This is Super Huge news in my opinion!
The Hong Kong Mercantile Exchange, which is the gold and silver commodities trading house in Hong Kong is immediately stopping/discontinuing and will be settling all gold and silver trades in cash that are in house at this time. Besides that, they will determine what amount/price they will settle the trades/contracts at.
This is the exchange that began trading gold and silver in 2011 for the Pacific areas. This is the one we had all hoped would break the gold and silver manipulation. It seems the manipulation and physical amounts, broke them and they are not able to provide the physical.
On May 18, 2011, HKMEx formally began trading with a US Dollar gold futures contract. [9]In an interview with Reuters, Helmig said it plans to launch gold and silver futures contracts denominated in renminbi. He also said HKMEx will follow precious metals products with contracts in base metals, and then energy and agriculture.[10] On July 22, 2011, the exchange launched a second product, a US Dollar silver futures contract.[11]As of 5pm on February 13, 2012 trading on HKMEx’s gold and silver futures reached 1,003,210 contracts, representing total turnover of over US$50 billion (around HK$390 billion).[12] Trading on the exchange’s US-dollar gold futures for the first time surpassed the 10,000 contract mark on June 4, 2012.
You have to wonder if people in Asia were demanding the physical metals, compared to the paper as the Comex people are happy with. It seems to me they ran out of physical and can no longer operate with physical gold and silver as a commodity.
They are using the excuse of commodity trading not providing enough money for them. But lets face it. The fact that gold and silver have been hit super hard the last couple of months and the fact that the Asian’s have been buying all the physical they can get their hands on….. doesn’t leave much to the imagination of what the truth is.
