Alasdair Macleod: The new London gold fix and China

Section: Daily Dispatches

2:29p ET Friday, March 6, 2015

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

As of March 20, when the London daily gold price fixing is democratized a little with the participation of Chinese banks and made more transparent, China will be in a position to control the price of the monetary metal, GoldMoney research director Alasdair Macleod writes today.

"What is truly amazing," Macleod writes, "is that the Western economic and political establishments have dismissed the importance of gold and ignored all the warning signals. They do not seem to realize the power they have given China and Russia to create financial chaos by simply hiking the gold price. If they do, which seems to be only a matter of time, then London's fractional-reserve system of unallocated gold accounts would simply collapse, leaving Shanghai as the only major physical market."

Macleod's commentary is headlined "The New London Gold Fix and China" and it's posted at GoldMoney here:

Direct Ownership and Storage of Precious Metals
Outside the Banking System in Zurich and Singapore

Goldbroker.com is a precious metals investment company that enables investors to own and store gold directly in their own name (no mutualized ownership) in Zurich and Singapore.

Goldbroker's clients are not exposed to any counterparty risks. They own gold and silver in their own names (the ownership certificate cites the name of the investor and serial number of his bars) and they have storage accounts opened in their own name as well. So Goldbroker.com's storage partner knows the exact identity of each investor. Goldbroker.com doesn't store in the name of its clients; rather, Goldbroker's clients store personally. All investors have direct access to their gold and silver bars.

Goldbroker.com was launched in 2011 so that investors would avoid any counterparty risk when investing in physical gold and silver.

Goldbroker.com is listed among GATA's recommended monetary metals dealers. (http://www.gata.org/node/173)
