The most popular precious metals that people turn to for investment are gold and silver. People traditionally buy gold as a “safe haven” against trying economic times – it is relatively invulnerable to things like economic and even currency-based crises. Whenever the market declines, the national debt increases, inflation occurs or a currency happens to fail, gold offers an excellent level of protection and remains one of the most consistent stores of value available. This is especially true when the “go to” monetary solution of the day is simply to “print more.” When these activities occur, investors turn to the safety of gold and other commodities to protect their wealth.

• Gold and Silver is an excellent store of value with intrinsic utility
• Gold is a highly effective method of portfolio diversification that can protect wealth, as a hedge against inflation and the long-term trend of declining fiat currencies
• The growing instability of the global economy and risk of future world tensions
• Gold and Silver are finite resources (due to supply and demand)
• Gold and Silver is something real that you can hold in your hand (if you can’t touch it you don’t own it)

The gold spot price is the current price at any given moment used to determine the rate for a single troy ounce of gold. The gold spot price is dictated by market speculators, world events, currency values and an array of additional factors. Gold spot price serves as the basis for bullion dealers and gold traders to pinpoint the buying and selling price for a specific gold bar or gold coin. Such prices can be dynamic, changing every few seconds when the markets are open.

When you see the price of gold quoted on live gold charts and spot price websites, it is most commonly quoted per troy ounce in American dollars (USD). However, it is also possible to obtain a gold price quote per kilo or gram.

The gold and silver prices listed on our website are ‘spot prices’ (quoted in USD and NZD). Spot prices are used in relation to pricing of futures contracts of securities, typically commodities. In pricing commodity futures, the futures price is determined using the commodity’s spot price, the risk free rate and time to maturity of the contract (along with any costs associated with storage or convenience). As with all futures, you pay above the spot price for the physical product (mining, manufacturing, storage, insurance, etc). We don’t sell options, futures, contracts, shares, ETF’s, or certificates – only physical gold and silver bullion that you are responsible for storing. For more information on how gold prices work visit our charts and prices page.

You can view live gold and silver ‘spot prices’ on our charts and prices page in NZD/USD.

Price ranges to buy gold and silver products can be found on each product page (in NZD and BTC). For an overview of all types of coins and bars we offer, please click here for gold bullion products, and here for silver bullion products.

Gold and silver bullion trade above international spot prices because of the following costs: refining, bar manufacturer, delivery of the bullion and dealer overheads. Some bullion products trade with an additional premium due to being internationally recognised, scarce or simply desirable. MyGold® prices are not set at a specific percentage above spot for these reasons.

Occasionally MyGold® offers special deals on gold and silver bullion so we recommend signing up to the MyGold® Newsletter to be notified immediately of special offers.

Past performance can be a good indication of future performance. No one knows the future for gold prices or exchange rates, yet historically gold & silver bullion offers investors an excellent way to diversify and secure their wealth.

Customers are responsible for assessing and evaluating any transaction in light of their current financial situation, investment goals, and particular needs. The traditional advice from various experts has been to allocate 10% of your net worth to precious metals. However, gold and silver “bulls” are taking positions of 50% or greater. It helps to have a budget in mind because this allows us to present products that fit within your resources. Some clients choose to allocate holdings into precious metals as a type of savings plan. No order is too small or too large.

In New Zealand, there is no GST on the sale of pure gold bars/ingots, pure gold coins, pure silver bars/ingots, and pure silver coins. Bullion products that are not pure gold (99.9%/.999) do incur GST because they are not fine gold. This includes American Eagles (22ct/91.6%), South African Krugerrands (22ct), and British Gold Sovereigns (22ct). Taxes ultimately depend on your country of residence. We recommend you consult a financial advisor for any tax related enquiries.

MyGold® can suggest a range of options for secure storage of precious metals. Click here for more information on Storage.
