Vietnam's Central Bank intervenes in local gold market - http://news.xinhuanet.co...3-02/28/c_132198575.htm
Quote:The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) will intervene in the local gold market to curb the rising disparity between local and global gold prices, SBV deputy governor Le Minh Hung told local media on Tuesday.
His statement was made after gold prices in Vietnam were traded much lower compared to the prices in the world market.
Specifically, on Tuesday while global gold prices were increasing, those in Vietnam sharply decreased compared to the previous trading day. Insiders warned that domestic gold prices do not follow the world trend.
To handle the situation, the SBV and Saigon Jewellry Company ( SJC) signed a principle contract on Tuesday, under which the SJC will use SBV's gold reserves to make national SJC-brand gold bars so as the SBV can trade them on the market.
Doing this, the SBV could regulate local gold trading with prices following the global trend, said the central bank official. Yep, CB still interested in gold while some media talking heads in the west say gold is a bubble... We will see. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

hisah, do you follow Rare Earths? I don't follow REE. However, commodities (gold, coffee, wheat, silver, copper, sugar etc) have been smacked down since last year and into 2013. Such excessive selling (bear extremes) usually points to a bottom. I'm waiting to see that trend change, which looks likely to start in July 2013. $15/barrel oil...

If British consumers were shocked by the extent of tax dodging by Google, Starbucks and Amazon, what must Zambians make of this weekend’s revelations about Zambian sugar; which made record profits in 2012 and is expected to exceed 400,000 tons of sugar production for its European and African markets. However, between 2007 and 2012 Zambia Sugar paid less that 0.5% of its pre-tax profits in corporation tax. But the company is unapologetic. http://www.directorstalk...ional-companies-africa/
