Weekly Gold & Silver Market Recap – 4/26/2013

PHYSICAL BUYERS DRIVE GOLD MARKET

After last week’s Gold and Silver prices hit a two year low, physical buyers jumped on the opportunity to buy at the reduced market pricing. That buying of Gold and Silver gave prices a boost this week. On Monday, the Gold price recovered some of the ground lost after last week’s major price drop as expectations for the metal remain positive among many investors. “As the price moved over $1,400 per ounce, physical traders, on the expectation that Gold could possibly correct back higher, rushed into Gold.” MKS Group Senior Vice President Frederic Panizzutti said. The demand for physical Gold along with continued support by central banks has helped buoy prices over the last few sessions. One of the driving factors of the increase in the Gold price this week was the U.S. durable goods report, which was lower than expected. “Overall, the weak tone of this report underscored the emerging narrative of a considerable slowing in economic growth momentum in March,” TD Securities senior economist Millan Mulraine said. Many economists blame the slowdown on the budget cuts that took place earlier in the year and believe businesses are being more hesitant due to the uncertainty in the economy. Gold climbed to its highest price in ten days during overnight trading on Thursday, hitting $1,447.66 an ounce. The increase is credited to a weaker dollar, firmer prices in other commodities and a ninth straight session of physical Precious Metals demand. Investors have also noted that Russian and Turkish central bank purchases, as reported by the International Monetary Fund, increased in March. Daily outflows from exchange traded funds (ETF) are keeping the largest Gold backed ETF, New York’s SPDR Gold Trust, at its lowest level since late 2009.

IS GOLD UNDERVALUED DUE TO ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY?

Gold’s price movement over the past few weeks has the market questioning whether the bull run is over. Compared to fiat money, the yellow metal continues to be undervalued, according to Hinde Capital CEO Ben Davies, who believes Gold has held its ground throughout history and is currently being pressured by paper money. Author Detlev Schlichter said, “After 40 years of relentless paper money expansion and in particular 25 years of Fed-led global bubble finance, the dislocations in the global financial system are so massive that nobody in power dares to turn off the monetary spigot and allow market forces to do their work, that is to price credit and to price risk according to the available pool of real savings and the potential for real income generation rather than according to the wishes of our master monetary planners.” The continued easing in the major global markets is not the only sign of uncertainty that investors are taking note of. Volatility in equities markets remains as many experts have cut corporate earnings projections for the second quarter. Economists who initially forecasted a 6.2 percent increase at the beginning of April have scaled back their predictions to 5.5 percent expansion in the coming quarter. “The earnings season has been enough to hold stocks where they are in light of some less than hoped for macro data,” Federated Investors Inc. fund manager Lawrence Creatura said. “Time will tell if it will remain enough as we move through what’s a seasonally more difficult time.” In Europe the debt crisis is spreading to the eurozone’s stronger economies now, according to German industrial giant Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz autos and trucks. Daimler said it is feeling the effects of the crisis in Germany, signaling the spread of the problem from the smaller countries to the eurozone’s economic powerhouse. High Frequency Economics chief economist Carl B. Weinberg said, “The EU has made Europe a much more cohesive economy, which is good when things are going up, but when things are going down the multiplier is very strong. An outgoing tide lowers all ships.”

Investing In Silver: A Q&A Session with APMEX Director of VIP Services, Peter LaTona.

On April 10, 2013, we had a Q&A session regarding “Investing in Silver” on Facebook and Twitter, where our fans and followers had the opportunity to ask our Director of VIP Services, Peter LaTona their questions about investing in Silver. Below is a recap of this session. To join in on upcoming Q&A sessions, make sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. We look forward to your questions


Q What is your opinion of Brittania’s versus Eagles for 1oz silver?
A
Truthfully these are both bullion coins produced by government Mints. They will both rise and fall with the price of silver. Some people just like collecting all the coins from around the world

Q I have $500 to invest. Do you have any advice for someone like me?
A If you are looking to invest $500 in silver I would buy the best deal we have going that day. You might even consider bars or rounds because the premium is smaller.

Q The premiums in “junk silver” is going up, could this mean there is starting to be less and less of it out there?
A
It definitely means that there is less availability right now. It could be that the sellers are holding on for prices to increase or it could mean more investors are buying this product so the demand is increasing

Q The National debt is out of control $16.7 trillion. Silver and Gold prices were at record highs just a few months ago. Has the sequester given the markets a false hope that Washington is addressing the debt problem? Is this why Gold & Silver have taken a hit downward and do you believe like I do that it is only a matter of time until it skyrockets?
A
I think you are on target. The same Fed Policy that drives up gold and silver is artificially making the stock market more attractive. At what point do companies need to produce real results and not just take advantage of cheap money?

Q With the recent crash in silver, are you buying or selling silver?
A
To answer your question we are both buying and selling. I am sure you have a long term view on where silver prices will be three years from now. Make your decision based on that and do not worry about timing the market.

Q What do you think the outlook for Silver will be for the remainder of the year?
A
We try to stay away from predicting prices and I would say that if anyone says they do know, they do not. Be especially cautious of a dealer who says prices are shooting to the Moon. They might just be selling you silver. I personally believe that the macro economic factors, money printing and geopolitical tension are all factors that favor gold and silver prices to increase.

Q With Silver & Gold going down in price, is it still a good investment? Compared to Money Market Bonds? It does not look like the fiat dollar is going anywhere fast.
A
I did not say prices would go down, I can say that today right at this moment prices are down, but next hour who knows? I believe that gold and silver are a solid long term investment

Q When I buy or sell silver or gold at APMEX what do YOU report to the IRS?
A
Form 8300 for cash transactions and 1099B for when you sell. If you pay by bank wire, personal check or credit card, it is not considered cash

Q The price of silver and gold is down but the price is down? If the demand is up and they keep running out of eagles shouldn’t the price be up?
A
The price of Silver Eagles have gone up because they are in short supply. Everyone is buying because silver went down. This does not mean the overall supply of silver is scarce.

Q Hello Mr. LaTona, my question to you sir is with all major governments printing to infinity, where do you see gold and silver prices head by the end of 2013?
A
There are very few people who really think all of this global money printing will turn out well. This is a major reason people are buying gold and silver…including the Central Banks who print the money

Q I was wondering what is a better buy, government backed coins like silver eagles and maple leafs or APMEX and sunshine mint silver coins and bars?
A
I like the added security of having a coin produced by a government mint, but many people in my company prefer rounds or bars. The “spread” meaning the difference between what we pay you and you pay us is very similar on all these items, so you cannot make a bad choice.

Q How do you feel about the future of AGQ and SLW? What are your favorite Junior Miners?
A
I think ETFs will be here for a long while as they are especially good for day trading. I honestly know little about mining companies.
