Records Keep Tumbling as Bullion Surges

In This Week's Market Update:

The precious metal bull market has kicked into higher gear this week, with gold and silver now trading above AUD $4,500 and AUD $51.50 per troy ounce respectively.

Unsurprisingly, the spike in prices, and the economic backdrop in which it has occurred, has led to a notable uptick in turnover at ABC Bullion, as well as new account creations, with more and more investors deciding 2025 is the year to add bullion to their portfolio.

Recent price movements in the precious metal market were discussed in this just released Pod of Gold; “Gold’s Record High, Trump’s Tarriffs, and the Global Market Fallout”, featuring ABC Refinery’s Global Head of Institutional Markets, Nicholas Frappell.
