Ich weiss, es ist mühsam, wenn man die englischen Postings nicht lesen kann. Aber was soll ich machen, die neuesten Meldungen zum Geschehen sind leider praktisch alle in englischer Sprache verfasst.
Ebenfalls die GATA Meldungen. Kann beim besten Willen aus Zeitgründen keine Übersetzungen dazu liefern.

Meldungen in Deutsch die im deutschsprachigen Raum zum Gold/Silber veröffentlicht werden, erscheinen nur teilweise, und leider meist noch mit einer Verzögerung von 1 bis 2 Tagen, und sind vielfach noch schlechte oder unkomplet gemachte Übersetzungen.

Ein richtig brauchbares Übersetzungsprogram ist leider auch noch nicht verfügbar. Das was es als Programme bereits gibt hilft aber wenigstens einen Text mindestens etwas zu verstehen, auch wenn sich manche Übersetzung aus dem Englischen noch sehr Ulkig anhören.

Hier nochmals zwei Links wo man im Internet ganze Texte gratis mit "copy and paste" übersetzen lassen kann:

Fed 'prepared to do what is required'

Rate hikes likely to be measured but that could change

By Greg Robb, CBS.MarketWatch.com

Last Update: 11:00 AM ET June 8, 2004

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Federal Reserve rate hikes are likely to be measured, but the central bank is "prepared to do what is required" to fight inflation, Alan Greenspan said Tuesday.

Fed officials have said in recent weeks that future rate hikes would be measured.

Zitat

"That conclusion is based on our current judgment of how economic and financial forces will evolve in the months and quarters ahead," the chairman of the Federal Reserve said in a speech prepared for delivery via satellite to the International Monetary Conference in London.

Greenspan noted, however, that the Fed could become more aggressive if inflationary pressures mount.

Zitat

"Should that judgment prove misplaced, however, the FOMC is prepared to do what is required to fulfill our obligations to achieve the maintenance of price stability so as to ensure maximum sustainable economic growth," he said.

Businesses are becoming more confident about the economy and are now hiring "with some vigor," Greenspan said. At the same time, many new hires are temporary workers, an indication that "business caution remains a feature of the economic landscape," he said.

Recent financial indicators, including rapid money growth, "underscore that the FOMC has provided ample liquidity to the financial system that will become increasingly unnecessary over time," he said.

Financial markets appear prepared for higher interest rates, unlike 1994, Greenspan said,

Zitat

"though history cautions that investors' anticipations of the cumulative magnitude of policy actions and their timing under such circumstances are far from perfect."

U.S. treasury prices turned lower after Greenspan's comments. The benchmark 10-year note declined 9/32 to 99 19/32, while its yield rose to 4.80 percent from Monday's close of 4.77 percent. See Bond Report.

Greenspan said that there has been a return of pricing power to businesses and the threat of deflation has ended.

Core consumer inflation, as measured by the personal consumption expenditures index, has increased, Greenspan noted. The core PCE is up 1.4 percent over the last year ended in May, compared with a 0.8 percent annual increase in December of last year.

But he said cost pressures have been "relatively subdued."

The rise of energy prices is a "worrisome element" that has been a net drain on the economy and could boost inflation if the high price level persists.

Zitat

"The recent modest declines in oil and natural gas prices may or may not signal a trend but are nonetheless welcome," Greenspan said.

Coeur d'Alene Mines urges Wheaton stockholders to buck management

Monday June 7, 5:27 pm ET

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) -- Rebuffed a second time by opposing management, Coeur d'Alene Mines Corp. called on stockholders of Toronto-based Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. to reject a rival merger bid and at least review Coeur's $2 billion offer.

"Coeur's proposal is clearly superior," Chairman Dennis Wheeler said in a statement Monday.

Wheaton River sticks with Iamgold merger plan; Iamgold vote may be delayed

03:18 PM EDT Jun 08

DAVID PADDON

TORONTO (CP) - Iamgold Corp.'s plans for a shareholders vote on a proposed merger with Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. could be put on hold at the last minute Tuesday if an Ontario judge rules in favour of requests for a court-imposed delay.

