Gold and Silver Bullion Demand Very Robust - Delays and Premiums Rising
- Demand for physical gold this month at “a historically high level” – HSBC
- Q3 U.S. Mint gold sales set to dwarf those of previous two quarters
- Supply of physical silver “continues to be tight” and premiums rising
- China and India demand remains very strong
- Seasonal Asian buyers to add to demand in coming weeks
- Dovish Fed bullish for gold
Demand for physical gold and silver in
August and September has been exceptionally strong as investors seek a
safe-haven from market turmoil, as the global economy slows down and as
it becomes clear that the Federal Reserve and central banks generally
are slowly losing credibility and ultra loose monetary policies are set
to continue for the foreseeable future.

Note: Given
continuing and deepening delays for certain popular bullion coins and
bars and rising premiums we believe it is important to keep our clients
and subscribers aware of the most up to date premiums and availability.
The prices quoted are indicative and can change at any time. We continue
to be one of the most competitive bullion dealers internationally. The
premiums quoted are for smaller orders and there are volume discounts
and lower premiums on larger orders.
HSBC described gold demand from the U.S.
Mint as being at a “historically high level” which indeed it has been.
The bank report that the Mint has sold 322,000 ounces of gold in the
first half of this month.
Of
this, only 91,000 ounces were made up of Gold Eagle coins – the most
popular coin with retail investors – although some market participants
believe that some of the stock may be being accumulated by large
institutional investors.
And
yet, demand for gold eagles is still very strong with demand in Q3 set
to dwarf demand of the previous two quarters. With two weeks still to
go, total Gold Eagle coin sales have been a staggering 352,500 ounces.
That
compares with sales of 146,000 oz in Q1 and 127,000 oz in Q2. So far
this year Gold Eagle sales are almost 20% higher than last years total
sales of 524,500 oz.
Silver
eagle supply continues to be very tight with long delays and a lack of
clarity about when supply will be available again. Premiums on Eagles
have surged and some are selling for as much as 40% or more than $6 per
coin over spot. Dealers report “unprecedented” demand for large silver
bars.

Silver maples are on small weekly allocations and silver bars are
also becoming difficult to source in volume. The release of the 2016
Australian 1 oz silver .9999 Kangaroo, intended to compete with the
Eagle/Maple is already in such demand that the Perth Mint is rationing
supply to large dealers.
Production on other 2016 silver products has been delayed by the
Australian mint to maintain production levels on the Kangaroo due to
very strong global demand.
At the same time the traditional months of strong demand from Asia
are now ahead of us which will add even greater demand for gold in the
coming weeks. In India, gold demand will reach its peak later than
usual this year as Diwali falls in the second week of November.
Premiums for physical gold in China have risen from $4 per ounce to
as high as $6 this indicating very strong demand in China. As do
withdrawals from the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
The incredibly
strong demand for physical precious metals around the world continues to
be obscured by institutional selling of futures contracts on the COMEX.
The paper or electronic market continues to dominate the spot price for
now. But rising premiums and delays for popular bullion products
suggests that proper price discovery reflecting real world supply and
demand may be at hand.
However, it is
clear both from the enormous demand and from the shortages in the
precious metals markets that many investors are becoming nervous about
the markets and the state of the global economy.
We advise our
readers, as always, to acquire physical gold and to store it outside of
the banking system in safer jurisdictions internationally.
