International Precious Metals

International precious metals just finished a decade of strong performance and are poised to take that success into the next decade as well. Led by gold and its nine year bull run, precious metals have provided a strong investment vehicle that still appears to have legs for further running.

Gold’s performance has been nothing short of impressive. For the decade, gold has increased nearly 300%, starting its run in positive economic times and ending the decade with a financial crisis fueling its success. Gold minted by countries throughout the world has performed well in bullion, with the spot gold price hitting its all-time high and top grade collector’s coins reaching into the millions of dollars.

Several factors are pushing the optimism for gold and other precious metals forward as well. Central banks have become net buyers of gold, meaning that they are looking to add to their reserves. In addition, many have moved away from hedging, which in a sense says that they see gold prices increasing.

The United States dollar is no longer a strong investment for many banks and countries. This means that gold and other precious metals will likely be held not only as an investment, but also as a hedge against inflation.

With significant minting of such coins as Canadian Maple Leafs, Australian Philharmonics, Austrian Coronas, Chinese Pandas, French Roosters and South Africa Krugerrands, international precious metals come from a number of sources for delivery worldwide. Precious metal prices have investors excited and appear primed to rise in the near future.
