CHINA RECASTS GOLD BARS

China is well along an ambitious plan to recast large gold bars into smaller 1-kg bars on a massive scale. A major event is brewing that will disrupt global trade and assuredly the global banking system. The big gold recast project points to the Chinese preparing for a new system of trade settlement. In the process they must be constructing a foundation for a possible new monetary system based in gold that supports the trade payments. Initally used for trade, it will later be used in banking. The USTBond will be shucked aside. Regard the Chinese project as preliminary to a collapse in the debt-based USDollar system. The Chinese are removing thousands of metric tons of gold bars from London, New York, and Switzerland. They are recasting the bars, no longer to bear weights in ounces, but rather kilograms. The larger Good Delivery bars are being reduced into 1-kg bars and stored in China. It is not clear whether the recast project is being done entirely in China, as some indication has come that Swiss foundries might be involved, since they have so much experience and capacity.

The story of recasting in London is confirmed by my best source. It seems patently clear that the Chinese are preparing for a new system for trade settlement system, to coincide with a new banking reserve system. They might make a sizeable portion of the new 1-kg bars available for retail investors and wealthy individuals in China. They will discard the toxic USTreasury Bond basis for banking. Two messages are unmistakable. A grand flipped bird (aka FU) is being given to the Western and British system of pounds and ounces and other queer ton measures. But perhaps something bigger is involved. Maybe a formal investigation of tungsten laced bars is being conducted in hidden manner. In early 2010, the issue of tungsten salted bars became a big story, obviously kept hush hush. The trails emanated from Fort Knox, as in pilferage of its inventory. The pathways extended through Panama in other routes known to the contraband crowd, that perverse trade of white powder known on the street as Horse & Blow, or Boy & Girl.

中原看好下半年樓市

http://paper.wenweipo.com/2012/06/27/FI1206270047.htm

香港文匯報訊（記者 周穎）全球貨幣持續泛濫，市民買樓保值，加上預期新一屆特區政府會因應市場狀況，主動賣地及調整私樓供應等因素。中原地產預期，利好因素持續，今年下半年，樓市仍然向好，更加全面調升樓市全年預測。

　中原地產亞太區總裁黃偉雄昨日表示，今年上半年整體物業市場暫錄買賣合約5.5萬宗，總值3,128億元。樓價上升約10%，租金上升約5%。而在二手私人住宅市場上，暫錄買賣合約3.3萬宗，總值1,565億元；一手私人住宅市場方面，暫錄買賣合約5,180宗，總值645億元。豪宅市場 (一手及二手)方面，受到歐債危機的影響，豪宅市場表現較為遜色，暫錄買賣合約2,750宗，總值790億元。

一手銷售料1500億創新高

　對於今年下半年的表現，黃偉雄預期，新一屆政府強調不會刻意打壓私樓樓價，故維持今年初的估計，二手私人住宅全年將錄得6萬宗成交，總值3,000億元。一手私樓方面，上半年受制於預售批文延誤，銷售進度落後，下半年發展商將會全力追趕。故維持今年初的估計，全年將錄得1.5萬宗成交，總值1,500億元，總值將創歷史新高。下半年歐債危機可望消退，豪宅市場亦維持今年初的估計，全年有6,000宗成交，總值1,800億元，總值可望創歷史新高。

　至於工商舖市場 (一手及二手)，他稱，今年上半年暫錄買賣合約7,900宗，總值828億元。本年上半年成交金額已經逼近1996年全年的水平；僅低於1997年，2011年及2010年3年全年水平。受惠於資金寬鬆，工商舖買賣活躍，有見及此，調升今年原預測1.2萬宗及1,600億元，至全年有1.6萬宗成交，總值2,000億元。全年宗數及金額將會創歷史新高。

樓價指數或升近110點水平

　黃偉雄總結，整體樓市則受惠於工商舖類別買賣大幅增加而有所調升，由今年初的預測為10萬宗成交，總值6,500億元，調升至估計今年全年有11萬宗成交，總值7,000億元，總值將創1997年後的新高。至於樓價與租金方面，估計下半年樓價上升約5%，租金上升約10%。今年內中原城市指數可望上升接近110點的水平。

