(1888PressRelease) November 25, 2011 - MIAMI, FL - As gold prices were sliding, then edging back, in dollar terms, and the New York exchange was closed for Thanksgiving, gold actually gained in London due to increased physical demand at lower prices. Demand from Asia was also picking up.
The ongoing crisis in Europe, actually worsening daily, has served to keep the dollar strong and a cap on gold prices. Gold dropped at the opening of trading on Friday, only to edge back up again in the course of the morning.
"This is the 11th year of a bull market for gold," says Bill Hionas. "As far as the long-term picture is concerned, we do not see this changing. However, the European crisis has triggered a risk-aversion psychology and gold is suffering in the short term as a result."
A drop in the euro causes a rise in the dollar as investors rush to the US dollar and Treasuries for protection. This makes gold expensive to buy for holders of other currencies. Considering that the US has serious debt issues of its own, this is a situation that may change in the near future.
It may well be that current prices offer superb Black Friday deals for investors interested in taking a position in precious metals. We are seeing real value in platinum, for example, at prices below $1550 and for palladium below $600. It will likely not be long before we see the bargain hunters rushing in and forcing prices back up again.