While the two companies' boards have rejected recent overtures by two U.S. mining companies, Iamgold's plans for a shareholder vote was challenged in court Monday by lawyers for rival suitor, Golden Star Resources, and a group of shareholders.

Denver-based Golden Star argued that a stand-still agreement it signed with Iamgold in September should not be used to block Golden Star from making a formal rival offer. Iamgold has refused to provide a shareholders list, citing the agreement.

Lawyers for Golden Star and a group of shareholders with 15 per cent of Iamgold's stock also asked for a court order to delay the Iamgold vote to give shareholders time to consider both the Wheaton and the Golden Star alternatives.

Justice Alexandra Hoy of Ontario Superior Court said she would issue her ruling Tuesday morning at about 10 a.m., just two hours before Iamgold has scheduled its meeting and an hour before Wheaton River is to hold its vote in Toronto.

Earlier Monday, Vancouver-based Wheaton River - also the target of a separate takeover bid - rejected a sweetened takeover offer from Idaho-based silver miner Coeur d'Alene Mines Corp., which is offering $2.8 billion in shares and cash.

The Coeur offer for Wheaton, announced on May 27, was initially worth $2.5 billion but was increased last week. Wheaton River's board rejected the latest offer in a meeting on Sunday.

Zitat

"Following a thorough review of the revised proposal by (Coeur d'Alene), Wheaton continues to believe that the Iamgold transaction is superior," Wheaton chairman and CEO Ian Telfer said Monday in a release.

He said Wheaton's board confirmed the decision after Coeur's chairman and CEO, Dennis Wheeler, made a presentation to the directors on Sunday evening.

Wheeler stated Monday that he had been granted only a 30-minute meeting and was "surprised and disappointed by the hasty rejection of our increased proposal by the Wheaton River board."

Golden Star lawyer Jeffrey Leon has asked Justice Alexandra Hoy for a three-week delay of the Iamgold vote until June 29. He said his client could have a formal offer ready within two days.

Jim Douglas, counsel for five Iamgold shareholders with 15 per cent of its stock, said Iamgold's board and management had not only rejected Golden Star's overture but also prevented shareholders from seeing the rival offer.

The combined Canadian company, to be called Axiom Gold, would be owned 74 per cent by Wheaton shareholders and 26 per cent by Iamgold investors.

Wheaton River's board said Monday that this combination "continues to offer the best prospects for long-term value" and that Coeur has a history of losses.

Coeur d'Alene's Wheeler said it was "unfortunate" that the Wheaton River board refused to postpone its stockholder vote.

Wheaton River shares (TSX:WRM) were dropped one cent to close at $4.03 on the Toronto stock market Monday, while shares in Iamgold (TSX:IMG) rose seven cents to close at $7.77.

Of the $680 billion in cash that the Fed has in circulation, more than $400 billion, or nearly 60 percent, is outside the United States. That overseas supply, particularly in economically unstable regions, is the financial lifeblood of businesses, and even of pensioners who stow dollars in their mattresses. The authorities constantly monitor that supply to keep counterfeiters from tainting it, and hub banks like UBS play a pivotal role in ferreting out currency forgers.

Those billions overseas, however, also grease the wheels of more nefarious commerce - arms trafficking, smuggling and the timeless crafts of political and financial graft.

WHEN a United States Army sergeant broke through a false wall in a small building in Baghdad on a Friday afternoon a little over a year ago, he discovered more than three dozen sealed boxes containing about $160 million in neatly bundled $100 bills.Later that day, soldiers found more cash in other hideaways near the Tigris River, in an exclusive neighborhood that elite members of Saddam Hussein's government once called home. By the end of the evening, they had amassed 164 metal boxes, all riveted shut, that held about $650 million in shrink-wrapped greenbacks. The cash was so heavy, and so valuable, that the Army needed a C-130 Hercules cargo plane to airlift it to a secure location.
