Record-breaking momentum in precious metals demand at The Royal Mint in quarter 4 2025-26
May 25, 2026
The Royal Mint has reported another record quarter across almost all metrics for its Precious Metals Investments business online, capping a record financial year in its entirety.
Transaction volumes on royalmint.com reached an all-time high in Q4 (January – March), up 130% compared to the same quarter of the previous financial year, as investors increasingly turned to precious metals as a hedge against inflation and the prospect of a stock market correction. The surge in activity reflected growing investor confidence in precious metals as a long-term store of value, with gold breaking £4,000 ($5,000) per ounce for the first time in history.
