Metals 101

What is bullion?

Precious metal in pure, tradable form — bars and coins valued by their metal content rather than collectibility. A one-ounce gold bar is bullion; a rare antique coin is something else.

“Metals mirror the dollar and the day's mood — a description, not a forecast.”

Gold Mornings is an educational digest for US readers. Nothing here is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Metals carry risk — you can lose money, and past performance does not predict future results. Some links may be affiliate links; we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Prices via Yahoo Finance, captured each morning before the US open.
