Gold ignores Fed minutes in favor of China data

Everyone was clearly convinced the Fed was going to provide, with absolute clarity, what they were thinking in regard to tapering. This is despite them failing to do so every other time markets thought they might do just this.

Obviously the FOMC minutes did not provide any further clues as to when the bond buying program might be scaled back. The general sentiment of the board was that more data was required and, for some, that it might be too soon to begin tapering. Despite this many believe the minutes indicated that the Fed ‘remained on track’ to scale back purchases should conditions remain the same.

The gold price didn’t really care, before or after the release. In the run-up to the minutes it fluctuated between gains and losses and post-release it originally gained in the first few minutes but then fell very slightly. The SPDR Gold Trust gained 0.5%, despite seeing outflows.

Prior to the FOMC minutes, volumes of the Shanghai Gold Exchange climbed to 10,926kg for gold of 99.99 percent purity, their highest level since August 2nd.

Financial SYSTEM is BANKRUPT, FED Turning Us Into SERFS: Gregory Mannarino & Jason Burack

the government TAKES our money in the form of taxes and usury. The workers are Owed money from these demonic bankers and gov't shills. When they SEIZE money from FICA, for example...They promise to give us this money back if we're sick or old. But INSTEAD they give our FICA $$ to obese or "depressed" 20 year olds and illegal immigrants..It's fraud. They need to be arrested. FICA means Federal Insurance Commission Act. Look into what you've paid them and imagine if it were in a bank earning 5% interest. Private Insurance companies would be PROSECUTED if they gave your money away.
