Prediction & outlook
- Gold: up 30.4% over 12 months, upward over the last quarter (+7.5%), currently 13.4% below its 12-month high.
- Silver: up 68.6% over 12 months, sideways over the last quarter (-0.1%), currently 32.8% below its 12-month high.
- Momentum reading: when both metals hold above their 12-month midpoint, dealer premiums on coins typically firm up — a good window to sell scrap; when they sit near the 12-month low, buyers of bullion usually get better entry pricing.
