We are proud to introduce to you the American Liberty 225th Anniversary Gold Coin minted in 2017 in celebration of the US Mint and their 225th anniversary.
For the first time in its minting history, the US has produced a $100 Proof High Relief coin. In 2015, the U.S. Mint issued a different $100 High Relief coin, but it was considered a Mint State coin as opposed to a Proof coin.
This coin also features a “Deep Cameo” look, which NGC calls “Ultra Cameo.” Deep Cameo means that the coin has a fully frosted finish and has completely reflective fields.
American Liberty 225th Anniversary Gold Coins have a 100 Dollar denominational value and are minted in .9999 24–karat gold, in high–relief.

In this article, World Platinum Investment Council explores the theme of Platinum’s Correlation to Gold and what this suggests for Platinum Investors.
Platinum is a precious metal that is also industrial. As an investment asset, platinum’s value is influenced by its supply demand fundamentals and also the macro trends that affect precious metals. More investors are considering platinum’s macro responses when looking for an alternative to equities; this could increase platinum investment demand.
Market view: Gold is acknowledged as the investment asset least correlated with other investment classes. It’s called a currency more often than a commodity but yet it is included in many commodity indices.
Our view: Platinum remains in lockstep with gold and consequently offers similar benefits. The sustained high correlation between the price of platinum and the price of gold since 2011 suggests that platinum offers investors an alternative investment that is ‘as good as gold’.
Many investors looking for asset classes largely to diversify risk, consider commodities or gold. Gold is included in many portfolios as a hedge against macro events, global risk, interest rates, inflation, etc., and is reliably traded on macro trends — more particularly those that directly impact the US dollar.
Platinum offers similar qualities. When (or ‘if’ as critics suggest) platinum shrugs off the negative sentiment that currently overwhelms its supply demand fundamentals, this diversifier also offers interesting upside, in our view, but remains ‘as good as gold’ until then.

The answer is yes.
And not only just Gold; Silver, Platinum and Palladium bullion are safe haven assets as well. During turbulent times such as rising geopolitical tensions in key countries, investors are inclined to seek these metals for their financial portfolio.
Recently, a paper done by Dr. Brian Lucey and Dr. Sile Li from the Trinity Business School was published and examined the following topic: “Reassessing the Role of Precious Metals as Safe Havens – What Color is Your Haven and Why?”. The results?
This article extends previous literature and examines time varying safe haven properties versus equities and bonds of four precious metals (gold, silver, platinum and palladium) across eleven countries. Results suggest that the metals each play safe haven roles; there are times when one metal is not while another may be a safe haven against an asset.”
In sum, precious metals provided protection at different times across countries. No precious metal provides safe haven status consistently, over time or across asset classes. Strong safe haven status is rare. (Li, Sile and Lucey, Brian M. 2017)

OUR TAKE:
Commercials continued to decrease their long positions while increasing their shorts positions by -424 contracts and 13,652 contracts respectively during the period of 8/8/2017 to 15/8/2017. Gold rallied 2% to reach the 1290 level, a level last seen in June. This is the first time in 4 weeks that Commercials increased their shorts position significantly. The last time this happened, Gold rallied as well.
(Focus is only on the Producer/Merchant/Processor/User as they are hedgers and Gold producers. Non Commercials refer to CTAs and fund managers who trade (speculate) professionally. Commercial hedgers usually hold an edge over the speculators in the long run due to their “stronger hand” advantage and are usually reliable indicators of trend changes)

An overview of the report:
This article tackles investors’ concern on the negative impact that powertrain electrification would have on platinum demand. Recently, an announcement was made for the Ultra Low Emission Zone in London. This is a plan set to ban sales of new diesel and petrol cars by 2040 to reduce air pollution.
Excerpt from Platinum Perspectives July 2017:
We believe the market is overestimating the negative impact of powertrain electrification (moving to EVs) on platinum demand. We explain why EVs represent only a limited risk to platinum demand (even excluding potential demand upside from Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles, or FCEVs).
Market assumption:EVs don’t contain platinum. Some market participants confuse EVs and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). For example, Volvo’s announcement that it would be producing only ‘electric’ cars post 2019 was significantly misinterpreted by many press sources.
Our view: In fact; Volvo committed to producing only cars that have an electric motor. This will include five new BEVs, the balance being hybrids, which can have gasoline or diesel internal combustion engines, and require platinum group metals (PGMs). Given mild hybrids are expected to gain significant market share, it is likely that most of Volvo’s cars will contain PGMs, post 2019 and in the foreseeable years to come. Different types of EVs have significantly different effects on platinum demand.
Conclusion – most EVs contain PGMs. “Electrification” (e.g. as defined by Volvo) may not have a negative effect on platinum demand. Diesel share is more important; our June 2017 Platinum Perspectives explains why we believe diesel share may be higher for longer.

