Buying Gold may not be as bad as we reported that it was in this article on fed cuts affecting gold prices. Gold jumped nearly $25 on Friday.
Gold is now back over $900 an ounce, and as analysts continue to predict oil heading higher, gold may still be a great buy for those looking to get into a precious metal that will continue to be in high demand for years to come.
We report all too often on this and our other precious metals network blogs that this is a great time to buy precious metals like gold and silver. Why, because inflation is here, oil is rising, and the world economy is growing at a faster pace than ever before. Buying into metals that provide industrial needs as well as ornamental products is most likely going to prove to be a great move.
The Feds may not be able to affect this precious metal as well as some analysts thought.
The price of gold retreated today on the Feds announcement that they were most likely done cutting rates. This announcement came while oil continues to rise and the market remains shaky.
Gold, which is one of those safe havens for dollars, especially when the dollar is weak as it is now, may suffer at the hands no more rate cuts. However, this might only be temporary. Oil is continuing to rise sparking talk of a recession and everyone is feeling the pain of inflation and rising food prices. So why won’t gold follow suit.
Although this is a blog on gold, you have to look at as a commodity slice of the whole market. Prices are going up on all commodities because there is a rising demand for all commodities while there isn’t as much a supply. This means higher prices.
The FED may be trying to curb inflation but will they kill golds rise? I’m guessing not. Gold may be at great price to buy right now.
