Gold is having a moment, and so is Costco. The precious metal rallied at the beginning of the year, as the classic "safe haven" asset gained in popularity amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Despite a temporary dip, multiple analysts expect gold prices to surge to $6,000 or more per ounce by the end of this year.
With price forecasts like that, Costco's glittering 1-ounce gold bars have been selling out consistently online. Curious investors and everyday members alike are clamoring for access. Costco now offers 24-karat gold, silver and platinum options through its website (and occasionally in warehouses).
