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 […]

Gold & Silver Market 11-23-2015
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 […]
Gold & Silver Market 11-17-2015
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, […]
Gold & Silver Market 11-12-2015
There’s no question about it; last week wasn’t a good one for precious metals. Every benchmark across the sector fell with losses pushing past 5 percent for both gold and silver. Does this signal a collapse? We don’t think so just yet. Looking at other markets it looks like a general reluctance to invest was […]
Gold & Silver Market 11-1-2015
After some recent gains for precious metals last week was less impressive, with falling values right across the sector. In general the losses weren’t serious, though – enough to be noticed, not enough to signal a renewed slide in the market. Based on the performance of equities it was a normal investor response to climbing […]
Gold & Silver Market 10-24-2015
There was a definite decline in the precious metals sector last week, with most prices slightly down. That included the headline commodities, gold and silver, although performance in the platinum group was more mixed. The obvious reason for the fall in metals is a good week on the equities markets that saw the FTSE 100 […]
Gold & Silver Market 10-17-2015
Last week must have had quite a few precious metal investors celebrating. Once again we saw almost every price climbing over the period, and while the size of the gains varied it’s still nice to see so many of them heading in the right direction. Again metals managed to make progress despite the Dow Jones […]
Gold & Silver Market 10-10-2015
Last week was a generally good one for the precious metal sector; we saw every spot price rising apart from one conspicuous exception, which of course was rhodium. In fact it was a good week for markets as a whole, with equities also performing strongly and even some signs of life in crude oil. It’s […]
Gold & Silver Market 10-3-2015
We saw a wide range of movements across the precious metals sector last week, with some up, some down and one – rhodium, to nobody’s surprise – not going anywhere at all. On balance it looks like a pretty good performance though, because there weren’t any really major drops despite it being a generally good […]
Gold & Silver Market 9-27-2015
Last week was a very mixed one for precious metals with some prices up, others down and some not really going anywhere. It’s been yet another turbulent week for the global economy and equities have taken a battering. First there were more disappointing Chinese manufacturing growth figures, then the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal; between them […]
Gold & Silver Market 9-20-2015
Last week turned out to be a much better one for the precious metals market, with prices recovering almost everywhere. The exception was rhodium, which probably isn’t a huge surprise, but all the other headline metals managed to make reasonable gains. That’s not completely unexpected; after the recent chaos across most markets it’s not surprising […]
Gold & Silver Market 9-13-2015
Global financial markets are still turbulent, and that continues to affect the precious metals sector. Last week saw mixed results, with silver again managing to hold its value and palladium managing to gain, while the other key spot prices all headed down. In general it’s too confused a picture to identify any real trends, but […]
Gold & Silver Market 9-6-2015
Last week was another unsettling one for global markets, and again it affected the precious metal sector. Every spot price fell, although silver was barely affected. Looking at the overall situation it doesn’t look like the slip in prices was any issue with precious metals themselves, so much as a general failure of investor confidence. […]
Gold & Silver Market 8-30-2015
Last week was a mixed one for precious metals, with gold and silver down significantly but generally lower drops across the platinum group. In the background to these movements was the most disruptive week on the equities markets since the 2008 crash, with China’s economic troubles sending waves of chaos through the exchanges through at […]
Gold & Silver Market 8-23-2015
Last week was a mixed one for precious metals with three of the key commodities – including gold and silver – seeing respectable price rises, while some losses hit the platinum group. The main driver for the gains looks to have been the freefall in equities, which saw most exchanges around the world sliding fast […]
Gold & Silver Market 8-16-2015
After an unimpressive few weeks in the precious metal market it was good to see a much healthier performance last week. Every one of the main metals managed to gain value, probably thanks to a bad week on the stock exchanges. We’re not ready to predict a sustained recovery just yet but with the way […]
