Costco sold $100 million in gold bars last quarter
(NBC, KYMA/KECY) - One Costco product has proven to be as good as gold. The warehouse giant says it sold more than $100 million worth of gold bars in the most recent quarter, which ended in November.
A company executive announced the news during an earnings call on Thursday.
Sold on the company's website and tipping scales at one ounce, the bars usually sell out just a few hours after they are posted online.
Each member of the retail giant is limited to two bars. Investors have taken a "shine" to gold recently.
It's currently selling for just over $2,000, but J.P. Morgan said the price of the precious metal could reach 2,300 dollars an ounce in 2024.
