Buy and Sell Vaulted Gold, Silver and Platinum

BBC Newsday interviewed our founder, Gregor Gregersen, live at The Safe House, our vault within The Reserve, for a report on Singapore’s decision to open its national currency vault to foreign central banks. Gregor explained why investors hold physical gold to preserve wealth over the long term and what makes Singapore a trusted place to store it.

Paper trading sets silver’s price, but physical availability sets its limits. This article explores the shrinking buffer in London’s vaults, the forces that could trigger another shortage, and what the gold-to-silver ratio means for holders of physical bullion.

As US federal debt crosses $40 trillion and the Treasury intervenes in its own long-term debt market, investors are again turning to gold. Yet silver and platinum may offer the stronger relative-value case, with both metals trading more than 35% below their January records despite persistent supply deficits and increasingly constrained physical availability.

Silver is easy to buy again, but something has changed. The metal returning to the market is coming from investors and vaults, not from mines. Meanwhile, the country that played a big part in the last rescue has quietly changed the rules for the next one.