　由於樓市成交活躍，黃偉雄表示，今年首5個月集團本港佣金收入達15.3億元，超出去年全年收益的一半。集團(港澳區)至6月份，分行數目共305間，按月新增分行20間，全年目標增至330間，人手則由現時共約4,650人，再增300人，至近5,000人。

白蟻蛀光百萬鈔 女生留學夢碎

如果收藏的是實金實銀, 就唔怕白蟻啦 !

http://paper.wenweipo.com/2012/06/27/TW1206270001.htm


香港文匯報訊　去年剛大學畢業的陳姓女子為了留學夢，8年來拚命打工，將辛苦存下的百萬元(新台幣，下同)藏在家中保險箱，沒想到這筆留學基金卻被白蟻蛀爛，最後只拿回2萬元，讓她留學夢碎，傷心痛哭。

　台灣輔仁大學畢業生陳小姐去年畢業後，打算到美加地區念研究所，但無奈存款仍不足，於是決定先就業存錢。卻未料家中存放現鈔的保險箱慘遭白蟻入侵，今年4月查看存款時驚覺逾百萬元現金消失，只剩紙鈔上的金屬防偽線，紙鈔全數被白蟻所吞噬。

8年課餘打工 存錢追夢

　「這件事讓我很傷心難過，我不想再提了。」陳小姐為此一度痛哭。據稱，她為實現「放洋夢」，從讀高中開始，一方面認真唸書順利考進輔仁大學，課餘還拚命打工賺錢、兼家教，連父母長輩給的零用錢、壓歲錢都捨不得花，全部存下來作留學基金。

　據指出，陳女從高中時就習慣把錢放在家中保險箱，所以沒想過把錢存在銀行，有時打工回家累了，還會去開保險箱清點存款金額，藉此激勵自己賺更多錢。豈料今年4月間，她駭然發現保險箱內百萬元鈔票竟憑空消失，只剩一堆金屬防偽線，細查之下才發現白蟻成災，急忙通知調查局介入調查。

專家束手無策 兌回2萬

　有「救鈔達人」之稱的調查局鈔票專家劉蕙芬說，紙鈔的慘狀只能用「屍骨無存」來形容，「我既沮喪也很無奈，我知道這是一筆追夢錢，但很難過沒幫到忙！」她說，拿到陳女鈔票時，紙鈔上還有白蟻蟲卵，得先用酒精浸泡殺卵才能拼湊，她花了1周時間仍拼不出來，只好結案。

　由於大部分鈔票都被白蟻吃光，陳女原以為只要留下金屬防偽線，就可向發鈔的台灣銀行兌領新鈔，但銀行表示，仍須依紙鈔拼湊面積來認定，3/4以上賠全額，1/2至3/4賠半額，最後台銀只讓她兌領2萬元，陳女當場落淚痛哭，留學美夢徹底粉碎。但台銀副總楊豊彥說，日內會進行內部討論看看有無其他解套方法。

　台大昆蟲系教授徐爾烈表示，若保險箱不是密閉空間，又放在白蟻群附近，白蟻確實可能吃光鈔票，因白蟻主食是纖維質，而鈔票又是紙製品，「若鈔票堆疊零散或蟻群特別龐大，百萬元現鈔可能半年左右被蛀光。」

「盲拳」買股票 港人「羊群」增

http://paper.wenweipo.com/2012/06/27/HK1206270066.htm

香港文匯報訊（記者　鄭治祖）香港市民熱衷投資股市，但歐債危機的陰霾始終揮之不去。民建聯昨日公布一項調查發現，有39.9%受訪的香港市民在過去1年有買賣港股，其中的55.4%在購入股票前，會先初步了解有關公司的資料，雖較2007年的同類調查上升2個百分點，但不會先了解公司資料的卻由原來10.6%增至15.3%，而「有時」也會在完全不知公司性質的情況下買入股票的被訪者仍達32%。民建聯立法會議員陳鑑林建議，政府在今年第四季成立的投資者教育中心，應加強教育投資者進行負責任的投資，以了解投資、投機和賭博的分別，減少部分人「羊群心理」的投資心態。

