Precious metal deficit detected in the USA amid avalanche-like demand for gold

118

A major American edition of The Wall Street Journal publishes an article that talks about the situation with stocks of precious metals in the United States. In the material, journalists note that the banking sector and investors are faced with a shortage of so-called "liquid" gold in the United States. We are talking about gold bars and gold coins, which are usually offered for sale and purchase transactions by banks.

WSJ writes that the shortage of gold was revealed against the backdrop of an avalanche-like demand for this precious metal. Over the past few days, banks have bought up the main stocks of "liquid" gold, as a result of which dealers simply began to interrupt their activities.



The material reported that against the background of the lack of proposals for the sale of gold in the United States, demand has shifted to neighboring Canada, which received statements about the need to increase the production of gold bars for the banking sector.

Meanwhile, the price of gold in the world continues to update long-term records. Since March 22 alone, the price of this precious metal has jumped by 9%. The troy ounce is currently trading at $1630. At the same time, a few hours earlier, the price was approaching $1650. This is a record high since 2013.

The demand for gold in the United States was associated with an increase in pandemic indicators. In terms of the number of detected infected, the States came out on top in the world and significantly broke away from other countries, including Italy and China. At the beginning of the day, about 105 thousand people were detected infected in the United States, with a fatality of 1704 people and the number of recovered 2359.

                If they had everything in Fort Knox, as they officially say, there would be no shortage.

                There is, of course, some amount of gold, but mostly gold-plated tungsten ingots are stored under the guise of gold.

                Since several scandals erupted in the 90s of the last century, when several such bars that passed through the Americans were discovered by the Chinese and Swiss, the Americans have delayed any new issue by at least a couple of weeks - that is, if there is a chance that the bars check, then cast them again, apply stamps, as if they were made a long time ago, and artificially age them.
                So it turns out that officially they have tens of thousands of tons. In fact, hundreds of times less.

                And the most interesting - WHERE WAS THAT THAT GOT THERE?

              You have already experienced this in the Soviet Union, where everything from gold coins and above was backed by gold and other valuables of the State Bank of the USSR. So the second time you will not be able to live up to this - now not a single country in the world will ever allow its currency to be tied to gold, if only because the United States already got burned on this back in the seventies, and no one is going to repeat their experience.

As a result, the dollar is not backed not only by gold, but by nothing at all. The dollar mass that exists today exceeds all the material values ​​accumulated by mankind several times.

                  This is not only about gold, but also other assets, which in some small countries (for example Switzerland) can be such that it will be possible to have a backing of the currency with gold and other valuables. But no one agrees to this - it's easier to avoid responsibility in case of crises.

                  The US Federal Reserve prints, and even then after they have government treasury bills, as far as I know. Banks can't force the Fed to print dollars - only the US government can do that. However, experts say that it's not even the printing of money itself, but the issuance of loans unsecured by the state, which made it possible to inflate the American bubble, which led to a huge budget deficit. Of course, this is an overly simplified version of my understanding of the situation, I think that experts will explain more reasonably what is really happening.

                      And the Fed can print money in a very original way. Last year, she bought 250 billion worth of shale oil bad debts from banks. Banks gave loans for drilling, but flew by. And then the Fed gives them money, just enough for the banks to sleep peacefully. And shale workers are lafa, because they pump oil from free, in fact, wells. Here, even 20 ye per barrel can be endured ...

                        The position is purely nominal, and does not have the right to decide something. Everything is decided by the heads of families, the owners of the banks of the founders of the Fed. And on the question of what and how is going on in the US banking system, then you really need to be a specialist. In addition, to have access to information that is usually hidden. One thing is clear, everything they (banks and the Fed) do is in no way consistent with the needs of ordinary people. And not only in the world, but also in the United States itself.

        The largest gold vault in the US is located at Fort Knox, but not all gold is stored there...
        a mint located in Denver, where about 1400 tons of metal are stored;
        Cash vault at West Point, where there is another share of the capital - approximately 1700 tons;
        400 tons of ingots are located in the underground pantries of the FRB located in the Manhattan area;
        well, at the most mysterious and top-secret facility built during the war, Fort Knox, the lion's share of the gold reserve is stored in the amount of 4603 tons of precious metal.

        Quote: ROSS 42
        Or are the ears already stored there from the “dead donkey and elephant”?

        It is not possible to find out how much gold is actually contained in American vaults, since all data is kept secret. An audit that could show the real amount of gold was last carried out in post-war times. At the present time, the Americans themselves are doing their best to prevent such an audit.

        The existence of a real gold reserve in the bins of America is increasingly being questioned. The situation that happened with the German gold contained in America was one of the factors proving the absence of gold in Fort Knox, as well as in the vault located in the Manhattan area.

        Initially, the American authorities took all necessary measures to delay negotiations on the issuance of gold reserves belonging to Germany. Subsequently, within a year, they nevertheless returned a small part of the gold, but without letting a single representative of the country into the vault.

