August 6, 2009 – The gold spot price has taken a minor step backwards today after hitting $970 per ounce during the early morning trading hours. The United States Dollar Index is currently strengthening, yet many wise American investors continue to remain cautious with dollar-backed asset at the moment after the fiat currency rapidly hit a seven month low versus the euro earlier in the week. Volatility with the United States Dollar has caused masses of investors to stray away from dollar-backed assets in exchange for assets that hold true value, such as gold. The current gold spot price has tumbled to $960.60 per ounce, falling $2.20 or .23% for the trading day, yet still increasing $81.60 or 9.28% in the last 365 trading days. Short-term market forecasts are predicting that the metal may fluctuate between $950 per ounce and $985 per ounce until significant movement occurs with the United States Dollar.

As you may already know, the gold spot price fluctuates up and down on a daily basis as supply and demand pushes and pulls the price of the metal on several commodities exchanges worldwide. When beginning a gold investment, it’s very important that you know how to track the gold spot price because doing so could make a significant difference with the overall success of your diversification.
