Rule
also warned about the ongoing bank run in Europe: “... about 5% of the retail deposits in Spanish banks have been pulled
out of the banks in the last two weeks.” But first, here is what Rule had to
say regarding the gold market: “I’ve looked at a lot of speculation
concerning the reason for the increase in the gold price in the last two or
three weeks. There are a lot of factors involved. Obviously there is some fear
involved, and what I think is really healthy, in terms of the price increase, is
that it doesn’t seem to have come about from an increase in institutional
demand, that is from hot money.”
Rick Rule continues:
“It doesn’t seem to be a momentum or greed trade, but
rather a fear trade. These are concerns about international bank solvency or
concerns about what might happen at Jackson Hole, or what might happen with
quantitative easing. I think it’s constructive that the gold price is moving on
fundamental news, rather than the way it moved in 2010, which was a response to
institutional momentum buying.
This will lead to a much stronger gold market...."
