I will be back on Monday and I will bring you my normal commentary. I will
a short version on Tuesday night and then report to you very late Wednesday night
As for gold, we will see a rise in the gold and silver price starting Monday as China will be back from their one week holiday and they will have a feast on the low price
THE DAILY GOLD FIX REPORT FROM SHANGHAI AND LONDON Shanghai fix closed this week for holiday
The Shanghai fix is at 10:15 pm est and 2:15 am est
The fix for London is at 5:30 am est (first fix) and 10 am est (second fix)
Thus Shanghai’s second fix corresponds to 195 minutes before London’s first fix.
And now the fix recordings:
Shanghai morning fix Oct 3 (10:15 pm est last night): $ holiday
NY ACCESS PRICE: $
Shanghai afternoon fix: 2: 15 am est (second fix/early morning):$ holiday
NY ACCESS PRICE:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
London Fix: Sept 30: 5:30 am est: $1255.40 (NY: same time:1255.40 $: 5:30AM)
London Second fix Sept 30: 10 am est: $1258.55 (NY same time: $1258.55 , 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.
