Gold demand showed a healthy increase in the third quarter according to a report released by the World Gold Council.
Total gold demand in Q3 stood at 1, 121 tons, an increase of 8% compared to the third quarter of 2014.
Global investment demand helped drive the overall increase. It surged 27% to 230 tons, primarily on the strength of gold bar and gold coin purchases. In the US, bar and coin demand hit the highest total in five years, up a whopping 207% to 33 tons. Gold Eagle coin sales are at the highest level since the financial crisis.

The Silver Institute has released its October issue of Silver News. This edition spotlights the continuing demand for silver bullion coins, highlighting the fact that the US Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, Australia’s Perth Mint, the Austrian Mint, and the British Royal Mint recently all put their silver bullion coins on allocation at the same time.
Although individual mints, especially the US Mint, have gone to allocations in past years, most recently when American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins sold out in July of this year, restriction from multiple mints at the same time is unprecedented and illustrates considerable tightness in the current global silver coin business."

This is no longer some wild conspiracy theory. The Treasury Secretary is saying it. Congress is saying it. The numbers are screaming it: Social Security is going to fail.

After a year of anticipating a Federal Reserve interest rate hike, all eyes are on the Fed’s December meeting. There are two obvious outcomes: the Fed does raise interest rates or it does not. In his November Gold Videocast, Peter Schiff explains why both scenarios are bullish for gold. Peter points to the behavior of gold under both Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker as proof that a rising interest rate environment isn’t automatically bearish for the yellow metal. On the other hand, if the Fed continues to delay raising interest rates, investors will begin to realize their expectations were ill-founded and reconsider their positions in gold and silver.
Either way, investors who have been waiting to buy should thank the Fed for extending the opportunity to buy gold for less than $1,100 an ounce.
