Silver Hit by Heaviest Bearish Betting in 15 Years, Gold Prices Unmoved by Italy's 'Messy' Election
GOLD PRICES held onto last week's closing level Monday morning in London as the weekend's national elections in Italy – the Eurozone's third largest economy – gave no clear winner overall, writes Steffen Grosshauser at BullionVault. Analysts and traders were further worried by US President Donald Trump's open declaration of a "trade war", with commodity prices slipping and major government bonds rising.

The Coherent, The Foremost, and the Remarkable
The previous week was quite rich in important events. Silver rallied significantly on Wednesday and mining stocks underperformed significantly on Thursday. Gold declined significantly after moving to the previous high, but without a breakdown to new 2018 lows the situation remains tense, especially that the USD Index is fighting to break above an important support / resistance line. These signals may seem random, but if you’ve seen similar cases many times before, it all becomes coherent. Especi

The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have been conducting a broad review of trading since Feb. 5, when volatility spiked and investors lost billions of dollars, t

Whistle-blower got $30 million for exposing JPMorganChase
JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s failure to properly inform some rich clients about conflicts of interest has resulted in a record $30 million whistle-blower award by U.S. futures regulators. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission will pay out that amount for tips received in the case, in which the bank didn't properly disclose that it was steering asset-management customers into investments that would be profitable for the bank, according to a person familiar with the matter. JPMorgan agreed in Decembe

CFTC / SEC Hearing on Cryptocurrencies Mostly Bullish
I wasn’t expecting that much open-mindedness from a government institution. The Committee on Banking Housing and Urban Affairs met this morning to conduct a hearing entitled, Virtual Currencies: The Oversight Role of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The witnesses were Jay Clayton, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); and Christopher Giancarlo, Chairman, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The co

Fines against bullion banks for market rigging vindicate GATA, Sprott says
Reviewing last week's market action in an interview with Craig Hemke for Sprott Money News, mining entrepreneur Eric Sprott remarks that the details of Friday's U.S. jobs report were actually not very good. Sprott adds that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's fining last week of three European bullion banks for gold and silver market manipulation since 2008 vindicates GATA and others who have complained about such manipulation. The interview with Sprott is 16 minutes long and can be

Ted Butler: CFTC's long silver investigation missed what the agency just fined
Rather than congratulate the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission for taking note last week of the manipulation of the monetary metals futures markets, silver market rigging whistleblower Ted Butler today notes acerbically that the violations just cited by the commission took place during its interminable investigation of the silver market, which found ... nothing at all! Now, Butler writes, what about JPMorganChase's domination of the silver market? Will the CFTC examine that? Butler's com

Banks are in the clear if they rig markets as U.S. government's agents
Metals market analyst Lawrie Williams, writing yesterday for London bullion dealer Sharps Pixley, notes that manipulation of the monetary metals markets by big banks is becoming more evident, what with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission imposing fines this week on three European banks and the U.S. Justice Department bringing criminal charges against eight traders at the banks. Williams adds, "What is perhaps less certain is whether central banks are involved too in an attempt to prote
