Low sales volume in gold as I would expect to see on a normal Saturday. Still fairly strong sales volume in 100ozt silver bars though (for a Saturday).
 
I'll be curious to see the action tonight in Asia after the totally uncalled for smash down we got last week. I think the sharks are circling, Chinese sharks.

I didn't expect to see much sales volume for a Sunday reporting period, but there was pretty strong sales volume in all products.
 
The following report details changes from 2/18 @ ~7am to 2/19 @ ~7am:
  • 10 ozt gold bars - from 108 to 105. Pamp (-2), Perth (-1)

Looks like Apmex restocked gold (not silver) quite a bit on the dip, but in the brands where they didn't, there was evidence of strong sales volume.
 
The following report details changes from 2/21 @ ~7am to 2/22 @ ~6am:

  • 100 ozt silver bars - from 375 to 410. Apmex (-6), RCM (+5), JM "new" (+27), Englehard secondary market (+10), JM "vintage pressed" (-1 sold out)
The (10) Englehard secondary market 100ozt silver bars are listed as "pre-sale" with a shipping date of Feb. 27 (ie. they are not actually in stock).

Also, I checked and Tulving is completely sold out of 90% silver.
 
It's been 3 days since the last report.

Looks like strong sales volume for a weekend (even with Apmex's restocking of gold inventory). Very strong sales for silver bars.

Apmex raised premiums on the major brand 100ozt silver bars from $.10 to $.20 per ounce.

As noted in another thread, Tulving is currently sold out of JM and Englehard 100ozt silver bars.

Very strong sales for 10 ozt gold. Deep pockets are buying the dip.

Strange coincidence in the 100ozt silver with Apmex and JM "new" on flip sides of 33. Either Apmex had an inventory correction (mistaken identification of 33 bars), or there was decent sales volume on the day.

The following report details changes from 3/4 @ ~9am to 3/5 @ ~7am:

Looks ilke Apmex is aggressively restocking gold bar inventories.
 
PMBug,
With gold in backwardation, I think we should be seeing gold fly out of the marketplace, but it simply isn't. What's up?
 
Actually, sales volume appears to be very strong right now (not so much yesterday, but on average over the last week or so). Apmex has been restocking aggressively though - restocking 500-1,000 ozts while selling 200ozt per day in the 1ozt bars and ~300ozts while selling ~50-100ozt per day in 10ozt bars (all numbers guestimated in my head - not calculated in the spreadsheet).

Apmex themselves appear to be BTFD. I know they supposedly hedge their inventory purchases, but if the price of gold rises from here, I imagine they have much greater profit potential on the gold they stock at lower prices. If we are about to begin the next leg up, I'd think they would want to stock up now.
 
The following report details changes from 3/5 @ ~7am to 3/6 @ ~8am:
  • 10 ozt gold bars - from 141 to 128. Perth (-1), Apmex (+1), Pamp (-11), Credit Suisse (-2)

Very strong sales volume for both 1ozt and 10ozt gold bars continues. Decent sales volume in 100ozt silver bars, but they also restocked a bit of secondary market offerings.
 
The following report details changes from 3/6 @ ~8am to 3/7 @ ~8am:
  • 10 ozt gold bars - from 128 to 137. JM "poured" (+9), Pamp (-12), Credit Suisse (-1), generic no assay (+13)

Hey Bug,
Just a note of Thanks to you for keeping us up on this.:clap:
 
It's been 3 days since the last report.

The following report details changes from 3/15 @ ~9am to 3/18 @ ~9am:
  • 10 ozt gold bars - from 125 to 89. Perth (-5), JM "poured" (-1), Pamp (-10), generic no assay (-10), Credit Suisse (-10)
  • 1 ozt gold bars - from 3595 to 3860. Apmex (-17), Pamp (+396), Pamp YotD (-5), Credit Suisse (-82), Perth (-5), Heraeus (-1), Scotiabank (-1), generic with assay (-11), generic no assay (+1), Sunshine V2 (-6), RCM (-4)

Sales volume on 1ozt gold appears to have been strong for weekend, but the inventory reduction in 10ozt gold was *huge* for a weekend. However, the reductions for specific brands being multiples of 5 seem conspicuous to me - like they might be wholesale sales to another dealer. Apmex frequently stocks their 10ozt gold bar inventory in multiples of 5.

Sales volume in 100ozt silver was also very strong for a weekend.
 
The following report details changes from 3/18 @ ~9am to 3/19 @ ~9am:

Apmex appears to have restocked all products aggressively. Still, there was evidence of strong sales volume in 1ozt gold and 100ozt silver.
 
Tulving again Sold Out of 90%.

Todays report is almost an inverse of yesterday. Sales volume for 10ozt gold was strong and looked somewhat weak for 1ozt gold and 100ozt silver.

Apmex restocked gold bars aggressively - especially the 1ozt inventory which is now at levels last seen on January 18 (this is the 5th largest count for 1ozt gold since I've been tracking).

It appears that Apmex also restocked 100ozt silver bars (Apmex brand), but the overall inventory still went down because of very strong sales volume in other brands.
 
It's been 3 days since the last update.

The following report details changes from 3/29 @ ~9am to 4/1 @ ~8am:

Very strong sales volume for a holiday weekend - especially in 100ozt silver.
 
While Apmex seems to be well stocked, my LCS is bitching about supply constriction. He tells me that his orders are taking much longer to fill and that ASE's, AGE's, Phillies and Kooks are getting harder and harder to source in volume and at prices he is willing to pay.

  • 10 ozt gold bars - from 165 to 161. Pamp (-4)

Strong sales volume for 10ozt gold and 100ozt silver. Looks like weak volume for 1ozt gold.

Apmex's inventory for 1ozt gold is near it's all time high (as far as I've been tracking). Conversely, their inventory for 100ozt silver is sub-300 again - well below half of their average (~575) and median (~597) inventory levels (over the span of time that I've been tracking).
