| Chinese gold imports – Better data, lower inflows, unanswered questions |
| In mid-August Reuters published a story titled ”China curbs gold imports as trade war heats up” claiming that the Chinese authorities had been ”severely restricting gold imports since May” by reducing the monthly gold import quotas that are handed out to a group of Chinese and foreign banks by China’s central bank, the People’s bank of China (PBoC). The background to gold import quotas can be read here in BullionStar’s article “Chinese Cross-Border Trade Rules on Gold“.

| Chinese New Year is probably the most important date in the Chinese calendar, with the event being celebrated throughout China and in Chinese communities around the world. Gold plays an essential part of the Chinese New Year celebrations.
Also known as Lunar New Year, the date on which Chinese New Year falls each year is variable since it follows the Lunisolar calendar, hence the New Year festival is a movable event. However, Chinese New Year usually falls somewhere between 21 January and 21 FebSunday, February 11, 2018 |

| Gold Stocks: An Inflationary Money Train |
| Technically and fundamentally, gold is poised to resume its magnificent rally that is taking investors into what I call a “bull era.”
The next FOMC meeting announcement is tomorrow. I expect the Fed to strongly signal more rate hikes and ramped up quantitative easing. There’s an outside chance that bank deregulation is addressed, but that’s likely going to happen in the next meeting.
Regardless, everything the Fed is doing is positive for inflation, negative for government bonds, and negative Wednesday, January 31, 2018 |

| Dollar Destruction and Inexpensive Commodities |
| Americans buy groceries with dollars. Most of the world buys crude oil with dollars. World trade depends upon dollars. That is changing but for now, it’s a fact.
SO WHAT?
If dollars weaken against other fiat currencies and against commodities, it takes more dollars to buy the same stuff. That extra-hot, sugar free, half-caf, soy latte for five bucks could be priced at seven bucks next year. Gasoline in the U.S. was $0.25 fifty years ago and now it’s ten times more expensive.

Chinese gold dealers will be on holiday this year from about February 15 to February 21. This creates a significant vacuum in gold demand. As dealers and Chinese gold markets close, the gold price tends to soften in global markets.