股民人數比2007年跌9個點

　為了解市民參與港股買賣投資情況，民建聯於2007年曾進行了首次調查，並於2012年6月4日至6月13日期間進行第二次調查。調查以電話隨機抽樣，共訪問了1,181名18歲或以上香港居民。調查發現，表示過去一年有買賣港股的受訪者佔整體受訪人數，較2007年股市暢旺時下跌了9個百分點至39.9%。其中，有53%買得最多的是穩健藍籌優質股，其次是股息較高的股份，佔16%，「多人話好就買」佔9%，而表示買得最多是細價股或牛熊證、窩輪，炒波幅，則為4.7%。

8.7%只知股票號碼即買

　471名過去一年有買賣港股的受訪者中，大部分在買入股票前「會初步了解」公司資料，而「經常」在完全不知公司性質，只知股票號碼或者公司名情況下便買入股票的有8.7%，表示「有，但不多」的佔32%，表示「無」的則有54%。

　調查又發現，最多受訪者透過「報紙報道及專欄分析」了解及分析股票，佔該批受訪者的47%，透過「公司年報或證券行分析報告」有21%，透過「電台電視台節目的推介」有15%。

　在整體受訪者中，有44%認為政府在提醒市民留意投資風險的宣傳上「唔足夠」，認為「足夠」的佔26%。陳鑑林在記者會上建議，在今年第四季成立的投資者教育中心，應在幫助香港在保障投資者方面多增加一些力度，而鑑於受訪者最喜歡以「報紙報道及專欄分析」去分析股票，而表示以公司年報或證券行分析報告作分析的，相對比例較少，故民建聯建議投資者教育中心應聯同相關團體，如香港投資者學會或其他機構合作，為散戶投資者舉辦更多包括如何閱讀公司年報及招股文件等的「投資基本功」課程，透過教育及宣傳，減少股民貪圖免費貼士和羊群心態，盲目炒股以至輸掉大筆積蓄的風險。

港府提醒：港息隨時抽升

http://paper.wenweipo.com/2012/06/22/FI1206220014.htm

香港文匯報訊　(記者 馬子豪)美國聯儲局日前決定維持現行之寬鬆貨幣政策，並決定延長其「扭曲操作」至年底，將購入總值2,670億美元的長期美國國債，並沽出等值的短期國債，以推低長期利率。港府表示，美國此舉對香港經濟前景影響不大，但警惕港息或因貸款需求而向上，不會只隨美息長期低企。

　財庫局局長陳家強表示，美聯儲之舉措並無大改動，行動屬市場預期之內，相信對本港影響不大，他續指，美國過去一段時間經濟表現皆反覆，美國當局仍需進一步分析及觀察經濟數據，才決定會否推出下一輪量化寬鬆措施。

不會跟隨美息持續低企

　金管局副總裁彭醒棠則指，雖然美聯儲延長扭曲操作，可壓低長期利率，預計聯邦基金利率於2014年底前仍會保持在0至0.25厘的超低水平，但並不表示港息只會低，因港息亦受自身的供求因素影響，先前已在美息未有調升之下自行上升，而且銀行貸存比率仍處高水平，故提醒市民港息不會跟隨美息持續低企。

　永隆銀行司庫鄺國榮預期，美國應不會再推出量化寬鬆措施(QE3)，因先前兩次的量化寬鬆，對推動當地實體經濟無甚幫助，相信再推QE3亦不會有太大效果，倘若QE再失敗時，市場亦會極度動盪。他表示，目前美國當務之急為穩定房地產市場，居民才會有消費意慾。

