Global Volatility
The global market place is experiencing a great deal of volatility at the moment. Many of our customers have concerns about where to allocate their savings during these volatile times and believe that gold and silver bullion can be a way to invest to safely store your wealth. The recent ASX and the Australian dollar volatility has been a cause of concern and both are being driven by uncertainty that exists globally, whether it be terrorist and immigration concerns in Europe, US interest rate movements or the recent economic slowdown in China.
In response to the volatile economic environment, GBA has made some changes that we will help our company provide a better overall service to our customers. We have added several members to the GBA team with the intention of improving customer service and providing our customers with the best possible options when it comes to purchasing and storing gold and silver bullion.
New additions to the GBA team
Lisa and Sarah remain an invaluable part of the GBA team. There have been 3 additional staff members added to our team over the last few months. Please let us introduce them:
Scott MacRae – Director
Presently spreading himself between his home in Europe and Australia, Scott had a wealth of experience in commodities from Agricultural through to metals. Scott has spent the last 7 years in Asia and Europe involved in the financing, marketing, trading and operations of various commodity businesses.

What to expect in the future?
The team at GBA is presently working on several initiatives all designed to provide our customers with the best experience possible when dealing with GBA. We will begin communicating with our customers more regularly about what’s happening in the market places in Australia and globally. We are reviewing the mix of products offered to our customers and have added several items that give our customers a greater selection of quality bullion and coins (at the best prices) sourced both locally and internationally. Our team will be making continued improvements to our website that will allow customers a more interactive experience when they log on.
Most importantly we will be providing our customers with more information about what’s happening in the Silver and Gold markets and the world events that are influencing their price. Our reports will be regularly provided to our customers so that they can remain on top of recent events as they unfold.
Please stay tuned for more.
Vaulting at GBA
GBA is continuing to upgrade our vaulting facilities and this service is being offered to our ongoing customers to provide them with peace of mind. With secure trusted facilities our customers can buy (and store) sell and trade bullion knowing it’s secure and that their stored precious metals remain fully insured whilst in the GBA vault.
Our storage and insurance costs are extremely competitive. Please feel free to talk to Sarah Hogwood anytime to enquire about our vaulting services at sarah@goldbullionaustralia.com.au .
NEW PRODUCTS
GBA would like to ensure that our customers have the best possible choice of both Australian and International gold and silver products. We have added several new ranges of gold and silver supplied by accredited producers of bullion providing our customers with a better choice of gold and silver products at the best possible price.
We have also added a range of specialty items which recognise various cultural and religious events. These include the following renowned PAMP Suisse brand product series:
Lunar Series
The Lunar series depict the relevant lunar inscription along with the associated Chinese character. As the theme changes yearly, production of these will cease when the mintage is fully sold or at the end of the series.
The True Happiness bar is an elegant ingot design which depicts one of the most revered characters in the history of Chinese calligraphy. Of great historical significance in China, True Happiness uniquely combines the attributes of happiness and life, and over the centuries has come to represent to Chinese culture a powerful blessing of luck, long life, and prosperity.
Faith Series
This series of bars make great gifts for special moments and occasions as they celebrate the world’s major religions; Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Hindu. We have also added a range of Lakshmi bars, which features the Hindu Goddess of wealth, love, prosperity, fortune, and the embodiment of beauty. She is said to bring good luck and is believed to protect her devotees from all kinds of misery and money-related sorrows.
