Australian Bullion Sales Mixed in April, Perth Mint Reports

The Perth Mint’s bullion sales were mixed in April, with gold products gaining from March as silver products fell to their lowest monthly total in eight months. Precious metals prices were volatile throughout the month, though both gold and silver still ended higher.

LBMA figures in U.S. dollars show gold rising 0.1%, or $3, to $4,611.35 an ounce in April, while silver advanced 1.2%, or 86 cents, to $73.55 an ounce.

John O’Donoghue, The Perth Mint’s General Manager Institutions and Business Solutions, said April’s market volatility kept investors focused on geopolitical developments and currency movements.

“Volatility remained a defining feature of the market in April, with investors closely watching developments in the Middle East and movements in the Australian dollar,” O’Donoghue said. “This environment is reinforcing the role of precious metals as a portfolio stabiliser, even as short-term pricing fluctuates.”
