Navtej Kohli on rising Gold Prices

Navtej Kohli found an interesting piece of news. Are gold prices really heading towards a record high?

 As oil price is rising and dollar declining, gold has climbed back over $900. But there’s not much more headroom.

Gold, which typically rises during times of economic uncertainty and inflation, hit an all-time high of more than $1,030 an ounce back in mid-March.

The price started to slip soon after that as credit crunch fears subsided. But it has been back on the rise this week partly due to the dollar’s weakness and stubbornly high oil prices.

A week ago, gold futures were trading at $866 an ounce. Today, they hit nearly $909 in mid-morning trading. That’s a 5% jump in just a couple of days.
