Gold Trades at New All-Time High
Wednesday, 27 Jul 2011
Spot gold climbed to a new all-time high at $1,625. This is the second consecutive day the price of spot gold has reached a new high as traders worry over the US debt ceiling crisis. Spot gold may also be receiving a bid due to the potential for the US to lose its AAA rating. S&P has warned its highest rating could be in jeopardy if the US doesn't cut $4 trillion from the debt. On Monday President Obama warned the US could lose its rating for the first time in history. More gains in the commodity could be booked should Congress and the President fail to come to an agreement over the debt ceiling.
