Last week was a mixed one for the precious metal market; out of the five main prices three were up and two down. In volume terms it was solidly positive though, with gold and silver both gaining significantly and platinum picking up value too. Overall we think it was very positive; the big worry over […]
Precious metals turned in a disappointing performance in the period over New Year, but last week turned things around enough to leave most analysts feeling a lot better about the situation. By Friday there were solid rises across the sector with the exception of rhodium. Starting with gold, last week saw the spot price rise […]
The US economy seems to be on track, recovering steadily from the aftermath of the financial crisis, but there are still some reasons to be wary and one that’s causing a lot of concern is the strong dollar. This is good news for anyone who’s importing, but it’s much less good for US manufacturers trying […]
It was hard to pick up any clear trends in the precious metals market last week, with performances varying across the sector. Most were up a fraction but the two main metals didn’t really go anywhere at all. It was a confusing end to what’s been a pretty confusing year. On the other hand after […]
Last week’s news from the precious metals market is a lot more mixed than the one before, with gold and silver both down sharply – though not to their previous lows – and inconsistent performance across the platinum group – some gains, some inconclusive figures. Overall we’d say it comes down on the bad side […]
Overall last week was pretty good for precious metal investors, with most of the benchmark prices showing a healthy rise. There were some fluctuations through the week, with most of the gains being made on Monday and Tuesday; the second half of the period saw most prices slip back slightly. Still, after a poor run […]
Last week was another mixed one for precious metals; while gold and silver made modest gains all the platinum group metals lost value. The main driver for this seems to be a positive mood in the equities markets; we can’t see any other factors that might have pushed prices down. Firstly gold. While gold ended […]
After a fairly good mid-month perfoemance for the precious metal market, which seemed to signal an upturn, things went south again last week. Most of the benchmark metals fell and in some cases the decline was dramatic. Given the unexciting track record of equities over the same period it’s hard to be sure exactly what […]
Finally it’s good news right across the board for precious metal investors, with all the main commodities rising in price last week. That’s especially welcome for gold and silver, but the platinum group did well too. Couple that with generally good results in other market sectors and it looks like a real recovery might be […]
Last week saw the precious metals market looking much healthier than it did in the preceding period. While the platinum group saw dips across the board nothing fell significantly – not even silver, which has been struggling badly for the last few months. In fact both silver and gold managed to gain. The overall economic […]
Overall we’d have to say that last week wasn’t a good one for precious metal investors, with the exception of a limited recovery in the gold spot price. Apart from that all the major commodities were down, and gold’s upwards tick wasn’t enough to make up for that despite greater volumes. The long bear market […]
Last week was another very mixed bag for precious metal investors. Once again we saw falls in the key gold and silver prices, and these were a lot bigger than the preceding period. In fact silver in particular is back in as much trouble as it seemed to be in early October. On the other […]
Most analysts are having a hard time finding any clear direction in the precious metals market after last week. The bread and butter of the sector, gold and silver, saw small losses; the platinum group did slightly better. The uncertainty seems to have afflicted most market sectors, perhaps heralding a general loss of confidence, but […]
We were hoping to see a continued improvement in the precious metals market last week but, apart from gold, that didn’t really happen. It was far from being a disaster but with the exceptions of gold and rhodium all the key metals either stuck close to the week before or lost value, despite mediocre performance […]
The precious metals market has made pretty depressing reading for the last few weeks, but at last there’s been some movement in the right direction. Last week saw gains for everything except rhodium; silver and gold in particular are looking a lot healthier than they have done in a while. It’s much too early to […]
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, […]
