As usual just lately, it’s a rough turn into the week for gold prices. Gold prices fell the most in six weeks as the dollar’s climb and slumping energy costs reduced demand for the precious metal as a hedge against inflation. Silver also declined.

The interesting thing about the internet these days is that we can see the inter-play of gold prices and the international economic climate.
