Run to gold, Iran-Israel war is coming: Marc Faber

NEW YORK (Commodity news world): Marc Faber aka Dr Doom has given out a new warning to investors- a war between Israel and Iran is coming. Faber, a perennial bear, is the publisher of the famous Gloom, Boom and Doom report"Political risk was high six months ago and is higher now. I think sooner or later, the US or Israel will strike Iran - it's almost inevitable”, Faber said in an interview with Reuters while also adding that in the event of a war, “Bernanke will just print even more money -- they have no option...they haven't got the money to finance a war. You have to be in precious metals and equities... most wars and most social unrest haven't destroyed corporations - they usually survive”In an earlier interview with Bloomberg, Faber had stated that QE3 would depend on the S&P. “If the S&P drops 100-200 points, then yes, for sure we will have QE3”

A latest Barclays report had suggested that investors continue to accumulate gold on dips while also watching out for the $1800/oz level, as a breakout from this level could indicate bullish bias.

US Gold Eagle coin sales tumble over 80% in February


NEW YORK (Commodity news world ): Gold Eagle coin sales by the US Mint saw a more than 80% drop in February, following blockbuster sales in January. This is the lowest monthly sales since January 2008.

A total of 21,000 ounces of Gold Eagles were sold in February, 83% down from the record 127,000 ounce sale in January. American Buffalo Gold coin sales fell from 13,500 ounces in January to 7,000 ounces in February.

Sales of Silver Eagle coins fell from 6.1 million ounces in January to 1.5 million ounces in February, a drop of 75%.

Most analysts had believed that the record sales in January were mostly due to new year buying and conversion of pending sales to actual sales. Historically, this has often proven true with the start of the year mostly a blockbuster start.

The American Gold Eagle is the official gold bullion coin of the US, first released by the US Mint in 1986
