Central Bank Gold Purchases
Bill,
The World Gold Council just posted gold sales for January 2009. Ecuador bought 28.3 tonnes, Russia bought 4.1 tonnes, and Venezuela bought 7.5 tonnes. France, Mexico, and Sweden combined to sell 6.5 tonnes. For the month of January, central banks were net buyers of gold to the tune of 33.4 tonnes. Russia has now purchased 54.7 tonnes of gold for the 7 months from July 2008 thru January 2009. Regards,
Bryant

0.63 T vendues contre 4.13 la semaine précédente

les 35.5 t annoncées par la BCE apparaitront vraisemblablement dans un mois

The ECB’s weekly statement of condition marked up consolidated gold holdings with a new book value – E690.186 compared with E621.542 at the year end. One captive CB was reported to have sold E14 Mm last week, only 0.63 tonnes. Last week’s net sale was 4.13 tonnes. Disappointingly for gold’s friends, there was no report of any CB buying. The 35.5 tonne sale by the ECB itself, announced last week, has yet to show up in these weekly statements. Usually it takes over a month.

la france a vendu 516 T d'or de 2004 à 2008 dont 103 T en 2008

On Friday the Bank of France published its annual report, indicating that in 2008 it sold 103 tonnes of gold. Over the past 4 years it has sold a total of 516 tonnes, during which time gold in Euros has risen rather smoothly from some E320 to 2008’s closing E630.

dérisoire : 0.14 T gold vendues, contre 0.63 T, la semaine d'avant ( mis à part les 35. 5 T de la BCE qui seront râpportées ultérieurement

www.lemetropolecafe.com


The ECB’s weekly statement of condition indicated a drop in "gold and gold receivables" of a derisory E3Mm – 4,374 ozs, or 0.14 tonnes. This was said to be caused by a sale by one of the captive CBs. Last week’s sale was reported at 0.63 tonnes. As expected, the 35.5 tonne sale by the ECB itself announced at month-end has not hit up. On past form it will not do so for several more weeks.

ne publie les ventes (manipulations) d'Or qu'avec un mois de retard (c'est-à dire lorsque l'information est totalement inutilisable par les investisseurs, alors que le cartel en est informé immédiatement, voire à priori) ???

Ils sont où, les connards (et les connasses) de la CEE qui ont décidé que les industriels de l'agro-A pouvaient maintenant magouiller les prix au Kg en mettant sur le marché des contenus dont le SEUL but est de tromper le consommateur (genre le paquet de biscuits de 174 grammes, au lieu des 200 grammes antérieurs)

Et ce sont qui les connards (et connasses) de politicards qui ont permis à la BCE de magouiller tranquilles (et de plus avec un air autain...)

alors ça, Prv...c'est une bonne question... mias t'as pas du bien comprendre .. le cout des conditionnements en 124gr ou 327 gr c'est bien sur pour stimuler la concurrence... des fabricants d'emballage .. et aussi pour lutter contre l'inflation.. à leur manière ..

en ce qui concerne les rapports de la BCE, c'est pas la seule anomalie.. car si en effet les ventes des banques captives sont rapportées chaque semaine ( contrairement à celles de la BCE, elle même ) , elles ne sont jamais nominatives..

1.6 T de gold vendues la semaine passées par 1 bc européenne
37.10 T dont on retranche les 35.5 T annoncées par la BCE, fin mars et qui ont fort probablement servi à secourir Deutsch bank

voir notre file ici

Today’s ECB weekly statement of condition indicates a drop of E823 Mm in "gold and gold receivables" which "reflected the sale of gold by two Eurosystem central banks". This is 37.1 tonnes. Of this, 35.5 tonnes must be the sale by the ECB itself, revealed at the end of March. A 1.6 tonne sale by one of the captive CBs is a bit higher than the recent pace – last week’s reported sale was only E6Mm or 0.27 tonnes. Far below the notional 9.6 tonne average implied by WAG2.
Why the ECB chooses to wreck the veracity of its weekly statements of condition (initially so impressive) remains a puzzle. An ECB Council member told Reuters today that Bank plans to "renew its commitment to the Central Bank Gold Agreement (CBGA)" which expires in September and is running late for renewal. That goes some but not all the way to meaning that there will be a new one. See

0.54 t vendues la semaine passée

The ECB weekly statement of condition reports that "gold and gold receivables" fell E12 Mm last week – 0.54 tonnes. Last week the ECB 35.5 tonne sale announced at the end of March hit up. Net of that, the weekly disposal was 1.6 tonnes.
Of more interest, the ECB indicated that while one captive CB sold, the net number "reflected…the purchase of gold by another Eurosystem central bank". The lack of reference to this purchase being for a coin program will encourage gold’s friends once again to hope that a European CB is buying gold for FX purposes.

