Deutsche Bank 'refuses' customer demands for gold withdrawals

Xetra is an exchange traded commodity fund, similar to GLD. It is unallocated, but gold-backed with right of delivery, although the Ts&Cs reserve the right to settle in cash (euros). Deutsche Bank is the custodian and has apparently said that it will no longer deliver physical gold. ETFs are a tool for speculating on the gold price, not for acquiring gold.

Are people really that dumb as to think they'd give them physical? Heck why would you enter a contract that lets them settle with cash in the terms if physical is what you aim for? There is absolute truth that if you don't hold it you don't own it. I'd say that goes for independent private vaults too. Any paper speculation should only ever be what you can afford to lose.

Would love an audit of paper gold v real....

Thing is there must come a time when there is a disconnect between the two so massive that it simply has to be addressed.  Comex and London deal in paper, Chinese Shanghai Exchange deals solely in physical.  at the moment there is an arbing opportunity of $8 between the two but what happens when 100 paper contracts to every ounce becomes 200, then 400 etc.  There has to come a time when the Chinese put a stop to it.

Yes but not while they are scooping up all that lovely cheap gold from the west. When they have enough or there is a seismic change in power that evolves from another direction they may stop it. I remember reading somewhere, can't remember source unfortunately, however they were suggesting that China invest up to double spot price at that time to extract gold from their own mines. If this is true it speaks volumes.

Remember way back to 2007/2008 when Lehman went belly up we as a country didn't even realise our own Northern Rock, RBS, Lloyds were even exposed to high levels of toxic debt and bordering on insolvency

Not a day goes by without being told of how bad shape banks and countries are in, Deutsche bank 'official' figures dwarf the figures of back then

This big game of financial 'musical chairs' or 'pass the (debt) parcel' the music has to stop sometime or at least be paused

Hedge funds will have positioned themselves to the short side way before this to drive it into the ground and profit from it. They will try to drive it to such levels that the politicians blink and save the bank using taxpayers' money which they will then gobble up too on the way up. The banks and politicians are already spouting how they wont intervene to bail out.. imagine what the Greeks are thinking watching all this play out. If the Merkel bails the bank out, they will go nuts !
