Gold remains the big winner of 2008 but with other asset classes now showing very nice returns the prospects for further appreciation may run into redemptions as asset reallocation may gain pace. For all of the headlines Gold is not a huge market and any move away by major holders may develop into a heavy fall.
Gold Spread Betting, 31 Dec 08
Crude Oil and Gold are retreating in early action but are just going over the same ground as yesterday. $40 looks to be number that we are going out on for Brent and $870 on Gold.
I might have believed the Gold number at the beginning of 2008 (we closed at $833 on 31 Dec 2007) but the Oil movements have certainly been a surprise. What is the betting we go straight back up to $100 next year?
Gold Spread Betting, 30 Dec 08
Markets continue to wing all over the place with Gold, Oil and the currencies taking their turn over the Christmas period to add some spice into proceedings.
Gold Spread Betting, 29 Dec 08
Gold closed last week down -$0.40 at $838.25 (down -0.05%)
Gold Spread Betting, 22 Dec 08
Gold closed last week up $14.75 at $838.65 (up 1.79%)
