The price of gold is determined by the amount of options contracts taken out on the COMEX. Negative real interest rates are the main correlating factor with gold future prices.
I love bucky beavers chart of the price of gold, because it is so high today it musty be a bubble and must be going to burst. I wonder if anything else is in a current bubble that has a similar looking chart.
Hmmmmmm
DJIA "That Bitch is gonna Blow"
US Housing: "That bitch is gonna blow!"
Tuition: "That bitch is gonna blow!"
Oil: "That bitch is gonna blow!!"
US Bond Market: "That bitch is gonna blow!!!"
Yes folks, everything is about to pop Because according to Bucky Beaver, anything that has increased in price of the last 40 years is in a bubble and is about to POP!!
Do you think Bucky Beaver is right? Are we all doomed or is Bucky a Casandra and the Moron who cried wolf again?
