Vince Lanci: The gold carry trade is being unwound at last

Section: Daily Dispatches

11a ET Monday, March 10, 2025

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

In a 21-minute video posted at Gold-Eagle, market analyst Vince Lanci argues that the big recent shipments of gold from London to the United States constitute the unwinding of the gold carry trade begun by the U.S. during the Clinton administration for gold price suppression purposes.

That is, the gold is being put back where it was only pretended to be for decades when it was really being leased, rehypothecated, and sold to protect the ever-inflated U.S. dollar against competition.

If normality returned, how many zeroes would have to be put behind the gold price?

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

What might the price of gold have to be return the United States to a more traditional and sustainable level of debt relative to gross domestic product?

In interview at PDAC, Eric Sprott forces Kitco to mention market manipulation

Section: Daily Dispatches

12:08p ET Wednesday, March 5, 2025

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

In an interview conducted during the PDAC conference in Toronto this week, mining entrepreneur Eric Sprott pushed silver market manipulation onto the Kitco internet site, which long has been suppressing the price-suppression issue. Silver's price has been manipulated for 50 years, Sprott says, and gold and silver mining company shares are very undervalued. He thinks the silver price could exceed $50 soon.

The interview with Sprott is 18 minutes and can be viewed at Kitco here:
