Use XAUGBP for gold.

On which System? Trading view?

I don’t use the RM. The ticker on the TSF is good but for a basket of investments I use the trading view app on my iPhone which has a live feed for free.

Hello Big Boy!

1710! Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit!

Honestly, I expected a different message from the Fed and gold to be at 1675….. Good to be wrong

1702.

Gold steady GBP1696 Bitcoin continues to decline at USD62k.

It’s a very good article, and summed up well in the last paragraph. But the FOMC will be interesting at 1800 U.K. time

This is, for me is a breach of trust between the RM and the bidders. You enter into a silent auction on the basis that it is silent, and no one knows the outcome until the end. Another term is “sealed bid” auction. However in this case it is though the RM is essentially opening the sealed bids and manipulating the process to their own advantage. Given the lack of transparency as you would get in an open auction, how do you even know that when you get a mail to say “you are not the highest bidder” is true? I am not alleging that this has happened, but I would very much not want to be part of any process that is run like this.

Gold stable while Bitcoin declines significantly.

Got to keep paying for those Civil Servant index linked pensions….

You make a good point on the mintage numbers. I see more Half Sovs from Sydney and Melbourne mints that have way lower mintages than I do 1859 Ansell’s. Perhaps there was a re-melt of some of the 250k?

Like you, I have not found a sleeper but they do come up for sale reasonably regularly. There will be some out there waiting to be discovered but this variation is pretty well k own and something a lot of folk look for.

Silver just woke up…. GBP19.47

Not bad given the USD / GBP rate.

Whilst I collect errors, I don’t have enough confidence that this is genuine. I particularly don’t like the peeling gold at the very bottom of the obverse side.

Let me share a secret. Buy low, sell high.

All eyes on the US inflation (CPI) report today. 1230 U.K. time I think. Higher than expected = gold down Middle of expectations = meh Lower than expected = gold up

Open outcry trading doesn’t really happen any more…

Ok gents - what is going to happen at the Asia open and Europe open tomorrow?

Hi All I have been thinking about the price of gold in the context of the following that has happened this year: - Massive flows out of gold backed ETF’s in 2024 - Massive rise of BTC price since Jan 24 - Both of the above after Bitcoin ETF’s were made available - and making BTC more liquid to a wider group of “investors” Essentially a lot of ETF holders are liquidating their positions. Is this money heading into BTC ETF’s? At least two things could be happening: - Investors want physical gold and are therefore ditching ETF’s and buying physical - Investors are selling out of Gold ETF’s and into BTC ETF’s to ride the BTC price rises. There are of course other factors, but for me at least, I cannot see why Gold lags BTC in either physical form or ETF’s in terms of price rises. Seasoned investors are predicting BTC will hit USD300k before long. But why? BTC in an ETF is not usable as currency it’s just a bet. So what is going on with the prices of Gold and BTC and why the disparity? I doubt central banks are buying BTC - they want gold as a “hard” asset. Thoughts? Best Dicker
