United States Mint updates gold pricing on gold coin

The United States Mint establishes pricing on numismatic gold coins via its pricing grid, and updates were published July 1 in the Federal Register.

The LBMA closing spot price of gold per troy ounce June 30 was $3,287.45. If the average spot price were to remain at that level until the week of sales opening, the pricing grid predicts that the Mint would set the opening sale price at $2,150 for the Sacagawea 25th Anniversary half-ounce gold dollar and at $2,650 for the Superman half-ounce gold $50 coin.

    Silver Continues to Pressure Upside

    During the trading on Friday, we saw the silver market initially dip, only to turn around and show signs of strength yet again. Because of this, I think the market is likely to continue to be bullish.

    In general, this is a market that’s been in an uptrend for quite some time and if we are in fact going to continue to see inflationary issues, things like silver, commodities and stuff could get a little bit of a bid. We’ll just have to wait and see.

    Copper trade up to $US10,046.50 a ton

    Copper traded on the London Metal Exchange has jumped 14 per cent this year and reached $US10,046.50 a tonne on Thursday, the highest since October.

    “Traders are redirecting the metal from Asia to take advantage of the price premium and skirt any potential tariffs on the metal,” said ANZ senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes.

    “The US copper rush could leave the rest of the world tight on copper if demand picks up more quickly than expected,” said ING commodity strategist Ewa Manthey.

    “Incredible demand for physical gold” in New York Markets

    “There is incredible demand for physical gold in New York markets,” said Peter Spina, president and founder of gold news and information provider GoldSeek.com., referring to it as a “physical gold rush.”

    “Those who are caught short physical metal are looking around and seeing a window closing here,” he said. They’re “desperately seeking physical metal before the price could jump overnight.”

    “Meeting a surge in demand will always stretch capacity, but London vaults have been working overtime to service this London-New York flow,”

    Customer wait times on mint coins addressed

    In less than five hours June 13, collectors and the public at large placed sufficient orders to exhaust the maximum authorized mintage of 100,000 Proof 2025-W American Eagle, 250th Anniversary United States Army privy-marked 1-ounce silver dollars,  launched for sale at $105 per coin.

    The remaining 90,000 available for the June 13 sales launch were sold within five hours.

    “Almost immediately, we became aware of concerns regarding the wait times customers in the waiting room were receiving, with some customers initially receiving estimates of 8 hours to ‘more than a day.’ We also encountered issues with payment processing, which were exacerbated by bots and people trying to avoid the household order limits.

    For the waiting room, the Mint is looking for ways we can improve this customer experience. The waiting room looks at current traffic trends when calculating wait times.

  • US oil to China might not continue

    Oil flows from the United States to China in the early months of this year have reportedly added up to roughly 1% of the country’s imports, amid growing tariffs and trade risks.

    “With China imposing 84% tariffs on goods from the US, the cost of US crude would be almost double — $51 a barrel more expensive, based on $61 WTI,” Ivan Mathews, head of APAC analysis for Vortexa told Bloomberg. “This makes running US crude uneconomical for Chinese refiners.”

    US crude imports to China will “likely dwindle to zero in the coming months if the current tariff levels stay,” he added.
