 8:40pm EDT

    SINGAPORE, April 4 (Reuters) - Gold edged lower on Friday as
    the market nervously awaited U.S. nonfarm payrolls data, even as
    the metal headed for a third straight week of losses amid
    better-performing equities and growing optimism about the U.S.
    economy.

    FUNDAMENTALS
    * Spot gold slipped 0.2 percent to $1,284.90 an ounce
    by 0021 GMT.
    * The metal is down 0.7 percent for the week, though it has
    recovered a little after having hit a seven-week low on Tuesday.
    * Investors in gold, which is often seen as a hedge against
    economic uncertainty, are eyeing the U.S. jobs report later on
    Friday to gauge the strength of the economy and any potential
    impact on the Federal Reserve's stimulus measures.
    * A weak report could boost gold's appeal as a safe-haven,
    while a strong report could prompt speculation that the Fed
    could lift rates earlier than previously expected.
    .....
    www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/04/ma...

    Ze zetten de goudprijs alvast hoger om de eventuele daling door de Jobs Data (14:30 uur) op te vangen.
    Goudprijs is al 2 weken negatief gesloten. Een derde negatieve week is zeer slecht voor het vertrouwen. Steeds meer investeerders denken dat de goud rally vals is.

    Maar ik denk nog steeds dat de goudprijs in april boven $1500 zal stijgen.