永隆：未見歐資撤資潮

　至於目前歐債危機，鄺國榮表示目前最關鍵為穩定西班牙局勢，因當地走勢潮持續，企業違約情況嚴重，銀行壞賬亦相當惡劣，只是現時歐洲方面似未有確實解決方案出台。但他指目前不見在港的歐資機構有撤資潮，故對港匯未有太大影響。

　因應美聯儲未有調整利率，豐及中銀香港(2388)均宣布，其港元最優惠利率維持不變，保留目前5厘水平。

看好內地黃金需求 瑞士鑄金商港發金幣

http://paper.wenweipo.com/2012/06/21/FI1206210011.htm

香港文匯報訊（記者 陳遠威）瑞士Finemetal ASIA與鑄金商Argor Heraeus合作，發行亞洲首枚1重的999.9高純度金幣，Finemetal ASIA合伙人Domenic Parli昨日在記者會上表示，內地是全球最大的黃金購買方，市場對細單位實金的需求大，公司以香港作為據點發行金幣，有助開拓亞洲市場，其後亦會前往新加坡作推廣。

細單位金幣靈活性較高

　他指，金幣具抗通脹能力，作為資產的保障程度高，投資實金較「紙黃金」有優勢，不會受經濟及政局環境影響，而細單位金幣的靈活性較金磚高，交易買賣方便。公司去年的金幣產量約3萬至5萬枚，於歐洲推出金幣後，市場反應理想，亦由於全球黃金供應減少，買家須等待3個星期才有貨。相信在美元疲弱金價走跌的情況下，購買黃金可為資產保值。

The Greatest Bull Market, A Gold Standard & Silver Shortages

http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2012/6/18_The_Greatest_Bull_Market%2C_A_Gold_Standard_%26_Silver_Shortages.html

Today acclaimed money manager Stephen Leeb, told KWN, “The world is rapidly heading toward what you would call a ‘de facto’ gold standard” and that we will see “shortages of silver over the next 5 to 10 years, massive shortages.”  Leeb, who is Chairman & Chief Investment Officer of Leeb Capital Management, also told King World News that investors are now “looking toward what I believe is going to be the greatest bull market of our lifetime -- the one in junior miners.”  But first, here is what Leeb had to say about the situation in Europe:  “For a few hours after the Greek results were announced, investors were breathing a sigh of relief.  Initially we saw a big uptick in stocks, commodities, but gold was trading lower.  Then investors realized the elections didn’t mean a whole lot.”

Stephen Leeb continues:

“At that point you saw gold recover some, while stocks gave up the overnight enthusiasm they enjoyed in the futures markets.  At the end of the day, Europe is a mess, and it is still up to the Europeans to decide what to do to get out of this situation.

The strongest evidence of the continued chaos in Europe is a chart of the Spanish bond yields.  Spanish bond yields are now approaching 8%.  That’s a crazy number....
How in the world can Spain engage in anything?  How can they maintain growth in the face of austerity?

How can they do anything if they are paying 8% to borrow money?  The short answer is they can’t do anything.  Right behind Spain is Italy, a much bigger economy, and their bond yields are now north of 6%.  How long before their yields go above 7%?

So the wolves are at the door and it’s the door to (German Chancellor) Merkel’s home.  My guess is she is going to cave.  The Mexican central banker, Ortiz, who is widely regarded as one of the clear thinkers, was quoted as saying they can stop the problem in Europe almost immediately, ‘by carrying out a massive round of government bond purchases.’ 

I think that’s where we have to go.  In other words, just as our Fed has printed literally trillions of dollars by buying our bonds, the European central bank has to do something very similar.

Where will everybody turn to for safety in that atmosphere?  Gold.  I know China is turning to gold, they’ve been buying it hand over fist.  In addition to being the world’s number one producer of gold, they are buying as much as they possibly can in the open market.

So I think the world is rapidly heading toward what you would call a ‘de facto’ gold standard.  I think the winners are going to be those with precious metals.  Investors can accumulate gold right now, but once the turmoil in Europe is over, just back up the truck.

Investors also need to remember these junior gold miners.  Over the last couple of years the junior gold miners have been dreadful.  There were many days when gold was up and the juniors were down. 

