The spot gold price returns on the international markets merely reflects the demands of investors to the actual supply in the market at any one time and it is therefore understandable that the spot gold price will fluctuate to the rhythms of the market forces; however, the continuing
spot price gold has been returning for the best part of twelve years, since 1999 in fact, has been inexorably upwards.
Fuelled in part by the continuing collapse of the American dollar there are far too many underlying and subtle influences that affect a particular market and the gold, silver and platinum market is no less susceptible to these forces. Gold has always been a highly prized and tradable commodity and has been so for well over 10,000 years. With the gradual formation of more formal markets over the last two or three centuries there has been an internationally agreed price via the spot gold price on the market. Back in January 1980 the spot gold price was a then staggering 850 US dollars an ounce and if adjusted to take inflation into account over the interim period the spot gold price today would be a monumental 2,700 dollars and ounce. Given todays gold price is hovering around the 1,550 dollars an ounce mark it is easy to understand that there is probably a lot of steam left in the bull market which has been running for the best part of twelve years.
Current gold prices reflect the historic gold price; that is to say in times of financial turmoil and political uncertainty investors turn to gold and other bullion products as a hedge against the certain inflationary pressures which accompany currencies around the world. Given that at this precise moment in time the economy of the US is in the early stages of a complete meltdown and the European currency (the Euro) has so many flaws, if it were a diamond it would be more like an old piece of coal. The paper currency of the last three centuries or so is on its last legs and while there is no stable alternative, although this will come in time, gold and other bullion products are quite literally, worth their weight in gold.
