Gold hits a new high as Wall Street swings wildly August 19, 2011 Print Version
Source: AP
Investors flocked to gold Friday, sending it to the latest of a series of record highs, as fears about recession in the world's major economies infected financial markets.
The metal soared as high as $1,881.40 an ounce. It's been on a tear this summer, rising more than 15 percent in August alone. In the same three weeks, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index has fallen about 12 percent.
The last time gold was worth less than $1,000 an ounce was October 2009. It has gained steadily since then, a beneficiary of investors' concern about the uncertain state of the global economy, diving stock markets and moves by central banks around the world to weaken their currencies.
The record highs remain below gold's 1980 peak when adjusted for inflation, however. That peak of $850 an ounce equals about $2,400 in today's dollars.
