Gold Analyst. I write stuff about gold, economics, and financial markets.

Gold up +1.47% on safe haven demand, at $1,939 USD/oz.

How do you post a picture here?

Gold trading strong at $1,918 USD/oz

This story about the purity of gold refined by the Perth Mint is overblown. It was brought as if gold delivered to the Shanghai Gold Exchange was fake (diluted), but the purity was never less than 99.992%.

Thanks for doing the research, quite the task I imagine.

I was wondering how you see Nostr & lightning as 'content producer' for lack of a beter word. I think it could be a real gamechanger, esp. for small operations in regards of publishing, spreading and monetizing/ getting rewarded for your content.

I see all kinds of exciting developments, in lots of corners.

Here on Nostr for publishing and spreading things like this, Habla.news https://twitter.com/fiatjaf/status/1629917966224564224

(And zaps ofc)

For publishing and monetizing through lightning there is also ghost.io of (a.o.) Marty Bent. Or just for Lightning paywall implementations on a blog, there are Dutch people like #[2] who can help you with solutions that are as (non)custodial as you want them and that are suited to Dutch entrepreneurs: lightningcheckout.eu

Does it enthousiaze you also or is this too technical and difficult to sell to a hard, conservative audience like goldbugs

Antwoord kan ook in Nederlands, gold eigenlijk ook voor mijn bericht

Ik heb idd weinig ideeën over hoe hier geld te verdienen. Ten eerste, wie zou dat betalen?

The European Central Bank’s (ECB) gold holdings went up by 2 tonnes in January 2023. This tonnage is most likely Croatia’s contribution in international reserves to the ECB for joining the eurosystem on the 1st of January 2023.

Hoe does one get a purple badge here?

“According to my analysis, the Chinese central bank owned 4,309 tonnes of gold on December 31, 2022, which is more than double than what is officially disclosed.”

My estimates:

PBoC reserves 4,309t

Private reserves 23,745t

Total gold in China 28,054t

Same here. Also, I just brought a sweater to my mom because I couldn’t get the stain out.

Currently I’m working on an article about the true size of China’s gold reserves. Stay tuned!

China's U.S. government bond holdings hit the lowest in over 12 years at the end of December, while its gold trove grew against a backdrop of American interest rate hikes and bilateral tensions. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Markets/Bonds/China-s-U.S.-Treasury-holdings-hit-12-year-low-on-rate-hikes-tensions