Today we see gold is flat, but the junior miners are up about 3%.  That kind of divergence is so unusual over the past two or three years.  It tells you that investors are looking past whatever kind of turbulence you may see in Europe, and looking toward what I believe is going to be the greatest bull market of our lifetime -- the one in junior miners.

The same could be said for silver.  Japan is just now putting in 3.2 gigawatts of solar.  Now 3.2 gigawatts of solar is not a lot, but that small amount of solar requires about 400 tons of silver.  That is just the first step in Japan.  You know China will be coming in behind the Japanese with heavy solar use.  What you are talking about here is shortages of silver over the next 5 to 10 years, massive shortages.

So people who are betting against fiat currencies, paper currencies, and betting on precious metals, I think their time is coming around again.  I would urge all KWN readers globally, don’t make the mistake of selling your gold as it clears $2,000.  The move will only be getting just started when gold reaches $2,000 to $2,200.

The people who make the really big money in these markets are those who hang on for the mania, and getting to $2,000 will not be a big deal.  The bottom line is there could still be a little turbulence, but the lights are basically flashing green for gold, silver and junior mining shares.”

BOE Will Provide Banks With Whatever Liquidity They Require

昨晚英國電視好緊張甘報告呢段新聞, 又說希臘情況, 好多人返工無糧出, 有人有錢在銀行都取唔到出來用, 所以好多人都在賣家中值錢的野來換野食 !
英國為避免呢種情況在英國出現, 所以會大手注資金入銀行體系 !

http://www.silverdoctors.com/mervyn-king-boe-will-provide-banks-with-whatever-liquidity-they-require/

Bank of England Governor Mervyn King tonight announced two new stimulus/easing packages to be implemented by the central bank, and stated that “I want to make it clear that the Bank, through its discount window and other facilities, will provide banks with whatever liquidity they require given the prospect of turbulence ahead.”
King also announced a new lending facility called the Extended Collateral Term Repo Facility.
Massive fears of contagion? Check.
New loan facilities with incomprehensible (to the Average Joe) names and acronyms?  Check.
This is starting to feel like 2008 again.
QE to Infinity…AND BEYOND!!!
The Bank of England will launch two new stimulus packages in response to the worsening economic outlook, governor Sir Mervyn King has said.
Together with the government, it will provide billions of pounds of cheap credit to banks to lend to companies.
It will also offer banks access to short-term money to deal with “exceptional market stresses”.

Chancellor George Osborne said the measures would “inject confidence” into the financial system.

歐銀行滿手國債 成歐債計時炸彈

http://paper.wenweipo.com/2012/06/14/GJ1206140006.htm

歐洲央行早前推出低息3年期貸款，吸引歐洲的銀行和金融機構借錢購買本國國債，分析指，這種愈趨緊密的相互依賴關係，可能種下債務危機升溫的禍根，一旦主權債務違約，後果不堪設想。

　市場憂慮財困國無法償債，導致西班牙和意大利債息不斷攀升，海外投資者逐漸退出西意債市後，兩國日益仰賴國內借貸。

　彭博通訊社數據顯示，法國最大保險公司安盛集團是西債第三大持有人，僅次西國兩大銀行，但去年底已減持西債，由前年底100億歐元(約973億港元)減至83億歐元(約807億港元)。安盛也是意國第6大債權人，對意債投資額由去年190億歐元(約1,848億港元)，降至145億歐元(約1,410億港元)。安盛持有的法國債券，則從460億歐元(約4,475億港元)，攀升至538億歐元(約5,233億港元)。

What Is Iodine

Iodine comes from the Greek Word ioeides which means violet.  Iodine is the largest of the 25 elements that make up the human body.  Our depleted soils and poor diets cause many people to be iodine deficient.  Iodine is a water soluable essential trace element that is fairly rare in our soils, but abundant in the sea.

Because  Iodine   is water soluable it travels in the lymph fluid and delivers this critical element to every cell of our body.  Iodone has the highest vibratory rates of all elements.  It is usually one of the 4 most critically missing elements in humans.