        The denouement of the whole epic was unexpected for all participants: Germany suddenly abandons its goal of exporting gold, and declares publicly that it trusts the American authorities, and the process of exporting the gold and foreign exchange reserves turned out to be a costly affair.

        The actions of America and Germany proved that the actual presence of bullion in the vaults is doubtful. Another argument pointing to the lack of gold reserves was an event that went beyond human understanding, namely, the gold bars that America returned to Germany turned out to be completely different from those that Germany gave away for safekeeping.

        In second place - Germany -3 tons, then Italy, France, Russia - with 2,3 t.

        It seems that there is only wool from the "ears". The last one who snatched from them part of his own was de Gaulle. After that, he did not pass for a second term - in France they urgently staged a "student revolution". And most importantly, the United States immediately after that - the dollar was cordoned off from its peg to gold. Instead of gold, they launched the printing of the "green snake", and the whole world was addicted to it. The second victim was Gaddafi, who also wanted to fasten the dollar to gold. But over the past ten years, the world has begun to "come to its senses", and began to buy up gold, with China and Russia being the leaders. Where is all the gold that the United States got as a result of the Second World War, having robbed everyone, referring to their most reliable "bank bins" in the world - the wind in the field. Perhaps the descendants of the Rockefellers and Rothschilds sheltered them elsewhere.
        The entire financial system, including the US Federal Reserve, is still in the hands of these age-old clans. They are still not controlled by anyone, including the media. Rather, on the contrary, it is they who control all of the above. Therefore, daily "sanctions against Russia" are not "Crimea" and not "catastrophe - MH-17". This is an attempt to hit below the belt, the most dangerous opponent to them. By military means - the gut is thin, so there is only one option left - "worldwide Russophobia" and sanctions (Thinking aloud, in a nutshell). hi

        Really. None of the usurers used it: sooner or later the gold runs out, and you can write anything on paper. This is how the future bankers of Europe made their initial capital. It is this method that the United States uses after the famous ship from France sent by Charles de Gaulle.

        I remember Putin at the beginning of January announced that Russia would open up the gold and foreign exchange reserves and put them into social programs, raising the living standards of the inhabitants of Russia ..
        And then the fall in oil prices, the ruble fell and another epidemic ..

          Yes, last year our record gold and foreign exchange reserves were thoroughly exposed. Gold reserves in various Russian banks also reached a record high (92 tons), and the banks wanted foreign currency by selling the precious metal, for example, to Switzerland and France. "Opening" and Sovcombank went to auction in London. Not far behind them and the Central Bank. As a result, Russia increased its gold exports specifically to the UK by 11 times, up to $5 billion, that is, it sold gold to the British by a third more than to all countries of the world over the previous three years. Namely, 33 tons. This is at least 113,5 thousand ingots.
          As a result, gold became the largest Russian export to the UK (93%), as well as platinum and silver.
          Platinum - 2 times, up to $936 million.
          Silver - 2 times, up to $5 million.
          In general, this is more than oil was sold there.

        On August 15, 1971, US President Richard Nixon abolished the "gold standard", thereby finally nullifying any backing of the dollar.

        This happened after De Gaulle demanded to exchange green waste paper for gold. Waste paper was exchanged for gold, but then there were student unrest in Paris, removal from power, and a year later he was killed. No one else tried to do the same.

              Socialism is not a scheme, but a political and economic system, a system. Socialism is the lowest stage of communism. The Russian Federation is the result of the termination of the communist project and the dissolution of the USSR, the economic and political system of the Russian Federation is an anti-communist system. Therefore, the project of the Russian Federation is an external project, apparently the USSR is also an external project.
              It is impossible to repeat the Chinese economic system, because China as an economy has existed for several thousand years longer. For most of the time, China has been the largest economy in the world. Modern China is just another project.
              Japan, Germany are other projects. Perhaps start-ups are starting now.

With such an amount of gold reserves as we have, it was already possible to modernize the entire economy and get ahead.

        First, did you check this gold reserve? Secondly, the USSR dissolved itself, i.e. lost the world, the Russian Federation is the successor, undertook to pay off the debts of the USSR and be plundered (to pay indemnity to everyone). This is called the world order, however. Thirdly, with the division of labor that has developed in the world, the economy of the Russian Federation will not "recover"; the population is small, the volume of the domestic market is very small, the territory is huge, the climate is harsh, and exports are only raw materials or low value-added products. Fourthly, for all that, the standard of living of the population in the Russian Federation is quite high. Fifth, let's see what will happen to the "standard of living" in the West in the coming years. I am sure that nothing good is expected, it will fall sharply.

