Flash: Gold has dropped over $40 in price since last week’s high.

The gold bug reaction? A collective yawn -- because a $40 loss in gold ain't what it used to be.
 
I remember well, at the bottom of both the metals and miners in 2000, where that would have represented a 15% crash. Even as recently as the beginning of last year, it would have represented a 2% decline, instead of barely over 1% today.

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 Trump administration's plans for sweeping tariffs on imports into the United States prompted the Federal Reserve to begin repatriating its leased and swapped gold but this ran into demand for real metal by central banks and then into demand by investment houses.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

We are so close to victory now. Gold is all over mainstream financial news organizations now even as they strive not to expose the real reasons for the monetary metal's spectacular rise: the collapse of the derivatives-based gold price suppression system.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

Market analyst and financial letter writer Jesse Colombo this week produced an excellent summary of silver price suppression. While nothing about it will be new to those who have followed GATA's work, it is sensational all the same, insofar as it has been posted at Kitco.com, nearly the last monetary metals-oriented news organization to acknowledge the obvious, having long prohibited mention of monetary metals price suppression arising from government policy.
