Gold Survival Gold Article Updates
August 02, 2013
This Week:
- Gold Backwardation and Negative GOFO – What does it all mean?
- Ned Naylor-Leyland on Gold Backwardation
- And More
Sorry we missed last weeks update. We were hoping to finish our latest article on gold backwardation and negative Gold Forward Offered Rates (GOFO), so held off emailing last week. But alas we drowned in various and differing opinions on the topics and have only just managed to finish this off earlier today.
It’s fair to say this is a fairly complex topic touching on how the New York futures and London over the counter (OTC) gold markets work, what these indicators are, and what they may mean. But as you may have read already elsewhere the previous times backwardation and negative GOFO have occurred have preceded important bottoms in gold, so we think they are worth spending some time on.
It’s quite a lengthy piece where we look at various opinions on the these 2 topics and then give our own conclusions at the end.
Hopefully we’ve broken them down enough for someone new to precious metals to understand, but it should offer plenty of thoughts also for those who have already read a bit on these topics.
Please leave us a comment at the end with your thoughts or if you have any questions on the topic and we’ll see what we can tell you!
We also have quite a few articles posted on the site, one of which is a video of and a brief update written by Ned Naylor-Leyland which also touches on this topic of backwardation. This update by Naylor Leyland looks at the price plunge in April and events leading up to it and is one of the best things we’ve read in recent months. So that is a must read too.
So given our GOFO article has plenty of content and there are 5 others also to pick from, we’ll keep this email very short and let you scroll down and then you can click through to the website and read them.
However, first you may want to read our commentary from this mornings daily price alert (go here if you don’t already receive these and want to sign up for them):

Price Action in Gold and Silver Overnight
Overnight in the markets, gold jumped to $1338.55 in Asian trade before falling as low as $1306.20 in early New York trade. Then after the fed statement announcement, gold bounced back up to close at $1323.22 for a loss of .32%.
The Fed statement for the Q2 GDP report came in at 1.7% compared to expectations of 1.0%, but then in the same breath revised Q1 GDP figures down from 1.8% to 1.1%. These government statistics agencies are complete pathological liars as the figures are always revised at a later date. Same goes for unemployment numbers.
Silver dropped to $19.39 early in New York trade, but then rallied higher to $19.85 for a gain of .25%.
Here in New Zealand with the kiwi slightly weaker on .7972, gold fell $15 to $1659.83 per ounce while silver fell $5 to $800.52 per kilo, or up 9 cents to $24.90 per ounce.
Todays price for a box of 500 x 1oz Canadian Silver Maples delivered to your door via FedEx, fully insured is $14930. Delivery is now estimated at 2 weeks.
