Gold investors, like anyone else can be swayed by the stereotypes they see in the news and in the e-mail chains they receive. I still believe that there has been a "Obama" bubble in gold. Thanks in large part to extreme buying on the part of The University of Texas endowment fund gold shot up from $700 to $1,800. The speculation that followed this whale of a buyer added to the run-up. It was not based in economic policy, but in the fact that Obama was in the White House. After all, inflation has been very low in the past 10 years. Now that he is on his way out and Trump on his way in, the opposite reaction is being acted upon. They are all selling gold. It has nothing to do with economic policy, since we have no idea what Trump is going to do.

I'd like to see what the gold coin sales were for the preceeding 2 or 3 months. Nothing traded in the week before the election so I believe the chart is misleading (purposely).
And what is the scaling? Did sales go from 3 coins to 30 coins? Extremely misleading chart.
Metals are back to a bear market for now, it really makes no difference if retail investors/stackers are buying physical, that's more of a inverse relationship anyway. Eventually, sooner or later, there will be a decent chance to by cheap, imo.

US mint verifies gold eagle sales soared post-election in 2016 even though the paper price has been hammered. Looks like Zero Hedge was right at least once. lol.
From the mint data:
NOV sales of AGE ounces increased 252% over AUG sales, 156% over SEP sales and 127% over OCT sales.
NOV sales of AGE coins increased 221% over AUG sales, 136% over SEP sales and 129% over OCT sales.
OPA, add the US Mint to your sites to ignore.

Yup, looks like there was an increase and not just due to seasonality. Sales have since collapsed?
It would be nice if ZH had linked a source. How do they get the daily numbers? Does the increase fall within the range of normalcy...has the size of the increase happened before?
Has the India deal had a larger impact on gold prices?
wrong, the FED is gold's best friend. And this is why it does not matter who the king is.

the king doesn't spend the money. The people you sent to congress do. You and coho might want to study up on the fiscal aspect of Washington and reconsider who you send.

I think its on its way back under $1,000.
