In the third quarter of 2015, demand for bars and coins sky-rocketed as global investors were eager to grab a bargain whilst metal prices remained low.
This phenomenal surge didn’t go unnoticed at The Perth Mint, with more than 2.7 million of its new Australian Kangaroo 1oz silver bullion coins selling out in record time ahead of its official launch in September.
In contrast to the interest in coins, Exchange Trade Fund (ETF) gold holdings declined during the quarter, reflecting their predominately professional investor ownership. Silver ETF holdings, however, held up, which is a result of their mostly retail ownership.
The Perth Mint has joined us as a major partner to promote the critical role the precious metal sector plays in the Western Australian economy.
