Silver product sales dropped 31% month-on-month to 647,382 ounces, the lowest level since June. It posted an 18% fall from last year.
KEY QUOTE
"Mints have always been subject to the ebbs and flows of market demand for precious metals," said Neil Vance, Perth Mint's general manager of minted products.
"It was unusual to experience the volume of sales we did for the length of time we did but it does appear we are returning to the market normal we’ve seen in previous years."