      Ah, dear colleague Alexander Zaitov...
      How I wish I could agree with you! But so far it hasn't worked. The most liquid currencies collapsed on exchange trading - the Australian and New Zealand dollars, the South Korean won, the British pound fell to its lowest level in the last 35 years. And haven't you noticed to what values ​​our Russian ruble has fallen? And, you know what investors do? They are feverishly selling company stocks, bonds and buying US dollars, which are constantly growing in price. Because closing borders stifles international trade, cuts off cash flows. Hence the rush demand for the cash that circulates around the world and, unfortunately, this is not the Russian ruble.
      Yes, most likely, the excitement will soon subside, as the patient's temperature drops, and capitalism is sick. He is sick with the old technologies of the last century, the old ways of organizing production, squeezing out all the vital juices from a person, sick with rudeness and cynicism, exploiting the base in a person. And the worthlessness of this state of affairs has long been understood by a large stratum of people in the conditional West. It remains to be hoped that the current economic and political crisis, hiding behind the coronavirus fig leaf, will clear the minds of the rest of the world's population.

They do not buy it just because 20% of its value will not be returned to you if you want to sell it back to the state, i.e. you will really lose money if the gold bars are not lying with you for at least a few years, and moreover, you are not paid dividends. A bank deposit gives you the opportunity to receive annual dividends, which is why "gold accounts" are not in demand in our country.

      ... recourse ..... probably it is connected in the same way as the increase in the acquisition of weapons in the United States (there were reports) is related to the pandemic? Yep, I can't understand. It probably has something to do with the onset of psychosis. negative from an unusual situation? ..... Something needs to be done, to react somehow ... an adequate reaction is not in the head at all .... fool

    What Mikhail Leontiev talked about for a long time has happened (the collapse of the dollar and the US economy) - a quarter of Americans surveyed reported that they lost their jobs, which is the level of the Great Depression of 1929.

    If you chew on a piece of gold at night, you can be cured of the coronovirus. laughing

    If anything, so silver has a literally strong antibacterial effect, while not being consumed in any way, unlike any other means. Perhaps there is something in gold that we still do not understand. At least, there are no scientific explanations why gold in the eyes of ancient people became a universal and indisputable value. There is something vague in the communication of Moses with the Tops about some special gold, but what it is and why is not exactly known.

    Quote from Barakuda
    Recently, gold was urgently taken out in Moscow, someone took it out and even in a hurry they lost several ingots on the take-off site .. An investigation is underway
    It's time to drive the golden Russian chervonets as a means of payment .. These are not green pieces of paper

    Will our economy survive this? At least you can imagine what inflation will be, because this means of payment will need to be sold for all transactions abroad. How, say, France will pay us for fuel elements to its nuclear power plants? Our golden rubles? After all, we have to sell them, but why do we need their euros? ALL interbank transactions will stop until THEIR economy is saturated with our money. Here, truly. true, if the shoemaker will bake pies ....

    Both the dollar equivalent and the euro began with their value backed by the gold equivalent. Initial. And the destruction of the terms of the Bretton Woods conference made the dollar empty.

    In the material, journalists note that the banking sector and investors are faced with a shortage of so-called "liquid" gold in the United States.

    The Fed and the Eurocentral Bank, in a state of emergency with the virus, are literally flooding their economies with money. The same, on a smaller scale, was in 2008. At the same time, neither the dollar nor the euro collapsed, unlike the ruble. But the bubble is inflating. Shortage of liquid gold due to the desire to spread straws for troubled times. An analogue of the stock of cereals, flour, salt, matches and cartridges, for those who have solved the problem with cartridges and matches. The crisis comes and goes, but gold remains and has never been superfluous.
    I don’t understand the joyful cries that the dollar is kirdyk. What profit do you get from this, besides moral satisfaction? The ruble will rise in price and become a world currency? Will the fields be cut up and crafts will flourish? No matter how. Ahead of the dollar falling into the abyss, the currencies of the third world countries, including wooden ones, will whistle through the air.
    And more about gold.
    Russia last year saw a record increase in gold exports to the UK - more than 12 times in value terms, to $ 5,33 billion. This is evidenced by data from the Federal Customs Service (FCS), which RBC studied. This is a third more than Russia sold gold to all countries of the world over the previous three years.

      Before writing cheers patriotic slogans about the fact that the United States does not have a gold reserve (including in Fort Knox), read about gold trading, what is gold trading on the stock exchange and what are the gold reserves of countries

    It is the attitude towards gold as a commodity traded on the stock exchange, and as a general equivalent, that is simply the opposite. There - one thing, there - quite another! Although there seems to be gold there and there.
    And how it is traded on the London Stock Exchange - this is generally a song! Several people gather who do not own either the world's gold in general, or even its share, comparable to the share of oil in the KSA, Russia or the USA in the world, and declare - a troy ounce costs so much today !!! And we have been living in this feverish delirium for several decades, at least since the beginning of the 70s!
    I would send Valdis Pelsh from us, he also knows how: "And the ruble today is equal to .... the Australian dollar !!?" Without any nonsense there - why, but why ... That's equal - and that's it! The host said so!
    Only all this grace is doomed to end, and sooner rather than later.
    And these eccentrics from the London Stock Exchange are very sad, although they don’t tell us why and for what we are driving there, to Britain, real, metallic gold, which our loaders drop on their feet.

    no country in the world can compare with our gold reserves, I'm not talking about gold and not about carbons (oil, gas, diamonds, etc.). Our priceless gold is fresh water!!!
    ps let's value together this gold!!!
