I think I have understood the movement quite well now:

1) Customers deposit/buy physical gold with institutions
2) Institutions lease and leverage that gold to buy ETF's (not entirely legal but not illegal either as they are buying like for like and taking the risk premium themselves and not with customers)
3) World demand surges as of Q3 and Cyprus happens - customers demand delivery of physical back and the market demand puts pressure on institutions
4) Institutions figure they will default, put a massive short on ETF's and become buyers themselves at a lower price, pulling through Long Stops of other leveraged buyers in ETF. This results in cycling of bullion out of ETF back in institutions so they can meet redemption's
5) Total bullion driven out of ETF's is 179 tonnes in Q1 2013

Now that this is figured do you guys think this is fair market practice, or ethical?

I am not sure - on the one hand they haven't broken any rules. But on the other hand they seem to be still using customer money to make risky bets. Nothing seems to have changed much.

Edit: Correction: Some forms of coordinated/cooperative market shorting is illegal - not sure if there has been anything illegal done here though. I imagine customers depositing gold with institutions signed a contract similar to one I have with with a vault which states in simple words that the deposit can be used (without risking the deposit itself) i.e. using it for a margin account.

at the beginning of the week I said that my ma's are screaming for more down move...
also nearing the end of the down move but we need to wait for a better signal for change of trend from bear to bull....

so 1336 for me is my next lower target
then 1305....if this is reached then 1433 then 85x area....big wish....let
if 1305 is reached and no bounce then down to about 126x-127x
if 126x don't hold down again to 1155 then 1122, 1085

these are all a big "if"
with all the noise I think they will hit lower than 1305

Im looking at the daily chart, showing alot of candle whicks near the 1330 level. The daily will be oversold by this level, and a bounce will be in progress...of course this statement is also an "if" becuase the daily rsi may need to hit into the 20 range before the bulls come back to retake 1400-1470. But the 1330 would be a higher low from previous 1300 lows when looking at the weekly chart. So im betting thats the inflection zone.

Just my two bricks of gold

I woke up late so I placed a trade around three, short at 1363. Have my SL and TP in place holding over weekend as the bottom will be put in probably on Wednesday, my best guess.

We are facing the classic bears trap and the capitulation requires lower prices.

DJ: Econ Minister Suggests Yen Strength Largely Corrected

From nikkei.com
http://www.forexfactory.com/resource...tory-quote.png
Many say the yen's excessive strength has been largely "corrected," and further weakness could be harmful, Japan's economy minister said Sunday, suggesting the Japanese government may be happy with the currency's current level. Economy minister Akira Amari, responding to a question on how far the yen should weaken, replied that while he couldn't comment himself, "it's being said that the correction of the strong yen is largely completed. If the yen keeps on weakening a lot more, it will have a negative impact on peoples' lives." Mr. Amari was speaking on a Sunday television talk ... (full story)
