As the global financial axis tilts eastward, a new front in the bullion market is opening -- centered not in London or New York but in Singapore.

Bullion Star Opens in the U.S., Selling and Vaulting Gold and Silver
Bullion Star is now open in the United States, offering gold and silver bullion at extremely competitive prices with free delivery. Bullion Star also offers customers a year of free vault storage along with free delivery as well as storage in its secure precious metals vault in Dallas, Texas.
Storing precious metals is challenging. Homeowner's insurance seldom covers precious metals, and safe deposit boxes offered by banks are neither insured nor covered by the government deposit insurance. Bullion Star's vault is an independently run, Class III UL-rated vault with uncompromising surveillance and round-the-clock security.
With Bullion Star you can transact and store your metals securely and confidentially. Your bullion is fully insured against all risks at full replacement value. Bullion Star uses five audit methods to verify the existence and correctness of your stored bullion.

At this week’s premier gold summit, traders, refiners, exchange officials, and market builders assembled with one shared goal: to transform Asia from a physical gold consumer into a price-setting force.
For decades, gold market infrastructure has remained largely unchanged. Physical delivery and vaulting have long been centered in London. Futures contracts -- especially the benchmark Comex contracts -- are dominated by New York. This geography has given Western players pricing power, clearing control, and regulatory command.
But as Bloomberg reported in "Gold Market Competition Heats Up as Industry Meets in Singapore," this balance is beginning to shift. Singapore is positioning itself as the leading contender in a long-awaited eastward pivot. ...

The move will be among developments highlighted at an industry conference organized by the Singapore Bullion Market Association to be held in the city-state over three days from Sunday.
"We want to be the bridge between East and West, and create a more regional-focused benchmark," Nancy Seah, chief executive officer at Abaxx Exchange, said in an interview. "Singapore isn't the biggest center of gold at this point of time, but it is the best place for the model we are introducing." ...

The BRICS countries are adding to physical demand for the metal and dips in the price will be shallow, Maguire says, adding that gold and silver are in the process of discovering their supply-and-demand prices for delivery of real metal as the price-suppression mechanisms of derivatives fail.

In recent days Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has been speaking about this power and his desire to see it ended as part of what he views as an effort to save money by the federal government. Stripping the Fed of the longstanding power would save the government $1 trillion, Cruz said in a CNBC interview last week.
The senator said then that he did not know if it was likely his effort would work but that it was certainly possible.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Financial writer Stuart Englert today refutes the many assertions that the United States has never defaulted on its debts.
Englert writes: "Despite bogus assertions and grand pronouncements made during previous debt-ceiling dramas in the nation's capital, the United States has defaulted on its debts and financial commitments. And if history is a teacher, it will again, either through outright nonpayment or, more likely, its equivalent: currency depreciation via monetary inflation. It has happened in the past when metal was foundational and preferred money."
Englert's commentary is headlined "Broken Precious Metal Promises" and it's posted at his column's internet site here:

Bloomberg has finally published an article on covert central bank gold buying (mainly by China), a topic about which I have been disseminating evidence since February 2023.
Better late than never.
As this "news" reverberates through the mainstream media, more investors will come to realize the sheer size of unreported purchases by central banks—prompted by the biggest credit bubble in history combined with the weaponization of the dollar -- and the quicker the price of gold will rise.

In 2025 these mines are projected to produce between 27.8 to 31.2 million silver-equivalent ounces, consisting of 13.6 to 15.3 million ounces of silver and 129,000 to 144,000 ounces of gold, with an all-in sustaining cost of $19.89 to $21.27 per payable silver-equivalent ounce.

I revealed evidence about secret gold purchases in 2023, after two industry insiders pointed out to me a discrepancy between the World Gold Council's quarterly estimates on total central bank buying, based on field research, and official data by the International Monetary Fund, based on what central banks admit to have bought.
"The difference is mostly caused by the People's Bank of China," I was told. Mind you, by that time the difference had already accumulated to 2,000 tonnes. (Today it's at 3,500 tonnes.) Since then I have been researching unreported purchases by central banks because of their significance to the global financial system. ...
