“The clamor for retail investors to get hold of precious-metals coins is about to get more urgent. The U.S. Mint said Wednesday it’s temporally halting production at its West Point facility in New York because of the risk to employees from the coronavirus. … The shutdown comes as convulsive swings in financial markets spur a surge in demand among retail investors for precious metals as haven assets. Last month, the Mint said it sold out of American Eagle silver coins, while the gold coins it offers were snapped up in March at the fastest pace in over three years.”
USAGOLD note: We referenced this report in this morning’s DMR and repost it here for those who may have missed it. When we received notice of the stoppage, we were able to secure new inventory of gold American Eagle and Buffaloes, silver American Eagles and 100-ounce silver bars – all in limited numbers and at reasonable premiums. As you may already know, most of our competitors are out of stock on these items. Needless to say, there is no assurance we can continue to secure inventory under these circumstances. If you have an interest please contact us – first-come/first-served.

“The stock market, home of optimists everywhere, is doing very well at present. But gold, where pessimists find a home, is doing even better. In dollars, the shiny metal closed on Tuesday at its highest since 2012. The all-time high is in sight, and it has gained more than 60% since its nadir in 2015.”
USAGOLD note: John Authers enlists his considerable analytical skills to explain what gold might be telling us about the economy and the stock market. “A rising gold price,” he says, “is always a disquieting sign.” The charts below show the performances of gold and stocks over the past 12 months and year to date.
