Gold-Silver Ratio Hits 100:1 – A Historic Buying Signal for Silver 
Gold has rebounded to $3,300 after dipping to $3,100, driven primarily by Chinese demand rather than Western investors.
Trading activity in Shanghai has sparked follow-on buying on COMEX, with record-high interest on the Shanghai Futures Exchange for both gold and silver. Chinese traders demonstrated strong conviction by holding their positions despite the recent 8% market pullback.
The current market conditions look promising, with limited exposure from non-Chinese hedge funds and neutral positioning in CFTC data. Rising sovereign debt concerns are becoming a major catalyst for gold, highlighting its appeal as an asset without counterparty risk as confidence in government bonds wavers.
With US Treasury yields nearing 5% and US credit default swaps now higher than Greece’s, investors are increasingly turning to gold as secure collateral that remains independent of political and financial system risks.
