Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Bullion Star gold market analyst Ronan Manly reveals tonight that most of the record gold buying by central banks that was reported this week by the World Gold Council cannot be documented or even reliably attributed.

The eurozone credit crunch has begun in earnest. Lending conditions across the currency bloc are the tightest since late 2012, when the region was still crippled by the sovereign debt crisis.

The European Central Bank's lending survey is a leading indicator of what is to come. Both the supply and demand for credit definitively buckled in the third quarter, even if the eurozone economy eked out a last gasp of legacy growth. Lending is deteriorating most rapidly in Italy and Spain.