What Does Iodine Do?
Really, almost everyone is probably deficient in Iodine  Iodine  and certain natural healthy foods are  goitrogens.

When these goitrogenic foods are eaten raw,  they prevent iodine uptake by the thyroid gland,  cooking does diminish this problem.    Until Radioactive Iodine quits circling the earth, I'll skip these foods.   It's important to consider adding Iodine rich foods If you eat a lot of the following: (以下食物防止典吸收, 所以須避免生吃或少吃為妙)

   *  Broccoli, Chinese broccoli, Bok Choy, Bamboo shoots
   *  Cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, Cabbage,
   *  Kale, Collar greens, Mustard greens, Spinach
   *  Pears, Peaches
   *  Peanuts, Pine nuts
   *  Sweet Potatoes, Turnips
   *  Radishes, Rutabagas
   *  Soy anything

How Much  Iodine  Do I Need?
According to the World Health Organization there are iodine deficiences in 54 countries.  Processed foods lose their iodine content, and refined sugars have no iodine.  Iodized salt can provide excess amounts.

The thyroid and other organs can't store iodine so your body need to have a little every day, about 150 microgram as a daily requirement.  Too much iodine can be toxic.

Potassium Iodide  (KI)

Potassium iodide is available without prescription and may protect the thyroid against exposure to radioactive iodine if a sufficient amount is taken before or within 24 hours of the radiation exposure.  It must continue to be taken every 24 hours until the emergency has passed.  KI will not help with radiation damage to other parts of your body.The FDA has approved two different forms of KI, tablets and liquid, that people can take by mouth after a nuclear radiation emergency.  Tablets come in two strengths, 130 milligram (mg) and 65 mg.  According to the FDA, the following doses are appropriate to take after internal contamination with, or likely internal contamination, with radioactive iodine:

   *  Adults should take 130 mg tablets OR two mL of solution
   *  Breastfeeding women should take the adult dose of 130 mg
   *  Children 3 and 18 years of age should take one 65 mg tablet OR 1 mL of solution
   *  Children who are adult size >150 pounds should take the full adult dose
   *  Infants and children between 1 month and 3 years of age should take 1/2 of a 65 mg tablet OR 1/2 mL of solution
   *  Newborns from birth to 1 month of age should be given 1/4 of a 65 mg tablet or 1/4 mL of solution

If you're unable to find an oral source of iodine, you can still put Betadine or other Iodine tincture on your skin.  DO NOT DRINK IT!   This method is said to block thyroid radioactive iodine uptake up to 99 percent.  You can paint a patch on the abdomen, or on your throat above your thyroid, it will be absorbed into your skin.

Personally, I prefer super saturated Potassium iodide (SSKI) on the soles of the feet.  Your body will absorb the amount that is needed and will deliver the KI to all organs of your body, including the thyroid gland.  This is easy to do, can be done just before bed, you don't have to worry about taking too much.  The acupuncture meridian lines loop through the feet and are very effective for delivery of herbs, oils & natural remedies.

High Iodine Diet

People in North America eat about 240 micrograms of  Iodine   daily.
People in Japan eat about 12 milligrams  (mg) daily or about 50 times more than North Americans.

Most Americans are iodine deficient and would need to consume 12.5 mg a day for 1 year in order to have sufficient whole body iodine levels.

The Japanese eat lots of seaweed and other  sea vegetables   which protect them from the harmful effects of radioactive iodine.  For thyroid protection they should not need to take additional iodine supplements.  Their abundant consumption of iodine rich foods helps their thyroid but more will be needed to protect their other organs from radiation damage.

High Iodine FoodsLevels of iodine in animal products will vary depending on the type of food given to the animal.  This is an even more critical time to avoid grain fed, or soy fed animals.  Soy is a goitrogen which will prevent iodine uptake into your thyroid gland.