Extracted from World Platinum Investment:
Platinum Quarterly is commissioned by the World Platinum Investment Council and based upon independent research and analysis conducted by SFA (Oxford). It is our intention to publish similar commentary every quarter ensuring greater transparency of the global platinum market and the delivery of regular data to investors.
The next Platinum Quarterly will be published on 6th September 2017.
This eleventh edition of the Platinum Quarterly, published on 15th May 2017, includes Q1 2017 analysis of platinum supply and demand fundamentals. It also gives a view of the global above ground stocks of platinum and an outlook for market fundamentals for 2017.
An overview of this report
This report incorporates analysis of platinum supply and demand during the first quarter of 2017, during which time total mine supply hit 1,330 koz, down 6.3% year-on-year and the lowest since Q3 2014.
- Today’s report shows that overall platinum supply is projected to fall by 2% year-on-year to 7,330 koz in 2017, with both primary and secondary supply expected to decline.
- Recycling is projected to fall by 6% year-on-year to 1,760 koz in 2017. Secondary supply from jewellery recycling is projected to decline by 20% year- on-year with recycling trends normalising following unusually large stock flows in China last year.
- Automotive demand for 2016 and 2017 is revised upward by 45 koz. The revisions reflect higher than expected global vehicle sales with increased loadings, while greater scrutiny of emissions is also believed to be limiting moves to thrift platinum loadings.
- Global platinum ETF holdings grew by 65 koz in the first quarter, with increases observed across most regions. ETF assets in the quarter were at their highest level since the fourth quarter of 2015. Bar and coin demand during the first three months of 2017 was supported by the minting of 20,000 one- ounce US American Eagle bullion coins in January, all of which were sold in just three days. Overall platinum investment demand is now projected to be 250 koz this year.
- Global platinum jewellery demand for the quarter increased 3% year-on-year, buoyed by increased Chinese retail sales during the quarter. However, global jewellery demand for 2017 is forecast to slip 1% from 2016, with anticipated declines in China and Japan outweighing gains in India and other regions.
- The platinum market is expected to be broadly balanced over the year, with a deficit of 65 koz in 2017 predicted. Above Ground Stocks are expected to end the year at 1,885 koz, a 3% fall on 2016, but more than 54% down from 2012.

Do let us know how you feel about the new website by submitting your feedback via our contact us page!
2017 looks to be marked by uncertainty as what we’ve come to know as the “new normal” gets disrupted again. At a time when people are losing faith in political systems, precious metals now have a chance to play their unique role as safe haven investments. For those who observe cycles, the timing couldn’t be better as gold, having peaked around $1,920/oz in 2011, looks set to swing out of the low of $1,045/oz seen in 2015.
Through this time, we at GoldSilver Central have seen steady, robust demand for physical bars and coins in gold, silver and platinum. Singapore has a pro-business environment stemming from pragmatic regulation and close collaboration between government and industry. Operating out of such an economically sound and financially stable jurisdiction allows us to focus on creating the best products to meet all your precious metals investing needs. As the premier precious metals hub in Asia, the appetite for buying physical gold, silver and platinum from Singapore and the demand for storage of these products remains strong.

As the name suggests, this is a savings and accumulation product that allows you to acquire physical gold, silver and/or platinum in a gradual, cost-efficient manner. The use of dollar cost averaging allows you to buy precious metals at regular intervals at a fixed amount in dollars, regardless of the current price of gold, silver and/or platinum. Everything is automated and at the end of the savings cycle, the coins or bars that have been accumulated are yours to keep. Why stop at coins and bars? Going forward, we’ll add gold jewellery and other gold items to the product mix for you to take home or even to wear.
Hi customers! We would just like to highlight a very important point for all physical Gold, Silver and Platinum investors. Recently there were cases of counterfeit/fake gold bars in Singapore, and we came across this article which featured a “Real 24K Gold Plated CREDIT SUISSE Layered Bullion Gold Bar” for sale.
Here, for comparison, we have taken raw unedited photos of our Credit Suisse Gold Bar for your reference. Immediately, one can notice that the font type for the serial number is different between the 2 bars.
As always, please purchase your physical precious metals from an authorized distributor to avoid being a victim of fake metal deals.
