Gold may be out of favor on Wall Street . . . but not on Main Street, nor across Asia where, led by China and India, private-sector gold buying of physical gold, including small bars and bullion coins, continues apace.
Gold: Recovery Insight
Despite increasingly strong supply/demand fundamentals, gold prices continue to tread water – more or less within a narrow $100 range – having hit overhead resistance a few weeks ago near $1175 and now testing support near $1075 an ounce.
Interest Rates, Fed Policy, And The Price Of Gold
