Gold Prices Surge to Near Three-Month Highs as Dollar Weakness Continues
Gold prices have rebounded to near three-month highs, breaking through $4,600 and reaching $4,659.92 on August 24.
The bull market in gold appears to be back, driven by persistent weakness in the US dollar and safe-haven demand triggered by concerns over US fiscal and debt issues.
ING believes that uncertainties surrounding the US fiscal outlook and market concerns over the purchasing power of the dollar are enhancing the appeal of gold as a store of value.