   *  Consuming foods rich in  natural iodine   helps protect the uptake of radioactive iodine-131
   *  Iron  inhibits the absorption of plutonium
   *  Vitamin B12  inhibits cobalt
   *  Sulfur is a preventative for sulfur-35, a product of nuclear reactors.  I now include 1 tsp of  MSM  also beneficial for improved concentration, pain relief for headaches, arthritis or other inflammation, gastrointestinal relief, improved hair and nail growth, considered to be anti-aging, helps with increased wound healing, improves metabolism and insulin resistence.Eating these natural healthy foods will help supply sufficient iodine and boost other mineral levels.  This is a very important time to ensure that you are eating organic food rather than pesticide sprayed or false foods. Iodine concentrations differ and are found to some degree in every living plant and animal.

Best Natural Iodine Sources (多天然典的食物)

   *  Chlorella,  Bladderwrack,   sea vegetables,  Kelp,  Dulse
   *  blueberries, bananas, prunes, watermelon
   *  asparagus, garlic, onions, eggplant, oats
   *  papayas, pineapples, mangoes
   *  eggs, liver,  raw goat milk,   yogurt, salmon
   *  green peppers,  Cilantro  Swiss chard,   14 Organic Greens,  tomatoes

英皇金融集團總裁 黃美斯

　美聯儲公佈的最新褐皮書報告稱，美國經濟成長在過去兩個月有所加快，僱傭也出現溫和增長的跡象。這份報告與近日對經濟日漸悲觀的看法截然相反。央行還指出就業形勢正在穩步或溫和增長，而上周政府報告所顯示的前月就業增長連續第四個月放慢，與之形成鮮明對比。褐皮書報告亦指出，通脹壓力似乎趨於溫和，部分緣於能源價格下滑。

　黃金價格周三在經歷震盪上落後僅錄得微升，此前美國聯邦儲備理事會(FED)對經濟的評估令人鼓舞，使得避險黃金自稍早觸及的一個月高位下滑。稍早市場曾傳各國央行將推出更多寬鬆貨幣政策，受此推動金價上揚；但其後又自一個月高位1,640.50美元下滑超過20美元。

　美聯儲在最新的褐皮書中表示，過去兩個月美國經濟增長加速，招聘顯示出溫和增長的跡象。上周五的非農就業數據令美聯儲面臨採取進一步措施以提振放緩美國經濟的壓力。亞特蘭大聯邦儲備銀行總裁洛克哈特周三表示，如果美國經濟徘徊不前或歐洲債務危機觸發全面金融震盪，聯儲或需放寬貨幣政策。儘管投資者在上周黃金大漲近4%後獲利了結，但由於歐洲債務問題的存在和避險需求，黃金表現預計仍將好於股票市場。

　技術圖表上看，黃金在1,618美元附近的50天平均線尋得支撐，而其過去一個月築起的雙底形態也支撐買盤。首個重要支撐將會以5月21日高位1,598水平為依據，亦即為頸線位置，未有跌破此區，則反彈之勢將可望繼續延展。即市較近支撐預料在1,614及1,605水平。向上阻力方面，較近先參考1,634；至於周三末能劃破之1,640關口先會引起關注，下一級則會看至1,651水平。另外，亦要留意目前100天平均線處於1,663，而若計算雙底幅度，延伸之潛在目標亦是為1663水平，故將為這段回升浪之重要依據目標。

白銀轉強形勢更為清晰

　倫敦白銀周三大幅上揚，最高觸及5月8日迄今最高位29.88美元，受到銅和其他基本金屬漲勢帶動。白銀表現超過黃金並收高3%，之前美國股市和工業商品受市場人氣好轉扶助上揚，因人們愈發期冀歐洲將救助西班牙陷入困境的銀行業。白銀表現優於黃金，亦在於其工業屬性較強。

