MUMBAI -- India's imports of gold and silver nearly doubled in September from August, defying record high prices, as banks and jewelers rushed to build inventories ahead of festivals and escape higher taxes on imports, trade and government sources said.
Higher imports by India, the world's second-biggest consumer of the precious metal, are set to support gold prices that hit records this week, even as demand languishes in top buyer China.

USAGold: Great prices, quick delivery -- all the time.
The surge in imports could widen India's trade deficit and weigh on the weaker rupee, however.
"Jewelers and banks have been clearing a lot of gold from customs over the past two weeks," said a government official, who sought anonymity as he was not authorized to talk to the media. "We haven't seen such a rush in years." ...

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The Sound Money Defense League's executive director, JP Cortez, is interviewed today by Miles Franklin Media's Andy Schectman about the organization's work and the growing movements among U.S. states to recognize gold and silver as official forms of money. The objective, Cortez says, is to break the federal government's monopoly on money.
"Fiat" money, Cortez says, is the root of unnecessary wars and the impoverishment of the people.
The interview is 51 minutes long and can be viewed at the Miles Franklin Media channel at YouTube here:

Hang was the principal figure in a high-profile corruption case involving 16 defendants tied to serious violations at SJC, a state-owned enterprise tasked by the State Bank of Vietnam with producing and refining gold bullion and stabilizing gold prices on the domestic market.
According to the court's findings, Hang exploited her position to orchestrate a complex scheme that allowed her and her accomplices to misappropriate gold and manipulate company finances for personal gain.
She directed subordinates to fabricate reports that exaggerated permissible gold wastage levels during the refining process. ...

A spectacular gold-market boom is spurring a push by African nations -- where the ground is rich in the precious metal -- to extract more revenue.
Bullion has soared almost 50% this year and hit yet another all-time high today at more than $3,800 an ounce. Global tensions stoked by President Donald Trump’s trade war, fears of an American government shutdown, and central bank buying have all helped to bolster its appeal as a safe-haven asset.

Africa's gold producers are pondering options to boost output and thwart the smuggling that has siphoned off billion of dollars.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is trying to add to its solitary commercial operation: the Kibali project owned by Barrick Mining and AngloGold Ashanti.
A few deals might be announced "in the near future," Mines Minister Louis Watum said in an interview last week. He estimates that 60 tons of gold -- worth more than $7 billion at current prices -- is mined in the country each year without any benefit to the state.
Ghana aims to secure more bullion from small-scale producers, whose output often exits the country via illicit routes, and has accelerated purchases since John Mahama won the presidency in December. His administration wants to rake in $12 billion from artisanal miners next year, if their output doubles as planned.
Meanwhile, Mali has opted for a more aggressive approach by taking over management of the nation’s biggest gold mine. ...

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.

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.
For more information, please visit:
Palmer will step down as Newmont's top boss on December 31 and serve as a strategic adviser until his retirement in March next year.
He joined Newmont in 2014 and became its chief operating officer in 2016 before being appointed as CEO in 2019.
During his tenure Newmont completed transformative deals, including the Goldcorp acquisition, the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture and the $17 billion acquisition of Australian mining company Newcrest to create a top-tier global portfolio.
Viljoen, who joined Newmont as chief operating officer in 2023, brings more than 30 years of global mining experience, including senior roles at Anglo American, BHP, and Lonmin, and as CEO of Anglo American Platinum. ...

Is gold defying gravity?
As I see it, you have two options: either to believe the laws of gravity have been suspended, or to accept that gold and other precious metals exist within an entirely new paradigm. Simply claiming that the markets are massively overpriced and will return to "normal" marks you as a dinosaur who has yet to understand that fundamental changes have occurred. ...

Getting to the point, it is crucial to understand exactly what this new reality entails, because when it changes, so will gold. I believe precious metals sit at the crossroads of shifting geopolitical and economic tensions. The unipolar world, where everything revolved around the U.S. dollar and U.S. treasuries, has vanished -- alongside globalization. Today we live in a bipolar world where the West has weaponized access to its markets, payment channels, and monetary systems against those that do not align with it. ...

In the centre of a maximum-security storage facility sits one of the world's biggest vaults for precious metals, emblematic both of Asian ambition to become the centre of the global gold trade and the difficulties in achieving that goal.
As gold prices rocket to record levels, the company behind The Reserve in Singapore wants to lease space to private banks and family offices, allowing them to store their ultra-wealthy clients' gold and silver bullion in a secure facility only minutes from southeast Asia's busiest airport.

But while The Reserve, which opened last year, is designed to store 10,000 tonnes of silver and 500 tonnes of gold, it currently holds just a fraction of that capacity.
"London took 200 years to build the infrastructure to become the centre of the world gold market," said Albert Cheng, chief executive of the Singapore Bullion Market Association. "We have lots of work to do, but it won't take us that long."
As geopolitical instability pushes gold prices higher, Singapore and Hong Kong, two of the world's biggest consumer markets per capita, are trying to shake up a business that for decades has centred on bullion being stored, refined, and traded in London, New York and Switzerland. ...
