Dan, et al,

This past week's Commodities Corner in Barron's was devoted to a general discussion of commodities and painted a less than bullish picture for industrial commodities - inventories remain high. However, Bart Melek at CIBC sees a rise this year in the POG to $340 to $350 a troy ounce, arising from a long-term combination of reduced central bank sales, producer selling discipline, a weaker dollar and investors moving beyond equities.

I hope Melek is right but I don't see how it is going to get through the 325/330 level unless the supply of gold to lease is reduced and the lease rates suggest that the supply is more than adequate.

The GMI/POG ratio:

On 09/19, the Barron's GMI was 434.81, down slightly from the previous week's 438.55. With the POG up significantly at 322.30(09/20), the ratio was down at 1.35.

The ratio a year previously was 1.12.

Cheers,
Larry
