June 18, 2009 - Short-term safe haven demand is decreasing today as the gold spot price takes a step backwards, yet the latest short-term market projections are forecasting a bullish summer for the metal as the United States Dollar continues facing pressure from several different factors such as deflation, inflation and speculation about losing its global reserve currency status. In the last eight years, the United States economy has slowly but surely contracted into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and masses of investors have lost trillions of dollars with mainstream investments in stocks, bonds and real estate. While all of this negative fluctuation occurred, the gold spot price increased more than 300% as wise American investors flocked to the metal due to its historically profitable and preservative potential during unstable economic times. Despite the latest comments from the Government and Federal Reserve, it doesn’t appear like the financial crisis is getting any better, thus if you seek to begin a diversification in one of history’s most preservative assets, it is highly recommended that you do so before it’s too late.

By around 1:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, the gold spot price is moving downwards as the United States Dollar and major stock indexes recover from yesterday’s losses, yet the spot price has only made a minor decline to $932.70 per ounce, moving down $6.10 for the day, yet still moving up $50.60 in last year.
