Costco's chief financial officer on Tuesday said the retailer was selling out of one-ounce gold bars within a matter of hours.
Costco Wholesale Corp. sells lots of things you wouldn’t expect from a big-box retailer: caskets, caviar, six-pound tubs of Nutella. Add to that list one-ounce bars of gold, which the company on Tuesday said were selling out within a matter of hours.
Costco did not immediately respond to a request for more information about the types of gold bars it sells, how much they cost or the factors behind the demand. On Wednesday, the site showed a price of $1979.99 per ounce for the bars. Shares of Costco were up 1.3% on Wednesday.
