Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

On this week's edition of Kinesis Money's "Live from the Vault" program, London metals trader Andrew Maguire says the London market is losing control of the silver price to China, which is limiting silver exports. 

London has virtually no physical silver for immediate delivery, Maguire says, and the short squeeze there has begun.

The program is 43 minutes long and can be viewed at YouTube here:

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Today's Financial Times publishes in its "Alphaville" section a commentary by its writer Toby Nangle calling attention to the dodginess of data offered about central bank gold reserves. The commentary is sarcastically headlined, "Central Banks Have Been Buying a Squillion Tonnes of Gold, Promise":

ROME -- Italy, whose sovereign assets from bonds to banks have so often been the subject of market crises in recent years, is currently enjoying a windfall as the central bank's vast gold reserves track record-high prices.

With the U.S. banks closed on Monday, and with the Canadian markets also closed for Thanksgiving, the Comex futures price for silver reached over $50 for the first time in history.
