Gold Buyers Looking For Deals

The dollar finally had a little bump yesterday against the Euro which sent precious metals retreating after making large moves last week. Oil has been trying to help gold buyers regain some confidence in the metal but to no avail.

Gold, for the second straight day, fell $20 plus per ounce in trading. Gold stands at less than $870 per ounce while just Friday it closed at over $900. The Fed signals which have been making gold prices bounce around are at it again. Today with talks of a fed rate hike on the horizon, gold was not good for those invested.

However, those looking to purchase gold may be able to buy gold at a quite a discount to recent highs. Those willing to risk more possible pullbacks could be able to get into gold now and wait for the next run-up. Although we can’t be sure there will be another precious metals rally, the erratic market would tend to lend to these types of spikes in safer investments like gold.

Feds News Wasn’t Bad for Gold Buyers

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.

Fed Says No More Rate Cuts, Gold May Suffer

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.
