Gold is one of the most widely discussed metals due to its prominent role in both the
investment and consumer world. Gold was also used as the
world reserve currency up through most of the 20th century. Even though gold is no longer used as a primary form of currency in developed nations, it continues to have a strong impact on the value of those currencies. Moreover, there is a strong correlation between its value and the strength of
currencies trading on foreign exchanges.
The gold market is subject to speculation and volatility as are other markets. Internationally gold price is noted in USD and gold tend to show a inverse
relationship to USD. So when the dollar gets strong, the gold price decreases and when the dollar gets weaker, then the
gold price increases.

affect gold price. Gold is the most popular as an
investment. Investors generally buy gold as a way of diversifying risk, especially through the use of futures contracts and derivatives.
