JPMorgan Closes Precious Metals Sell Recommendation
Published Sep 11, 2013 on Goldbroker
One of the most underreported sentiment shifts of the past week was JPM's announcement late on Friday, that the firm quietly went long commodities - specifically base metals and copper (in addition to energy) - and the firm also closed it "sell" (i.e., underweight) in precious metals.

Published Sep 12, 2013 on Kingworldnews
Kaye: "The capping strategy is in place. There is no evidence as of yet that the Fed and the BIS, who I am certain are behind all of this, have the capability, even if they wanted to, to push things much lower because they don't have the physical gold that would be necessary to be delivered. But they do have the ability in markets, that still aren’t quite as liquid as they are normally, to push prices around a bit and create some downside volatility..."

What If the Money Printing Presses Were Poised to Run Faster?
Published Sep 12, 2013 on Goldbroker
The general feeling, or " sentiment ", is leaning toward a tapering of money printing by the large Western central banks, due in part to the official statements of the Fed indicating it might taper its quantitative easing (QE). For now, it’s just an hypothesis invoked by its Chairman, Ben Bernanke, but it was enough to rattle the markets, notably with the outflow of funds from emerging countries, which is putting much downward pressure on their currencies.
