THE DAILY GOLD FIX REPORT FROM SHANGHAI AND LONDON
.
The Shanghai fix is at 10:15 pm est and 2:15 am est
The fix for London is at 3 am est (first fix) and 10 am est (second fix)
Thus Shanghai’s second fix corresponds to 45 minutes before London’s first fix.
And now the fix recordings:
Shanghai morning fix Sept 7 (10:15 pm est last night): $1352.07
NY ACCESS PRICE: $1349.21 (AT THE EXACT SAME TIME)
Shanghai afternoon fix: 2: 15 am est (second fix/early morning):$1353.00
NY ACCESS PRICE: 1351.70 (AT THE EXACT SAME TIME)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
London Fix: Sept 7: 3: am est: $1348.25 (NY: same time: $1351.05: 3 AM)
London Second fix Sept 7: 10 am est: $1348.25 (NY same time: $1349.63 , 10 AM)
It seems that Shanghai pricing is higher than the other two , (NY and London). The spread has been occurring on a regular basis and thus I expect to see arbitrage happening as investors buy the lower priced NY gold and sell to China at the higher price. This should drain the comex
For gold:The front September contract month we had 399 notices filed for 39900 oz

a) REPORT ON JAPAN
This is troublesome as the yen rises despite the fact that Japan is a basket case. The problem is dissension among the Bank of Japan officials: they just do not know which way to turn:
- stop QE altogether
- continue with QE
- continue with negative interest rates
all sides are divided equally into these 3 groups

The next delivery month is October and here the OI rose by 86 contracts up to 44,233. This level is extremely high and no doubt many of these will wait it out and take delivery at the end of the month. The next contract month of December showed an increase of 24,218 contracts up to 443,885.The estimated volume today at the comex: 151,244 fair Confirmed volume yesterday: 307,114, which is excellent.

THE GOLD COMEX IS AN ABSOLUTE FRAUD. THE USE OF KILOBARS AND EXACT WEIGHTS MAKES THE DATA TOTALLY ABSURD AND FRAUDULENT!!
To me, the only thing that makes sense is the fact that “kilobars” are entries or hypothecated gold sent to other jurisdictions so that they will not be short in their derivatives like in England. This would be similar to the gold used by Jon Corzine. If this is the case, this would be the greatest fraud perpetrated on USA soil.