Decade of gold sales cost European central banks $40 billion

Europe's central banks are $40 billion (L26.4 billion) poorer than they might have been after they followed a British move taken 10 years ago today to shrink the Bank of England's gold reserves, analysis by the Financial Times has shown.
London's announcement on May 7, 1999, that it would sell a large share of the Bank's gold reserves in favour of assets offering a return, such as government bonds, was the high-water mark of so-called "anti-gold" sentiment among European central banks.
Many of these banks, such as those in France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal, decided later in 1999 to follow Britain and sell off their reserves. At that time, gold was worth about $280 an ounce, less than a third of its current level of more than $900.
European banks eventually sold about 3,800 tonnes of gold, reaping about $56 billion, according to calculations from official sales data and bullion prices.
Taking into account the likely returns from the investments in bonds, the banks have gained another $12 billion. But because today's gold prices are far higher, they are about $40 billion poorer than if they had kept their reserves.
The biggest loser is the Swiss National Bank, which sold 1,550 tonnes over the decade and at today's gold prices is $19 billion poorer, followed by the Bank of England, which is $5 billion poorer.
The Treasury yesterday defended its decision to sell gold as a way to diversify reserves and cut risk. "As a result of the programme, a one-off reduction in risk of approximately 30 per cent was achieved," it said. The Swiss National Bank declined to comment other than to say that it did not plan to sell more gold.
However, central bankers are confident that over the long run their move out of gold and into bonds will pay off and reduce the volatility of their portfolios, people familiar with their thinking said. Analysts also argue that because some banks had more than 90 per cent of their assets in gold, some disposals were warranted.
The proportion of European reserves held as gold remains extremely large even after years of sales, at an average of about 60 per cent, compared with the world average of 10.5 per cent.
After 10 years of steady sales, Europe's gold sales are set to slow to their lowest levels since 1999, while central banks outside Europe have already become net buyers of gold. The US, the world's biggest holder of gold, decided not to follow Europe's move. Germany and Italy are the only two big European central banks that did not follow the UK, mostly because of domestic disputes about what to do with the proceeds.

054 T de gold vendues..idem la semaine précédente..
un vrai cauchemar pour le cartel


www.lemetropolecafe.com

This week’s ECB statement of condition produced the news that consolidated "gold and gold receivables" had fallen by a paltry E12Mm, 0.54 tonnes at the present book value. This is exactly the same as last week – an unprecedented event. It was reported to be caused by a sale by one captive CB. Of course, this is well below the average sales pace needed to fill the WAG2 quota. (Renewal of this sales quota agreement is now quite overdue.) ...
The lack of gold selling by the European Central Banks is a nightmare for The Gold Cartel. This falls right into my line of thinking that as time goes by they will not want to be seen as major sellers while the Chinese, and other central banks, are buying. The worse their former selling goes offside, the less they will want to be visible selling even more of their depleted gold reserves.

tjs aussi faiblissimes, les ventes d'or WAG.. 0.63 T semaine passée

The ECB weekly statement of condition indicates that "gold and gold receivables" fell E14Mm which "reflected the sale of gold by one Eurosystem central bank." That is 0.63 tonnes: last week’s sale was 0.54 tonnes. At present, the ECB squadron appears unwilling to be seen in the gold market.

0.63 T vendues la semaine passée .. toujours aussi minable ..
par ailleurs la banque centrale d'australie précise qu'elle n'a pas vendu une seule once d'or, en 2008

The ECB weekly statement of condition indicated a fall in "gold and gold receivables" of E14Mm, which "reflected the sale of gold by one Eurosystem central bank". This is 0.63 tonnes at the present book value – exactly the same as last week. An option triggering off? Clearly the ECB group does not care to be seen in the market at present.
The Austrian Central Bank in its Annual Report said it sold no gold in 2008. The identity of one ECB seller remains undisclosed.

tjs aussi peu d'appétit des bc signataires du wag à vendre de l'or .. 0.27 T la semaine passée

www.lemetropolecafe.com

The ECB weekly statement of condition showed a reduction in "gold and gold receivables" of E6Mm (0.27 tonnes). Last week the reduction was 0.63 tonnes. Intriguingly, this was said to be the consequence of a sale by one captive CB and "the purchase of gold by another…" The lack of reference to the purchase being for coin purposes continues to keep alive the possibility that an ECB CB is making portfolio purchases.

toujours aussi peu de ventes .. 0.81 T semaine passée..
heuresement qu'il y a la vente gold fmi votée au congrès pour mettre un peu d'animation .. et du beurre ds les épines du cartel ..

www.lemetropolecafe.com


I omitted the ECB weekly statement of condition yesterday. Sorry .Two captive CBs were said to have sold E18Mm of gold settling last week; 0.81 tonnes. The previous week’s volume was 0.63 tonnes. Such tiny amounts suggest option positions triggering off. Far below the notional average needed to meet the WAG2 quota.
Presumably the gold market will soon have to deal with the fanfare announcing IMF gold sales, permission for which is currently being smuggled through Congress.

toujours aussi peu de ventes .. 0945 T
www.lemetropolecafe.com


The ECB’s weekly statement of condition indicates a fall in "gold and gold receivables" of E21Mm (0.945 tonnes), attributed to a gold sale by one captive CB. Last week, sales by two CBs totaled 0.81 tonnes. Obviously far behind schedule if the WAG2 quota is to be met.
