#Blockchain-based #Gold tracking coming to the #LBMA

London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) to create a set of standards for blockchain-based gold tracking, as well as an oversight committee to approve and monitor technology providers

Ethical sourcing is becoming critical in such a high-value sector as precious metals. It will become even more important as reserves of metals such as gold diminish and scarcity develops.

#Gold: Excellent day as it pushes through US$ 1'210/oz. Can it close above $1200 for the week? $GLD $XAU $HUI

Gold now has the real possibility to stage a significant rally, which could last through year-end.

For some time we have noted that gold needs to break through US$ 1'210/oz. to get something going on the upside. 

 

Yesterday, Gold was finally able to close over US$ 1'210 (Attachment 1, Gold 30-minutes chart). We are very encouraged as the Usual Suspects that show up clobbering any hint of a rally, were not in the market. 

Let's wait another day or so to see if gold can hold its gains. Attachment 2, Gold Daily chart, shows the push through the resistance line. 

In terms of the Big Picture, it's Closing Prices were interested in, not the Intraday moves which are just noise.

As is usual on the upside, Gold Shares have been outperforming in a big way.

$HUI, the ARCA Gold Bugs Index (Attachment 3) gained +7.4% and broke the 50-day Moving Average on the upside.
