Last week wasn’t a great one for precious metals, with all five of the main prices heading down. Gold and silver rallied midweek but in the platinum group that didn’t happen. This across the board downturn tied in with a drop in US share prices and revised quarter one growth figures that showed the American […]
Last week saw prices fall across the preciou smetals sector, with all the major benchmarks losing value except rhodium. It’s not all bad news though. Only palladium is below where it was two weeks ago, and then only fractionally. Most of the losses happened early in the week and by Wednesday prices were stabilizing, with […]
Many new investors and coin collectors believe that their one ounce silver coin is the same weight as one ounce of salami from the grocery store. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. In modern day society, everything around you that is weighed is more than likely measured in a system of weight known as avoirdupois. When […]
For simplicity’s sake, when it comes to buying and selling bullion, the United States Government wants to know two things: if you are laundering money, or if you are avoiding taxes. With that being said, the reporting for bullion is more stringent on the selling side than on the buying side. For a detailed guide […]
Last week was a mixed one for precious metals but overall we’d say it was a positive one, with significant price increases for gold and silver and, apart from rhodium, some promising activity in the platinum group as well. Conditions across other markets have been mixed, with equities falling through Wednesday then rising again, while […]
Our new customers frequently ask this question when they’re looking to invest in silver. And for the most part, they can’t really go wrong. Investors who buy silver bars are already in a product with a lower premium (silver bars typically are cheaper than silver coins) so choosing a silver bar mainly has to do […]
Last week was good overall for precious metals; while rhodium fell slightly all the others made gains. Some of them were small but palladium had a reasonably good week, and some positive trends seem to be emerging from the earlier confusion. There’s a lot of volatility in other markets right now, but metals seem to […]
A lot of discussion among metals traders last week was about gold, which fell spectacularly from Monday through to Friday, but in fact it was a fairly good week overall. Most prices managed to climb slightly and a lot of the damage done the previous period was reversed. Faltering oil prices may have helped this, […]
One ounce gold bars are a staple of gold investing. When customers want to get a cheaper premium and avoid gold coins, they often ask what is the best gold bar to purchase. In that conversation, PAMP Suisse is almost always mentioned. This is because PAMP bars are among the most recognized gold bars in […]
Coin collectors always have one eye on the bullion value of their coins and may also directly collect bullion in the form of gold, silver and platinum coins and bars. The last few weeks have been turbulent times indeed for all kinds of investors. Cryptocurrencies collapsed, and now seem to be reviving, thanks in part […]

The precious metals sector was confusing last week, with a mixed bag of performances and no clear pattern visible. The two big investment items, gold and silver, didn’t show a lot of movement. Neither did platinum, while palladium managed to rise. With the equities markets also rising quite strongly, propelled mostly by gains in defense […]

Once again there were disappointing results right across the precious metals sector last week, although the scale of losses varied. Overall it was a worrying period, because metals managed to lose ground even though the equities markets fell heavily. Normally we’d have expected to see metals make a lot of ground in these market conditions, […]