　技術走勢方面，白銀周三分別突破了源自3月份的下降趨向線以及25天平均線，更進一步攀上29美元關口，令至技術面轉強的形勢更為清晰。若以自2月29日高位37.46至5月16日低位26.73美元此段跌幅計算，38.2%及50%反彈水平將會看至30.83及32.09，擴展至61.8%則為33.36美元。至於較近阻力則為50天平均線29.97，周三之漲幅亦見止步於此區附近，應為當前進一步漲勢的重要關卡。至於較近支持在28.60及27.70美元，較大支持在27.35美元之短期上升趨向線位置。

東 亞 人 幣 定 存 3.1 厘 冠 全 城

http://www.singtao.com/yesterday/fin/0607do07.html

(星島日報報道)銀行爭奪人民幣存款戰愈演愈烈，中小型銀行人幣定存息率升穿3厘，東亞（023）以3.1厘利率冠絕全城，眼看同行步步進逼，大行豐兩星期內再度出手，將3個月人民幣定存息率大幅提升至高於2.88厘，升幅接近1厘。

　　一向吸納人民幣存款積極的東亞，昨日調高其10至24個月的人幣定存息率至3.1厘，全城最高，升幅為25點子，突破3厘大關。而富邦銀行亦推人幣定存優惠，9個月息率達3.08厘，6個月亦有2.98厘，起存額為10萬元人民幣。

眼見對手不斷進逼，在同行夾攻之下，豐兩星期內再度出招。早前豐於5月底才全面調高人幣定存息

率，存3個月享2.1厘，12個月為2.4厘，起存額為2萬元。市場消息透露，今日豐將會再度上調人民幣息率，3個月定存利率高於2.88厘，升幅差不多1厘，預計其調整後為大行中最高。

　　對人民幣升值預期減弱，吸引人民幣存款誘因減少，本港人民幣存款5個月連跌。為吸引存款，銀行紛紛調高人幣定存息率，大行細行相繼加入人民幣存款大戰，長錢短錢「通殺」。渣打早前多次調高人幣定存息率，最近更將3個月息率大幅調高至2.88厘，中銀香港反擊，吸納長期存款，15個月平均息率亦達2.79厘。中小型銀行跟隨加息步伐，其中南洋商業銀行15個月平均息率達2.99厘，起存額僅為2萬元人民幣。
恒生銀行（011）人民幣業務策略及計畫部主管顏劍文表示，今年人民幣跨境貿易貸款需求仍大，加上臨近中期年結，故此銀行均積極吸納資金。他相信人民幣有出路，相關業務利潤理想的情況下，人民幣定存息率仍有上升空間。

　　永隆銀行存款部主管龔志明表示，人民幣升值步伐放緩，銀行吸存款難度加大，銀行要不斷調高息率以吸引存戶。預料市場憧憬人民幣業務進一步發展，銀行吸納人民幣存款意欲延續，定存息率將會再升。

　　昨日渣打香港亦下調今年人民幣升值預測，由原來預期年底時，美元兌人民幣匯率6.21，調整至6.31，但料明年人民幣能夠重拾升勢，明年全年升值1.9%至年底的6.19

銀監警告勿過度貸款鋼鐵商

http://paper.wenweipo.com/2012/06/06/FI1206060031.htm

香港文匯報訊　內地鋼鐵行業受經濟增長放緩和全球鐵礦石價格高位運行的雙重夾擊，經營遭遇困境，多間企業出現利潤大幅下滑甚至虧損，有的企業為保利潤而需經營其他業務。為防範風險，中國銀監會近日表示，已就對部分鋼鐵貿易商過度放款的問題向銀行業提出警告，因為這些貿易商會利用貸款取得的資金在地產和股票市場進行投機交易。

　路透指，《金融時報》援引銀監會在4月26日發布的指導方針稱，鋼鐵貿易商的貸款原為支應鋼鐵相關項目，但由於鋼鐵需求溫和，因此他們便將資金用於風險投資，但這樣做導致鋼鐵市場出現大規模融資。隨著風險升高，可能造成大量銀行壞賬，進而損及金融體系的安全。

　中國鋼鐵製造商產出約佔全球產出的半數，由於需求疲弱，中國鋼鐵商今年第一季虧損約10億元人民幣。
