Zero Hedge: Gold GOFO rates turn negative for first time since Lehman

Section: Daily Dispatches

8:22a ET Tuesday, July 9, 2013

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Zero Hedge offers evidence of unusual strain in the gold market, the most strain in five years. Zero Hedge speculates that the strain may arise from:

"-- An ETF-induced repricing of paper and physical gold.

"-- Ongoing deliverable concerns and/or shortages involving one (JPM) or more Comex gold members.

"-- Liquidations in the paper gold market.

"-- A shortage of physical gold for a non-bullion bank market participant.

"-- A major fund unwinding a futures pair trade involving at least one gold leasing leg.

"-- An ongoing bullion bank failure with or without an associated allocated gold bank "run."

"-- All of the above."

Zero Hedge's commentary is headlined "A Historic Inversion: Gold GOFO Rates Turn Negative for the First Time Since Lehman" and it's posted here:
