June 15, 2009 - Gold investment pricing is taking yet another step back today as the metal declines to the lowest in more than three weeks while the rallying United States Dollar is eroding the short-term demand for safe haven precious metals. The United States Dollar Index is advancing for the second consecutive trading session as a direct after-effect of both the Japanese and Russian Finance Ministers mentioning that it’s prominence will continue as the world’s main reserve currency. This has erased some speculation about major countries shifting away from dollar-backed assets, yet this may not last for long. The upcoming United States economic data may prove that the financial crisis is only getting worse, with projections saying that the Producer Price Index may have risen .6% while the Consumer Price Index may have risen .3%. Little by little, inflation is beginning to show more signs of growing, and this is why wise investors are tracking gold investment pricing in order to enter the market before a domino effect of collapses occurs, starting with the United States Dollar. Fortunately, gold has helped investors preserve wealth and even profit during uncertain economic times similar to what we are experiencing now.

By around 3 PM Eastern Standard Time, gold investment pricing for bullion is headed downwards while several of the widely traded, common date investment-grade rare coins are remaining flat for the trading day despite the spot price falling to $927 per ounce, a decrease of 1.20% for the day, yet an increase of 6.45% in the last year.
