For those who don\u2019t know him, Peter Hambro is a very well-respected name in the gold space, having co-founded and been chairman of FTSE-listed Anglo-Russian gold mining company Peter Hambro Mining (now known as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/petropavlovskplc.com\/\">Petropavlovsk<\/a>). He was also, from 1983 to 1990, deputy managing director of legendary London bullion broker Mocatta &amp; Goldsmid. Additionally, Peter Hambro\u2019s father,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepeerage.com\/p23665.htm#i236650\">Everard Bingham Hambro<\/a>, was also at one time a director of Samuel Montagu, another of the legendary London bullion broker cartel firms.<\/p>\n<p>On top of being an insider bullion banker, Peter Hambro is also great great grandson of Baron Carl Joachim Hambro, the founder of the famous English investment bank Hambros. In fact, Mocatta &amp; Goldsmid even merged with Hambros bank in 1957 such are their connections. In the 1980s, Mocatta &amp; Goldsmid was also the largest gold and silver counterparty to the Soviet Union, a fact which helped Hambro establish Peter Hambro Mining in 1994 (now known as Petropavlovsk).done<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caption caption-img inline-images image-style-inline-images\" role=\"group\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/PH%20gold%20au.jpg?itok=Mk9h9fZJ\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"39ed731d-6a96-4f73-89a3-f67a2bda12ed\" data-responsive-image-style=\"inline_images\" \/><figcaption><em><strong>Peter Hambro showing off real physical gold &#8211; not the paper stuff<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So when Peter Hambro writes about gold price manipulation, it is not just anyone writing about gold price manipulation, this is a man from one of the British banking dynasties who has been privy during his entire career to the inner workings of the workings of the London bullion banking establishment, and who has the operational knowledge of running a London Stock Exchange listed gold mining company that extracts real physical gold, gold that has no counterparty risk and is no one else&#8217;s liability.<\/p>\n<p>For those who aren\u2019t familiar with the news and podcast site Reaction, Reaction is a serious London based publication run by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/reaction.life\/about\/\">heavy weight board of journalists and media executives<\/a>\u00a0which specialises in analysis and commentary on current affairs, politics, culture and economics.<\/p>\n<p>The trigger for Peter Hambro\u2019s article is a recent chart from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which due to a data reclassification starting in Q1 2022, now shows the massive extent to which bullion banks such as JP Morgan have amassed precious metals derivatives contracts to hold down the gold price (an excellent summary of this chart is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wallstreetonparade.com\/2022\/06\/report-jpmorgan-chase-and-citibank-hold-90-percent-of-all-gold-and-other-precious-metals-derivatives-held-by-all-u-s-banks\/\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caption caption-img inline-images image-style-inline-images\" role=\"group\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/Notional-Amounts-of-Precious-Metals-Derivatives-at-U.S.-Commercial-Banks-through-March-31-2022.jpg?itok=xw6vQzM6\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"519\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"36c3ea6f-e994-4587-b58d-403badc77a5e\" data-responsive-image-style=\"inline_images\" \/><figcaption><em><strong>Notional amounts of precious metals derivatives at US Commercial Banks through 31 March, 2022<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Unallocated Gold &#8211; The Lid on the Tinder Box<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hambro describes this manipulation of the gold price using derivatives as a \u2018<em>tinder-box<\/em>\u2019, which \u2018<em>disinformation\u00a0<\/em>[has]<em>\u00a0for many years kept the lid on<\/em>\u201d.

From the London Gold Pool of the 1960s to the new gold pool in the early 1980s, the BIS loves to rig the gold price. Why? Because gold to central bankers is like the sun to vampires.

Of course there were wary investors who found it hard to believe that the likes of\u00a0<u>Mocatta, Montagu, Rothschild and Sharps Pixley<\/u>\u00a0were undoubted counterparties and wanted to be assured that the gold would be there when they called for it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Easy, we said.\u00a0<u>Don\u2019t bother to pay for it<\/u>, just give us an initial cash margin and agree to a variation margin and our paper promise is as good as gold.\u00a0<u>This was the simple derivative<\/u>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you thought the price would go down, you could sell us gold you didn\u2019t have and margin the trade in the same way.\u00a0<u>Then along came a raft of options and other products and the derivative market<\/u>\u00a0\u2013 for that is what this chimera was called \u2013 started to spiral like a tornado.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A \u2018Chimera\u2019 being a mythical monstrous hybrid creature composed of different parts. This exponential growth in unallocated gold and gold derivatives first occurred during the period in the 1980s when Peter Hambro was a director at Mocatta and Goldsmid and the London gold market consisted of a cartel of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1986-12-22-fi-4532-story.html\">five bullion firms<\/a>, namely N.M. Rothschild, Mocatta &amp; Goldsmid, Samuel Montagu, Sharps &amp; Pixley and of course the infamous Johnson Matthey Bankers. And it was Johnson Matthey Bankers which nearly collapsed in 1984 and had to be rescued by the Bank of England so as to prevent the implosion of the rest of the London bullion club.<\/p>\n<p>And as Hambro describes, the Bank of England was then, as of now, always ready to prop up the London paper gold ponzi with some physical gold when needed in the form of central bank gold lending:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cTo make the bogus gold look even safer,\u00a0<u>the Bank of England was quietly willing to lend the London Gold Market Members physical gold<\/u>, in the event that\u00a0<u>things got a bit tricky and our vaults were empty<\/u>. When one of the Members went bust\u00a0<\/em>[Johnson Matthey Bankers]<em>, the others clubbed together and with the Bank of England holding the ropes, the customers were bailed out.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To that you can add the Bank of England&#8217;s manipulations in intervening into the London Gold Fixings in the 1980s as documented in the BullionStar article\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullionstar.com\/blogs\/ronan-manly\/bank-england-london-gold-fixing-1980s\/\">here<\/a>. Then in 1987, the Bank of England took things one step further and instructed the bullion banks in London to formalize their cartel, which was done through the launch of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). And which is why to this day\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullionstar.com\/blogs\/ronan-manly\/blood-brothers-the-bank-of-england-and-the-london-bullion-market-association-lbma\/\">the Bank of England and the LBMA are symbiotically intertwined<\/a>, especially through the ultra-secretive London gold lending market wherein central banks lend physical gold the LBMA bullion banks physical gold.
