Prices and Charts
Gold and NZ Dollar Flat But Silver Flying
Gold in NZ dollars is up about $7 on a week ago. It has busted through the significant 200 day moving average (MA). But it is now into overbought territory and a decent pullback is to be expected soon. That said, the beginning of last year saw gold just keep on running about twice as much as it has so far before the large correction began.
Keep your eyes peeled if you’re looking to buy as there could be a good opportunity arriving soon. Maybe for a pullback to the 50 day moving average which currently sits around $1725.

Silver has really performed this week. Busting through the 200 day MA and shooting back up to the high from the start of this month. Silver is also getting overbought though. Look for a potential “double top” here and a pull back perhaps?

The Kiwi dollar is virtually unchanged from a week ago. Like the metals it too is getting into overbought territory now. We’ve noticed that the US Dollar looks due a bounce higher after falling, so we should likely see the NZ Dollar pull back from here in contrast.

New Financial Reporting Rules: First Step to Capital Controls in New Zealand?
Not widely reported this week is news that banks will have to report any cash transactions over $10,000 to police. On top of this banks will also have to supply details of any international wire transfers over a measly $1000.
We’ve written plenty on the global war on cash. While there have been no moves here yet to remove the likes of $100 notes, this is perhaps a sign of further crackdowns on cash to come.
In our feature article this week we also answer the question from a reader as to whether these moves might also be the first step in capital controls in New Zealand?

Is This Further Evidence That Silver Manipulation May Finally Be Ending?
Ted Butler has updated his thesis from a few weeks ago that managed money traders appear to have finally woken up to the fact that they were being “played” in the silver futures market:
“…after decades of allowing themselves to be led in and out of COMEX silver futures contracts by their commercial counterparties, several managed money traders appear to have woken up to the fact they’ve been duped all along. A key component of the silver manipulation for the past 30 years has been the knee-jerk and mechanical reaction of the managed money traders to collectively sell whenever the commercials rigged prices lower beyond certain moving averages. Ditto for buying on rising prices.
The dependability of the managed money technical funds to obey commercially rigged price signals made the funds the true enablers of the manipulation. The commercials, mostly domestic and foreign banks, made their profits by getting the technical funds to buy high and sell low. Without the technical funds to maneuver at will, the commercials would have little reason to prolong the silver manipulation.”
But Butler believes the data shows these “managed money traders” are no longer being duped.
“From the time the COT data started tracking managed money traders around 2009 until the fall of 2013, the long position of managed money traders in COMEX silver rarely fell below the 20,000 contract level at the depths of price declines.”
Source.
Butler explains how the core non-technical fund managed money long position has grown massively since 2014. Climbing to reach 96,000 contracts on Feb 26.
The long position has since then fallen, after the recent sharp $1.50 selloff in silver, but still leaves over 80,000 contracts long in the managed money category. Some 4 times more than the long standing base of 20,000 in the years up to 2013.
So the point overall is that these traders are no longer being sucked into going short at the bottoms and long at the tops as they have done previously. Meaning the odds of silver being manipulated both higher and lower appear to have shortened lately. Silver will be interesting to watch. There is a lot of upside ahead potentially.
What Do Tech Billionaires Know that the Rest of Us Don’t?
Did you hear the reports this week of the significant number of foreign buyers of New Zealand land?
The Daily Mail in the UK did. They’ve written about how tech Billionaires are building boltholes here down under. Very interesting to see who is on the list and where they’re buying.
The question to ask then is what do they know that most of the rest of the world don’t?
Tech Billionaires Building Boltholes in New Zealand
Have you got your own silver or gold “bolthole” in place yet? If not, keep a close eye on the price in coming days as you may get a chance to “buy the dip” in both metals shortly.
There are still the excellently priced 1oz Gold Kiwi coins going.
