Paradox to future Precious Metal Price Peaks | Ned Naylor-Leyland

Welcome to this week’s Metals & Markets podcast, I am your host James Anderson of SD Bullion. This interview is being recorded at 10 AM eastern on Friday September 7th 2018.

With us this week is Ned Naylor-Leyland, a Gold & Silver Fund Manager at Old Mutual Global Investors.

A quick heads up on the latest news, as gold and silver prices close this week flat and slightly down from the end of last.

Gold spot is likely to close below the psychological $1,200 oz mark,
while Silver looks to finish this week at the low $14 oz level.

In terms of industry news in the middle of this holiday shortened week the US Mint announced it was temporarily sold out of 2018 Silver Eagle Coins. Then today, a similar communication was made for 2018 Gold Buffalo coins being temporarily sold out.

What most likely occurred here was the US Mint being caught flat footed with increased bullion buying demand from last month to today as precious metal spot prices have fallen.

More than likely they do not have enough planchets and thus inventory on hand to meet resurgent demand.

You can find two recent articles on Silver Doctors with more details about this story.

The good news for active bullion buyers out there, is that there does remain many high quality products available at all time low premium price points.

One obvious example is the following deal on Austrian Silver Philharmonics running through the end of this month at SD Bullion.
