September Comex silver prices were last up $1.45 at $28.34 an ounce. Importantly, while there are no early chart clues to suggest the gold and silver markets are close to major tops, both are now getting short-term overbought, technically, and are due for downside corrections in the uptrends. And remember that with the higher volatility and bigger daily price gains seen at present, there will also be bigger downside corrections when they come. Global stock markets were mixed in overnight trading. The U.S. stock indexes are pointed toward slightly higher openings when the New York day session begins. U.S. equities traders remain upbeat due in part to notions the U.S. Congress will soon come through with a new stimulus package for Americans dealing with the economic hardship of the Covid-19 pandemic. Sponsored By Stansberry Research Here’s what’s coming next to America “Most Americans will be blindsided by what’s about to happen,” says Dr. Ron Paul, the former U.S. Presidential candidate and Congressional veteran. Traders today closely examined the weekly U.S. jobless claims report, which came in at 1.1 million new claims, which is less than the 1.4 million expected. Today’s report is considered somewhat upbeat, amid notions the U.S. economic recovery is slowing down. The Bank of England left is monetary policy unchanged at is regular meeting today, with the BOE saying negative interest rates may not be the right tool for spurring economic growth in the U.K. economy. The U.S.-China political tensions remain near a boil, as U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo has urged Americans not to use technology products owned by China, including Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent and Baidu. The key U.S. data point of the week will be Friday’s jobs report for July from the Labor Department. The non-farm payrolls number is forecast to be up by around 1.25 million after rising by 4.8 million in June. However, don’t be surprised to see a miss from the forecasts, to likely move the markets. The important outside markets today see Nymex crude oil prices weaker and trading around $42.00 a barrel. The U.S. dollar index is slightly lower today and hit a two-year low overnight. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note is presently around 0.526% and near a record low.

DinarThug Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 LINK Baghdad ruling deals blow to Kurdistan Region’s gold trade 20th September, 2020 The Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority's decision to ban the import and export of gold to and from the Kurdistan Region last month has triggered anger among goldsmiths and government officials. According to a copy of the decision seen by Rudaw English, the import and export of gold is now only authorized at Baghdad and Najaf airports. No details were given as to what prompted the decision, in effect since August 31. Tahir Abdulla, head of Sulaimani airport described the decision as "politically motivated", adding that it is "immensely damaging” the Kurdistan Region’s economy. "The KRG must engage in talks with the relevant authorities in the Iraqi government because this is a big deal and a serious matter concerning the economic infrastructure of the Kurdistan Region," Abdulla told Rudaw on Sunday. "The decree details that gold cannot be imported and exported via Erbil, Sulaimani and Basra airports," Handren Warti, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Region’s Goldsmiths Syndicate told Rudaw on Sunday. "This ban has created the worst economic downturn." Gold trader Hazhar Qadir says his company has lost two million dollars in damages due to the decision. "We have lost more than two million dollars in damages. This is the second time that the federal government has done this to us," Qadir said referring to a previous ruling which banned the import of gold via Erbil and Sulaimani airports in mid-October 2017, as part of a series of punitive measures in response to the Kurdistan Region's independence referendum. The decree was annulled eight months later. "We cannot stand by idly and do nothing. We will lodge a lawsuit against the Iraqi government at the Iraqi Federal Court," Qadir vowed. Warti says the decision has harmed goldsmiths and the government alike. "The ban has incurred major damages to the revenues that would end up in the government's treasury from taxing the imported and exported gold," Warti added. As of Sunday, one mithqal (a measurement in the Islamic world equal to 4.25 grams) sells for 337,000 dinars ($282). Before the ban, 15 to 20 tons of gold used to be exported to Turkey and Dubai in the UAE from Erbil airport alone on a monthly basis with the KRG levying $80 in taxes on one kilo of exported gold and $250 per kilo of imported gold. Since the ban has taken place, Kurdistan Region traders have been unwilling to bring in gold from Najaf and Baghdad, citing security reasons. "The gold market has completely been disrupted in the Kurdistan Region. We do not want to export gold via Baghdad or Najaf, because there is no security," Basir Mazraai, a gold businessman in Erbil. "It was very safe for us to export our gold to UAE and Turkey from the Kurdistan Region before the ban was imposed," he added. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
