There’s still no end in sight for the seemingly endless slide of precious metal prices. All five metals dropped last week, and the falls were sharp right across the board. Firstly, the gold price. After an initial dip, then a brief midweek rally, gold plummeted on Friday when the US markets opened. Overall it dropped […]
Once again precious metals have had a bad week. The only one to buck the trend was gold; everything else lost value, even in the face of a wobbling stock market. The excitement all seems to be in forex and oil right now, and metals are being dumped across the board. It’s worrying if you […]
This has been a bad week for all the precious metals with the exception of rhodium; everything else lost value, and in the case of silver the losses were worse than anything we’ve seen for quite a while. The gold price dropped right through the $1,225 mark, where some analysts expected support to show up, […]
This has been a very bad week for precious metals, with all of the main ones seeing nothing but downward movement right through the period. In every case except palladium and rhodium we’re seeing at least a three-month low, and for gold and platinum the spot price is its lowest in more than six months. […]
Yet again the market seems to have turned against precious metals last week, with spot prices down right across the board. This was a surprise to many analysts as the previous period closed with some definite signs of movement in the right direction, and no reason to expect a renewed fall. Despite that, most prices […]
The last week was a lot more promising for precious metals, and definitely a huge step forward from the week before. The best news was a turnaround in both gold and silver, in silver’s case ending a six-week negative run. The gains weren’t massive but for both metals it’s looking like they’ve landed on solid […]
Last week wasn’t a good one for precious metals, with the partial exception of palladium; we saw prices drop almost across the board, sometimes sharply. Gold in particular is now hovering close to its anticipated support level and we’re just waiting to see if it will dip lower or start to bounce back. The main […]
It’s been another mixed week for metal investors, with no clear direction in the market overall. The uncertain international situation is definitely at least partly to blame, but can’t explain everything we’ve been seeing recently. Generally precious metals as a group have a clear direction even if there’s some individuality within it but this week […]
This has been a very unsettled week in the precious metals market, with most of the key commodities reversing last week’s track. Silver was the main exception, with a continuing fall taking it down to its lowest weekly close since mid-June. In general there were a few surprises for everyone. Some of the moves make […]
Overall it’s not been the best week in the precious metal markets, with the gold price, silver prices, platinum and even palladium all seeing sharp falls. The timing on this was slightly surprising, too – we’ve been half expecting a drop any time in the past few weeks, while equity prices were rising steadily and […]
This week has been an unsettled one for precious metals, with repeated price swings but no major movement at the end of the period. Silver and gold both rose as soon as the markets opened on Monday; gold then went into a gradual fall while silver prices stayed close to the week’s high – until […]
Many analysts have been looking at the market and wondering how precious metal prices have been managing to stay so firm in the current economy. The last week has answered a few of those questions, with the gold price, silver prices and platinum all losing ground. All three metals started falling on Monday, and despite […]
It’s been a fairly good week for both the main precious metals, with gold and silver both up around 1.5 per cent on the last period. In fact the spot price graphs for the pair look almost identical, with a slight dip after trading opened on Monday, a rally on Tuesday and a steady climb […]
There’s been little movement on precious metal prices this week despite some daily peaks and troughs. Both silver and gold climbed on Tuesday after a weak start, fell back then rallied again towards the end of the period. Just like last week silver’s recovery looked stronger than gold, but both finished with spot prices very […]
The precious metal market has shown mixed performance this week, with modest overall gains following some more pronounced ups and downs. Both gold and silver opened well but then dropped sharply on Wednesday and Thursday. After that they picked up again, with silver managing to top its previous high but gold recovering more slowly. While […]
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, […]
