Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Market analyst Gene Arensberg, whose "Got Gold Report" now appears in Brien Lundin's Gold Newsletter (http://www.GoldNewsletter.com/ [1]), has reviewed the latest gold and silver market data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission from a trading standpoint and observes that the largest traders are positioning themselves for a fall in gold but not so much for a fall in silver. An abbreviated version of Arensberg's analysis has been posted at Stockhouse under the headline "Big Banks Dominate Comex Gold, Silver" and you can find it here:
