THE DAILY GOLD FIX REPORT FROM SHANGHAI AND LONDON.
The Shanghai fix is at 10:15 pm est and 2:15 am est
The fix for London is at 3 am est (first fix) and 10 am est (second fix)
Thus Shanghai’s second fix corresponds to 45 minutes before London’s first fix.
And now the fix recordings:
Shanghai morning fix Sept 9 (10:15 pm est last night): $1330.61
NY ACCESS PRICE: $1327.50 (AT THE EXACT SAME TIME)
Shanghai afternoon fix: 2: 15 am est (second fix/early morning):$1331.23
NY ACCESS PRICE: 1328.50 (AT THE EXACT SAME TIME)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
London Fix: Sept 12: 3: am est: $1327.50 (NY: same time: $1329.42: 3 AM)
London Second fix Sept 8: 10 am est: $1324.60 (NY same time: $1325.20 , 10 AM)
It seems that Shanghai pricing is higher than the other two , (NY and London). The spread has been occurring on a regular basis and thus I expect to see arbitrage happening as investors buy the lower priced NY gold and sell to China at the higher price. This should drain the comex.
Also why would mining companies hand in their gold to the comex and receive constantly lower prices. They would be open to lawsuits if they knowingly continue to supply the comex despite the fact that they could be receiving higher prices in Shanghai.
For comex gold:The front September contract month we had 0 notices filed for nil oz
For silver: the front month of September we have a total of 169 notices filed for 845,000 oz
Let us have a look at the data for today
