<< The central bank said a total of 1.8 million ounces of gold was bid for, with 804,800 ounces allotted to bidders at the lowest accepted price. >>

The auction was only oversubscribed at 2.25, but the 1 month lease rates are up over 34% to 7.2713%. Most longer term lease rates are lower today, but, with the one month jumping, this might indicate a short term shortage in the metal, IMHO.

If there is a shortage, why would the BOE auction only be oversubscribed at 2.25? Unless, of course, there was some kind of action by the BOE to limit subscribers!? Is that possible?
