Gold holds gains as Ireland worry eases

(Reuters) - Gold prices steadied on Friday, holding onto gains from the previous session, as a cure is seen imminent for Ireland's debt crisis, which helped boost the euro.

Ireland insisted on Thursday its low rate of corporation tax was "non-negotiable" as it discusses an aid package worth tens of billions of euros from European partners and the IMF for its shattered banks.

Spot gold was little changed at $1,352.94 an ounce by 0341 GMT, on course for a 0.8-percent weekly decline.

U.S. gold futures was trading at $1,352.6.

Investors are closely watching China's monetary policy maneuver, after talks of an imminent rate hike have been circulating and caused sell-off in commodities earlier in the week.

Back Toward the Gold Standard?

World Bank President Supports New Gold Standard :

Robert Zoellick, the president of the World Bank writes:

“The system should also consider employing gold as an international reference point of market expectations about inflation, deflation and future currency values.”

That could ignite a firestorm of controversy between economists who see a gold standard as a global stabilizer and those who see it as a job and growth-killer. What could invite more consensus is Zoellick’s call to reengineer the global financial architecture.

“The development of a monetary system to succeed ‘Bretton Woods II’ launched in 1971, will take time. But we need to begin. The scope of the changes since 1971 certainly matches those between 1945 and 1971 that prompted the shift from Bretton Woods I to II.”

Silver shines in gold's shadow.

Is silver about to streak higher?


Silver's price has risen 8% in the past month, recently topping $20 an ounce for the first time since early 2008. The rally comes at a time when gold has been hitting new highs, on the latest round of fears that crisis-crazed central bankers will destroy the value of paper money.

The poor man's rally

Silver remains far from its own peak, set 30 years ago at a time of high inflation and a hare-brained attempt to corner the market. Unless the wheels fall completely off the global economy, silver seems unlikely to recapture its record high of $49.45 again any time soon.

Even so, silver could take on a new shine in coming months, as a slowing economy prods policymakers further out onto an easy money limb and buyers ponder just how high gold prices can go.

"Silver has been kind of going along as the poor man's gold," said Howard Simons, a strategist at Bianco Research in Chicago. "The gold-silver ratio right now is telling traders to buy silver."

Simons notes that at recent prices an ounce of gold can purchase 63 ounces of silver. Though this is hardly a historically unheard of ratio, the urge to buy the cheaper metal could push silver prices up as traders hedge their bets on gold.

Currency wars to short circuit role of Gold?

Can the Capitalist stage manage the present economy upheaval...

Currency wars point way to managing imbalances:

Despite the truce that G20 countries made this weekend agreeing not to devalue currencies to tackle financial imbalances, some fear the US has been long involved in a currency war.

The US has waged well-known wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet some say it is also waging a lesser-known battle that is just as costly and much larger in scale.

"The US is leading a financial world war to obtain foreign resources and essentially make other countries pay tribute to it,” Michael Hudson, contributor to the Financial Times, told RT.

Gold surge - US & Russia..

RT | October, 2010, 10:21

The gold price has surged over the course of this year to beyond $1320 an ounce, with investor interest growing as concerns about currencies mount.

Gold futures, warrants, gold exchange traded funds, gold-mining shares – there are many ways invest in gold. But none offer the sheer sense of possession that having a bar in your hands does. Otkryitie analyst, Vladimir Savov says this can allow investors to strip out thinking about company management and hedge books, and simply focus on price.

Gold price hits new record high

FOREX GOLD INDEX(PM FIX) $/OZContinue reading the main story

The price of gold hit a record high on Tuesday, with analysts giving a number of reasons for its rise.

Both the price of the actual metal and the price for buying it at a future date rose more than 2% to $1,274.75 an ounce.

It was the biggest one-day gain for the commodity in four months.

One of the factors spurring investors is gold's traditional role as a so-called "safe-haven" investment at times of economic uncertainty.

On the physical market, demand for both bullion and jewellery has risen ahead of the seasonal Indian wedding period and the Hindu religious festivals that begin in September

Global Uncertainty Drives Demand For Gold

VOAvideo | August 30, 2010 reports Demand for gold is expected to rise as a weak US dollar and persistent fears of a double dip recession weigh on investors. Despite falling slightly from historic highs earlier this year, the precious metal remains a safe and attractive investment. Analysts expect the price to stay strong for the rest of the year, thanks in part to accelerating demand from India and China. Mil Arcega reports.

KELANTAN LAUNCHES DINAR & DIRHAM ON 12TH AUGUST 2010

Kelantan Gold Dinar Trade:

This is the first time in the last 100 years, since the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, when a Muslim government introduces Shariah Currency.  Indeed there has been four generations of Muslims who have not seen Gold Dinar and Silver Dirham; four generations of Muslims who have been divided into little national reservations and sentenced to permanent robbery first by local, then by international Masters of Riba; four generations of Muslims who haven’t known what is their Deen.  The introduction of Gold Dinar and Silver Dirham in the state of Kelantan is not a new idea or experiment, it is the return to the medium of exchange that has been known for 1400 years throughout Dar al-Islam as Money of Shariah taking its legislation from Allah’s Revelation and Rasul’s Sunnah.
