Gold hits record highs as investors move in
NEW YORK: For lack of a better option, investors are flooding into gold.
Gold prices hit a record high Wednesday, settling at $1,292.10 after a rally that started late Tuesday.The run-up came after the Federal Reserve indicated it will leave interest rates historically low, and might be open to printing more money to stimulate a weak economy. The news sent the dollar lower, and big investment funds snapped up gold as a safe haven.
"People are questioning where to turn," said Dan Cook, an analyst with IG Markets in Chicago. "As long as there are a lot of concerns on the global economy ... gold can keep going higher."
Federal Reserve ini adalah tunjang sistem kapitalism di muka bumi ini. Pemain utama ekonomi dunia. Kita lihat di atas bahawa Federal Reserve ingin mencetak lebih duit. Terus nilai dollar jatuh kerana pelabur tahu bahawa cetak lebih duit akan menyusutkan nilai wang kertas. Jadi mereka beli apa? BELI EMAS
Gold has been climbing steadily since the financial crisis of 2008, a sign that investors aren't sure where to park their money. While the stock market has been rising in recent weeks, equities are still a volatile investment. And the stalled economic recovery has added to the uncertainty, as central banks and governments consider more stimulus measures that could boost inflation.
Emas sebagai penyimpan kekayaan. Kesan inflasi terhadap emas ialah 0%. Kebanyakan pelabur seperti di atas sedang membeli emas kerana mereka tahu emas adalah pelaburan paling selamat. "stimulus measures that could boost inflation" di atas bermaksud mencetak duit kertas utk merangsang ekonomi tetapi akan meningkatkan kadar inflasi (nilai wang kertas jatuh kerana banyak dan kuasa membeli berkurang).
Gold cost $718.20 in October 2008, just after the financial crisis, 80 percent below Wednesday's closing price.
The immediate factor behind gold's rise was the Federal Reserve's announcement Tuesday that the bank might again jump in to help the struggling U.S. economy, said William Rhind, strategic director of ETF securities.
The Fed's actions, coupled with more stimulus from other countries, raises the specter of inflation, Rhind said. That makes gold a natural shelter for investors who see a long stretch of weak growth and a sagging dollar.
That means current gold prices could stay around the level of $1,300 for some time to come, Rhind said.
"It's not something that can be changed in the short term. The reason is that with looser monetary policy, and with deteriorating (government) balance sheets, that will lead to inflation pressure," he said.
Langkah bank-bank pusat dan bank dunia 'menolong' ekonomi sesebuah negara hanyalah memburukkan keadaan kerana mereka mencetak wang kertas lebih banyak. Nilai wang kertas USD1 sekarang tidak sama dengan USD1 5 tahun lalu. Kerana itu untuk jangka masa yang panjang, kita lihat harga emas seperti meningkat tetapi hakikatnya sekarang nilai wang kertas kita jatuh.Hanya kenaikan dan penurunan harga jangka pendek dipengaruhi oleh permintaan dan pengeluaran.
At the same time, investors are still suspicious of stock markets after a "flash crash" in May wiped out stock values in a matter of minutes, said Cook, the IG Markets analyst. Prices recovered that day, but the causes of the crash are still under investigation.
Other precious metals also rose. Silver December contracts gained 41.5 cents to settle at $21.055 an ounce and copper gained 8.4 cents to settle at $3.5650 a pound.
September platinum gained $20.50 to settle at $1,632.90 a pound while September palladium gained $11.85 to settle at $539.65.
Harga logam seperti emas dan silver sentiasa bernilai. Logam adalah benda yang ada nilai mengikut beratnya tetapi wang kertas tiada nilai sebenar. Harga logam-logam ini akan sentiasa naik memandangkan wang kertas yang digunakan hari ini boleh dicetak dan dimanipulasi oleh golongan tertentu.
Oil prices slid after the government said stockpiles of oil and gasoline grew last week, even though a major pipeline serving Midwest refineries was shut because of a leak.
Benchmark crude for November delivery lost 26 cents to settle at $74.71 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
In other Nymex trading in October contracts, heating oil fell 1.29 cents to settle at $2.1070 a gallon and gasoline lost 1.82 cents to settle at $1.9014 a gallon. Natural gas rose 4.7 cents to settle at $3.966 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent crude fell 47 cents to settle at $77.95 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange. - AP
Kesimpulannya, emas dan perak adalah sesuatu yg bernilai dan kalis inflasi. Nilai wang kertas yang susut setiap tahun dapat dinilai dengan nilai emas. Saya menyeru semua sahabat2 untuk mula menyimpan gold bar, silver bar, dirham atau dinar untuk menyimpan nilai kekayaan kita dengan selamat.Wassalam
