Who Smashed Gold Today And Why As HSBC Shocks Clients By Closing All London Gold Vaults!

kingworldnews.com

Today London metals trader Andrew Maguire spoke with King World News about who smashed the price of gold today and why as HSBC just shocked clients by announcing the closure of all gold vaults in London!  Maguire also discussed what is happening in the physical gold market as well as what the bullion banks are up to.

Today's Gold Smash Is Western Government Intervention
 
Andrew Maguire:  Eric, here we are again after another heavily gamed Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report week that evidences just how ‘managed’ the paper markets are. Given the strong Indian and Chinese demand above $1,200 and the currency crosses related to gold that were net-positive all week, there was no reason to paint gold down ahead of today's NFP. Given that the physical market is strong, the Comex-centric selling has all the hallmarks of ‘official’ selling.

Massive Physical Demand
 
What I am saying is that there was massive physical buying above $1,200. So there was no reason for today's takedown other than to flush the paper markets of some weak-handed longs, and for the commercials to cover shorts and add to their long positions.

Bank Of England And Fed Fingerprints
 
Real Comex open interest has declined by some 250,000 contracts in the last 4 years, leaving what remains in the hands of a few directional high-frequency trading algorithms controlled by a few CME insiders, who also happen to be the same 6 market-making bullion banks that have gold accounts with the Bank of England. Considering the FED had the NFP data days ahead of the release, it is highly unlikely these agent banks were not privy to the data as well.
 
What this synthetic gaming has done is drive out almost all ‘real’ open interest into an increasingly liquid physical market outside the tendrils of a handful of collusive banks. This migration has now reached an inflection point and reverse leverage is about to run these banks over.

Phsysical Demand Exceeds Mine Supply – Takedown Is Naked Short Selling
 
The downside manipulations have become so embarrassingly obvious to anyone connected to the strong physical markets. There is no way of hiding that these sales are conducted in the face of a market where physical demand continues to exceed mine supply, meaning these sales can only be effected by way of high leveraged naked short selling.

Bullion Banks' 100/1 Leveraged Paper Positions
 
These too-big-to-fail banks are once again playing a high-risk game with taxpayer money. They are so obviously mismatched to their underlying physical holdings that large institutional entities are unwinding their fractional gold and silver risks. The resulting deleveraging exposes the bullion banks' rehypothecated positions. As this accelerates it is forcing a 100/1 unwind of paper positions. 
 
Eric, last week we talked about a membership-based physical exchange that has stealthily been built over the last 3.5 years and is now bullet-proof from LBMA interference.  In our interview last week we talked about how this physical trading platform provides a real alternative to the closed-loop LBMA system.  
 
It all boils down to the fact that providing direct access to the wholesale market, without going through a bullion bank, empowers the end user. Up until now, the end user hasn’t been able to directly access the wholesale market.

LBMA Killer 
 
The next exciting step is the announcement of a full-fledged institutional global exchange to compete with the existing archaic LBMA/London Precious Metals Clearing Limited unallocated market. All the institutional trading, clearing, settlement and technological facilities to do so have effectively now been built.  There has been a slight delay with the launch but I will have a hard date for you as well as the name of the exchange by next week.
 
Within a few weeks this will change the way gold is traded as we witness large migrations of unallocated LBMA position holders unwind from high counterparty risk unallocated positions and then allocate into secure vaulted kilobar accounts outside of the LBMA bullion banking system. 
In other words, real allocated bullion will have to take the place of fractional reserve holdings. This leverage unwind will wrench the reins out of the bullion banks' hands and force a cash settlement.  We also have a treat for the bullion banks. As this deleveraging forces the buying of bullion, the soon to be announced exchange will introduce a new ‘pairs trade,’ short paper gold, long physical gold XAU/AAU. This will represent a low-risk trade and a nail in the coffin for the LBMA.
 
Eric just think, only one more NFP gaming to endure before things start to change! I will have more to share with you next week about this exciting game-changing news.

HSBC Just Shocked Clients By Announcing Closure Of All London Gold Vaults!
 
The other big news this week was HSBC giving only 2 months’ notice to clients that they are closing down all 7 of their London gold vaults! This is an unprecedented move. Why do you think this is? It is because transparency is coming. There is no profit in plain, vanilla bullion banking any longer. 
 
I also suspect given the lack of warning and lack of any press release that the majority of these clients will be unable to make other vaulting arrangements in time. HSBC will no doubt make it easy for these clients to sell the bullion back to HSBC, who will then use this bullion inflow to repay some underwater positions. So something is brewing behind the scenes, Eric, and this is one more sign major changes are coming.

On the heels of the remarkable news from Andrew Maguire today that HSBC is closing all of their gold vaults in London, today the top trends forecaster in the world called the news from Maguire groundbreaking and earth-rattling.”  Celente then stunned King World News by exposing why this will shake the very foundation of the gold world.
 
Eric King:  “Gerald, your thoughts on this remarkable news that Andrew Maguire exposed to KWN that HSBC announced they are closing all of their gold vaults in London — a real shock for their clients.”

Another Shocker – HSBC Is The Custodian For GLD
 
Gerald Celente:  “It should be a shock and it’s big news as is the rest of Andrew Maguire’s insights (in his KWN interview).  What’s so important about HSBC closing down all 7 of their London gold vaults is that the Spyder Gold Trust, ticker symbol GLD, the custodian of that GLD gold is none other than HSBC….

“While there are several gold exchange-traded products available, the SPDR Gold Trust, with over $60 billion in assets, is far and away the largest.

OK, so when you invest in the GLD you have an ownership interest in a Trust, which owns gold. Where is the gold, and who looks after it?
That is the job of the custodian. In the case of this ETF, the custodian is HSBC. The firm is responsible for safekeeping of the bars.
Where is the gold?
 
In the case of the GLD, in a vault in London…HSBC is required to notify Bank of New York every business day about the amount of bullion that is moved in and out of the allocated account. Every month HSBC also provides a weight list that identifies each bullion bar being held.”

Is The Gold Even There?
 
Gerald Celente continues:  “So if they are closing down all the vaults, where is the gold going?  Who’s going to be holding it, or is it really even there (in the vaults)?  So this should be shocking news to everyone that the Spyder (GLD) gold is now crawling out of HSBC vaults, going to whom?

Dark Cloud Over GLD
 
Who will be the new custodian?  Who is seeing if the gold is really there?  So this is shocking news because this also puts a dark cloud over the whole GLD Spyder (Gold Trust) experiment.”
 
Eric King:  “Gerald, when you say this puts a cloud over GLD, how do you think this will unfold in terms of how institutions view (the safety of) GLD?”

Mainstream Media Silence
 
Celente:  “This is huge news and King World News and Andrew Maguire are the ones who are breaking it.  And it’s not hitting the wires (of the mainstream media) as it should.  How many people really know that the Gold Trust is supposed to be in hard bullion that’s being held by a bank that’s now closing its vaults?
 
So how many people (and institutions) that are in GLD know the details of who is holding what and how much of what they are holding and where it is?  I would say very few.  And less than very few know, according to the groundbreaking and earth-rattling interview by Andrew Maguire, that HSBC is going to be closing their 7 (London gold) vaults.  That is huge news that should be headline news (in the mainstream media).”
