Gold = $ 1085

Gold surges to new record high

Excerpt:

Gold surged to a new record high price of 1,085.07 dollars an ounce Tuesday, a day after an announcement of a massive sale of gold by the International Monetary Fund to India.

Prices in London hit 1,085.07 dollars per troy ounce and New York prices reached 1,084.70 dollars, breaking records set last month.

The latest surge came a day after the International Monetary Fund announced it sold 200 tonnes of gold to India's central bank over a two-week period last month for a total of 6.7 billion dollars to bolster its finances.


Comment: Gold, deficit spending, and the Dollar

Gold and other commodity prices have resumed their surge in recent months amid a move away from the dollar, which has been slumping. The move accelerated last month on a report that Gulf states may stop using the greenback for oil trading.

Gold also gets support from fears about higher inflation because the metal is widely regarded by investors as a safe store of value.

  2. Silver is a good investment too! You can buy 20 American Eagles in a roll for about $ 390.
