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, […]
Last week wasn’t a good one in the precious metals market, with all the main prices registering a loss. Palladium did come very close to holding its value over the period but the others all dropped, sometimes sharply. The main cause seems to have been a generally good week for equities, with the Dow Jones […]
Last week was, again, a mixed one in the precious metals market but overall perhaps slightly better than the one before. Gold and platinum slid fractionally but not enough to worry about just yet, silver took a bigger dip and rhodium was the week’s main loser, but palladium finished comfortably ahead and by the close […]
Last week was another very mixed one for precious metals, with most of the key prices falling through the period then recovering sharply on Friday. Gold and palladium finished slightly up over where they were the week before, silver ended slightly down, platinum looked healthier and yet again rhodium barely moved. It’s hard to take […]
Last week was a slightly mixed one for the precious metal sector; silver fell and rhodium didn’t go anywhere, but all the other main commodities managed to rise to some extent. While the drop in silver prices was disappointing it was a reasonable week overall, and the situation in the wider economy has left many […]
Last week was a very mixed one for precious metals. The platinum group performed poorly, with rhodium going nowhere and palladium losing value. Gold and silver, however, both managed to climb again, raising hopes that a more positive trend could be establishing itself there. There’s still a lot of volatility both in the metals sector […]
Last week looked much better for precious metals than the two that went before, with every price managing to rise except palladium and rhodium, and silver doing particularly well. The gains made weren’t enough to fully recover from recent losses but they did make up a big chunk of it and shifted the sector in […]
On the face of it last week was another disappointing week for precious metals, with four of the five key prices falling again and the last one staying static. It wasn’t quite as bad as the week before, though – none of the losses were as large, and starting Wednesday there were some signs of […]
In another sign of continuing volatility, last week saw every single major precious metal take a dive – some of them dramatic. Unusually this all happened against a background of falling equities markets and a static oil price; the conditions should have been right for some good performances from metals, especially gold and silver which […]
Last week was a more positive one for precious metals, with only rhodium losing value and all the other major commodities making at least some gains. Overall market conditions are still highly volatile and we’ve seen all the prices switch between up and down movements this year; no long-term trends are clear at the moment. […]
Last week wasn’t a good one for the precious metals market, a fact which didn’t surprise many analysts. With the Eurozone’s latest Greek debt crisis switching attention to bonds and currency speculation and the equities market performing reasonably well demand for bullion as an investment as bound to be low, and that’s how it turned […]
Last week was more mixed for precious metals than the one before, with no clear trend across the market; some prices rose well, some dropped and not all of them did either. It’s not easy to pick out any clear message from the week’s activity but overall it left us feeling quite positive, especially for […]
For the second week in a row the precious metals market has turned in a weak performance, with most prices falling again. The only exceptions were rhodium, which once more managed to rise, and palladium. However we’re still not feeling too pessimistic, as the general economic climate suggests metals are going to be in increasing […]
Precious metals lost steam again last week, a disappointment after their much better performance earlier in the month. The only one to gain value was rhodium, with all the rest showing a loss to some extent. Even among the losers performance was inconsistent though, with some taking much more of a hit than others. Overall […]
Overall it was another generally good week for precious metals, with continued progress for the two big sellers and a better performance from most of the platinum group, although platinum itself flagged slightly. This all fits with our opinion that the sector is still undervalued and should expect further gains over the next few weeks; […]
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, […]
