Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Writing for Coin Week, Patrick Heller of Liberty Coin Service in Lansing, Michigan, argues that Western central banks were holding gold and silver prices in check upon the announcement by the German Constitutional Court that it would not stop German participation in European Central Bank bond monetization. But, he adds, the more that monetary metal price are suppressed during these interventions, the higher they will rebound. Heller anticipates such a rebound after the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee announces its latest plans today. Heller's commentary is headlined "The More Gold and Silver Prices Are Suppressed, the Higher They Will Rebound" and it's posted at Coin Week here:
