Greetings!

In my 45 years as a gold market professional, I have never seen anything like what we all saw between April 9 and 23. Gold surged by a stunning $519 in two weeks, establishing a series of new all-time highs and reaching $3,509 in the COMEX futures market for June delivery. In four different sessions, gold jumped $75 to $100 higher in single day!

It is crucial to understand that these incredible leaps were not in New York trading sessions, where the leveraged COMEX market has dominated the gold price since the early 1990s. These price moves were in the overnight markets, primarily in Asia, where physical demand dominates the gold price. In other words, they were driven by China.

In this AGE Gold Commentary for May 5, I will explain the extraordinary changes afoot in determining the global value of gold, and the immense impact these changes are likely to have on the gold price. I'll analyze China's specific motivations for so much gold-buying during this short period. And finally, I'll outline how this major shift in market dynamics could alter the true price of gold for decades to come.

So please join me for this timely and important discussion.
